Zhong Miao Yi gave Ah Jiu a meaningful glance, and Ah Jiu brought a tray filled with clothes and passed it to Yun Mengqi. "Empress, take a look yourself."
Yun Mengqi subconsciously felt that something was amiss. Even though it was something she had gifted her, she did not reach out to touch it. After looking at it, she continued to ask Su Zeyi, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by that, Yun Xiao?"
Zhong Miao Yi did not plan to beat around the bush and directly said, "This is a gift from the empress, chenqie is very grateful and very fond of it. It's just that chenqie just touched it and saw that it was such a good material, and prepared to put it on again during the new year celebration. However, Empress, chenqie has seen it, and it's because she touched the clothes the empress sent over that chenqie became like this."
Zhong Miao Yi raised her hand to show to Yun Mengqi, who instantly frowned: "What nonsense are you spouting?!"
How could there be a problem with the clothes she sent over? This was something that she had agreed to in front of Su Zeyi, how could she do such a foolish thing?
But Zhong Miao Yi looked like she was certain that it was her doing. Yun Mengqi panicked a little.
"Bao`er personally delivered this to the empress by her side. There can't be anyone else who could take this opportunity to make a move, right?" Zhong Miao Yi had been paying attention to Yun Mengqi's expression the entire time, she was still not sure if Yun Mengqi had fainted because of her anger.
"So what if Bao`er sent it herself? Once we get to your palace, could it be that you have come up with a plot to frame us?! " At last, Yun Mengqi was able to react a little. She looked at Su Zeyi, and her tone carried some panic, "Your majesty, someone is definitely plotting to kill chenqie!"
Su Zeyi was a little angry at Yun Mengqi for losing control of herself: "Who would want to harm you? "Are you talking about a concubine?"
Yun Mengqi originally wanted to nod her head and say yes, but looking at Su Zeyi's expression, it was clear that she did not believe him at all, so she forcefully retracted the words that were about to leave her mouth and knelt down, "Chenqie clearly knows that there's something wrong with this thing, why would she personally send someone to give it to Consort Yun? Furthermore, this thing was not prepared in advance and was suggested by the Emperor.
Yun Mengqi's words were reasonable, but. Zhong Miao Yi glanced at Bao'er, who was kneeling down alongside Yun Mengqi.
With such a clever girl around, they would inevitably not take advantage of Yun Mengqi's inherent characteristics to act out a play of a thief and shout thief to escape suspicion.
As the Queen knelt, and followed by Zhou Xu, Zhou Yitong and Zhou Yijin naturally could not stand.
After hearing what Yun Mengqi had said, Su Zeyi had obviously thought about the credibility of her words. Although Yun Mengqi and the Zhong Miao Yi were never on good terms, ever since Yun Mengqi had become the Empress, she did not make any mistakes nor did she do anything else.
"I heard that the three of you were in the empress's palace before?" Su Zeyi moved his gaze away from Yun Mengqi and asked the three people behind him.
Zhou Xu felt wronged the most, but she was also the most anxious to speak, "Your majesty, Regent asked Chenqie to go with you to the Empress's palace. Chenqie's fetal appearance was unsteady, and she originally did not want to go out, but Regent said that the Empress is not well, and we sisters should visit her.
Zhong Miao Yi stared at Zhou Xu, and when Zhou Xu and Zhong Miao Yi's gaze met, they shifted away in embarrassment.
The Zhong Miao Yi did not rush to make a conclusion, and once again, shifted her gaze towards Zhou Yitong and Zhou Yijin.
Zhou Yijin would always have a calm look on her face, it did not seem like she would interfere in these matters.
Zhong Miao Yi took a deep breath and said softly, "Imperial Consort X seems to be in a hurry to explain. The Emperor hasn't said anything yet."
Zhou Xu glared at the Zhong Miao Yi, "Don't use insinuations like that, the Emperor's heart is clear. Even if he hasn't done it, he hasn't done it. Is my explanation to the Emperor also hindering you?"
Su Zeyi frowned: "Say less!"
There were plenty of places with many women, and what Su Zeyi hated the most was doing this all the time.
Zhou Xu was speechless, but she still glared at Zhong Miao Yi, her face full of unhappiness.
Su Zeyi's heart still ached for the child in Zhou Xu's womb, he raised his hand at her: "Just sit there and reply."
Zhou Xu's face looked extremely good as she thanked Su Zeyi with a smile and sat down.
"Do you have anyone else take a look at what the empress has bestowed upon your mistress?" Su Zeyi asked again. If others had seen it, then this matter should not be mentioned.
Yun Mengqi thought about it carefully and gasped, "It seems. "Not really."
"So you're saying that only the empress and the people by her side have touched, right?" Su Zeyi's tone was cold, no one knew what he was thinking about.
Although he did not want to admit it, it seemed like the truth, and all the disadvantages pointed at him and Legitimate Wife.
Yun Mengqi lifted up her body, tears were already in her eyes. "Your Majesty, chenqie indeed did not do such a thing, chenqie. How can you do such a stupid thing? "
Zhong Miao Yi laughed coldly, what happened at Su Mansion back then, Yun Mengqi had done quite a few stupid things.
Su Zeyi was a little angry. Yun Mengqi's justification looked pale and powerless, there had been turmoil since the time the Zhong Miao Yi had brought Zhong Jiming back to the palace, and now, her life was on the verge of being taken without any warning.
Su Zeyi had no way of ignoring her, and it was impossible for him to let her off so easily just because of Yun Mengqi's words.
"Everything is pointed at the empress now, but you still want to defend yourself?" Su Zeyi didn't believe her, and it was hard to believe her.
Yun Mengqi's heart thumped, and she fell down to the side. She looked at Su Zeyi somewhat panickedly, "Your Majesty, chenqie really doesn't have one. I hope Your Majesty can understand this."
The great hall was completely silent, no one spoke up for Yun Mengqi.
Yun Mengqi pulled Bao'er who was behind him, "Tell me! Just what was going on!? How did you do it? How could such a thing happen? "
Bao Er knelt very low. The current situation was clearly disadvantageous for Yun Mengqi, and in front of the emperor, she could not persuade Yun Mengqi to beg for her majesty to clearly observe this matter. She could only watch as Yun Mengqi became more and more unconscious, and immediately grabbed onto Yun Mengqi's hand.
Yun Mengqi didn't understand Bao'er's intention. She shook off Bao'er's hand, moved a few steps forward and grabbed onto the corner of Su Zeyi's clothes, not letting go.
