C288 Memories of the past

The Zhong Miao Yi waved her hand, signalling for Chen Xi Meng not to say anything more: "These things are all normal matters. In the future, if we encounter even more of them, what's there to be angry about?"

Chen Xi Meng bit her lips, agreeing with Zhong Miao Yi's words.

"Then I'll stay here with the Empress." Chen Xi Meng decided not to leave and followed Zhong Miao Yi into the hut.

Zhong Miao Yi did not have any objections, the two of them living together, it would be good to walk around, furthermore, Zhong Miao Yi would need to think of a way to let Chen Xi Meng contact Su Zeyi again soon.

"I remember, you were pretty good when you were by the emperor's side in the past. Why didn't the emperor ask you to stay the night?" Previously, she was also brought along by the Zhong Miao Yi, but when she thought about it now, it was weird. Su Zeyi practically had to see Chen Xi Meng every day, but he did not let her sleep.

When the Zhong Miao Yi suddenly mentioned, Chen Xi Meng still felt her face burning, and she was extremely ashamed.

Zhong Miao Yi had already helped her as much as she could, but because Su Zeyi wasn't willing to favor her, she hated him;

"The Empress knows this as well. How could I know the Emperor's thoughts?" She did not tell anyone about Su Zeyi asking her to report on the situation in the Zhong Miao Yi. If he did not have any favors, she did not have any, and what's more, times had changed.

"I will think of a way for you to return to the emperor's side." Zhong Miao Yi told Chen Xi Meng of his plans, and didn't intend to hide it from her.

"Empress?" Chen Xi Meng jumped in fright, she didn't think that Zhong Miao Yi would bring up this matter so suddenly.

"What is it? Don't you want to? " Zhong Miao Yi thought that she was being a little too anxious, after all, Chen Xi Meng had not fully recovered yet. After being treated like that for a while, her complexion was still not too good, "Don't worry, I'll help you take care of some things during this period. When you recover, I'll let you make contact with the Emperor."

"That's not what I meant." Su Zeyi had already seen her face, but Su Zeyi did not care.

He was only concerned about the safety of the Zhong Miao Yi.

The two went silent for a moment, then Chen Xi Meng seemed to have thought of something, and said: "Does the Empress still remember Venerable Xiang?"

Zhou Yijin?

On the other hand, she was extremely low-key, completely different from Zhou Yitong.

"What's wrong?"

"Me. Previously, I stayed by the empress's side for a period of time, and heard the empress and Regent mentioning the matter of Venerable One Xiang. " Chen Xi Meng softly said, "I was wondering earlier why Venerable One Xiang didn't show his face in front of the Emperor. So he actually had a past."

The Zhong Miao Yi nodded, and indicated for Chen Xi Meng to continue.

"Regent and Empress also brought up this matter while they were chatting and did not say much. I don't think I remember her saying this before." Chen Xi Meng sat in a more comfortable position and looked at Zhong Miao Yi, "My respected guest Xiang does not wish to be pampered by the Emperor. So, it was decided upon earlier."

Zhou Yijin was older than Zhou Yitong, and before sshe entered the palace, he was indeed at the age of engagement.

"The words of her parents and the promise of a matchmaker, how could she still not forget them?" Usually, these kinds of marriage contracts were made by one's parents, there wouldn't be any difference between marrying the man before and Su Zeyi after.

"Yes, originally, it was nothing. It's just that the two clans are aristocratic families. Since young, Venerable Xiang and the young master from that family have known each other, so ever since entering the palace, he has been unwilling to get close to the Emperor." As Chen Xi Meng said this, she sighed emotionally, "He's also a pitiful person. I wonder what Zhou family's old master is thinking, isn't having a daughter in the palace enough?"

They had to be buried together in the palace.

The Zhong Miao Yi laughed, "The empress dowager has something in her palace. The Zhou family from the previous dynasty was indeed very proud of her, but the Zhou family naturally wanted the imperial harem to be under their control.

Chen Xi Meng nodded her head, that's true, Venerable Xiang must have lived his entire life in the palace, but he normally wouldn't be able to see anything, so it could be said that he had tolerated things very well.

"I was wondering why there was such a huge difference in temperament between the two sisters. So there was actually such a reason behind it."

Zhou Yitong went all out to get favor, she was a man with a high opinion of herself, she must think that only the true Son of Heaven would be able to match up to her.

However, since Zhou Yijin did not want to be spoiled, it would be beneficial for their sisterhood. At least, after Zhou Yitong gained favor, he would definitely take care of Zhou Yijin and tell her not to fall for him.

Otherwise, if the sisters fought each other for the sake of being pampered, it would truly be disheartening.

Chen Xi Meng had also suddenly thought of something like this. Since she had decided to follow the Zhong Miao Yi, then no matter whether it was useful or not, she must tell some of the things she knew to the Zhong Miao Yi.

What if he could be of use in the future?

"You were with the empress before, what else do you know?" The Zhong Miao Yi thought for a while and asked.

I really can't remember much in a short period of time, but the empress is mostly blaming the empress, so she rarely says anything in front of me. Regent is also very cautious, and probably has to do with not having enough trust in the other party. Chen Xi Meng was able to see this point as clearly as the Zhong Miao Yi could.

"Then do you know why the empress came to the Eternal Nightfall Pavilion today?"

"Wasn't it just to invite the Emperor?" Although the Emperor has left, his heart is still with the Empress. " Chen Xi Meng felt that the Zhong Miao Yi had a good temper. Even with Yun Mengqi bullying her, she could still keep her calm.

But thinking about it, what did Su Zeyi do to the Zhong Miao Yi? The Zhong Miao Yi naturally had the ability and confidence to remain calm. The people beside him did not know when the next time would be, even if they wanted to avoid him being in peace and quiet it would be difficult for them.

"She came here today because she was afraid of being guilty." Zhong Miao Yi told Chen Xi Meng, telling her not to think of the wrong place.

"Why does the Empress say that?" Chen Xi was startled, and was unable to react in time.

"It was expected that the Emperor would let me out. But don't you forget, why were you grounded? What does it mean to let you out? She is only here to see if Su Zeyi knows the truth. " Zhong Miao Yi said lightly.

Having been given this much by the Zhong Miao Yi, Chen Xi Meng immediately understood. She lowered her head and thought for a moment, her heart becoming colder and colder, and muttered: "So that's how it is. So it was like this. "No wonder."
