C229 The Empress Dowager could not do it either

Zhong Miao Yi was not afraid of Yun Mengqi, but the empress dowager really couldn't say that she could handle it herself.

Only Su Zeyi could persuade the empress dowager otherwise.

This matter could not be concealed, and Yun Mengqi was still willing to reply tomorrow. Presumably, she was also frightened by Zhong Miao Yi, and was afraid that she would do something extreme that would implicate him.

Zhong Miao Yi understood that Yun Mengqi would definitely settle the score with her because of this child.

In the future, his days in the palace would be difficult.

The Zhong Miao Yi did not know how Chen Xi Meng leaked the information, but seeing her flustered expression and not feeling guilty, she could tell that what she had said was probably true.

After all. Su Zeyi had specially instructed her before that Chen Xi Meng did not have much sincerity towards her, but he did not dare to disobey Su Zeyi's words.

All these things added together made his head hurt even more.

The Zhong Miao Yi decided not to think about it anymore. It would be useless to think about anything else before it really happened.

Ah Jiu helped her wash her face and sleep. Because she was injured on the back of her head, she could not wash her hair.

When Zhong Miao Yi woke up, it was already noisy outside. She struggled to sit up, feeling sore all over her body.

"Ah Jiu." Ah Jiu quickly came in, her expression was relatively relaxed, and told her that Su Zeyi had already reached the Chang Mu Pavilion.

"Why is he here?" Zhong Miao Yi was stunned for a moment.

"The Emperor said that he would pay his respects today and accompany his noble father." Ah Jiu had a smile on his face. With Su Zeyi around, he was not afraid of anyone bullying Zhong Miao Yi.

"Together?" Was he afraid that if he wasn't here, he would be eaten alive?

Ah Jiu helped her put on her clothes, and as expected, Su Zeyi was already waiting for her to eat. When they were eating, Zhong Miao Yi was a bit absent-minded, but Su Zeyi told her to eat a bit more: "Later, bring the child along too."

Zhong Miao Yi put down her spoon and said seriously: "I gave him a name, it's called 'Let Me Go', it comes with my surname."

Su Zeyi listened and nodded: "As long as you think it's good."

The light in Zhong Miao Yi's eyes dimmed. She knew that Su Zeyi would not care about these things.

"Actually, the emperor doesn't need to accompany me." After the meal, Su Zeyi even specially accompanied Zhong Miao Yi as they walked. It was really too eye-catching.

Ever since she entered the palace, she had always been unwilling to be spoiled, never showing her face in front of others.

Therefore, other than Yun Mengqi, the rest of them did not have any conflicts with her.

Now, not only Yun Mengqi, every pair of eyes in the palace had to stare at her, as if she wanted to fight for a favor.

Su Zeyi didn't notice her as he pulled her hand and waved it around, afraid that there was someone else in the palace who didn't know.

She did not expect that Su Zeyi would personally accompany Zhong Miao Yi today, so all of the imperial concubines in the hall stood up to pay their respects to Su Zeyi.

Su Zeyi pulled himself back and sat in the empress's seat, so Yun Mengqi could only lift a stool and sit beside Su Zeyi. She smiled awkwardly, "Why has the emperor come over at this time?"

Su Zeyi did not know about the matter of Yun Mengqi going to look for the Zhong Miao Yi last night, so he softly said, "Today, there is something that I want to announce."

Yun Mengqi immediately understood what Su Zeyi was going to say.

"The cripple has a child. He had just been born, and I thought the child was innocent, let alone a child who didn't know anything. In order to pacify the pain of Lord Zhong's son losing his son, I allowed him to raise him." After Su Zeyi finished speaking, the entire palace hall became terrifyingly quiet.

Zhong Miao Yi walked to the center and knelt down, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor."

Yun Mengqi looked at the Ah Jiu standing behind Zhong Miao Yi. She hugged Zhong Jiming, and really couldn't understand why the emperor would ask the Zhong Miao Yi to bring the child over as well.

Zhong Miao Yi had thanked the emperor but before she could stand up, a voice came from outside, "Empress Dowager Xi has arrived! East Empress Dowager has arrived! "

Majesty, indeed. Zhong Miao Yi closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened them again, she just so happened to meet Yun Mengqi's provocative gaze. Even Su Zeyi stood up to greet him.

Empress Dowager Xi's face was gloomy as she sat in the same position as Su Zeyi. When the East Empress Dowager sat in the same position as Yun Mengqi, other than the Empress standing, all the other concubine were kneeling on the ground.

Zhong Miao Yi was perturbed. Looking at Empress Dowager Xi's expression, he knew that today's matter was definitely not that simple.

"Your majesty, I heard that the cripple has another son, and that he's already been carried back to the palace?" Empress Dowager Xi slowly spoke out, her gaze sweeping around before locking onto Ah Jiu's body.

Su Zeyi frowned, and nodded: "Yes, we have already given our support to noble Zhong."

Empress Dowager Xi asked with a smile, "Lord Zhong?" "Don't the Emperor feel that it's inappropriate for such a small noble to raise a child?"

"What does the empress dowager mean?"

"Since the emperor feels that his son is innocent, I have nothing to say. But shouldn't this child be raised by the empress? Isn't that more reasonable?" "Lord Zhong is the daughter of a useless monarch. It's already the emperor's favor to be able to survive. What if this child is abetted by her? What if he resents the emperor when he grows up?" Therefore, This Dowager thinks that regardless of position or identity, Lord Zhong is not a suitable candidate. Someone, bring the child over for This Dowager to see. "

The Zhong Miao Yi kept her cool and waited to hear what Su Zeyi had to say.

Sure enough, Su Zeyi stopped them all, "Don't move!"

He looked at Empress Dowager Xi and said, "The empress dowager is right, but I have already discussed it with Duke Zhong a long time ago. The empress dowager doesn't have the surname of a ruined ruler, but the surname of a noble Zhong, and when the child reaches a certain age, he is assigned to live in a feudal fiefdom. This way, the grudge and vengeance that the empress dowager was worried about would cease.

Empress Dowager Xi was flabbergasted. She pointed at the Zhong Miao Yi and frowned, "How can the emperor be so protective of this woman? "Has the emperor forgotten her identity?!"

Su Zeyi did not forget to tell others that he knew his better than anyone else.

However, he was even more clear that what he hated the most was being threatened and having his power interfered with.

Su Zeyi was not the Puppet Emperor, he just didn't want to have any huge conflicts with the Empress Dowager and the Zhou family over the trivial matters of the harem.

But today, since he had promised the Zhong Miao Yi, he definitely would not be someone who goes back on his words.

"Zhen didn't forget who she is, but the empress dowager forgot who we are. Zhen has already decided on this matter, even if the empress dowager wanted to interfere, it won't do."
