After the Divorce, I Was Spoiled By the Prince

As soon as the news came out, it naturally spread to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Originally, the Empress Dowager Guo was under house arrest in the Cihe Palace. Although the imperial doctor went to see a doctor every day as usual, the Empress Dowager Guo could never leave the Cihe Palace.

Now it is rumored that the Empress Dowager Guo is critically ill. As the only son of Empress Dowager Guo, how can Xiao Ce continue to put Empress Dowager Guo under house arrest?

If this incident spreads to the public, it will definitely become a topic of conversation among the common people, and Xiao Ce's fame will definitely be destroyed.

Qin Zhao didn't know if Empress Dowager Guo was really critically ill, but she knew that Xiao Ce could no longer place Empress Dowager Guo under house arrest.

It's just that in the face of this murderer who wants to kill her, she can't do it without any grudges.

After the news that the Empress Dowager Guo was critically ill came out, not only were there different opinions, but there were also many more noisy voices in the harem.

Some people are talking behind their backs, and today Shang is too ruthless. That is the birth mother of Sheng Shang, and her biological mother is critically ill, but she is still trapped in the Court of Mercy, unable to get out. Daqi also values ​​filial piety and righteousness the most, but today it is such a style...

Just in Jinyang Palace, Qin Zhao heard so many voices, not to mention the entire harem.

In fact, she didn't understand why Xiao Ce didn't let him go, and didn't even ask Luo Qing to go to the palace to see the Queen Mother Guo.

Xiao Ce also knew that Luo Qing's medical skills were superb. If you go to Luo Qing to have a look, you may know the authenticity of this matter.

Later, there were various voices even from the court, and there were rumors that Xiao Ce put the Empress Dowager Guo under house arrest because of Qin Zhao.

The dignified king of a country put his own mother under house arrest for a demon concubine. It is conceivable how lethal this kind of words spread.

Qin Zhao didn't pay attention to this matter, but when he heard this, he knew that the matter was getting worse and worse.

There may even be a force behind the rumors.

It is also possible that it is the result of the combined force of several forces.

Qin Zhao pleaded with Xiao Ce last time, but failed to get Xiao Ce to agree to release Nianyun from the Cihe Palace, and Nianyun was eager to leave the Cihe Palace.

Qin Zhao thought that this incident must have Nianyun's plan in it, and Nianyun did have such a plan.

Baozhu tried her best not to let all kinds of disturbing voices enter the main hall, but Qin Zhao's hearing was not bad, and he knew what he should know.

A few days later, the rumors intensified. On this day, Zhang Jixiang's hurried footsteps sounded outside Jinyang Palace. Qin Zhao guessed that Zhang Jixiang was looking for him.

As soon as Zhang Jixiang came in, he knelt down in front of Qin Zhao and kowtowed a few times: "The servant is overstepping the rules, please help the emperor to get out of the predicament!"

Qin Zhao looked at Zhang Jixiang steadily, and then asked after a while, "What's the meaning of this?"

"Although the emperor didn't say anything, the slaves know that the emperor did not visit the empress dowager because the empress dowager was cruel to the concubine. Just because the emperor didn't want to wrong the concubine." Zhang Jixiang used to be cut off. dare not draw such a conclusion.

But at this moment, he clearly knew the thoughts of his master.

Qin Zhao was stunned: "You think too much."

Xiao Ce wouldn't care about anyone. The reason why she put Empress Dowager Guo under house arrest was because Empress Dowager Guo really killed her.

The emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. Even if it wasn't for her, Xiao Ce would not easily let the Queen Mother Guo go.

"The servant didn't think too much..." Zhang Jixiang felt that it was normal for the imperial concubine to not believe it.

However, "I'd still like to invite the Empress for a trip, and persuade the emperor to put the overall situation first--"

"Why?!" Qin Zhao interrupted Zhang Jixiang abruptly.

Zhang Jixiang was stunned for a moment, not understanding the meaning of Qin Zhao's words.

He looked at the noble concubine, and saw her eyes dazed, and said slowly: "If I hadn't woken up in time that day, I would have died in the hands of the Queen Mother Guo. Since the day I entered the palace, the Queen Mother Guo has not only If you target Ben Gong once and oppose Ben Gong everywhere, Ben Gong is like a soft persimmon, someone who doesn’t fight back after being bullied?”

Zhang Jixiang was heartbroken, knowing that the concubine was not wrong.

"It's because Niangniang cares about the emperor and doesn't want to embarrass the emperor. Niangniang has exposed her personal grievances time and time again, and even saved the empress dowager. The slaves know that they are soft-spoken, but this incident is different. Caused the people's condemnation of the emperor, and even caused civil strife..." Zhang Jixiang lowered his head slumped.

Qin Zhao opened his mouth, wanting to say that Zhang Jixiang thought too much.

But without far-sightedness, there must be near-term worries. She has always known that Xiao Yi is not as indifferent to the world as she seems on the surface, and she also knows that Xiao Yi is eyeing the throne.

If the news this time was released by Xiao Yi, it was not due to the women's disputes in the harem, and she also knew that Xiao Yi pretended to be unconscious and romantic for many years, but what he was waiting for was actually an opportunity.

The main hall was quiet, Zhang Jixiang was still kneeling on the ground, but he could already see that the imperial concubine had shaken.

Yes, the concubine has always been a sensible woman, so the emperor treats the concubine differently.

Qin Zhao sat quietly in his place, looking at the fine dust floating in the air, and lost his mind for a long time.

In the end, she got up, and her voice was slightly hoarse: "Bengong will come with you."

Zhang Jixiang quickly got up and led the way.

This time Qin Zhao saw Xiao Ce practicing calligraphy in Sanxitang.

Many times, the Xiao Ce she saw was dealing with government affairs. He seldom had leisure time and spent his energy on such trivial matters as practicing calligraphy.

The last time I watched Xiao Ce practice calligraphy, it seemed that he was still in the East Palace period. He thought her calligraphy was ugly, so he respected her and came to teach her calligraphy in person.

A few years have passed, and if you don't think about it carefully, you can hardly remember it.

She stepped forward to salute Xiao Ce, but Xiao Ce did not look back at her, and practiced calligraphy by herself.

She stood by Xiao Ce's side and looked at it, and saw that his words were dragons and phoenixes dancing, vigorous and powerful, and there was a hint of suaveness.

A small person like her, who was ignorant before, but only started to work hard after entering the palace under Xiao Ce's persecution, is of course not enough to judge Xiao Ce's handwriting.

But judging from the words he wrote, he was decisive and did not seem to be hesitant.

That is to say, didn't the serious illness of Empress Dowager Guo disturb Xiao Ce's mind?

She was distracted when Xiao Ce suddenly handed her the wolf pen: "Concubine Ai, write a few words for me to see."

Qin Zhao smiled bitterly when he heard the words: "I can't read the words of the concubine."

For this reason, Xiao Ce used to eliminate her a lot.

Having said that, she bravely wrote four words: "The overall situation is the most important."

She used to use Yanghao's small pen, but the wolf's brush that she used today, the words she wrote were a bit nondescript, and she didn't even see it herself.

Xiao Ce's eyes were fixed on the words "the overall situation is the most important", and he turned to look at her, but she was facing a small section of her fair and jade-like swan neck.

He had always known that she was beautiful, but at this moment, Qiao Shengsheng was standing beside him, with a slight smile on the corner of his lips, but it also made him take a second look.
