Imperial Plot - C282 plead
Just as Bell was thinking about what she said that was wrong, and that had angered Ah Jiu, Ah Jiu turned red instead. “I just came to the palace and I don’t understand many things, I’ll have to trouble elder sister to remind me.”
Seeing the two of them getting along with each other as if nothing had happened, Zhong Miao Yi’s expression became much better.
In the period of time that followed, Zhong Miao Yi stayed with Zhong Jiming.
At this time, Su Zeyi was in Zhou Xu’s palace, checking to see if Zhou Xu was better.
Zhou Xu’s body was already much better than before. Su Zeyi chatted with her for a while, then wanted to take her to the empress dowager’s place for a walk.
If Su Zeyi could come, Zhou Xu would already be flattered. As for going to the empress dowager’s place, there was nothing special about it.
The two of them left the palace and slowly walked towards the empress dowager’s palace. Zhou Xu couldn’t conceal the smile on her face as she whispered, “Your Majesty, why have you come here today?”
“What is it? “You don’t want me to come?” Su Zeyi looked at Zhou Xu as he calculated other things.
“How could that be? Chenqie is just too happy. It would be even better if the Emperor came back.” Su Zeyi was stunned for a moment, when Zhou Xu laughed like this, she really looked like the Zhong Miao Yi, but it was a pity. Not after all.
If Zhong Miao Yi hadn’t been able to hold on at that time, Su Zeyi knew that he would definitely have pampered Zhou Xu. But Zhong Miao Yi was still here.
“You want me to come often?” Su Zeyi raised his eyebrows, and did not look at Zhou Xu.
“Yes.” Zhou Xu smiled bashfully, rubbing his stomach. “Children also look forward to the emperor’s frequent visits.”
Su Zeyi suddenly sighed, looking a little disappointed: “We have never liked you hiding things from us, or lying to us, do you understand?”
Zhou Xu’s heart skipped a beat, the smile on her face froze for a moment, and then she lowered her eyes slightly: “Yes, this concubine does not dare to lie to the Emperor.”
“Then tell me the truth. Is the incident that night related to my wife Yun or not?” When Su Zeyi asked this question, Zhou Xu panicked.
She didn’t know what Su Zeyi found out, but no matter what he did, she couldn’t tell him the truth at this time.
“Does the emperor not believe in chenqie?” Zhou Xu felt a little wronged. She took a deep breath and turned her head sullenly.
Su Zeyi frowned, but it was not that he did not believe it, it was just that he did not find anything, how did the Zhong Miao Yi come out? Only Zhou Xu would personally go and plead with him.
By now, Yun Mengqi should already be at the empress dowager’s place. She had promised to help, which put Su Zeyi at ease, but the safest way was to let Zhou Fu speak of it.
When she was well and the child was well and well, Her Majesty would be happy.
“It’s not that I don’t trust you.” Su Zeyi calmed Zhou Xu’s emotions and tried his best to calm her down. “Cloud Concubine is still locked up because of this, your body is now in good health, and it’s good for you to show your face in front of the empress dowager.”
Su Zeyi just wanted to lift Zhong Miao Yi’s restriction on her feet so she opened his mouth herself. Could it be that Zhou Xu could still refuse?
However, this kind of care, would only make Zhou Xu hate the Zhong Miao Yi even more.
After a moment of silence, Zhou Fu cleared his mind and smiled, “So this is what the emperor is referring to. This is what chenqie thought earlier on.”
Of course, Su Zeyi was happy that Zhou Fu could say that. He pulled Zhou Xu’s hand and said softly: “That’s good.”
Right now, the empress dowager couldn’t offend him too much, so Su Zeyi chose a gentle and roundabout way, leaving the situation to the empress dowager and himself.
When he arrived at the empress dowager’s palace, Yun Mengqi was already there.
She accompanied Empress Dowager Xi and spoke while the East Empress Dowager listened by the side. Occasionally, he would also say a few words.
Ever since they had entered the palace, the East Empress Dowager had been exceptionally quiet. She knew that she couldn’t do anything for Su Zeyi, and the only thing she could do was to not give him any trouble.
Thus, the East Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager never had any conflicts. Even if this person was once a sister of a family, with everyone fighting for so many years, the slightest bit of affection would not even be worth mentioning.
People are reckless in the face of power.
Having power was equivalent to having everything. For the sake of the imperial harem’s power, for the sake of the Zhou family’s official career, the Empress Dowager could personally kill the previous emperor and support Su Zeyi to ascend to the throne.
Su Zeyi did not want to offend a woman like his at the moment.
“The Emperor is here?” When Su Zeyi and Zhou Yu entered, Empress Dowager Xi saw them.
After Su Zeyi and Zhou Fu greeted each other, Empress Dowager Xi asked Zhou Xu to sit down and have a chat.
“Are you feeling better?” This one always misses you. ” Empress Dowager Xi asked gently. She really valued this child.
Only then did Zhou Xu’s mood lighten a little. Smiling, she said, “To reply the empress dowager, chenqie’s body has already recovered greatly. Didn’t she just come with the emperor to protect the empress dowager?”
Empress Dowager Xi nodded in satisfaction.
During this period of time, Su Zeyi was in between the Zhou sisters and the Legitimate Wife, making Empress Dowager Xi very happy.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Zeyi smiled and said, “Imperial Consort X’s body is fine now. We have asked the imperial physician.
“It’s rare for the Emperor to be so concerned about you.” The empress dowager patted the back of Zhou Xu’s hand, sighing with gratification. “You’re a good child. It’ll be hard for the empress to support the imperial harem by yourself when you have a child, just like you did for the empress.”
Zhou Xu looked at the empress dowager in pleasant surprise, but quickly covered it up. She could not help but say in an excited voice, “Yes, chenqie understands.”
Yun Mengqi instantly tightened her pupils and pulled the embroidered cloth in her hand tightly, quietly enduring.
What did Empress Dowager Xi mean?
Zhou Xu was still unborn, yet Empress Dowager Xi was already sure that this was a son? He even made Zhou Fu learn to mind the affairs of the harem. If he really gave birth to a son in the future, wouldn’t he have to help the harem?!
Yun Mengqi would never allow such a thing to happen!
Empress Dowager Xi did not notice the change in Yun Mengqi’s expression. She shifted her gaze from Zhou Xu to Su Zeyi and asked, “I heard that during this period of time, the Emperor was very generous to that kid from the Tang Family?”
Yun Mengqi rolled her eyes and looked at Su Zeyi. Su Zeyi’s face was calm as she nodded.
When Empress Dowager Xi said ‘that kid from the Tang clan’, she was probably referring to Tang Yao.
Empress Dowager Xi pursed her lips. “The Emperor is broad-minded. That’s a good thing.”
Only Empress Dowager Xi knew if these words were praise or ridicule. Su Zeyi did not take these words to heart and raised his head to look at Yun Mengqi. The two looked at each other and Su Zeyi gave him a meaningful glance.
Although he was unwilling, for Su Zeyi’s sake, he had no other choice.
