Princess Yongning looked at this male face similar to Cheng Jin, and her heart ached: "How dare you lie to me?!"

The first time she fell into the hands of Cheng Jin, the second time she fell into the hands of Ke Shao, and both times it was Qin Zhao who plotted against her.

"Your Highness committed treason, and everyone will be punished. However, the Queen has ordered me to take Your Highness back to the palace to accept punishment." Ke Shao didn't want to look at Princess Yongning anymore and walked away. .

Princess Yongning wanted to say something else, but in the end her consciousness was swallowed by darkness.

When she woke up again, the eldest princess Yongning found herself back in Yongning Zhai. The two people in the first place were the emperor and the empress.

Princess Yongning looked around but did not see Ke Shao. She lowered her face and said to Xiao Ce, "Brother, will you hand Ke Shao over to my sister for treatment?!"

"Punishment?" Xiao Ce was surprised that Princess Yongning said this.

"No matter what, I can't let him get away with it. Even if I die, I will drag him to hell with me!" Princess Yongning got up from the ground, still looking high and high.

Qin Zhao was a little surprised when she heard this. She once again witnessed the disgusting and domineering Princess Yongning.

Xiao Ce also returned to his normal state at this time, and said calmly: "Ke Shao is the internal agent that I and the Queen placed beside you. It is thanks to him that we can eradicate the scourge of Dayue clan this time. Since you are a hero, Ke Shao will be the hero in the future." Shao will rise to prominence. As for the hell you mentioned, there is no way you will see it."

Princess Yongning fell silent. She looked at Qin Zhao, who was leaning next to Xiao Ce as if he had no bones, and asked coldly: "Qin Zhao, was it you who sent Ke Shao to me?"

"Yes, don't you like Cheng Jin? I specially selected a man who is similar to Prince Cheng to give to you. This is a great gift from me. You have not let me down, and you trust Ke Shao very much. , this time Ke Shao has made great achievements, and you have a share of the credit. But, what you committed is treason, and no one can save you this time." Qin Zhao looked at Princess Yongning with a gentle smile.

Princess Yongning hated Qin Zhao's aloof appearance the most. She suddenly rushed towards Qin Zhao, but before she could get close to Qin Zhao, Xiao Ce hit her right shoulder with a palm and fell heavily to the ground.

"Come here, put Princess Yongning in the sky prison and execute her on a certain day! Also strip her of her titles and eliminate the royal family tree!" Xiao Ce gave an oral order in a cold voice.

In this way, Princess Yongning had no chance to speak anymore and dragged her out of Yongningzhai.

This was also the last time Qin Zhao saw the former eldest princess.

Of course, this matter spread throughout the harem. Due to Xiao Ce's authority, everyone did not dare to discuss it openly for fear of being implicated.

From that day on, Xiao Ce focused most of his energy on Qin Zhao. Perhaps because of the previous separation, he missed Qin Zhao's pregnancy a few months ago, so Xiao Ce became even more concerned about Qin Zhao and stayed with her all the time, fearing that anything would happen to her.

Seeing Qin Zhao's belly getting bigger day by day, the people in the court became more stable. After several months of repairs, some young and talented officials were promoted.

Time soon came to the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Liang Shoufu suddenly retired and returned to his hometown. The news once again shocked the government and the public.

The chief assistant position was vacated, and everyone's minds became active again.

This time everyone had a tacit understanding and focused on Zhao Yu.

Ever since Xiao Ce suddenly left the palace at the beginning of the year and issued an imperial edict for Zhao Yu to supervise the country, everyone has seen the clues. Xiao Ce valued Zhao Yu very much and trusted Zhao Yu, otherwise he would not have put such great power in Zhao Yu's hands.

The position of chief minister of the cabinet is vacant this time. There is no doubt that Zhao Yu has a great chance of winning.

Everyone wanted to go to the Zhao Mansion and keep in touch with Zhao Yu, but Zhao Yu made excuses and refused to see outsiders.

Qin Zhao, who was in the harem, also received the news of Liang Shoufu's resignation. Looking at Xiao Ce's expression in the past few days, she guessed that Xiao Ce's concerns were related to Zhao Yu.

Originally, her marriage to Zhao Yu had passed long ago. If it hadn't been for this incident, she would have almost forgotten about this person.

Xiao Ce couldn't make up his mind, probably because she was Zhao Yu's first wife.

But even if Xiao Ce didn't mention it, she wouldn't ask. She still understood why the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is two days away. Before going to bed, Qin Zhao talked to Xiao Ce about the hunting in the western suburbs last year. He couldn't help but sigh: "Time flies so fast. It's been almost a year in the blink of an eye. I still remember it." There's a lot going on in the Western Suburbs paddock."

Xiao Ce touched her bulging belly and said with gentle eyes, "In one month, you will give birth."

At this moment, the child suddenly kicked his palm, as if playing with him.

Qin Zhao suddenly laughed: "This kid is so strong."

Most likely still a boy.

Xiao Ce looked at her beaming smile: "Whether it's a boy or a girl, this child's temperament may be like yours."

Qin Zhao nodded vigorously, and she also felt that this was a high possibility.

The two chatted about their unborn baby for a while, and the room became quiet again.

Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao's sleepy eyes and asked without warning: "Do you think it would be good for Zhao Yu to take the position of chief minister of the cabinet?"

"Didn't the Emperor already have the answer in his mind? Besides Mr. Zhao, who else is more suitable for this position?" Qin Zhao thought and finally said it.

Xiao Ce had no choice but to laugh. The person who knew him best was Qin Zhao.

"I know you are upset because I once married into the Zhao family. But you also know that in the previous life, Mr. Zhao once became an official, but later he stayed away from the court because of the Wu family. A minister like Mr. Zhao will indeed He is a good official, but his previous life was a bit of a pity." Qin Zhao said seriously.

Xiao Ce thoughtfully said: "Zhao Yu is indeed suitable for the position of chief minister. This time I leave the palace and let him supervise the country, it is also a test for him."

As Qin Zhao said, he had already made his decision, but it was just because Zhao Yu had married Qin Zhao and he was worried about it.

"Anyway, you can make up your mind on this kind of thing. I don't know anything about the court affairs. If you mind my marriage with him and have a grudge in your heart, then change someone to be the first assistant." Qin Zhao did not shy away. To put it bluntly.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with her whether Zhao Yu should be the first assistant, and she has no idea about it.

Xiao Ce burst out laughing when he saw her like this.

He was feeling awkward, but she was so open-minded. No wonder she said he was petty-minded more than once.

"Forget it, just him, I'm very generous." Xiao Ce emphasized the last few words specifically for Qin Zhao to hear.

Qin Zhao was so happy that he took a bite on his jaw, his eyes filled with clear water: "Yes, the most generous one is you, the young master of the emperor."

Xiao Ce pecked her lips lightly, not daring to deepen the kiss.

After being a vegetarian for such a long time, he tried his best to avoid close contact with her, just because he was afraid that he would not be able to help but attack her.
