Xiao Ce also spoke at the right time: "Qin Zhao is by my side just now, she has no transgressions, and I will not allow anyone to slander her."

He glanced at Queen Mother Guo, then took Qin Zhao's hand, "I will take you out for a walk."

Qin Zhao followed Xiao Ce out of the main hall. When the Queen Mother Guo saw this scene, she clenched her fists and knew that today's battle was too hasty.

No matter how dissatisfied she is with Qin Zhao, she shouldn't say such words on such a big occasion today, the emperor must be very angry this time.

In addition, she didn't like King An very much. When she saw the scene of King An and Qin Zhao looking at each other before, she blurted out that they were having an affair without thinking much.

At that time, she only wanted to embarrass Qin Zhao, but didn't want to go deeper. In the end, she did not embarrass Qin Zhao, but made the emperor really angry.

But if this battle can make the emperor suspect Qin Zhao of an affair between Prince An and Qin Zhao, then it is worthwhile for her to try today.

Yes, she just wanted to provoke a conflict between the emperor and Qin Zhao. It would be an unexpected joy if the emperor could make the emperor suspect that Qin Zhao was blooming with water.

As soon as Xiao Ce left, the scene became quiet.

When the concubines of the harem saw that Xiao Ce was gone, they suddenly became disillusioned.

Speaking of which, Qin Zhao is still an eyesore. Before Qin Zhao came, Xiao Ce sat in the Cihe Palace so that everyone had equal opportunities. As soon as Qin Zhao came, Xiao Ce was directly abducted by Qin Zhao. Why didn't everyone hate Qin Zhao?

Qin Zhao was taken out of the Cihe Palace by Xiao Ce. She wanted to explain to Xiao Ce: "I and King An are not like the Queen Mother said..."

Xiao Ce slowed down, looked at Qin Zhao and said, "It's the mother who deliberately made things difficult for you, you can't betray me."

Qin Zhao was dumbfounded for a while.

She knew how stingy Xiao Ce was, and because of this, she was worried that Xiao Ce would believe Empress Dowager Guo's deliberate provocation.

"It seems that I shouldn't come here to celebrate my birthday." Qin Zhao was also in a low mood: "Today is the Empress Dowager's birthday, and the emperor should spend more time with the Empress Dowager. I have already given the birthday gifts, so I will go back to Jinyang Palace first."

"It's okay, I'll take you back first." Xiao Ce rubbed Qin Zhao's eyebrows: "Don't be unhappy, you are smart and open-minded. You have done an excellent job on an occasion like today."

Having known Qin Zhao for such a long time, he understands her temperament to some extent. If she doesn't like someone, she will definitely say no. The only thing she did was to make things difficult for her mother, she repeatedly gave in, all that was considered was his feelings.

It was the mother's birthday today. Qin Zhao knew that coming over to give gifts would be harassed by the mother, but she still came.

"Does the emperor think I'm smart?" Qin Zhao was a little surprised that Xiao Ce gave him such a high evaluation.

Usually he was always picking on her thorns, but today was the first time he heard him praise her so frankly.

"You are the most special woman I have ever seen." Xiao Ce rubbed Qin Zhao's head and asked Qin Zhao to sit with him.

Qin Zhao suddenly felt very at ease.

In the past, she always felt that she was a little unworthy of Xiao Ce. She was a second marriage, and he was the ruler of a country. Many times she felt that she was inferior to him in terms of identity.

In addition, he is perfect, but her temperament has many flaws.

Hearing him praise her like this today, she felt that she was also an excellent woman, and standing with him might be what the world calls a talented woman.

Back at Jinyang Palace, Qin Zhao swept away her previous depression, and she smiled brightly and said, "The emperor will accompany the empress dowager on her birthday. I'll go back first."

Xiao Ce nodded slightly: "I'm here to accompany you for dinner at night."

Qin Zhao agreed with a smile and watched the imperial team go away.

Baozhu said from the side: "Although there was a little accident, it went well. The emperor also believes in the girl, and the girl should not think about it."

Qin Zhao felt that what she said made sense: "I always felt that the emperor was stingy and didn't believe me, but at a critical moment, the emperor gave me the greatest support and trust."

This made her feel at ease.

Baozhu remembered the scene of the Queen Mother Guo throwing dirty water on the girl, her face darkened: "The Queen Mother even said that in public, the girl doesn't need to tolerate it again and again, maybe she can think of a way to get rid of it..."

"Baozhu, stop." Qin Zhao shouted: "This kind of words can't be mentioned again in the future."

Baozhu said softly, "Does the girl really plan to do nothing?"

The girl's forbearance did not stop the Queen Mother Guo, but intensified.

Qin Zhao's expression was solemn: "Do you think that if I attacked that person, the emperor will still treat me like he is now?"

No matter what, the Queen Mother Guo is also Xiao Ce's biological mother. On the surface, Xiao Ce doesn't seem to be close to anyone, and seems to be a little distant from Empress Dowager Guo, but every time Empress Dowager Guo makes a move, Xiao Ce is patient.

There is no reason for it, Empress Dowager Guo is Xiao Ce's mother. As a son, Xiao Ce can't do anything to his mother. This is morality and filial piety.

Pearl was dumbfounded for a moment.

She knew what the girl was saying.

The emperor is now good to the girl, that is because the girl did not do anything that touches the emperor's bottom line. But Empress Dowager Guo's identity is there, so when Empress Dowager Guo intensifies, the girl doesn't do anything.

"In short, this kind of thing can't be mentioned again in the future." Qin Zhao solemnly confessed.

The orb immediately responded.

Qin Zhao knew that Baozhu was prudent, and since Baozhu listened to her, she would not ignore her orders.

As for Empress Dowager Guo, she always felt that there was a high probability that she would repeat the path of her previous life. She just doesn't know how the Empress Dowager Guo died in the end. Her greatest respect for Xiao Ce is not to deal with the Empress Dowager Guo personally and let Xiao Ce disappoint her.

Otherwise, when Princess Yongning asked her to join forces, she could not resist.

Since she rejected the proposal of Princess Yongning at the beginning, she will not regret it today.

When Xiao Ce returned to the Cihe Palace, the atmosphere seemed to be alive. There was nothing wrong with Empress Dowager Guo and Xiao Ce, but Wu Xirou was close enough to see that there was a gap between Empress Dowager Guo and Xiao Ce.

If it wasn't for Empress Dowager Guo's birthday today, Xiao Ce wouldn't come back.

She also knew Xiao Ce's difficulties. One is Xiao Ce's biological mother, and the other is Xiao Ce's favorite woman. Both women are people that Xiao Ce values, but they cannot coexist peacefully.

As a result, Xiao Ce had to balance the relationship between Empress Dowager Guo and Qin Zhao.

Xiao Ce got up and left the Cihe Palace in the evening. Wu Xirou saw this and also stood up and followed Xiao Ce.

Seeing this scene, Queen Mother Guo secretly praised Wu Xirou for knowing how to seize the opportunity.

Wu Xirou followed Xiao Ce out of the Cihe Palace, and after a long hesitation, she said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, everything will be fine. The Empress Dowager has misunderstood Sister Qin temporarily. I believe that in time, the Empress Dowager will be able to see it. Sister Qin is good."

As a woman, she also thinks that Qin Zhao is very good, otherwise a man like Xiao Ce would not be easily attracted to a woman.

Qin Zhao is not only beautiful, but also open-minded and talented. The most important thing is that Qin Zhao can make Xiao Ce happy, which is Qin Zhao's greatest ability.
