Xiao Ce left the Jinyang Palace and boarded the chariot. Wu Xirou was reluctant to bear Xiao Ce and wanted to follow up with the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but she also knew that she could no longer pester Xiao Ce tonight.

She knew the reason for stopping in moderation, and also knew that haste is not enough, so she stopped and said, "The emperor should rest early, and the concubine will send the emperor respectfully."

Xiao Ce didn't answer, and didn't look at Wu Xirou, the imperial team just disappeared at the end of the night.

When the imperial team went far, Wu Xirou boarded the chariot with a heavy heart.

She came to Jinyang Palace today, and she found that the situation was not as optimistic as she thought.

As soon as Xiao Ce met Qin Zhao, all his attention was drawn to Qin Zhao, even though the two were in a tit-for-tat state. She was in Jinyang Palace just now, and there was absolutely no room for her to interject.

And the most important point is that even if Qin Zhao does not have Xiao Ce's favor, when facing Xiao Ce, Qin Zhao still has enough confidence, and this confidence may come from the small atom.

This time, Qin Zhao was able to get out of the cold palace smoothly, and it was also thanks to the little atom, right?

Because of the little atom, Xiao Ce and Qin Zhao have a deep bond. In this regard, Qin Zhao won her over.

If she can't serve in a short period of time, her advantages will become less and less. Maybe one day, Qin Zhao will surpass her again. This is definitely not what she wants to see.

She still has to find a way to go to bed as soon as possible...

After returning to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Xiao Ce's thoughts still revolved around Qin Zhao.

He remembered that Qin Zhao really liked reading books, but he didn't know how to play chess. Why did Qin Zhao's chess skills suddenly become so good? He actually lost to Qin Zhao twice.

Zhang Jixiang saw that his master was not in a good mood. He guessed that it had something to do with Qin Zhao, so he comforted: "It's a big deal, the emperor will go to the concubine to play chess tomorrow, the concubine and the concubine are just lucky these two days..."

"Open your eyes and talk nonsense!" Xiao Ce interrupted Zhang Jixiang's self-righteousness.

Although losing to Qin Zhao is not a glorious thing, he must admit that Qin Zhao's chess skills are indeed excellent, and this is a fact.

"What the emperor said is." Zhang Jixiang didn't dare to speak any more and stepped aside to wait on him.

After taking a bath, Xiao Ce lay on the bed and suddenly asked, "Why haven't you seen your concubine come to pester me recently?"

Zhang Jixiang was stunned for a moment, "The noble concubine never came to pester the emperor, and even the noble concubine of the Yangxin Palace rarely came."

The noble concubine has never been a woman who is obsessed with others.

"How is that possible?!" Xiao Ce sat up from the dragon bed: "How could she not come to pester me?"

Zhang Jixiang was speechless for a while.

It is a fact that the imperial concubine does not come to pester the emperor, why does the emperor decide that the imperial concubine is a woman who is pestering?

Seeing Zhang Jixiang's shocked expression, Xiao Ce silently lay back on the bed.

Are those just his dreams, not facts?

But he always felt that those dreams were too real, like things that had really happened, and his initial impression of Qin Zhao was also very poor.

That night, Qin Zhao fell into Xiao Ce's dream again, and entangled Xiao Ce in the dream all night.

When Zhang Jixiang served Xiao Ce changing clothes, he obviously felt that Xiao Ce had not slept well and was in a bad mood.

Just knowing that Qiu was not stable enough when he was holding the water basin, there were splashes of water on Xiao Ce's dragon sleeves, Xiao Ce glanced over with a sharp eye, and was frightened that Qiu immediately fell to his knees: "Your Majesty forgive me!"

"Bring thirty torture sticks yourself!" Xiao Ce ordered coldly, his eyes slightly cold.

Zhiqiu's face was pale, and he was dragged down like this. He was subjected to thirty torture sticks, and only half his life was left.

At the time of the imperial court, Xiao Ce was even more resolute, punishing two civil servants and one military officer in a row, making everyone tremble with fear, fearing that the next unfortunate ghost would be himself.

After waiting for the court to disperse, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

An Shangshu pulled Zhao Yu to complain: "The emperor is getting more and more ruthless."

"As long as you do your job well and serve the country and the people, the emperor will not punish him for no reason." Zhao Yu was calm.

He thought it was a good thing.

In the past, although Xiao Ce couldn't find faults in his actions, he was still a little too kind. Now Long Wei is illustrious. Whoever dares to neglect his duties will either take off the black gauze cap or be severely punished. In the future, no one will dare to violate the yin and yang.

This is a good thing for the country and the people, and he is happy to see Xiao Ce's changes.

An Shangshu touched his nose in front of Zhao Yu, and only said that Zhao Yu was flattering.

Knowing the autumn experience, the many palaces and servants in the Hall of Mental Cultivation were even more trembling and did not dare to make mistakes.

Today is no different than in the past. The current emperor is like the reincarnation of King Yama. Even a first-class palace servant like Zhiqiu said that he was tortured by a cane, and only half his life was left, let alone other people?

Of course, what happened in the Hall of Mental Cultivation also entered Wu Xirou's ears. She only stepped into the Hall of Mental Cultivation in the evening, and found that the atmosphere was more solemn than before.

After seeing Xiao Ce, she couldn't help but persuade: "The emperor should not be too strict, so as not to scare everyone."

"Is Concubine Xian teaching me to do things?!" Xiao Ce glanced coldly at Wu Xirou and asked without pretense.

The blood on Wu Xirou's face quickly drained, and she said, "I dare not."

"There are national laws and family rules. If you do something wrong, you must be punished. No one can make an exception." Xiao Ce waved his hand, his expression condensed: "Go back, I don't want to see you at this moment."

Wu Xirou didn't expect that she would be so disgusted by Xiao Ce after she said one more sentence. She regretted it, but she had no choice: "It's the concubine who talked a lot, the concubine apologized to the emperor, and the concubine retire."

She turned around sadly, hoping that Xiao Ce could stop her.

Unfortunately, she left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and Xiao Ce did not chase after her.

She thought that her relationship with Xiao Ce was different, and she thought that Xiao Ce treated her differently, but did she think too much?

Seeing this, Zhang Jixiang suggested, "Does the emperor want to go to Jinyang Palace for dinner? By the way, let's go to the next game with the concubine."

As soon as he heard "Jinyang Palace", Xiao Ce thought of Qin Zhao, a woman, and became in a bad mood: "Zhang Jixiang, do you want to arrange a place for me?"

Zhang Jixiang's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly knelt down to the ground: "The slave just wants to share the emperor's worries and relieve his troubles, and dare not overstep the robe."

Xiao Ce coldly glanced at Zhang Jixiang, but did not deal with Zhang Jixiang.

Zhang Jixiang's back was covered in cold sweat, and he was just glad that he escaped. He got up from the ground, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and exhaled lightly.

In the future, he will no longer dare to make random suggestions. The current emperor is moody, and he is really afraid that one day he will lose his head because he talks too much.

That night, Xiao Ce did not go to Jinyang Palace.

Qin Zhao, who lived in the main hall, was calm, and felt that it would be easier if Xiao Ce didn't come, and she was relieved. Xiao Ce in the previous life was not a good person. If you accidentally provoke Xiao Ce, it is likely to be a fatal event.

Anya, who lived in the west side hall of Jinyang Palace, was disappointed. After confirming again and again, she was finally willing to face the fact that Xiao Ce would not come to Jinyang Palace today.
