Su Zeyi raised his head and looked at Empress Dowager Xi.
Empress Dowager Xi had always disliked the Zhong Miao Yi. Now that the Zhong Miao Yi had no one to rely on, and had no one to rely on, her attitude slightly changed.
"I naturally have a sense of propriety in my heart whether I like her or not." Su Zeyi did not directly answer this question.
As a woman, what could she do? Now, he had to take even a little bit of her kindness into consideration. Wasn't this act of the emperor a bit too useless?
Empress Dowager Xi was obviously not satisfied with Su Zeyi's reply. She squinted her eyes and adjusted her sitting posture, "It's good that Your Majesty has a sense of propriety. I'm afraid some people might not have one and cause a lot of trouble for nothing."
It was unknown who said this, but Su Zeyi let out a cold laugh. He was about to say more when he was stopped by the East Empress Dowager, "Enough, speak less of it. Since Your Majesty knows what is going on, although this matter is not big, the Emperor has always favored the Imperial Consort X.
When he thought about Zhou Xu, Su Zeyi's heart softened. This matter wasn't really related to her, after all.
Furthermore, in these few days, Su Zeyi had to admit that he did not like her just because she was like the Zhong Miao Yi.
She was like the Zhong Miao Yi, but also not like him. The Zhong Miao Yi was the Zhong Miao Yi, and no one could copy her.
But even if Zhou Xu had her own abilities, she could actually make Su Zeyi look at her with interest. After a while, Su Zeyi also understood it clearly in his heart.
Now that the empress dowager had mentioned this matter, Su Zeyi felt that he should indeed go and see Zhou Xu.
"Yes, son understands." When Su Zeyi agreed, Empress Dowager Xi's face turned slightly better. After all, Zhou Yu was a member of the Zhou family, if the daughter of the Zhou family was compared to the Zhong Miao Yi, this useless person, where would the dignity of the two empress dowager go?
Su Zeyi didn't want to make things difficult for the East Empress Dowager, so dealing with Empress Dowager Xi on a daily basis was already an extremely difficult task for him.
After the matter was cleared up, the two empress dowager did not allow Su Zeyi to stay any longer. They both told him to quickly go and see Zhou Xu.
Su Zeyi walked out of the Tzu Chi Palace; one head and two heads.
He stood there motionlessly, and the rest of the people did not dare move. Eunuch Wu waited at the side, staring at Su Zeyi's face for a long while before cautiously asking, "Your Majesty, where are you planning to go?"
Su Zeyi did not look at him, his brows locked even tighter. After pondering for a long time, he finally let out a helpless sigh.
"Yes, your majesty. Go to Frostfloat's palace." Eunuch Wu shouted, as he supported Su Zeyi onto the carriage.
Along the way, Su Zeyi didn't speak the entire way. His brows were tightly knitted, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
He thought he could consult the empress more, but found that the empress wasn't someone he could favor. She had even fewer Imperial Consort X by her side than the emperor. It was really worrisome.
For example, right now, she was the one who clearly said that she was going to the Frostfloat's palace, but her face was filled with unhappiness.
The Eunuch Wu didn't dare to say too much and quietly followed by the side. When Su Zeyi was thinking about something, he hated people who talked too much.
Eunuch Wu had already called the eunuch beside him to inform Imperial Consort X to come out and receive him. Unexpectedly, Su Zeyi suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Turn around, let's go to Chang Mu Pavilion."
Eunuch Wu was dumbfounded.
Seeing that the Eunuch Wu did not make any sound, Su Zeyi frowned slightly and repeated: "We said we would go to Chang Mu Pavilion, what are you waiting there for?"
The Eunuch Wu regained his senses and quickly called for the people to turn around. When he raised his head to look at Su Zeyi, he realised that Su Zeyi seemed to have understood something, and was no longer as worried as before.
"Stay behind and tell Imperial Consort X that I'll come back later." Su Zeyi instructed. He knew that it was not good for him to leave now and so the empress dowager found out.
But these were no longer important. He wanted to see the Zhong Miao Yi, and he knew that he had to see him. When he left, he said that he would return, so he had to.
He. He didn't want to break his promise to her anymore.
Eunuch Wu smiled bitterly as he replied. He felt that he had committed a crime, and that he would have to do this kind of thing every time.
Even after Su Zeyi's palanquin had been driven far away, Eunuch Wu still stood on the spot and sighed.
A young eunuch at the side asked, "Chief, why do you sigh?"
"Sigh, you don't understand." Eunuch Wu shook his head, he did not know what he should do now.
The Imperial Consort X should already be out by now. If he knew that the Emperor had come and left, who knows how he would feel.
Whatever, it's already like this, what else can we do?
Eunuch Wu braced himself and walked into the Frostfloat's palace. Sure enough, Imperial Consort X was looking around with a face full of expectation.
The Eunuch Wu sighed, trying his best to maintain a smile on his face, "Don't worry Imperial Consort X, the Emperor has some business to attend to. Tell this servant to come and inform your highness, that later, the Emperor will come back to accompany your highness."
A look of disappointment flashed across Imperial Consort X's face. "Does the emperor have any urgent documents to deal with?"
Eunuch Wu laughed awkwardly: "That's not true. Your majesty. "When we went to the Eternal Nightfall Pavilion to visit Noble Zhong, he also knew that Lord Zhong's health had always been poor and that it was common for the Emperor to remember some of it."
Zhou Xu's heart sank.
She actually hoped that Su Zeyi had government affairs to deal with, so that she would instead feel comfortable in her heart.
Why did it have to be Zhong Miao Yi? Zhou Xu squeezed out a smile to thank the Eunuch Wu, and told them to send him out properly before covering his heart and returning to sit inside.
Three days was still her birthday. She suddenly regretted it. Why did she have to prove anything?
If not for that thought, the Emperor wouldn't have thought of the Zhong Miao Yi and definitely wouldn't have come to see her.
Right now, her favors had not stabilized yet, and were going to be split up by the Zhong Miao Yi with just a few words. How could she take it?
The emperor had never done this before. In this period of time, other than her, the emperor had never summoned anyone else from the concubine to serve him.
Even the Queen could only endure it, was the Zhong Miao Yi really that powerful? Was her position in the emperor's heart so unshakable?
Zhou Xu sighed deeply. She was not convinced. Why should she? How could she compare to Zhong Miao Yi? There would be a day when she would rely on her own ability to keep Su Zeyi here.
