C296 Obtain As You Wish

Although she said it in this way, from the bottom of her heart, she still felt uncomfortable.

If Zhong Miao Yi was the direct granddaughter of the Empress Dowager, then their current situation would probably be completely different.

Su Zeyi followed his aunt to the empress dowager's bedroom. Along the way, Su Zeyi didn't say anything.

Judging from Su Zeyi's various actions, if he were to make things difficult for the Zhong Miao Yi again, the relationship between them would most likely reach a state of suffering.

This was not the result the Empress Dowager wanted.

So the empress dowager decided to take a roundabout path. After a moment of silence, she smiled and said, "This Dowager already knows about the empress's matters. Since there's no evidence to prove whether or not the empress did it, it's not impossible to have the empress reflect on it for the time being.

As expected, with the words Yun Xiao and his wife, Su Zeyi's expression became much better.

Su Zeyi had originally thought that Empress Dowager Xi had only called him here to cause more trouble for no reason at all. He protected Yun Mengqi to the death not to mention, but to the point of slander the Zhong Miao Yi even more.

Now that Empress Dowager Xi had suddenly said something so reasonable, Su Zeyi heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. His tone also unconsciously softened, "Yes, we also think so, but the things are from the empress's palace, and they were sent by Bao'er, who is by the empress's side. Thus, we have no choice but to punish the empress.

Empress Dowager Xi nodded, she could hear the warmth in Su Zeyi's tone, and smiled, "Then during this period of time, who will take care of the imperial palace?"

He hid it from Empress Dowager Xi previously because he was afraid that she would become agitated. Now, it seemed that Empress Dowager Xi had figured it out, and Su Zeyi was not going to hide it anymore.

"This Emperor has already made arrangements for the empress dowager's worries. When the empress reflect on it during this period, the authority of the harem will be temporarily under the control of Imperial Concubine Yun." Su Zeyi didn't say why, he merely informed Empress Dowager Xi as casually as he could.

Although Empress Dowager Xi felt uncomfortable in her heart, her expression remained unchanged. "Apart from Empress Dowager, the highest ranking person is the Cloud Concubine. It is only natural for the Cloud Concubine to temporarily control the situation."

Speaking till here, the knot in Su Zeyi's heart could already be considered to have resolved.

He did not want to fall out with Empress Dowager Xi, but he would not allow anyone to bully Zhong Miao Yi like he did in the past.

"It's just that, with Cloud Concubine taking care of the child right now, she'll more or less be unable to keep up with her plans. In places where I won't be able to take care of her, I'll think about it and have Imperial Consort X help me. What does Your Majesty think?" Empress Dowager Xi spoke in a tactful tone, her words were filled with worry that the Zhong Miao Yi would not be able to take it.

Although Su Zeyi knew that the Empress Dowager wanted Zhou Xu to get a piece of the cake, he did not particularly resist.

After all, Empress Dowager Xi had already conceded, so Su Zeyi didn't want to make things too stiff, so he nodded his head, "Before this, the empress dowager had intended for Imperial Consort X to follow her studies and manage the harem, and now that she is helping Yun Zheng, there is nothing wrong with it. Imperial Consort X is pregnant, so she shouldn't worry too much about it, so she should be the main one."

Empress Dowager Xi did not say much, but tacitly agreed to Su Zeyi's decision. Since Zhou Xu was able to fight for this matter, it was better to not talk about who was the leader.

Su Zeyi could not possibly protect the Zhong Miao Yi at all times. He needed to bribe the people and establish a foothold in the harem.

Empress Dowager Xi had fought for her to this point in time, so she should be satisfied.

Empress Dowager Xi and Su Zeyi were more satisfied with their conversation. The displeasure between the two of them had also eased a little, and the entire atmosphere of the Tzu Chi Palace had returned to its former peaceful state.

Before leaving, Su Zeyi asked about the East Empress Dowager.

"She likes to embroider flowers in the back garden. She doesn't like to sit around before she comes." East Empress Dowager was used to living outside the palace in the past, but now that she had entered the palace, she couldn't get used to it.

Su Zeyi nodded in understanding. "We'll visit her again the next time we come here."

After speaking, he left the Tzu Chi Palace and headed towards the Chang Mu Pavilion.

As he was walking on the road, he casually gave an order to inform the Imperial Consort X.

She did not know what was going on with Empress Dowager Xi and Su Zeyi. If by any chance the conversation between the Empress Dowager and the Zhong Miao Yi were to fall through, wouldn't her plans be completely in vain?

No matter what, the Empress Dowager was someone who had lived in the palace for her entire life. She knew that Su Zeyi would not let them go for the sake of the Zhong Miao Yi, so how could she go against his wishes?

To retreat in order to advance, there was no way Su Zeyi would not agree to such a small request.

Therefore, when the messenger arrived, his face was smiling, and Zhou Xu's heart was slightly at ease.

"Congratulations Imperial Consort X, congratulations to you all. This is truly a joyous occasion." The messenger's eyes narrowed as she smiled and bowed to Zhou Fu.

Zhou Xu was inwardly overjoyed. She knew that this was a success, but she still pretended not to know anything: "What's there to be happy about? "How come I don't quite understand what my father-in-law said?"

The eunuch stood up and dusted off his clothes, "The imperial edict says that during the period of the empress's confinement, Imperial Consort X will also assist Yun Xiao in managing the affairs of the imperial harem. Your highness says that this is a joyous occasion?"

Only then did Zhou Xu cover her mouth and laugh in pleasant surprise, "This is what the emperor meant?" Please thank the emperor for me. Please come in and have a cup of tea before you go. "

"The emperor is still waiting for this servant to return and reply. This servant will take his leave first."

With that, Zhou Fu gave a signal to the palace maid beside him, and the Little Maid quickly stuffed the silver in: "Please have some tea, Eunuch."

That eunuch happily accepted it, and after thanking him again, he kneeled down.

Zhou Xu took a deep breath, feeling that her whole body had become a lot smoother now.

As long as her child was safely born, Zhou Xu could only rub her stomach with a complacent look on her face. At that time, it would not just be a small title, even being a Consort would be fine.

"Child, you have to do your best to bring honor to your mother." Zhou Xu softly whispered, her gaze looking towards the distant eaves of the palace. With power in her hands, no one could resist the temptation.

Zhou Xu could already guess that the harem was about to boil over because of this.

However, she was not afraid, but instead exceptionally excited. No matter who it was, they could not stop her.
