Imperial Plot - C271 fingering
When Zhong Miao Yi returned, it was already very late. The bell had been waiting for a while, but now, she still had not seen anyone return.
When he returned, Zhong Miao Yi’s face was calm, but Ah Jiu’s expression was as if he had just eaten sh * t.
Puzzled, Bell went forward: “Aunt Ah Jiu, what’s going on? Why did you come back so late?
Ah Jiu glanced at Zhong Miao Yi and said softly, “Let’s talk inside.”
She told the bell to prepare the water needed for washing up and waited upon Zhong Miao Yi to take off all the jewelry on her head and then change her clothes.
Zhong Miao Yi still did not have much of a reaction. She panicked and asked: “Master, what if Imperial Consort X speaks nonsense tomorrow?”
The Zhong Miao Yi laughed and looked at herself in the mirror, “You know, I have already experienced too many of these, Su Zeyi will not believe it.”
In private, the Zhong Miao Yi still called him Su Zeyi out of habit. At the beginning, the Ah Jiu even reminded him a little, but after that, he gave up.
“But …” The Ah Jiu knew that the Zhong Miao Yi had experienced a lot of these things, but they were no longer in the Su Family. There were a lot of things that Su Zeyi had to take care of.
Zhong Miao Yi didn’t want to think too much into it. She waved her hand, she was too tired and just happened to come in with hot water from a bell.
Ah Jiu pulled the bell and left. When the two of them walked a distance away from Zhong Miao Yi’s room, Ah Jiu said: “Imperial Consort X fell down.”
Bell was stunned for a moment. “What’s the matter?”
Ah Jiu shook his head: “It’s alright, master is kind. Seeing that her servants didn’t have any ideas, he went to help them, but who knew that this child was fine?
After hearing this, Bell became even angrier, anxious, “How can there be such a person? Aren’t the Empress angry? Let’s go and tell the emperor so that she doesn’t sue first and wrongly accuse our Empress! ”
Ah Jiu pulled the bell and sighed: “Don’t go, miss, sit down, listen to me, our master is in a very difficult situation right now. Imperial Consort X has a pregnancy, she’s weak, no matter what, at least the empress dowager is protecting the Imperial Consort X, this matter doesn’t make much sense, master is definitely going to suffer a loss, just now I asked master, master also said that the emperor will believe her.”
“Of course the emperor believes that, but if this group of people makes a ruckus, the esteemed Empress will still suffer grievances.” “I came to the palace to help the Empress, but I couldn’t do anything to help her. Aunt Ah Jiu, why don’t you tell me? Why can’t the Emperor protect the Empress? ”
The Ah Jiu sighed and patted Bell’s shoulder, “The Emperor has no choice but to do this, and there’s no way to avoid it if it happens. Master already has his own plans, if Imperial Consort X really bites back, we will remember this, and when the time comes, we can pull its teeth out.”
Ah Jiu had followed Zhong Miao Yi for a long time, so he knew Zhong Miao Yi’s personality.
Now, the others were all talking about it. Even if Su Zeyi wanted to protect the Zhong Miao Yi, he would definitely need evidence to convince the empress dowager and the Zhou family.
By the time she woke up on the second day, it was already late in the morning. Zhong Miao Yi had been really tired recently and she didn’t know why, but no matter how much she slept, she just couldn’t sleep enough.
Now that he had eaten breakfast, Zhong Miao Yi wanted to see the both of them together. Zhong Jiming had grown up quite a bit, and after almost three months of being a child, she was smiling merrily everyday without any worries.
When Bao’er, who was by the empress’s side, came to invite Zhong Miao Yi, Zhong Miao Yi was very indifferent. She had expected this to happen.
No matter if it was her Zhong Miao Yi doing it, Zhou Xu would still suspect the Zhong Miao Yi. When the time came, even if it was not her doing it, she could still use a word of fear and panic to cover it up.
If he did not even use such a good opportunity, then he would no longer be Zhou Xuan. Who knows if they can investigate it clearly?
Seeing Bao`er, Li Ling’er protected Zhong Miao Yi behind her, “Empress, let me and Aunt Ah Jiu accompany you.”
Zhong Miao Yi looked at Ling Zhong and nodded his head: “Alright, let’s go together.”
When they arrived at Zhou Xu Palace, Zhou Xu was lying on the bed, puffing and crying. The empress had specially rushed over to visit her, and the events of the previous night had truly shocked everyone.
Before the Zhong Miao Yi entered, he asked a question, “Did you go to ask the Emperor?”
Bao Er didn’t know why Zhong Miao Yi asked that. Was she afraid of the Emperor’s punishment? But she still replied honestly, “The emperor and empress dowager both went to invite her, so she’ll be arriving soon.”
Zhong Miao Yi nodded. Everyone had arrived, it was going to be lively today.
“Don’t cry, you’re a person with a body. The imperial physician said you can’t have too many emotions, or the child won’t have one anymore.” Yun Mengqi tried to persuade her, but when it came to the child, she stopped crying.
Zhong Miao Yi walked in, bowed towards Yun Mengqi, and then silently looked at Zhou Xu.
Being looked down by the Zhong Miao Yi, Zhou Xu felt guilty and said softly, “Empress, chenqie is very afraid that someone wants to harm chenqie’s child.”
Yun Mengqi nodded her head: “I know.”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and stared at Zhong Miao Yi coldly, “Consort Yun, do you know your crime?”
Zhong Miao Yi did not budge, but simply stood there, “I don’t know.”
What did she do wrong?
“You still dare to argue! You deliberately went late last night to scare the Imperial Consort X, and plotted to kill the dragon embryo. Do you still want to argue?! ” Yun Mengqi roared, as if she found an outlet, and took the opportunity to vent all of her dissatisfaction.
Zhong Miao Yi laughed, and continued to look at Zhou Xu: “Then did Imperial Consort X tell the Empress who it was that sent her back? Who told you to find an imperial physician? ”
Yun Mengqi narrowed his eyes, and said softly: “Do you think that you can hide your problem just like that? Last night, only you and Imperial Consort X were present. ”
“Imperial Consort X must have fallen due to the impact from the wild cat, right?” “If I didn’t hear wrongly last night, that cat cry came from where Imperial Consort X fell. This was just an accident, I don’t know what Imperial Consort X saw fall from above, but it definitely wasn’t Chenqie. Chenqie’s face is not to the point of being able to scare people away.”
Yun Mengqi was at a loss for words, it was only after a long time did she say: “Do you have any evidence to prove that it was a wild cat that barged in?”
She indeed didn’t have any evidence, but at the same time, Zhong Miao Yi asked, “Then does the empress have any evidence to prove that it wasn’t a wild cat’s rampage?” The crimes that the Empress and Imperial Consort X want to add to, are there really no excuses for them? “
