C261 intumescence (1/2)

Zhou Xu frowned, she always felt that Yun Mengqi's words were not very comfortable to hear.

Even though these matters were still early, she had already planned on cultivating herself to become a tool to suppress the Zhong Miao Yi, and hadn't asked if she was willing or not.

Moreover, even if she didn't tell Su Zeyi, Su Zeyi would still give her this ranking because of her background.

Zhou Xu was not feeling well, so she did not say much and only nodded lightly.

I'll arrange a banquet for you in a few days' time as a form of congratulation. When that time comes, the empress dowager will also be present, and the emperor will definitely come. After Yun Mengqi finished speaking, she left.

Zhou Xu sat alone, having her own plans.

She never wanted to depend on Yun Mengqi. Previously, she was forced to do so and wanted to suppress the Zhong Miao Yi, but it didn't seem to be effective now.

The biggest ability of the Zhong Miao Yi was that she could firmly grasp Su Zeyi's heart. Other than her, no one else could do this.

Just from this point alone, the Zhong Miao Yi was not someone that could be easily overturned.

”Honorable person.” When the Little Maid that followed the imperial physician to retrieve the items returned, she saw Zhou Xu sitting alone, asking her if there was anything wrong.

Zhou Xu frowned and told her to get out.

Little Maid was shocked. She didn't know why Owner's temper became so weird after she went out for a trip, but she didn't dare to ask too much and directly left.

She had interacted with the Zhong Miao Yi before. If the Zhong Miao Yi had displayed a great desire for favors from the start and Su Zeyi had treated the Zhong Miao Yi the same way he treated them, then the Zhong Miao Yi might not be living a good life. At the same time, there wouldn't be so many people who would hate her.

This was because her days of hardship were enough for her to use all her strength to deal with them. She didn't need others to deal with her.

But the situation in the Zhong Miao Yi was just that unique.

It was her that didn't want to be pampered and hid from the emperor, while Su Zeyi desperately tried to move closer to her in order to warm her heart.

Which female in the harem could endure such a provocation, so it was inevitable that Zhong Miao Yi would become a thorn in everyone's side.

The Zhong Miao Yi knew very well what would happen if she chose to accept Su Zeyi's kindness.

But she had no other choice, she had to make this decision for Zhong Jiming. She regretted it so much that she couldn't come, and she also didn't regret the decision she had made.

Raising Zhong Jiming was similar to when she had just entered the palace and no one saw her as such. It was only the Concubine Xian who gave her the greatest amount of kindness.

It was one thing for them to be related by blood, and another for them to repay kindness.

”Is Concubine Yun in the palace now?” Zhou Xu suddenly stood up, walked outside and asked.

The palace maid who had been guarding outside the entire time whispered, ”Just now, I saw that Concubine Yun had gone back. I never heard of her going to the emperor's place. I presume she's indeed in the palace.”

Zhou Xu nodded, she touched her belly, and smiled as she said: ”Come, accompany me to see my concubine, and that child.”

Zhou Yu was going to show off. She felt that her current worth could no longer be described in the same breath.
