Chapter 1233 Too cruel
If the blow was accurate, Zhan Miao's delicate skin would definitely be torn.
A cold chill suddenly flashed in her eyes. She didn't expect Du Lingzhi to be so cruel.
In that case, don’t even think about having an easy time!
She did what she thought. She first turned her head to avoid it, and then ran towards the jade Buddha statue.
The old lady kept pursuing him and for a moment she lost control of her strength and ended up smashing the Buddha statue into pieces.
"Someone come quickly, the old lady has destroyed the Buddha statue. How can we pray? This is a great disrespect to the Buddha!" Zhan Miao ran and shouted, which immediately alarmed everyone.
Not only did Xiao Ling come, but even Concubine Chen arrived in time.
Shocked, she asked, "How could such a good Buddha statue be shattered? This was carved by the late emperor himself. It was offered as a gift in the Buddhist temple for years before it was brought to the imperial palace!"
The old nanny was trembling with fear. She knelt on the ground and murmured, "It's all Miss Zhan's fault. If she hadn't dodged, I wouldn't have missed!"
Zhan Miao looked at her in confusion. "Why can't I dodge? As the eldest daughter of the Zhan Yi Marquis's mansion, am I supposed to just sit there and let you whip me with the cane for no reason? Even if I agree, the Emperor will definitely not agree. How will he explain this to my parents?"
Du Lingzhi's expression changed, and she was subconsciously afraid of Lin Yiwan.
She said with disgust: "Well, no matter what, the Buddha statue is broken. Even if it was the old lady's fault, Zhan Miao should take the responsibility!"
Zhan Miao looked at her calmly: "I wonder how Concubine Du intends to let me take responsibility?"
Du Lingzhi's eyes flashed with viciousness. She narrowed her eyes and said, "If you clean up the debris yourself, it will also show your sincerity to the Buddha!"
Zhan Miao knew very well that Du Lingzhi must be planning something bad.
She should have taken advantage of the moment when she was cleaning up the debris on the floor to make a sudden move.
When she falls to the ground, she will be stabbed!
This is not possible!
She readily agreed, "Okay, isn't it just cleaning up the debris on the floor? I can do it!"
She picked up the tools and subconsciously bent down to clean.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Du Lingzhi suddenly reached out and pushed the maid beside her.
The maid rushed towards Zhan Miao, and it seemed that the two of them were about to roll together in the debris on the ground.
However, Zhan Miao not only dodged in time, he even reached out and pushed Du Lingzhi in.
"Bang!" Du Lingzhi fell to the ground, crying heart-wrenchingly.
The emperor rushed over, and when he saw Du Lingzhi's face covered in blood, he was so scared that his face turned pale.
He asked in shock: "What is going on?"
Du Lingzhi cried and complained: "It was Zhan Miao, she pushed me, she deliberately tried to murder Long Si, Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me!"
The emperor glared at Zhan Miao with a malicious look: "Why did you do this? Do you know that murdering the dragon heir is a capital crime? Even your parents can't protect you!"
Zhan Miao argued innocently: "Your Majesty, I am really wronged. The entire Buddhist temple is hers. Doesn't that mean whatever she says is the truth? I didn't push her at all. She fell down on her own!"
Du Lingzhi angrily scolded: "You are talking nonsense!"
Zhan Miao spoke slowly, "I followed your orders and cleaned up the debris on the ground. This wasn't my job. I endured humiliation for the sake of the dragon heir in your womb, so how could I hurt him?"
Du Lingzhi was speechless. Her whole body was in great pain and she could only cry out in pain: "Your Majesty, please make the decision for me and punish her severely. This is all her fault!"
Zhan Miao also started crying: "Okay, it's my fault. I shouldn't have come to the palace to copy scriptures and pray for you. I can see that you deliberately framed me. I'm going to ask my parents for justice!"
After saying that, she strode out.
The emperor's heart sank. He must not let Zhan Miao leave at this time.
His plan hasn't worked yet!
Thinking of this, he hurriedly stopped him: "Zhan Miao, stop!"
Zhan Miao looked at him aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, it's already this time, do you still want me to stay in the palace and suffer grievances? Are you planning to let me die here?"
The emperor said awkwardly: "How could that be? I know you are wronged, please don't be sad!"
Du Lingzhi asked in disbelief: "Your Majesty, you believe her and not me?"
The emperor interrupted immediately: "Shut up! Didn't I tell you long ago that you're not allowed to wander around now that you're pregnant? You refused to listen, and now that something's wrong, you're blaming others!"
Du Lingzhi was so shocked and angry that her eyes rolled back and she fainted from anger.
The emperor quickly ordered people to carry her away, and asked Zhan Miao to go back and have a good rest first. After the Buddhist temple was cleaned, she could come back to copy scriptures and pray for blessings.
Zhan Miao returned to his bedroom and lay on the bed to catch up on his sleep.
After this sleep, when I woke up, my stomach was growling with hunger.
She walked out in a daze, and saw a little palace maid striding in with a food box.
She said anxiously, "Miss Zhan, are you starving? The emperor specially asked the imperial kitchen to prepare your favorite stir-fried bamboo shoots and pork for you!"
Zhan Miao raised his eyebrows in surprise: "That's not right. I don't like fried bamboo shoots with pork at all. Where did he hear that from?"
"This!" The little palace maid looked embarrassed.
Before Zhan Miao could say anything, he saw Concubine Chen coming with her maid.
She immediately smiled and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Concubine Chen forced herself to speak: "Miss Zhan, I would like to invite you to my palace. Do you have time?"
Zhan Miao nodded hurriedly: "Yes, I'm hungry. Do you have any food in your palace?"
Concubine Chen nodded, turned around and took her away.
When she arrived at her bedroom, she said in a hoarse voice, "Meow, I think something is wrong with the emperor. Today, he suddenly asked me what your favorite food is. I remember he knew it before!"
Zhan Miao quickly realized what was happening. She asked in surprise, "Did you tell him about stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots?"
Concubine Chen replied in a low voice, "Yes, I wanted to test him, but I didn't expect that he would actually have someone do it for you. Isn't it strange?"
Zhan Miao's brows were tightly knitted together. This was not only strange, it was like he was a completely different person.
Substitution?
Alarm bells suddenly rang in her mind, and her pretty face gradually became cold and ugly.
After a moment's silence, she slowly spoke: "My Lady, I've figured it out. No wonder the Emperor suddenly asked me to come to the palace to pray for Lady Du and copy scriptures. It turns out he's no longer himself!"
Concubine Chen was shocked: "Then who is he?"
Zhan Miao shook his head: "I don't know yet. This matter is very serious. I'm afraid he still has treacherous intentions towards me. I must be on guard against him!"
Concubine Chen held her hand tightly: "Then you must be careful!"
As the two were talking, a palace maid announced from outside: "The Emperor has arrived!"
