C272 Believe her (2/2)

Zhou Fu cried loudly. Zhong Miao Yi stood at the side with an expressionless face.

Empress Dowager Xi listened for a while, then turned her head and spoke in a low voice, ”Kneel.”

Zhong Miao Yi did not resist and obediently knelt down. Empress Dowager Xi looked at Su Zeyi with a threatening gaze.

Su Zeyi looked up, his face full of confusion. ”What does the empress dowager want us to say?”

”Yun Xiao is already this bold, the emperor still wants to protect her?” Empress Dowager Xi couldn't believe that Su Zeyi was actually asking her what she wanted to hear from him?

Was this woman really that trustworthy in Su Zeyi's heart?

”I heard what the Imperial Consort X said, but even if there is a secret behind this matter, we must at least investigate it or talk about it later, right?” Su Zeyi replied indifferently, he was not excited or angry.

Zhou Xu did not say anything, but she felt really uncomfortable. In Su Zeyi's heart, could she and the child in her womb even compare to the Zhong Miao Yi?

”Evidence?” Empress Dowager Xi narrowed her eyes. ”Even if His Majesty wanted to cover up his concubine, he shouldn't have said it in such a dignified manner. Imperial Consort X is the emperor's flesh and blood.”

Su Zeyi was a little annoyed as he frowned. ”Since the empress dowager has confirmed that it was Consort Yun who did this with such firm words, then we have a few questions, can you answer them?”

Empress Dowager Xi took a deep breath and patted Zhou Xu's back to reassure her. After saying that she would definitely uphold justice for her, she looked at Su Zeyi and said, ”Your majesty, please ask.”

”Since the empress dowager said that it was done by her, then why did she do it?” Su Zeyi asked.

The empress dowager laughed coldly and pointed at Zhong Miao Yi, ”Does Your Majesty still not understand? ”This woman brought back the body and bones of the crippled monarch from outside the palace. I don't know what she's planning, but once the emperor's own son is born, the child in her hands won't be able to receive the emperor's favor anymore. Of course she has sufficient reasons to do so.”

What Empress Dowager Xi said was indeed a matter, and Zhong Miao Yi was indeed worried about it. However, Empress Dowager Xi had yet to say a thing, Zhong Miao Yi had never thought of killing another person's child in exchange for Zhong Jiming's future.

But in Empress Dowager Xi's eyes, such a motive was more than enough.

”I can guarantee this. I can never have such dirty thoughts.” Su Zeyi didn't listen to what the Empress Dowager had to say and insisted on protecting the Zhong Miao Yi.

Zhong Miao Yi knelt on the ground. Her heart was not unmoved by this, Su Zeyi. Really changed a lot.

If he could have changed his mind earlier. Zhong Miao Yi was willing to give all her heart to him.

But now, the Zhong Miao Yi didn't know if she was moved or something else.

Empress Dowager Xi was so angry at Su Zeyi's attitude that she almost died. She pointed at Zhong Miao Yi and said viciously, ”How could the emperor be fooled by a concubine?!”

Su Zeyi changed his posture and sat down as he sighed, ”Esteemed Empress Dowager, I was not deceived by Consort Yun, it was us who had known Consort Yun for so many years. We know what kind of person she is, and we also know that she wouldn't do such a thing.

It would never be punished.

Su Zeyi expressed his attitude and determination, looking as if he would never change his mind no matter what the Empress Dowager said.

Yun Mengqi stood at the side, looking at Zhong Miao Yi, she knew that this would be the result.
