After the Divorce, I Was Spoiled By the Prince

   Chapter 1219 Critically ill

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

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

   Now it is rumored that 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 matter spreads to the public, it will definitely become the talk of the common people after dinner, 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.

   Just facing the murderer who was going to kill her, she couldn'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, but today Shang is too ruthless. That is the mother of the Holy Lord. His biological mother is critically ill, but he is still trapped in the Palace of Compassion and can't 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 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 after hearing this, he knew that the matter was getting worse and worse.

   There may even be a force behind the rumors.

   is also possible, the result of several forces working together.

   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 his best not to let all kinds of disturbing voices enter the main hall, but Qin Zhao himself had a good hearing, so he knew what he should know.

   After a few days, 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.

  Guo saw that 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 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 doesn't care about anyone. The reason why she put Empress Dowager Guo under house arrest is 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 let the Empress Dowager Guo easily.

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

   But, "I'd like to invite your niece for a trip, and persuade the emperor to focus on the overall situation at the moment—"

   "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 had a stalk in his heart, knowing that there was nothing wrong with the concubine.

"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 dejectedly.

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

   But people have no foresight, and there must be near-term worries. She always knew that Xiao Yi was not as indifferent to the world as she seemed on the surface, and she also knew that Xiao Yi was eyeing the throne.

  If the news this time was released by Xiao Yi, not because of the disputes between women in the harem, and she also knew that Xiao Yi pretended to be unconscious for many years, but in fact he was waiting for 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 noble concubine has always been a sensible woman, so the emperor is different to the noble concubine.

  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.

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

   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 the broken things carefully, you can hardly remember them.

   She stepped forward and saluted 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 him, only to see the words dragon flying and phoenix dancing, vigorous and powerful, and there was a hint of suaveness.

   A little person like her, who was ignorant before, and who only started working 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 wrote decisively and did not seem to be hesitant.

   In other words, didn't the serious illness of the Queen Mother 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 see people's words with 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 pen that she used today was a bit nondescript, and she couldn'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.

   I always knew that she was born beautiful, but at this moment, Qiao Shengsheng was standing beside him with a slight smile on the corner of her lips, but it also made him take a second look.
