Imperial Plot - C295 Even-Divided Autumn Color

Zhou Xu did not return to the palace. She had already walked half the distance, yet she was still unable to catch a breath.

The empress dowager should already know that Yun Mengqi was being punished by Su Zeyi, but she didn’t know why there were still no movements.

Zhou Xu did not want to sit still and wait for death, so she decided to take a look for herself.

Even if Su Zeyi doted on the Zhong Miao Yi, but if the power of the harem fell into the hands of the Zhong Miao Yi, then the Empress Dowager would probably be the first one to refuse.

When Zhou Fu entered the empress dowager’s palace, the empress dowager was in a very bad temper.

Su Zeyi punished Yun Mengqi in such a swift and decisive manner, as if he was afraid that he would interfere. Now that the door to the Legitimate Wife was closed, he couldn’t possibly drag his identity down and knock the door open, right?

Empress Dowager Xi was trembling in anger, the power behind the harem that Su Zeyi had promised before he ascended the throne seemed to be slowly being nibbled away by him.

With the rise of the Tang Clan from the previous dynasty, as well as the gradual installation of other clans, a large portion of the Zhou Clan’s rights had been divided.

The Zhou family was being replaced one by one. It wasn’t as if Empress Dowager Xi didn’t know what Su Zeyi was thinking, and the Zhou family was also more or less showing their dissatisfaction. Su Zeyi’s movements hadn’t been very big recently.

Now that there was nothing to investigate, the empress dowager stripped Yun Mengqi of her rights and shut the doors to the Legitimate Wife. Other than being angry, Empress Dowager Xi was not in a hurry to find Su Zeyi for an explanation.

From the looks of the previous confrontation, acting rashly would only put him in a passive situation. Su Zeyi was not afraid of that.

When Zhou Xu came in, Empress Dowager Xi was so angry that she threw a cup at the door, which landed at Zhou Xu’s feet.

Startled, she subconsciously held on to the door frame, not stretching her head to look inside.

Empress Dowager Xi heard the commotion and asked in a low voice, “Who’s outside?”

Aunt, who was also frightened by the news, quickly replied, “Reporting to the empress dowager, the Imperial Consort X is here.”

After a moment of silence, she heard Empress Dowager Xi’s voice, which was filled with anger, say, “Let Imperial Consort X in.”

Zhou Xu’s heart thumped in her chest as she slowly entered. She first knelt down and kowtowed to the empress dowager. “Greetings to the empress dowager. May the empress dowager be at ease.”

Empress Dowager Xi’s expression didn’t change, but she still looked a little tired. Zhou Fu didn’t seem too happy when he came, but said lightly, “You know about the empress, right?”

Zhou Xu nodded. “I know. The Concubine Yun is about to make a move on the Empress. Who knows if she did it herself?”

Empress Dowager Xi took a deep breath and sat up straight. “If Your Majesty trusts her, she can do as she pleases. What can I do?”

Zhou Yu was not worried about what would happen to Yun Mengqi, she was more concerned that the power to control the harem would fall into the hands of the Zhong Miao Yi.

Zhou Xu leaned towards Empress Dowager Xi and whispered, “Empress Dowager still doesn’t know?”

Empress Dowager Xi frowned. “Is there anything else?”

Zhou Xu sighed, looking as if she was hesitating as to whether she should say it or not. As expected, the Empress Dowager’s expression immediately darkened. “Quickly say it!”

“Didn’t the emperor tell the empress dowager?” Zhou Xu looked surprised. “The empress’s power has been handed over to Concubine Yun. They say that for the time being, the Yun consort is in charge of the harem.”

There was only one concubine like this within the palace, so it was understandable for Su Zeyi to have done so.

But no matter what, even if there was only one concubine, it would never be Zhong Miao Yi’s turn to monopolize the power!

Empress Dowager Xi was now truly furious. She didn’t know that Su Zeyi had actually concealed such a thing from her, and had never planned to tell her about it from the beginning?!

Right now, Su Zeyi despised her more and more for his dignity as the empress dowager. Empress Dowager Xi forced himself to calm down, several things that had happened before had already caused a barrier between her and Su Zeyi.

After she finished speaking, Zhou Xu remained silent and did not speak anymore. She knew that the Empress Dowager would definitely give her equal rights with the Zhong Miao Yi.

As expected, Empress Dowager Xi quickly came to a conclusion and asked her aunt, “Where is His Majesty now? Ask the emperor to come over. ”

Aunt glanced at Zhou Xu, nodded and left.

Empress Dowager Xi looked at Zhou Xu again. “You are a good child, this matter will naturally be discussed between This Dowager and the Emperor. Go back and rest first, once you have a body, it’ll be hard on you.”

Zhou Xu nodded and stood up to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager. Knowing that she was unduly inconvenient here, she left first.

Su Zeyi was in the middle of receiving papers from the Zhong Miao Yi, which was very pleasing to the eye as he played with Zhong Jiming on the side. When the Aunt by the Empress Dowager’s side asked Su Zeyi to go over, Su Zeyi clearly showed his annoyance.

It was obvious that she also felt disgusted with Empress Dowager Xi’s power.

Just as he was about to refuse, Zhong Miao Yi opened his mouth and said, “We should still go take a look. In the end, we have to listen to what the empress dowager has to say.

Su Zeyi remained silent for a while, put down the paper in his hand, stood up and patted Zhong Miao Yi on the shoulder: “Then wait for us, we will be back soon.”

It seemed that he was going to stay here forever.

Zhong Miao Yi smiled and nodded, she watched as Su Zeyi’s back figure disappeared, and his smile slowly faded.

He didn’t know what would happen next, but no matter what, it would definitely be detrimental to him.

“Why did the Empress let the emperor go?” With Su Zeyi gone, she would definitely hear Empress Dowager Xi slandering the Zhong Miao Yi again. At that time, who knows what might happen?

“If he doesn’t go, others will call me the owner of the fox. When the news spreads, I’m afraid that both of us will die without a burial.” Zhong Miao Yi understood that if she could not eat the fatty in one bite, the Queen would not be able to take control so easily. If she was not greedy enough and tried to swallow the elephant, she would only force herself into a dilemma.

No matter how much Empress Dowager Xi wanted to weaken it, it wouldn’t be a problem. She just needed to have a reason to do what she wanted and what she had to do was enough.

As for the rest, she didn’t have that much mental energy to care about.

“But …” The bell wanted to continue but was cut off by the Zhong Miao Yi with a raise of her hand.

“Finding someone to take on the title of working together, isn’t it good that I’m doing things in the dark?” The corner of the Zhong Miao Yi’s mouth hooked up, “Whoever wants to come out the most, Yun Mengqi should know who is the one who is coveting her power the most. When she comes out, he should be dealing with who is the one who.”
