The Regent's Sweetheart

Chapter 200
"You are a member of my concubine's courtyard, and you have served my concubine with all your heart and soul for a while. My concubine hopes that you will continue to do your best in the future. If you have any difficulties, feel free to speak up."

Lin Jiaojiao's tone was as gentle as possible, she thought that Mrs. Qin's disease was part of Qin Zhi's difficulty, and now that she helped her solve this difficulty, she also hoped that Qin Zhi could confess to her.

"Niang Niang..." Qin Zhi suddenly felt that his nose was a little sour, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

His slightly parted lips hesitated to speak, and finally he simply lowered his head and said nothing.

"Qin Zhi, I have something to ask you. You were really captured by bandits that day? This bandit is not a trivial matter. I just remembered today that I need to report this matter to the Imperial Guard."

Qin Zhi raised his head and glanced at her, eyes tilted to the right, then nodded and said, "The servant was captured by bandits."

He said it with some certainty, as if he didn't want to confess anything to her.

She had no choice but to express: "Qin Zhi, I heard that you left the house today?"

As soon as these words came out, Qin Zhi's face froze, and then he lowered his head even lower, and said: "Your Majesty, this servant wants to go back to see A Niang, but I came back because I didn't see her, and I was worried about A Niang's whereabouts. What the empress said, the servants will feel at ease."

Then he paused for a moment and continued: "The servant girl broke the rules by going out of the house without permission, and I ask the empress to punish her."

Hearing Qin Zhi's remarks, she was silent for a while, then smiled with her lips curled up, waved her hand and said, "My princess knows, you can go down first, and let Qingtao take you to see your mother later."

"Thank you, ma'am." Qin Zhi saluted her again, and felt a little more relaxed when he got up.

As soon as Qin Zhi left, the room became even quieter.

She looked at the direction Qin Zhi was leaving, lightly pressed her index finger on her temple and thought about it, Qin Zhi was unwilling to tell the truth, either because of other things, or because she was worried that she would be punished if she told the truth.

From the beginning to the end, Qin Zhi was thinking about how to hide it from her.

Boom, boom, boom.

"Princess, slave girl Qingtao."

Hearing Qingtao's voice, she recovered from her own thoughts and said, "Come in."

With a creak~ Qingtao pushed the door open and came in, closed the door, walked up to her, and bowed respectfully under her gaze.

"Have you found anything?"

Qingtao said: "Go back to Wangfei, Qin Zhi should have brought that thing with him, there is nothing abnormal in the room."

"What could be the thing wrapped in paper?" She asked Qingtao half-thoughtfully.

Qingtao thought about it seriously, and said, "I'm not sure about this, but the thing that can be pressed into the brick is probably the medicine powder."

"Where did Qin Zhi go in the mansion these days?"

"Back to the princess, Qin Zhi went to the kitchen to get some snacks yesterday, but the servants checked and found that there was no problem with the snacks."

"Kitchen?" She thought about it, but decided to ask Thirteen.

Not long after, Shisan called the shadow guard who had been monitoring Qin Zhi to her. This outfit was a bit worse than Shisan's.

However, it was the same black iron face, but the jet black outfit he was wearing didn't have any lines.

She said: "Think about it carefully, what did Qin Zhi do when he went to the kitchen?"

"Returning to the princess, when Miss Qin Zhi arrived at the kitchen, she waited in the yard to get some snacks. After the people in the kitchen handed over the snacks to Miss Qin Zhi, Miss Qin Zhi was about to leave, but happened to bump into a young man delivering food. The snacks were scattered all over the floor, and the two of them didn't meet much, so Miss Qin Zhi took a new one afterward."

Food delivery?
If there is something wrong with the food delivery person, wouldn't it be better to give Qin Zhi something directly?Why did Qin Zhi go to the market to get it?
How did Qin Zhi know that there was something to fetch in the marketplace?
It seems that during the days when Qin Zhi disappeared, many things happened.
