Imperial Plot - C303 antecedent effect
After the eunuch left, Zhong Miao Yi said to Ah Jiu: “If you have anything good to do, you should be careful. The empress will probably be released soon, when that time comes, we should go and congratulate the Emperor.”
Ah Jiu noted that there were not many rare things in the past few days, but the things that Chang Mu Pavilion took out definitely would not be bad.
However, after Ah Jiu had observed Zhong Miao Yi for a good while, she realized that Zhong Miao Yi loved to sleep. She wondered if it was because of the cold weather.
It was the same when he had first seen Shun De, and he had clearly not been there for long. He had clearly slept until the afternoon, but Zhong Miao Yi was still tired very quickly.
He had just woken up a short while ago, and Zhong Miao Yi felt that his body was suffering from severe punishment again. He didn’t know if he was sick or not.
The Ah Jiu was very worried, wanting to find some time for the imperial physician to take a look.
Zhong Miao Yi originally thought that Yun Mengqi would be the first one to come out, but a week had passed and there were still no movements at the side of the palace.
The Zhong Miao Yi did not like to be in charge of things. Furthermore, she had been lacking in energy recently, so she did not care too much about it even if she wanted to.
In the end, there were still people who started reporting to Zhou Xu.
On the other hand, news came from the previous dynasty. Zhou Ji had successfully solved the problem of raiders and bandits that had been bothering Su Zeyi for many days.
When this news reached the harem, the happiest person was Zhou Yitong.
Zhou Ji had rendered a meritorious service in the previous dynasty, and the Zhou Family was already a great honor to him, so Zhou Yitong owed this favor to him.
Zhou Xu never thought that she would actually not be the second person to be bestowed the title of concubine. This grace, due to Zhou Ji’s meritorious service, had fortunately fallen to Zhou Yitong.
Zhou Xu was so angry that she almost exploded. When she found out that Su Zeyi had stayed the night in order to reward Zhou Yitong, she directly invited the imperial physician into the palace.
Zhong Miao Yi was also a little surprised, why is it that bandits are still running rampant now?
Zhou Ji had rendered a meritorious service, and Su Zeyi did not know what he was thinking. Fortunately, it was not Tang Yao. Otherwise, Zhong Miao Yi would have been worried for a while.
Su Zeyi had given Zhou Yitong as her concubine, and her attitude towards Zhou Yitong had changed greatly. Zhou Yitong’s sudden favor towards him caused Zhou Xu and Zhong Miao Yi to pale in comparison.
Bell liked to wander around outside, and every time she came back, she would have an ugly expression on her face.
Zhong Miao Yi did not ask her what she had heard. It must be something bad.
However, Ah Jiu would ask Zhong Lingdang what she had heard and what she had seen. Even if it was her concubine’s limitless glory, the empress dowager couldn’t favor Zhou Xu and Zhou Yitong in their contest.
“Since when has our Chang Mu Pavilion been so arrogant before? It was as if someone didn’t know she was finally favored. ” Bell cursed angrily.
Ah Jiu laughed: “Since you know that we don’t have to show off, then you should know that master is the one who is truly favored, why do you care about them?”
In this way, it made sense. Immediately, the rain turned into a cold laughter. “Aunt is right. The Empress doesn’t need to flaunt anything. The Emperor’s heart is all in Chang Mu Pavilion.”
Zhou Yitong’s crowning ceremony had been postponed because of Yun Mengqi’s restriction of movement, so Zhou Yitong did not have any objections. Comparatively speaking, this kind of information also made Zhou Xu heave a sigh of relief.
The empress dowager unexpectedly did not bring up this matter with Yun Mengqi, and he also chose to keep his mouth shut. The Legitimate Wife’s gate was closed just like that, and after a short period of time, it was closed for an entire month.
Zhong Miao Yi didn’t really care about what kind of state Yun Mengqi was in anymore. A few days ago, she loved to sleep, but these few days, she didn’t seem to be in that state again.
After Su Zeyi dealt with the problem of the raiders, he finally had time to visit the harem. However, he spent most of his time at Zhou Yitong’s place, and there were less from Chang Mu Pavilion.
On the other hand, Zhong Miao Yi did not feel anything, she had sent Shun Cheng to the entrance of Legitimate Wife to investigate, and only then did she find out that Yun Mengqi had not lost her temper.
It seemed that he had finally understood that he could only rely on himself to get out.
The Zhong Miao Yi didn’t have that kind of stand to ask Su Zeyi to release Yun Mengqi. She had lived a leisurely month, and her heart wasn’t feeling depressed at all.
However, it was easy to feel tired, so most of the matters at the palace were managed by Zhou Fu, and most of the people at the palace also knew how to find Zhou Xu.
When Su Zeyi came back to the Chang Mu Hall again, it was already dusk. He had just come out from Zhou Yitong’s place and specifically come to take a look at Zhong Miao Yi.
During this period of time, he had no choice but to take care of Zhong Miao Yi, causing Su Zeyi to feel extremely guilty. He had clearly already decided to treat her well, but there were still too many times when he could do nothing.
When Zhong Miao Yi knew that Su Zeyi had come, she was still very surprised. She put down her chopsticks and went to pick up the car, but before she even reached the door, Su Zeyi had already entered. He pulled her hand and sat back down at the table: “What are you eating for, what are you doing up?”
He had no rules, but the Zhong Miao Yi had to have rules. If someone knew, there would be rumors spreading.
“Why did the emperor come here? Why didn’t you tell me in advance? I can also wait for the emperor to eat.” After eating half of the meal, Zhong Miao Yi ran over. She didn’t know whether to eat or not, so she felt very awkward.
Su Zeyi sighed: “This year’s harvest in the Northwest is not good, it’s been a drought for a month and there’s no harvest at all. I’m going to the Heaven Altar to offer my sacrifices to the heavens, and then I’ll help the victims.
Su Zeyi had just ascended the throne and encountered so many things, if he did not handle things well, the whole world would probably be in chaos. Zhong Miao Yi knew that he still had a lot of people that she could use, and she should be able to handle them.
It’s just a matter of sacrificing the heavens. had come to discuss about Yun Mengqi with her?
“If the emperor wants to go, so does the empress.” The Zhong Miao Yi did not want to make things difficult for Su Zeyi as she had said those words herself. She was indeed too tired to deal with all sorts of things.
Su Zeyi looked at the Zhong Miao Yi apologetically, “Things were not investigated properly. The empress should not have come out, it’s just that I have already seen the empress’s remorseful heart. One day, we will give you justice for this.”
Zhong Miao Yi laughed. What she wanted was not fairness, but how was it possible for Su Zeyi to find justice in everything.
But since Su Zeyi could do it like this, it was already possible. Even if he did not loosen his mouth, Empress Dowager Xi would definitely ask for more people. Yun Mengqi would definitely not be able to keep him locked up, it would be better for him to be a good person so that Su Zeyi could feel even more guilty.
This was also the only way that she and Zhong Jiming could be safer.
