Imperial Plot - C302 It's not that simple
Su Zeyi secretly sent people to check on why there was such a problem with the clothes Yun Mengqi sent over.
Since the empress dowager had said that they should investigate, Su Zeyi let the people below investigate.
If Yun Mengqi was wronged like last time, she would probably have to compensate properly.
The person who was sent to investigate was Su Zeyi’s trusted aide, but three days had passed and he still did not seem to have any idea what had happened.
Su Zeyi was not in a hurry, although he had not reached the bottom of the matter, but Su Zeyi knew that Zhou Xu was already growing up alone in the harem.
Since the Zhong Miao Yi did not have any intentions in this regard, Su Zeyi did not force it. He only passed the items to the Eternal Night Pavilion like flowing water, the people of the harem had already become spirited, how could they not know who the emperor valued more?
Therefore, although Zhou Xu did her best to establish her prestige, most of the decisions were still in the hands of the Zhong Miao Yi.
Zhou Fu was infuriated, this way, it was as if he had agreed with Zhou Yitong’s words, offending someone and not achieving the desired result, really made him angry.
She had guessed long ago that Zhou Xu would have such an outcome. Whoever went against the Zhong Miao Yi would not have a good ending, and on this point, Zhou Yitong had a lot of experience and remembered this point.
Therefore, she chose to turn into a hand in the dark, allowing them to kill each other.
Stimulating Zhou Xu was one thing, but framing Yun Mengqi to harm Zhong Jiming was another.
Right now, she was just a spectator. Until the last moment, no one knew whether they would win or lose. If they wanted to make a name for themselves, how could everyone use the same method?
Therefore, Zhou Yitong had changed to the safest way, which was not to believe that she could not topple one of them.
In the past few days, Zhou Yitong had lived a leisurely life. Su Zeyi did not step into the harem, he did not go to anyone’s place, and Zhou Xu did not earn any benefits from using all of his effort, causing Zhou Yitong to feel extremely satisfied in her heart.
How dare a little girl like her curse at her?!
Zhou Yitong’s eyes flashed with a dangerous light, her heart had already started to plan the child in Zhou Xu’s womb.
But she was not in a hurry to make her move, this matter was pushed to Zhong Miao Yi and she needed to plan carefully, Zhong Miao Yi was not Yun Mengqi, and would not frame him that easily.
The thing that Zhou Yitong was the most helpless of all was that Zhou Yijin still could not forget her old friend. No matter what, she would not come into contact with Su Zeyi.
However, this was also a good thing for Zhou Yitong. At least the friendship between the two sisters would not change because of this.
Maybe the two of them had the same thoughts, and they hoped that the one being favored was Zhou Yitong.
It was a pity that Su Zeyi’s heart had already been changed by the Zhong Miao Yi. If it was before, for political gain, Su Zeyi would definitely treat everyone in the harem equally.
Now. Unless the Zhong Miao Yi died, no one would be able to obtain even a tiny bit of the Zhong Miao Yi’s position in Su Zeyi’s heart.
Zhou Yitong had long ago stopped hoping that she could replace the Zhong Miao Yi. What she wanted to do now was to get rid of all the people in the palace who were obstructing her. Without favors and power, there was one thing that could make her struggle for it.
Su Zeyi did not manage to find anything, but he had a nagging feeling that this was a bit weird. It wasn’t that Yun Mengqi did such a weird thing, but Bao Er had personally given this to him.
Su Zeyi did not believe it, but this girl, Bao Er, definitely did not know of this matter.
Thus, there were most likely spies in Legitimate Wife.
But who was this spy, and who had planted him, and there was no sign of him.
Not only Su Zeyi, even Bao Er himself couldn’t find anything wrong with it. Yun Mengqi was about to go crazy from anger due to this, but without brows, she knew that it was strange that the people of the Legitimate Wife would be able to match the words they said after being interrogated repeatedly.
To the extent that Yun Mengqi was even more determined to use Zhong Miao Yi’s way of saying that she wanted to catch the thief, it was obvious that Zhong Miao Yi was using this method to frame him.
She was only relying on Su Zeyi to trust her!
Su Zeyi was busy with matters of the imperial court, so he did not have much energy and time to manage these trivial matters of the imperial harem. Most likely, it was because Zhong Jiming was not injured, so the Zhong Miao Yi did not plan to go into depth on this matter.
But this matter was also a thorn in the Zhong Miao Yi’s heart. When she went to see Yun Mengqi that day, and talked about how she poisoned him before and how her clothes were, Yun Mengqi’s reaction and expression were completely different.
Therefore, Zhong Miao Yi was more willing to side with him. This matter was not done by Yun Mengqi, she must have been framed.
But who was the mastermind behind this? And how did he do it? Zhong Miao Yi was not able to figure it out.
If there was no way to uncover this person, no one would know what she would do next.
Su Zeyi had sent someone to bring a message to the Zhong Miao Yi, but he did not manage to find out anything about this matter. Something was very wrong, regardless of whether it was Yun Mengqi’s doing, there had to be a reason behind it.
The Zhong Miao Yi knew that Su Zeyi wanted to give the Empress Dowager an explanation. If he couldn’t give the Empress Dowager an explanation, Yun Mengqi wouldn’t be locked away for too long.
Su Zeyi told her in advance probably to let the Zhong Miao Yi be mentally prepared so that he wouldn’t blame him when the time came.
He had tried his best, but the laws of the country, the rules of the family, and no real evidence. No one could truly condemn a country’s mother, or else the entire harem would be thrown into chaos.
Zhong Miao Yi did not have any objections, she did not want to rely on this matter to affect Yun Mengqi for the rest of her life, so it was good that she came out, so Zhou Xu’s glorious achievements would probably reach Yun Mengqi’s ears soon.
Yun Mengqi’s character would definitely not allow even a little bit of other people to steal from her. Zhong Miao Yi had been hated by her for so many years, and now there was another reason to it, it could be considered as sharing some of her burden.
“If you go back to the Emperor, tell him that I already know, so the Emperor doesn’t have to take me too seriously and what to do. “Just do it.” Zhong Miao Yi said to her father-in-law who came to deliver the message.
When the eunuch heard Zhong Miao Yi speak like this, he heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that the Emperor cared about his mistress, but was afraid that she would not show mercy to him.
Now that he thought about it, Lady Yunpin was quite a reasonable person.
