Su Zeyi let out a long sigh. He never thought that the Zhong Miao Yi would actually persuade him to get involved in this matter.
He had thought that she was either using him, seizing him, and then going to get everything she wanted, giving it all in return, so he would accept it as well.
Or perhaps he could lock himself up and never see or have anything to do with him again for the rest of his life. Then one day, he would silently die and torture him for the rest of his life.
However, he had never thought that she would be like this, with a smile that didn't have any warmth on her face, saying words that didn't have any warmth. Yet, he was still unable to breathe.
He had treated her in a variety of ways before, fierce, irritable, gentle, considerate, but no matter what, she had at least some emotional ups and downs.
The current Zhong Miao Yi, who had walked through the gates of hell and returned, had now completely changed into a person he did not recognize.
But she was the Zhong Miao Yi, his Zhong Miao Yi. He brought her back, raised her up, made her life hers, also his people, no one can take her away, even the heavens cannot take her away.
Su Zeyi truly thought like this. All this while, he had always used all kinds of methods to keep the Zhong Miao Yi alive.
He wanted her to live, to live in his sight.
Such a request wasn't considered excessive, but it was extremely difficult to fulfill it.
Right now, the two were so close to each other, but Su Zeyi knew that their hearts weren't really that close.
He was no longer able to touch the heart of the Zhong Miao Yi. Even though she had given her heart to Tang Yao and her child, there wasn't the slightest bit of it left for him.
Su Zeyi would often tell himself that this was what he deserved and what he should bear, but the anger in his heart still did not go away.
Zhong Miao Yi always said that she did not give her any choice, but fate did not give her any choice either.
They were the same, they were only the same, but Zhong Miao Yi would not admit it even if she died, she had to break free from his shackles.
Su Zeyi slowly stretched out his hand. He carefully held onto Zhong Miao Yi's hand, but Zhong Miao Yi did not dodge, as usual, she still felt no warmth.
She was too thin. Although she had grown some meat back in the past few days, she was still too thin, and her beautiful features were even more prominent. Her eyes, which had once seduced people's hearts, were now covered in a layer of dust.
"Then tell me, what should I do?" He wanted to cheer her up, and anyway, as long as she was willing to see him and talk to him, he didn't want to argue with her any more.
The Zhong Miao Yi tapped the table with her fingers, "The harem is dominated by the Legitimate Wife. If the Legitimate Wife is not at peace, then the harem is uneasy. The emperor should go to the empress palace to comfort the empress.
As these words came out, Su Zeyi was truly dumbfounded.
Su Zeyi didn't think it was strange that the Zhong Miao Yi advised him to go anywhere, but it was Yun Mengqi's place. Su Zeyi never would have thought that the Zhong Miao Yi would persuade him to go to Yun Mengqi's palace.
She really had changed. The past could no longer affect her, and no one could guess what he was thinking.
But the more it was like this, the more Su Zeyi was unwilling to accept it. He felt that the Zhong Miao Yi was already a mystery to him.
He couldn't wait to solve the puzzle, but he found that there were layers upon layers of rings. He couldn't find the beginning, nor the end.
"You. You want me to go to the empress dowager's palace? " Su Zeyi reached out to touch her forehead, but his hand was pushed away with a smile.
"I'm not sick, nor is I feverish, and the emperor didn't mishear either. I really did mean that the emperor should go to the empress's palace and accompany the empress." Zhong Miao Yi repeated it once more. Su Zeyi felt that it was even more inconceivable.
When the two of them were in the manor, they were incompatible like fire and water.
Although Su Zeyi knew that it was mostly Yun Mengqi who provoked him first, this did not stop the relationship between the two from continuously deteriorating. This kind of worsening was not alone, but rather, it was mutual.
"Are you sure?" Su Zeyi raised his eyebrows, and decided to confirm it again.
He did not expect the Zhong Miao Yi to laugh out loud, and did not seem to be angry at all. "That's right, your majesty should sit down for a while, then go have dinner with the Empress."
"But I want to accompany you." Su Zeyi frowned. As expected, she still kept pushing herself out, this was Zhong Miao Yi's usual method, but it was a pity that after he fell in love with her, he would never be the same free and easy Su Zeyi again.
"Your Majesty doesn't need to accompany me." Zhong Miao Yi restrained her smile, "Miaoyi's body isn't completely recovered yet. During this period of time, the emperor should properly favor the newbies. With so many sisters, the emperor only accompany the Imperial Consort X.
Su Zeyi became silent and did not speak anymore. He picked up the other book by his side and did not want to hear any more from the Zhong Miao Yi.
He was also afraid that if he got angry, he would do something bad and push the relationship between the two of them to a dead end.
What exactly does the Zhong Miao Yi want? Just what did she want to do? Su Zeyi didn't have a specific plan in mind yet, but Su Zeyi knew that when the time was right, the Zhong Miao Yi would definitely let him know.
The process of waiting was extremely arduous. Su Zeyi knew that the Zhong Miao Yi did not want the harem to become filled with miasma.
Zhou Xu was innocent, as was the concubine of the imperial harem. He should not have treated everyone with such cold eyes.
Seeing that Su Zeyi did not continue speaking, Zhong Miao Yi knew that he had heard it, so she felt uncomfortable, so she called Ah Jiu out, telling him to go get some snacks, she was a little hungry.
Su Zeyi secretly glanced at her from time to time when he was looking at the paper. She was flipping through some small books written by someone, but she was actually reading them with interest.
Su Zeyi was tasting the food, he felt that he would not be able to save them anymore, he didn't even like this book and wanted to tear it apart.
But if he did that, Zhong Miao Yi would probably laugh at him.
forced himself to shift his gaze away from her, and the two of them sat there quietly. Zhong Miao Yi was enchanted, and after a long while, she recalled that when she raised her head to look, she was shocked by Su Zeyi, and then remembered that he had been doing this for a long time.
