C97 imperial order

97, the imperial decree

When Su Zeyi returned, he went to see Old Mistress Su.

He told her the whole story, and Old Madam Su was shocked for a long time, but she didn't say anything.

"I can't take Yun Mengqi."

These were the first words Su Zeyi had said.

Old Madam Su almost couldn't believe her ears. She calmed her emotions and asked: "Why?!"

"The Su family cannot be controlled by the empress dowager." Su Zeyi's short sentence completely shut up Old Madam Su's mouth.

That's right, the Su family couldn't be controlled by the empress dowager.

If Yun Mengqi was really born, the empress dowager would definitely take care of him by her side. The children that the empress dowager taught could no longer be considered the true descendants of the Su Family.

There was an even more important reason that Su Zeyi did not mention.

This reason was related to the Zhong Miao Yi, and he might not say it out loud in this lifetime. He hoped that the eldest son of the Su Family would be from the Zhong Miao Yi.

He did not want Yun Mengqi to completely dominate the Su Family because he had this child, which would make life in Zhong Miao Yi even more difficult.

He knew that the Zhong Miao Yi was changing, and he could feel that she wanted to become stronger.

She already knew what she wanted, so what she was doing was also moving in that direction.

Zhong Miao Yi would probably hate him and would always blame him in this lifetime. She wouldn't even know how many changes he had made for them.

However, Su Zeyi did not care about all these. He believed that his own strength was enough to make it so that the Zhong Miao Yi would not be able to escape his grasp.

Sooner or later, they would have children, and once they had children, all of their past would be alleviated by the passage of time.

Ban Qiu was right, as long as he was good to her, he would be good to their children.

Sooner or later they would meet again.

Old Mistress Su didn't know how to evaluate Su Zeyi's actions, but she had been thinking about what the truth of the matter was.

However, the truth was hard to accept and unexpected. However, Su Zeyi was her son, how could she betray his own son for the sake of one of the empress dowager's adopted daughter?

Of course not, she could only hide this matter in her heart and pretend to know nothing with Su Zeyi.

After all, she didn't really like Yun Mengqi either.

The empress dowager's heart ached for Yun Mengqi, and she felt that Yun Mengqi had suffered in front of the Su Family. Su Zeyi's attitude of personally asking for punishment had indeed made her speechless, but it did not mean that this matter had passed away so easily.

This time, it was still the imperial aunt at the empress dowager's side who personally issued the imperial edict.

The empress dowager's intention was very simple. Yun Mengqi had no children, so he had to bring her back to the palace to relax.

Su Zeyi's hands trembled when he received the decree.

He didn't know what the empress dowager meant by taking Zhong Miao Yi away, but he had already made it clear that this matter was done accidentally by the servants.

Whether or not the empress dowager believed these words, the emperor had already approved of them.

The empress dowager was anxious to protect the calf, she couldn't believe what Su Zeyi had said at all. In the end, the empress dowager had only wanted to find a person to vent her anger on, and there were only two people that she could suspect.

Consort Xian and Zhong Miao Yi.

If the Concubine Xian was pregnant with a child and could not touch her, then the Zhong Miao Yi would never be able to escape.

This time, it was impossible for Ban Qiu to follow them into the palace.

The empress dowager had never liked her. Without concrete evidence, she might not be able to publicly punish her, but once someone entered her palace, what did she want her to do? How could other people know?

Zhong Miao Yi took a deep breath, trying her best to calm down.

Before getting off the carriage, Su Zeyi told her not to worry. He said that he would come to pick her up very soon.

Zhong Miao Yi did not hold much hope in this matter. She knew that the greater the hope, the more difficult it would be when that hope failed, so she did not hold much hope from the start.

So the only thing she could do now was to play it by ear and see what the Empress was up to.

When they arrived at the palace, because Yun Mengqi didn't have any children, the empress dowager specially sent someone to lift her up. When Zhong Miao Yi walked beside Yun Mengqi, she looked like her servant.

Yun Mengqi supported herself on the carriage as she closed her eyes to rest, before opening her mouth to speak: "Are you afraid?"

Zhong Miao Yi looked ahead: "What are you afraid of?"

Yun Mengqi scoffed, and did not say anymore, maybe in her eyes, Zhong Miao Yi really did look like she was crying.

They stopped at the palace of the Empress Dowager.

A group of palace maids came forward to help Yun Mengqi down. When Yun Mengqi raised her head and looked, her eyes were filled with tears.

Returning to this place that could be considered home to her since young, Yun Mengqi was deeply moved. Almost instantly, he felt a sense of security.

At the end of the day, she was even younger than the Zhong Miao Yi.

After all, to Yun Mengqi, having a life that was too smooth, was not a good thing either.

The two of them went in to pay their respects to the empress dowager. The Zhong Miao Yi kneeled down and kowtowed, but before Yun Mengqi could bend over, the empress dowager immediately pulled him up. "Home, home.

The empress dowager completely ignored the Zhong Miao Yi kneeling on the ground, and looked over Yun Mengqi thoroughly from head to toe.

Yun Mengqi sniffed. In front of the empress dowager, she was only a child.

When the Empress Dowager saw that Yun Mengqi had already sat down, she called for someone to bring her the hot milk that she had prepared a long time ago to drink.

Beside her, her aunt whispered, "Empress Dowager, Princess Miaoyi is still kneeling."

The empress dowager seemed to have just reacted as her smile froze. She glanced at Zhong Miao Yi, who was kneeling without moving, and said coldly, "Look at This Dowager's memory, she immediately loves to forget things. She even forgot to call you over. Get up."

Zhong Miao Yi took a deep breath, thanked the empress dowager, then slowly stood up and retreated to a place slightly behind the empress dowager to stand.

After the empress dowager called her up, she did not look at her anymore, but continued to look at Yun Mengqi with a smile. "This Dowager has prepared your favorite food for you, eat some more tonight.

Yun Mengqi sniffed, wiping away the tears that had rolled down her face. She nodded obediently, "Mengqi will listen to the empress dowager."

In front of the empress dowager, she looked completely like a pitiful child.
