Xiao Yi's warm breath sprayed against Qin Zhao's ears, and Qin Zhao clenched his fists tightly before he could hold back his shot against Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi stared fixedly at the woman in front of him for a long while, and then left gracefully.

Qin Zhao felt relieved when he heard Xiao Yi's footsteps going away.

She stepped forward to help Baoyu up, "Get up."

Baoyu stood aside silently: "It's the slaves who have troubled the empress."

"It's not you, it could be someone else. As long as it's someone I care about, King An may make a fuss about it. The culprit is this palace." Qin Zhao sat down with Baozhu's support.

Today she had Longyu in her hand, so she dismissed Xiao Yi temporarily, and Xiao Yi will definitely embarrass her again in the future.

When Xiao Yi returned to Prince An's mansion, Hu immediately came forward: "Your Highness can't go on like this, if the emperor returns to the palace safely, he will settle the score with His Highness as soon as possible."

Xiao Yi is disrespectful to Qin Zhao now, and there are so many witnesses, if Xiao Ce returns safely, will Xiao Yi not be punished?

"There are only two possibilities for the development of the situation. One is that the emperor is dead, and the other is that the emperor is safe. The former, Xiao Ce, is no longer a threat, and the latter, the emperor, will not let me go. This king is drunk now. , understand?" Xiao Yi curled his lips indifferently.

He knew Xiao Ce well, if he failed, Xiao Ce would definitely target him with suspicion. After all, Xiao Ce had disliked him long before that, and sent many people to keep an eye on Prince An's Mansion.

Seth secretly planned to attack Da Qi this time, but Xiao Ce knew about this plot in advance. Qin Zhao had been checking medical books as early as last month, and he wondered whether Xiao Ce knew that he was going to poison him.

If it was as he guessed, his life might not be saved.

If he didn't have a long time to live, then his biggest regret must be Qin Zhao.

Hu wanted to refute, but he also knew that Xiao Yi's words made sense, so is this why Xiao Yi is reckless?

"Maybe His Highness is thinking too much. Even if the matter fails, the emperor has no evidence, so His Highness may not be able to be punished." Hu said with difficulty.

Xiao Yi didn't want to continue this topic: "You send a message to the palace that this king wants to take the dragon jade from Qin Zhao's hand."

In order to prevent Qin Zhao from repeating his old tricks when he went to look for Qin Zhao again.

Hu's face changed slightly: "Does Your Highness have to do this?"

She managed to place a good chess piece in Kunning Palace.

"Chess pieces should always be used at the most suitable time." Xiao Yi said, and went to the other garden where Lu He lived.

Hu saw it and knew that Xiao Yi was looking for Lu He again.

Now even Lu He has more favors than her and Luo Shang, just because Lu He has a relationship with Zhuang Qing, it is simply ridiculous.

The next day, Qin Zhao stopped wandering around and stayed in Kunning Palace honestly.

Anyway, she couldn't avoid Xiao Yi, as long as she had Longyu in her hands, Xiao Yi would restrain herself more or less.

It's just that she didn't expect that the dragon jade that she put on the dressing table yesterday had disappeared.

To be able to take away Long Yu under her nose, there is no doubt that she is an inside thief.

She only needs to think carefully, and she knows who took the dragon jade. Besides Baolan, who else around her would betray her?

Not only Qin Zhao thought of it, Baozhu also thought of who took the dragon jade.

"Ma'am..."

"Let Baolan come in." Qin Zhao was not surprised.

Soon Baolan entered and knelt down in front of Qin Zhao. Although Qin Zhao didn't ask anything, she knew she couldn't hide anymore.

Qin Zhao has been guarding against her all along, and her pawn is not very useful. Now she has become a useless chess game, whether life or death is just a matter of Qin Zhao's thought.

"You have nothing to say?" Qin Zhao's eyes fixed on Baolan's head.

Baolan raised her head and looked at Qin Zhao: "The dragon jade was taken by the servant, and the servant has nothing to say, but it is up to the empress to deal with it."

"What benefits did King An give you?" Qin Zhao was still a little curious.

Xiao Yi is a romantic and sentimental person, he seems like a waste prince, but there are many people who work for Xiao Yi.

If there is no accident, Baolan is also one of the people trained by the Hu family.

"My servant has only met His Highness King An a few times. But from the time I can remember, this servant has been working for that person." Baolan replied in a general way.

Qin Zhaoruo thought: "It probably means that he was brainwashed."

Baolan remained silent.

"Your pawn was easily abandoned by King An. You are still so young, don't you want to live?" Qin Zhao still couldn't understand.

Baolan looked bewildered, and after a while she finally said: "The fate of the servant is doomed as early as the day of entering the palace."

It's not that she doesn't want to live, but that she can't live.

Qin Zhao was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly understood the meaning of Baolan's words.

The next moment, Baolan fell to the ground clutching her stomach, a mouthful of black blood spilled from her lips.

Baozhu was horrified when she saw this scene, but Qin Zhao looked indifferent.

She should have thought earlier, since Baolan is a useless chess piece and has no value, Xiao Yi can no longer keep this chess piece.

"Slaves, slaves, also want to have a master as good as the empress..."

Baolan struggled to finish the sentence.

The focus in her eyes gradually turned into nothingness. She thought more than once that it would be great if she was one of Qin Zhao's Four Treasures. The time she spent in Kunning Palace was the most relaxed and pleasant life in her life.

In fact, she doesn't regret coming to Qin Zhao's side to serve her, even though Qin Zhao never trusted her, she still unconsciously regards Qin Zhao as her master...

Seeing Baolan die in front of him, Qin Zhao felt uncomfortable.

Baozhu was afraid that her mood swings would affect her pregnancy, so she hurriedly ordered someone to take Baolan's body away.

"Xiao Linzi, bury Baolan properly." Qin Zhao stepped forward and closed Baolan's empty eyes.

Baolan has a calm personality, and often resembles Baozhu, but maybe someone deliberately cultivated Baolan to have the temperament of Baozhu.

I don't know what Baolan's original temperament was like? As a pawn, Baolan has no chance to choose her own destiny.

Many people in Kunning Palace didn't know what happened, they only knew that Baolan, who had always been calm, stable and popular, suddenly passed away.

This incident quickly spread in the harem, and everyone said that Baolan had done something wrong and was executed by Qin Zhao, but few people cared about the real cause of Baolan's death.

Everyone only thought that Empress Qin was too vicious, she was pregnant with a dragon's heir and didn't accumulate blessings for her child, so she actually plotted against her close servant.

After Xiao Yi came down to court, he occasionally heard some palace servants and servants speaking ill of Qin Zhao behind his back, so he directly ordered the guards to pull out the tongues of these people.

This incident spread quickly, and Xiao Yi's vicious methods were very similar to Xiao Ce's previous methods of treatment.

For a while, everyone was in danger and dared not talk about Qin Zhao behind his back.

Xiao Yi went to Kunning Palace, this time it was like entering a land without anyone, no one stopped him.

There was some surprise in his heart, and he went all the way unimpeded, and finally went to the study.

Qin Zhao was reading a book, he leaned forward curiously and asked, "Zhao Zhao, what are you reading?"
