Su Zeyi stared at her for a long time. His gentle smile was a miracle to him.
Thinking about how he almost lost her a month ago, Su Zeyi still remained as afraid as ever.
It was only when she saw the bracelet on Zhou Xu's hand that she heard Zhou Fu say that she was willing to go out.
This change of mood was something that no one could help her with. She had no other choice but to think it through herself.
"You feel better?" Su Zeyi suddenly asked this, which was what he had always wanted to ask.
Zhong Miao Yi lowered her eyes and nodded slightly. She didn't know what she should say, or what Su Zeyi wanted to hear.
Su Zeyi sat down for a while, the two of them spoke in a broken tone, but there was nothing important to talk about, when Eunuch Wu opened the door and came in, Su Zeyi was still a little impatient as he frowned and asked: "What happened?"
The Eunuch Wu trembled, knowing that Su Zeyi was angry at his reaction. He braced himself and replied, "Reporting to the emperor, it's from Empress Dowager Xi, I ask for your presence."
Hearing the Empress Dowager's request, Zhong Miao Yi got a rough idea.
Perhaps, it was because Su Zeyi had gone a little overboard. He did not think that, but it had truly hurt Zhou Xu's heart.
Su Zeyi had always protected and supported her, but who would have thought that a sickly Zhong Miao Yi would be able to defeat her?
Seeing that Su Zeyi did not make a move, Eunuch Wu was stuck at the side in a dilemma, not knowing whether he should say another word or not.
How could Zhong Miao Yi not see through her intentions? She said softly, "Empress Dowager Xi is naturally looking for you because of an urgent matter. Your majesty, your majesty, should go check it out.
"You think This Emperor cares about this?" Su Zeyi frowned, why would the Zhong Miao Yi say such a thing to him?
"The Emperor doesn't care. We should think about the Land of the Mountain and River. If the Emperor is feeling uneasy, it would be better for us to go outside." There will only be worse things to say. " Zhong Miao Yi's tone of voice was calm, she could not flatter him, but if she were to be gentle, she could still do it.
Su Zeyi was startled, and then he remained silent.
He knew that the Zhong Miao Yi no longer loved him. Even though he had feelings for her for her for so many years, they had already been worn out by him.
Many times Su Zeyi would think that after he married her, he actually had countless of opportunities to reconcile with her and make her fall in love with him again. But he had given up and chose to walk this path, so all the punishments she had given him now, Su Zeyi felt that he should bear.
Her life that spanned more than twenty years was truly too bitter. Su Zeyi knew that her heart was very bitter.
"Rest well, I'll come see you later." Su Zeyi sighed, not wanting to let the Zhong Miao Yi's good intentions slip away.
It had been a long time since she spoke to him in such a manner. Su Zeyi was truly unwilling to leave, even if they were only talking about insignificant matters, he was still willing to continue chatting like this.
Even if she did nothing, even if she was against her will, even if she found out in the end that she had other motives.
It didn't matter, he just wanted to sit with her properly for a while, just like before.
When the Zhong Miao Yi saw Su Zeyi off, the Ah Jiu was still very happy. She supported the Zhong Miao Yi as he stood at the foot of the veranda: "How great is this noble person?
Zhong Miao Yi took a deep breath, "Do you think this is good? Ah Jiu, if you are forced to smile at your arch enemy's face, will you feel better? "
Ah Jiu was stunned, she had never seen Zhong Miao Yi speak like that before.
No matter how cold and indifferent she was, no matter how cold she was, she was still hiding it in her heart and would never let it hang on her lips.
"My dear man, please be careful with your words." Ah Jiu warned her in a low voice. Even if she hated him to the core, she could not say it out loud.
It was because it was the emperor. Saying such words would mean disobedience, and it would be a great sin to commit treason and punish the nine clans.
Zhong Miao Yi lowered her head, retracting her emotions that were surging like the tides in her heart.
"It's alright. I was just talking nonsense just now." At this moment, only she and Ah Jiu were present, so she was unable to control her emotions.
Ah Jiu nodded his head to express his understanding, he did not mention the matter again. Fortunately, no one was present, otherwise, if anyone else were to hear this, it would cause a huge commotion.
Su Zeyi had only thought that Empress Dowager Xi was the only one who had made it to the Titian Palace. He didn't expect that the East Empress Dowager was also there.
Su Zeyi did not have any particular feeling, and went forward to pay his respects before sitting down.
Empress Dowager Xi did not speak of this matter, but instead East Empress Dowager came to ask her. "Let me ask you, did you take back the gift sent by Honorable Zhong from Imperial Consort X today?"
Su Zeyi frankly admitted: "Yes."
"Why are you doing this? "It's just a bracelet. Since she's willing to give it away, what are you going to do with it?" The East Empress Dowager frowned slightly. She thought that she was doing good to the Zhong Miao Yi because Su Zeyi didn't do anything good, but she didn't know that doing so would instead push her to the heart of the struggle.
Su Zeyi frowned: "If your son wants to go back, then I will take it. For such a small matter, do I have to trouble mother about it?"
The East Empress Dowager said angrily: "Jun Wu Liang, you have caused a chill to the heart, you should have comforted the Imperial Consort X instead. Why are you still running towards Chang Mu Pavilion?!"
Su Zeyi was also angered, "Your son hasn't stepped into the Chang Mu Pavilion for so long, why is it that every time I go there, there will be so many discordant voices? Your son doesn't have the right to see anyone anymore?"
Her son was no longer that brat from the Su Family. Now that he was the Emperor, even if she was his birth mother, she shouldn't speak to the Emperor in this way.
"I didn't mean that." East Empress Dowager slowed her speech and sighed. "But no matter what, you can't let the consorts think that your kindness is overdone. Otherwise, if everyone's heart is cold, the harem won't be at peace."
Su Zeyi felt a little more at ease after hearing this. He naturally knew that there were many places with many women that involved many troubles. They did not dare to resent him, and could only resent each other.
East Empress Dowager's worries were not unreasonable.
"Your son understands and will naturally visit the Imperial Consort X." Su Zeyi also relaxed his tone and replied.
"As for the Zhong Miao Yi, although she follows the emperor, she is after all the princess of the previous dynasty. No matter what, the emperor shouldn't spoil her too much," Empress Dowager Xi said when she saw the emperor loathe him, "As for the Zhong Miao Yi, although she followed the emperor, she is after all, the princess of the previous dynasty.
