Chapter 665 Frightened

   Compared with the turbulent dark tide in the harem, the interior of Jinyang Palace is much calmer.

   Qin Zhao slept until dawn, and the first thing she did when she woke up was to ask if there was any trace of Seth in the palace, and Baoyu gave her no reply.

   She felt that it would be more direct to ask Xiao Ce about this matter. After breakfast, she went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to inquire about the news.

   Qiushui knew that she was here and reported the matter to Xiao Ce as soon as possible.

   Xiao Ce also didn't like her going to Xinuan Pavilion, because courtiers often came and went there, and he didn't like Qin Zhao to meet Zhao Yu.

   Qin Zhao was reading a book in Sanxitang to pass the time, when she saw Xiao Ce, she immediately flew into his arms.

   Xiao Ce coughed lightly, still not used to her enthusiasm.

   He pushed her away and reminded: "There is someone outside."

   "What's the matter with someone? I'm the emperor's woman, isn't the emperor allowed to hug me?" Qin Zhao disagreed.

   She said and got into Xiao Ce's arms again.

   This time, Xiao Ce was reluctant to push her away, so he simply sat down with her, and for a while, the two were like conjoined twins, very close.

   Zhang Jixiang led the other attendants out of the stage, leaving room for the two of them to be alone.

   "Did the emperor see that person?" Qin Zhao didn't talk nonsense, and directly explained his intention.

   "Li Weiwei was heavily guarded at the palace gate, saying that he never saw Seth leave the palace, nor did he see the woman who performed the dance leave yesterday. If Seth entered the palace, he should not be able to leave the palace." Xiao Ce answered truthfully.

   Qin Zhao pondered for a moment, then frowned and asked, "There are guards everywhere in the palace. If the second prince is still in the palace, where would he be? Especially during the day, when people come and go from all over the palace, where can he hide?"

   Xiao Ce felt that Qin Zhao had an idea.

  The palace is not like the outside of the palace, there are guards everywhere, if there are people who are born, they will always be found.

   Yesterday, the security was heavily guarded, and all the gates of the palace were strengthened, and no one who was born in the palace left the palace, unless it was said that Seth had left before.

"If Seth is still in the palace, then he has to eat and drink, right? A person like Sena is outstanding and very distinctive, as long as he shows his face, he will be discovered. It's better to observe after two days, let's think of a way to lure snakes out of their holes. When they are still in the palace, they will definitely eat and drink Lazarus..."

   Qin Zhao said his thoughts like this, Xiao Ce was silent for a long time after listening.

   But later he was persuaded by Qin Zhao: "Forget it, just do as you said."

   I just don’t know if Qin Zhao’s idea will work.

  After three days of martial law in the palace, it returned to normal.

   Not only did the guards at the gate of the palace return to normal, but all the guards added outside Jinyang Palace also retreated.

   As soon as these guards left, Wu Xirou came to Jinyang Palace and asked Qin Zhao what happened.

  Qin Zhao didn't mention Seth, he just said: "The emperor didn't say anything, only said normal martial law. Suddenly the guards were withdrawn again, and I was also at a loss. Does my sister know what happened in the palace?"

  Wu Xirou smiled and shook her head: "My sister doesn't even know about it, and it's even less possible for me to know. I haven't seen the emperor in the past few days, except that I have seen the emperor on the Mid-Autumn Festival night."

   "Isn't there also the Empress Wu Taifei? The Queen Mother Wu is well-informed, maybe she will know what's going on, maybe my sister can ask the Queen Mother Wu." Qin Zhao smiled.

   She said it casually, but Wu Xirou was shocked when she heard it.

  Since Xiao Ce ascended the throne, she never mentioned the concubine aunt every time she met Qin Zhao. Why this time Qin Zhao suddenly mentioned the concubine's aunt, Qin Zhao knew that Liuli had been to Changkang Palace.

   But the incident happened suddenly that night, so she made up her mind to let Liuli go to Changkang Palace. At that time, Qin Zhao also fell asleep, right?

   Qin Zhao couldn't know the prophet, how did she know that she had found the concubine's aunt?

   Thinking of this, Wu Xirou's heart was settled.

   "Since the emperor ascended the throne, I have never had a face-to-face with the aunt of the concubine. The aunt of the concubine doesn't ask about the world, and it is not easy for me to disturb the aunt of the concubine." Wu Xirou replied softly.

   Qin Zhao frowned when he heard the words: "Didn't my sister go to Changkang Palace on the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

   Wu Xirou's heart asked her this question again in midair.

At this time, she listened to Qin Zhao again: "After all, it's Mid-Autumn Festival, and on such a big reunion day, my sister will not go to Changkang Palace to walk around, it will only make people think that there is disagreement between my sister and Wu Taifei, and it is not good for my sister's reputation. ."

   Wu Xirou's heart was like being cooked in a pan by Qin Zhao. She said after a while, "What my sister said is that my sister has been taught."

  Qin Zhao saw that Wu Xirou's eyes were a little erratic, and asked with concern, "Sister looks a little absent-minded, but what happened?"

   Wu Xirou lowered her head and took a sip of tea, then opened her lips faintly: "The emperor will not tell our sisters anything, I am very worried about the emperor."

   Qin Zhao is a very shrewd person, if there is something wrong, Qin Zhao will see the clue.

   Before Qin Zhao suddenly mentioned the concubine's aunt, she was afraid that Qin Zhao was testing her, which made her have to be more careful.

"Yeah, this man has a needle in the sea, and our sisters don't know what the emperor is thinking. But the emperor has been walking around the harem recently. The queen mother should be very pleased to see it, right?" Qin Zhao changed the focus of the question in an instant. .

   The topic changed, Wu Xirou breathed a sigh of relief: "What the Empress Dowager wants, the emperor should know, and naturally the Empress Dowager will not worry too much."

   Qin Zhao smiled and chatted with Wu Xirou from all over the world.

   After sitting for about half an hour, Wu Xirou got up and left Jinyang Palace.

  Qin Zhao watched Wu Xirou walk away, his eyes distant.

   It was no accident that she mentioned Concubine Wu before, but Baoyu told her on August 16 that Liuli had been to Changkang Palace.

   As for why she knew about this, it was very simple, because she never believed in Wu Xirou. Wu Xirou's dealings with her were nothing more than hypocrisy.

   In addition, Wu Xirou cherishes feathers, and if she really wants to deal with her, if she is Wu Xirou, she will use the power of Concubine Wu in the harem. Therefore, as long as people stare at the movement of Changkang Palace, as long as Wu Xirou has contacts with Changkang Palace, she will know that Wu Xirou will move.

   It's not that she knows more about Wu Xirou, but that she thinks about things from Wu Xirou's position. She doesn't have to be a fool if she has a network like Concubine Wu.

  Although Liuli deliberately disguised herself on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but when she entered and exited Changkang Palace so late, her identity was recognized by her people. Doesn't it mean that Wu Xirou has a ghost in her heart?

   Just now when she deliberately mentioned Concubine Wu, Wu Xirou's mood was obviously a little tense, which made her more certain that her conjecture was correct, and Wu Xirou was about to take action.

   It's just that Wu Xirou did not do it herself, but asked Concubine Wu to make a move.

   When the time comes, I really want to expose the facts, and it is also Concubine Wu who is affected, not Wu Xirou.
