Chapter 433 The Relatives Are Gone...

Xiao Ce looked at Mulu and admired: "It seems that you have 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: "The concubine is also serious."

She felt that since she had internal strength, she would be able to use some self-defense techniques to 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?" 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, can he?

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

As she said, she is a vulgar.

"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 is that case investigated?"

She didn't seem to expect that she would jump to this question, Xiao Ce was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "The case has been closed, and 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 a palace maid can be bought with Concubine Wu's one-year salary, 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 doubtful points in this case, why did Xiao Ce say "hastily closed the case"?

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

As soon as Baozhu came in, she 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 he 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, Liang Di should not 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 Chinese 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 that she had to prepare a birthday gift for Xiao Ce, and she needed a sincere gift.

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

"Liangdi continue to embroider 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 if you wear them."

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

As of now, she doesn't know what to do.

"Don't Liang Di still have a lot of dowry? Carefully choose a valuable one to give to His Highness, that is also Liang Di's intention." Bao Zhu 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 gift suitable for His Highness."

It doesn't necessarily have to be done 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 the lady married to the master. Perhaps the lady 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 jewels are hard to find in the Daqi royal family.

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

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

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

It doesn't make sense.

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

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

Now that Liang Di suddenly asked, 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 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 Royal Highness, as well as 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 that a vicious person like Xu's lived well, how could Zhou's death be unclear, and even his family was gone? The original body is gone, and her body is occupied by her. Does that also mean one thing, the Zhou family is dead.
