C198 Don't be afraid

Zhou Xu probably talked about herself with Su Zeyi.

The Zhong Miao Yi guessed that Zhou Xu probably asked some overconfident questions, and after Su Zeyi scolded her a few times and left, she was unable to take it anymore.

Actually, if Zhou Xu thought about it carefully, she would know where the problem was.

Disregarding who exactly Su Zeyi liked more, just based on the friendship between his and the Zhong Miao Yi for so many years, she shouldn't even argue over who was the better one.

However, even if Zhou Xu wanted to fight, she could not. The Zhong Miao Yi could not do anything to her.

Speaking of which, Zhong Miao Yi actually had the best impression of Zhou Xu at the start. However, after a period of observation, Zhong Miao Yi felt that Zhou Xu was not the best candidate.

Although Zhou Xu was beautiful and intelligent, she was still too easily pampered and valued. Su Zeyi had only pampered her for a few days, and already planned to compare everyone in the palace. If Zhong Miao Yi was Su Zeyi, then he would definitely want her to receive a good lesson.

Otherwise, if she were to just let things be, if she were to continue spoiling them like this, how could Zhou Xu still have any measure of tolerance?

After Ah Jiu heard this, she left and prepared to go to Frostfloat's palace.

When he walked past the empty space in front, he saw Shun Chang holding onto Shun Quan's hand and said something. Shun De saw Ah Jiu and pulled Shun Chang for a while, and Shun Chang followed his gaze and saw that it was Ah Jiu, so he did not continue speaking.

The two of them had a dispute before, so Ah Jiu didn't want to bother too much with it. She had something important on him, so she didn't think too much into it.

On the way to Frostfloat's palace, only then did Ah Jiu feel that something was amiss.

Shun Chang pulled Shun Quan, and started to discuss with him in whispers. The three of them had been talking and laughing all day, but today, looking at Shun Chang, it seemed that he had forgotten about the fight with the Ah Jiu.

Ah Jiu thought about it for a long time. When he reached Frostfloat's palace, he also could not think of anything, so he gave up.

After all, Su Zeyi had given them rewards, so Su Zeyi should have given instructions beforehand. Even if there was anything they wouldn't dare to do, they would just go after her, or else, they wouldn't dare to do anything to Zhong Miao Yi.

Thinking about that, Ah Jiu calmed down, but she was fine, even if Shun Chang wanted to take revenge, she had nothing to be afraid of.

It wasn't anything much to pass on a message to Imperial Consort Chen, but after Ah Jiu told Chen Xi Meng about Zhong Miao Yi's intentions, when he was about to leave he asked seemingly unintentionally: "This servant hears that Frostfloat's palace is exceptionally quiet, is Imperial Consort X not here?"

Chen Xi Meng smiled: "I'm here, Imperial Consort X has said these past few days that she's been sick, she doesn't go out nor see anyone, so she sent someone to invite His Majesty three times a day without resting. The Emperor also ignored her and told her to look for the imperial physician, there's nothing else that she can ask about, but Big Sister has anything she wants to know?"

She was indeed sensitive, but Ah Jiu was naturally unable to tell her, so she replied in a perfunctory manner, "This servant was just asking casually, my master is concerned about his benefactor, how would he have the time to ask about Imperial Consort X?"

Chen Xi Meng nodded. What Ah Jiu said was reasonable, she was overthinking it.

Actually, Chen Xi Meng did not say everything. Zhou Xu was not completely free from torture, it was just that she did it during the night.

Su Zeyi had only not looked at her for two days and she was already in such a state.

The Ah Jiu knew in her heart, she did not really want to go to the Southern sideways hall, in case Zhou Xu thought that the Zhong Miao Yi was spying on her, then things would get noisy again.

Chen Xi Meng sent Ah Jiu out, watched him leave before slowly returning to her room and sitting down.

The previous emperor had rested in the empress's palace, and the Imperial Consort X had toiled for most of the night, so she didn't know what was going on. However, no matter how much trouble they created, they didn't cause any trouble for the Frostfloat's palace, so she didn't dare.

Chen Xi Meng endured, she was not the type of person to cause trouble, so she didn't care what happened to Zhou Xu and just stayed in her own world.

Chen Xi Meng herself didn't know why she was doing this. Logically speaking, when Zhou Xu was getting spoiled, she should have been getting close to him, but she still shut herself in her room. Only when Su Zeyi came did she look at him from afar.

For some reason, Chen Xi Meng felt that Zhou Xu was unreliable, and that Zhou Xu would definitely not help her get the favor of Su Zeyi.

Everyone was selfish. They all wanted to be the most favored one. Who would want to give their man to someone else?

Thus, Chen Xi Meng kept her distance from Zhou Xu, afraid that she would take Su Zeyi away to deal with him.

The two of them were in the same palace, and Zhou Xu's wealth was slightly higher than Chen Xi Meng's. With such a large body, dealing with him would be a piece of cake.

Right now, Zhou Xu was faintly showing signs of losing his favour. Chen Xi Meng knew that her uncontrollable happiness was bad, but she just had no way to control herself.

When the Zhong Miao Yi said that she wanted to help Su Zeyi make him happy, she was actually really afraid. She was afraid that if she did not do it well, she would ruin everything.

But Zhong Miao Yi made her feel at ease, she was not in a hurry to push herself out, she was seriously considering this matter.

Chen Xi Meng suddenly felt safe.

She had never had a sister since she was young. When she grew up by herself, it was the first time she felt like an elder sister from Zhong Miao Yi.

Zhong Miao Yi also knew that she was afraid, so she asked Ah Jiu to calm her down and not scare her, so he told her to relax a little.

Chen Xi Meng's heart was moved, she felt that the Zhong Miao Yi must be the kind of person that she thought was very strong, so she wasn't afraid that others would steal what belongs to her.

Because she was confident, she knew that no one would be able to take it away, or perhaps she didn't care about it at all.

No matter which one it was, it was all fine for Chen Xi Meng. Desire was a thing that hadn't sprouted yet, and everything was good.

However, once it was provoked, even the tiniest hint of it would be inflated in an instant.

Chen Xi Meng had suppressed the feelings she had for so many years. Once she was just a step away from having what she wanted, she didn't even feel like she was out of breath.

Only now did she realize how selfish she was.

Furthermore, she did not truly entrust her entire body and soul to the Zhong Miao Yi. She was frightened by her own thought of taking the initiative, so she should not be like this.

But in the palace, what were kindness and conscience to do? Her father had already told her to climb up with all her might, to seize every opportunity. As long as she could get a favour, the whole family would change completely because of her.
