Xiao Lingling felt a pain in her heart, and then she figured it out.
Grandpa's death is a foregone conclusion. Instead of being sad and depressed, she should cheer up.
She still has many family members to protect, and she must live up to her grandfather's dying wishes!
In an instant, her eyes became much more determined, and she stood up and helped Zhao to stand up.
"Grandma, don't worry, I won't mess around anymore! I still have a lot of family members to protect, and I will definitely work hard.
Don't worry, I will be obedient from now on and won't make you worry anymore. Don't be sad, we are here with you."
Seeing that she had come to her senses, Zhao immediately burst into laughter, held her in her arms, and finally felt at ease.
"Okay, that's right. It's not worth it for those bad guys!"
Now that the matter was resolved, everyone felt a lot more relaxed.
No one asked about the process because they knew it didn't matter.
No matter what Xiao Lingling wants to do, they all support her, so since that's the case, it shouldn't matter whether she asks or not.
It was late at night, and everyone stopped making trouble and went straight to sleep in the palace.
Xiao Lingdang deliberately slept in the same room with Zhao, and the two of them talked quietly all night.
When she woke up the next day, Xiao Lingling had returned to her heartless self.
However, while everything was going smoothly here, things were about to get turned upside down in the capital.
After Xiao Lingling left, the palace maids who had been knocked unconscious finally woke up early the next morning.
They didn't understand what was happening for a while, but when they walked into the hall and saw Qin Shuxiang lying on the ground in a disheveled state, they realized that something was wrong.
They didn't rush to make a sound, but instead quickly tried to find a way to wake the person up.
It’s a pity that Qin Shuxiang woke up, but she seemed to be a little mentally broken and directly scolded all the palace maids.
This is not the point. The point is that the Queen's decree came down that morning, and she was put in solitary confinement on a false charge.
Seeing the palace gate in front of him being closed, Qin Shuxiang felt inexplicably panicked.
She was already worried when she woke up and didn't see Shu Zhuo, and now the queen's sudden action made her even more uneasy.
She didn't even have the mind to think about the fact that Xiao Lingdang had poisoned her, because even if she was poisoned, she could still find a way to save herself, but if her affair with Shu Zhuo was ever exposed, she would be dead.
She paced around the room nervously, but still didn't dare to do anything rash.
In the imperial study, Su Daocheng stood behind the desk with a sullen face, looking at the man in black kneeling in front of him with a very cold tone.
"So did the man confess?"
"Your Majesty, that man is very stubborn. We have tried many methods, but he still refuses to confess. However, we have also found that his reaction to certain things seems unusual.
If I'm not mistaken, this person should have known Concubine Xiang long before entering the palace.
So I have already arranged for someone to go to the Qin Mansion to gather information, and I should be able to find some clues!"
Su Daocheng's face darkened. "Then continue investigating! Make sure to investigate everything thoroughly for me! Also, what are the results of the blood test?"
"The results are in. This is the statement written by Imperial Physician Wei."
The man in black took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it respectfully to Su Daocheng.
He took the letter with a stern face, and for a moment he was a little afraid to open it.
Although these two children were not his favorites, he still devoted a lot of effort to them, especially Zhaorou.
But if he opens it now and finds that the result is different from what he wants, he really doesn't know what he will do.
However, although he was hesitant, he was never a timid person and tore open the envelope directly.
There were not many words on it, so he almost glanced over it. But when he saw the result, his body couldn't help but shake.
The man in black quickly went over to support him.
Su Daocheng shook off his hand and then burst into laughter.
But those who knew him well could tell that there was no trace of laughter in that laughter, but instead it was filled with strong resentment and hatred.
"Good, good! That's really good! How dare someone be so audacious!"
He slammed his palm on the table, almost tearing the letter.
But even so, it was difficult to relieve the hatred in his heart.
More than ten years!
Qin Shuxiang had actually lied to him for more than ten years, and neither of his children was his blood!
This bitch actually dared to confuse the royal bloodline, she should be killed along with her entire clan!
But he forced himself to calm down. Now was not the right time.
Qin Zheng is still fighting in the north. If we were to attack the Qin family, it would be bad if his mercenaries rebelled.
Although Su Daocheng is not afraid, the external threats have already made him extremely anxious, so it is better not to cause too much internal unrest.
Otherwise, if internal and external troubles break out, Qingyang Kingdom will be in danger. If it really comes to that, how can he have the face to face his ancestors?
He closed his eyes and took deep breaths to suppress the rage in his heart.
After a long while, he spoke calmly, "Continue investigating! If he doesn't confess, use every possible means. But you must keep a close eye on Qin Shuxiang and don't let her leak any information."
Also, I am keeping an eye on the Qin family. If Qin Zheng gets wind of this, I will bring my head before you!"
"Yes! I'll do it right away!"
The man in black responded and disappeared without a trace in an instant. Su Daocheng also fell down on the chair, looked up at the sky, and was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
Not only that, everyone in Beijing has been feeling insecure these past two days.
Although the emperor did not lose his temper with the outside world and the news did not leak out, Su Daocheng was in a bad mood these days, his face looked extremely bad, and he got angry easily, which caused everyone in the capital to keep their tails between their legs.
He was afraid that he would accidentally offend Su Daocheng and be punished.
But some people just like to jump around. Qin Zheng is now in the capital, and Qin Shuxiang is trapped in the palace. The most comfortable people are Zhou Ya and her son.
Zhou Ya's birthday is in two days. In the past, because she was restrained by Qin Zheng, she had always been relatively low-key.
But now, no one cares about her.
Zhou Ya called the housekeeper over and said, "My wife's birthday is in three days. Please spread the news and send invitations to all the people who have been on good terms with the Qin family.
Just say that this lady is going to hold a flower viewing banquet and invite their ladies to come to her house for a chat.
In addition, please make good arrangements. This time, my birthday must be celebrated in a grand manner.
This will also open the eyes of those who used to look down on our Qin family and laugh at our Qin family!"
Butler Wu was obviously in a difficult situation. The Qin family still hadn't recovered from the donation, so how could they have the spare money to hold a banquet?
Even if it was to be done, it had to be done for his own general. To be frank, Zhou Ya was not married in a formal way, and she was not even a concubine.
If she were to have a grand ceremony, wouldn't the Qin family be laughed out loud?
But he didn't dare say this directly, as he had some understanding of this person's methods.
"Madam, it's not that we don't allow you to hold it, but the situation in the capital is tense recently, so it's not appropriate to hold a grand ceremony. How about we hold a ceremony for you later?"
Anyway, we just have to hold out until their general comes back.
