Imperial Plot - C290 back knife
Zhong Miao Yi rarely had the habit of taking a nap, but she still used the reason of it to get Chen Xi to return.
The bell and the Ah Jiu accompanied the Zhong Miao Yi. But no one spoke.
It was common for the Chang Xu Pavilion to be quiet like this. The bell did not come for a long time, and it was still a little out of sorts. When it could not resist, it would always whisper into the Ah Jiu’s ear, “Does the Empress have something on her mind?”
Ah Jiu shook his head slightly. It wasn’t really a load on his mind, the silence that he habitually showed was still much easier to serve than those people who were scheming to do something.
Bell could not get anything out of him, so he just stood there for a while before leaving. It was unknown what he was planning to do.
However, the Zhong Miao Yi didn’t normally care about her and just let her be happy. Originally, she had entered the palace to get into a cage.
The Zhong Miao Yi herself could no longer become an interesting person and had lost the motivation to explore the unknown.
As such, the only hobby of the Zhong Miao Yi was to curl up in this small world and search for peace.
Liu Ling’s age was still young, and Zhong Miao Yi was still at the same age as her bell, which was also the most lively and curious age. It was normal for bells to not get used to restraining her like this.
However, the bell did not last for a long time. Zhong Miao Yi held her head and took a short nap, until she heard the voice of the Ah Jiu inquiring: “Where did the young lady go?”
“No,” replied Bell in a low voice, “I just happened to walk around outside and run into Aunt Bao who came to give me something.”
Zhong Miao Yi suddenly sobered up. Taking a deep breath, she rubbed her sore neck and asked: “What are you guys talking about?”
This time, the Ah Jiu did not have time to ask any further questions. She brought the bell and came in, giving the bell a signal with her eyes, indicating her to speak for herself.
Bell walked closer, his eyes flashing. “Empress, the aunt Bao`er by the Empress’s side has personally come to deliver something. I said that the Empress is resting, so she put it down and left.”
“What is it?” The Zhong Miao Yi frowned. Why did Yun Mengqi gift this to her for no reason?
“It’s something that the Young Master has already identified himself as being useful with.” As Zhong Lingdang said this, she glanced at Zhong Miao Yi’s expression, “I don’t dare not accept these gifts sent by the empress.”
The Zhong Miao Yi didn’t have any intention to blame him, she only sat up straight and said: “Where’s the thing? Let me see. ”
The things that Yun Mengqi had given them were definitely not meant for Zhong Jiming to use. Naturally, Yun Mengqi was aware of this fact and she had probably put on an act to show it to Su Zeyi.
The bell called for people to present the items. They were all daily necessities, such as clothes, shoes, and a few exquisite decorations.
It didn’t seem like much.
Zhong Miao Yi reached out her hand to touch it, the material was also top-notch, when did the palace have children’s clothes? The Inner Palace would not do all this for Zhong Jiming. It was only because the Zhong Miao Yi had instructed them to do it.
“Have you checked your clothes? How could there be such a thing in the empress dowager’s palace? ” The Zhong Miao Yi felt that something was amiss. Logically speaking, it should not be like this.
“The empress made it for her child in the past. She’s always been reluctant to throw it away, and now she’s rewarded it all to the empress.”
She still has it? No wonder.
Zhong Miao Yi sighed. Speaking of children, Yun Mengqi’s children were also innocently involved. Even though she hadn’t expressed it out loud, her sadness definitely wasn’t any less than Zhong Miao Yi’s.
However, back then, Zhong Miao Yi’s situation was much worse than hers, she had always thought that Zhong Miao Yi was the one who secretly harmed her, and she would still have a child in the future. Zhong Miao Yi truly knew that Su Zeyi wanted this child’s life, the lives of her royal father and Concubine Xian.
She couldn’t take it.
“Then keep it.” The softness in Zhong Miao Yi’s heart was touched once, but was not thrown away.
It was such a pity to throw away clothes made from such good materials. Just find a good opportunity in the future and gift it back to Yun Mengqi.
Bell nodded in agreement, and who was carrying the tray went down first.
Before he even walked out of Chang Mu Pavilion, Zhong Miao Yi suddenly felt a pain and itchiness from his fingers that had just touched his clothes.
She raised her hand to take a look and saw that her fingers were actually swollen and red.
“AHH!” Zhong Miao Yi shouted and stopped Little Maid. The bell and Ah Jiu were both frightened by Zhong Miao Yi’s swollen fingers.
“Send word to the imperial physician!” Ah Jiu roared at the outside, and brought the tray over, and placed it on a plate on the table, as if he was going to open up a hole in the clothes.
“Empress.” Bell wanted to reach out to see what Zhong Miao Yi’s finger was like, but Zhong Miao Yi dodged it, shaking her head slightly.
“Don’t touch it, you are infected too.” The tiny bit of emotion in Zhong Miao Yi’s heart was instantly destroyed by reality, and her mind was in a mess.
It’s true. Unable to wait any longer to attack Chang Mu, even Su Zeyi was not willing to do so?
The Ah Jiu still had some lingering fear, so shshegot someone to bring a basin of warm water for him to soak his hand. When she placed his hand in the warm water, he felt a sharp pain, but it was quickly relieved.
If this clothes were to spread to Zhong Jiming, it would truly be fatal! How could a child endure this!
“Esteemed Empress, the empress is so vicious. This time, we’ve caught all the stolen goods. We must tell the emperor!” Bell’s heart hurt, she could not blame herself for not touching it first. If she had touched it, Zhong Miao Yi would not have been injured.
Zhong Miao Yi nodded her head. No matter what, she had to tell Su Zeyi about this matter.
Seeing Zhong Miao Yi nod her head, Ah Jiu hurriedly patted her bell, “Quickly go and request the Emperor’s help.”
The bell answered and ran out in a hurry.
“The empress being so blatant is really hateful!” Ah Jiu firmly believed that Yun Mengqi was the one who did this. She said that she had gone mad, and had gone insane.
This was something that Yun Mengqi did when she was extremely angry.
But with Bao`er at her side, it didn’t make that much sense.
Bao Er had personally delivered this to her, why would she allow Yun Mengqi to do whatever she wanted? Or could it be that Bao Er did not know that Yun Mengqi had done something to her?
As to what exactly the situation was like, he could only wait until Su Zeyi came before making a decision.
But no matter what the truth was, Yun Mengqi seemed to be unable to refute any further.
Since she made these clothes for her child, they must be very precious. No one would be able to touch them.
He looked at Zhong Miao Yi’s hand through her handkerchief and said that if it was not poison, it would only cause one’s skin to turn red and swell, the pain would be unbearable to endure. If he tried to grab onto it with all his might, his body would leave behind an irreparable mark.
“What happens to children?” Zhong Miao Yi asked.
The imperial physician withdrew the handkerchief. “Empress, children shouldn’t touch this. A child’s skin is tender and tender. If you touch this, it’ll worsen over a hundred times over than an adult’s. If you can’t hold on, you’ll die.”
