After the Divorce, I Was Spoiled By the Prince

   Chapter 433 The relatives are gone...

  Xiao Ce looked at his eyes and admired: "It seems that he has studied hard. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

   Qin Zhao only wanted to laugh when she heard the words, and she would be rewarded for studying hard.

   She thought about it seriously before saying, "Why don't you give me a set of martial arts secrets that have been lost for a long time in the world!"

   Xiao Ce only said that she was joking, and rewarded her with a burst of chestnuts: "Gu is serious!"

   Qin Zhao lowered his face: "My concubine is also serious."

   She felt that since she had internal strength, she would be able to use a little self-defense, and she could save her life at critical moments. Recently, she has learned some simple defensive moves from Baozhu. If she is given a set of martial arts secrets, she may become a martial arts master. Of course, her real purpose is to protect herself and the people she cares about in times of crisis.

   "You are a woman, you are usually squeamish, what are you doing with a sword and a gun?" Xiao Ce disagreed.

Qin Zhao disagreed with Xiao Ce's point of view: "Where is the concubine so squeamish? Is there a woman who lives more rough than the concubine in this East Palace? Forget it, Your Highness rewards the concubine with a lot of gold and silver jewelry, the concubine is a layman. , I like golden treasures."

   So he can't refuse, right?

  Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao helplessly: "You really..." stubborn.

   As she said, she is a layman.

   "It was His Highness who asked the concubine what he wanted, and the concubine told the truth, and His Highness had such an expression again, that the concubine should not be rewarded, okay?" Qin Zhao said angrily.

   After a while, Xiao Ce sighed: "Since Gu has opened his mouth, he will agree to your request."

   Qin Zhao felt that Xiao Ce's reward was unwilling, but she changed the subject wisely: "How did the investigation of that case go?"

She didn't seem to expect that she would jump to this question, Xiao Ce was stunned for a moment before answering: "The case has been closed, all the evidence shows that it was the poison of Concubine Wu. But she is a concubine, and the emperor is now in a state of ill health and lonely. I can't take this matter to bother my father, so I can only close the case hastily, and finally fined Concubine Wu Guifei a year's salary."

   "The two lives of the palace maid can be bought with one year's salary of Concubine Wu, which is also ironic." Qin Zhao blurted out.

  Just like that, the atmosphere in the study suddenly cooled down.

   "I still have something to do, I'll go back first, I'll see you next time." After Xiao Ce finished speaking, he walked away without looking back.

   Qin Zhao looked at Xiao Ce's back, thoughtful.

   There are so many doubts in this case, why did Xiao Ce just say "hastily close the case"?

   Is it because Xiao Ce doesn't want to continue the investigation?

As soon as   Baozhu came in, he saw Qin Zhao's solemn expression, "Did Fang Cailiangdi make trouble with His Highness again?"

Qin Zhao shook his head: "His Royal Highness hides everything in his heart, and sometimes you can't quarrel with him. I always feel that His Royal Highness has a similar temperament to me and likes to get to the bottom of things when things go wrong, but maybe it's just my delusion. ."

Baozhu didn't know what was going on, so she silently handed Qin Zhao a cup of hot tea: "If you encounter something you can't figure out, don't think about it. His Royal Highness's identity is not ordinary, and he has to take care of a wide range of things. Maybe That's why His Highness cannot do as he pleases."

   Qin Zhao felt that what Baozhu said made sense.

She took a sip of tea and looked at the gloomy sky outside the window: "In the blink of an eye, it will be the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and in ten days it will be the New Year. There is still a month left, and it will be His Highness's twentieth birthday, but I am not even connected to His Highness's birthday. Birthday gifts are not ready."

   At that time, she clearly thought about it, she had to prepare a birthday gift for Xiao Ce, and she needed a sincere gift.

   But what she does is three minutes of enthusiasm, and even such an important thing can be ignored.

   "Let's continue embroidering the sachet, it's the easiest thing." Baozhu said enthusiastically.

  Qin Zhao said helplessly, "Your Highness can't wear an embroiderer like me. Not to mention shoes, your Highness will be laughed at when you wear them out."

  Speaking of which, she made the sachet and tried the shoes, but she couldn't stand it, so she finally threw it away.

   Up to now, she doesn't know what to do.

   "Don't Liangdi still have a lot of dowry? Carefully choose a valuable one to give to His Highness, that is also Liangdi's intention." Baozhu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought this was a good idea.

   Qin Zhao's eyes lit up, "That's right, I'm going to see if my dowry has a birthday present suitable for His Royal Highness."

   doesn't have to be made by her own hands, after all, she doesn't have the talent for female celebrity. Even if she now has the golden finger of super memory, it will not save her female celebrity.

   This is the first time Qin Zhao has turned over her dowry. When she saw the dazzling array of dowries, she was overwhelmed, and for the first time felt that she was a rich man.

"These two boxes are gifts prepared by the master before Liang Di's marriage. This wooden box is said to be a box of dowry that Mrs. married to the master. Maybe Mrs. left other dowries for Liang Di, but when Liang Di got married, only This box is left." Baozhu explained Qin Zhao's confusion.

   Qin Zhao heard that it was the dowry left by the Zhou family, so he immediately left the other two boxes and rushed forward to take a look.

   "Was the mother's dowry so rich back then?" Qin Zhao was a little surprised.

   Because this box of dowry is more valuable than the two boxes prepared by Qin Shaowen, in her opinion, such rare gems are hard to find in the Daqi royal family.

   I don't know what kind of family the Zhou family is, and no one ever talks about my mother's family.

   "Baozhu, doesn't my mother have siblings? What about my grandparents, have you heard of it?" The more Qin Zhao thought about it, the more wrong he felt.

   Seeing this box of dowry left by the Zhou family, she knew that the family of Zhou family should be rich or expensive. In this case, why did she and Li Li have no family to contact her?

   This makes no sense.

   "This... the slaves only heard that the wife's family is gone, and the slaves were still young when the wife had an accident. Many things were told by the servants of the Qin family." Baozhu couldn't say why.

  Because Liangdi never asked about it, she never explained it.

   Right now, Liang Di suddenly asked, and she felt that this was unusual.

   "Then when my mother died, will there be relatives in the Zhou family to come to the funeral?" Qin Zhao asked.

   "Slave, slave maid don't know." Baozhu only felt ashamed.

Qin Zhao laughed dumbly: "It's okay, I'm just asking casually. It's been so many years, and you said that Zhou's family is not there, so far no one has been looking for relatives, so I know as you said, my relatives are not there anymore. …”

   "Liangdi and His Highness, slaves, and Baoyu and the others, and the Empress Dowager also likes Liangdi." Baozhu was afraid that Qin Zhao would be sad and hurriedly said.

   Qin Zhao thinks this is the reason.

   She just felt a little regretful, the vicious people like Xu shi lived well, why did Zhou shi die inexplicably, and even his family was gone? The original body is gone, and her body is occupied by her. Does that mean one thing, the Zhou family is dead.
