Yang Zhaoqing hesitated, wondering if he should inform Miao Yi.
Seeing his hesitation, Zhan Ruyi immediately took out the Star Bell and prepared to contact Miao Yi.
Unexpectedly, a figure descended from the sky and landed outside the crowd. It was none other than Miao Yi.
"Milord!" Yang Zhaoqing quickly came over to greet him.
Miao Yi looked at the encirclement and had a rough idea of what was going on. Zhan Ruyi was probably blocked from leaving.
"Milord, what is the meaning of this?" Zhan Ruyi pointed angrily at the troops blocking her way.
Miao Yi replied calmly, "Nothing much. I am just following orders."
Zhan Ruyi gritted her teeth. She had vaguely guessed what was going on. Otherwise, the Black Dragon Si Clan wouldn't treat her like this for no reason. After all, with her background, even the Left Military Governor, Defeating Armies, wouldn't dare to touch her without a valid reason.
"I have something to discuss with you, milord." Zhan Ruyi turned and extended her hand, inviting Miao Yi into the manor for a chat. She lowered her stance and even seemed a little humble.
She had no choice but to lower her stance. She needed to rely on Miao Yi to escape. If she offended him, she wouldn't be able to escape. She wanted to leave to look for Miao Yi. If she couldn't get his handwritten order, even if she could leave the Imperial Garden and the Black Dragon Division let her go, the guards in charge of this galaxy wouldn't let anyone in. After all, this was not an ordinary place. It was an important place in the Celestial Court. No one would be allowed to wander around.
Normally, she could easily ask Miao Yi for a handwritten order. But now, it wouldn't be easy. She had no choice but to beg.
Miao Yi was silent for a moment, then nodded. He waved his hand to signal for his subordinates to lower their weapons, then walked through the crowd and up the stairs, following Zhan Ruyi inside.
Actually, he didn't know why the higher-ups suddenly put Zhan Ruyi under house arrest. He wanted to know what had happened and if the Black Dragon Division and himself would be implicated. After all, Zhan Ruyi was a member of the Black Dragon Division. She was also his subordinate. It was possible that she would be implicated.
Moreover, with the incident at the phantom market, many important officials of the Celestial Court had been purged recently. It was hard to guarantee that the Ying and Zhan families wouldn't be implicated.
They entered the inner yard. Zhan Ruyi stopped and turned around when she saw the fairies guarding the yard. "Can you have them leave for now?"
Miao Yi frowned. "Is there a need?"
"Yes!" Zhan Ruyi nodded with certainty.
Miao Yi raised his hand and said, "All of you may leave for now."
"Yes!" The Immortal's Maids that had been temporarily assigned to the Black Dragon Division all knew what kind of person Miao Yi was, so they obediently answered and retreated.
Zhan Ruyi extended his hand again, inviting Miao Yi into the main hall. She suddenly turned around and closed the door.
The light in the room instantly dimmed. Miao Yi abruptly turned around, his face full of vigilance as he coldly glared at her, "What are you trying to do? I advise you not to act recklessly. It's not my idea to put you under house arrest. It's the higher-ups' idea. If you act recklessly, you'll be the one suffering. "
Zhan Ruyi laughed coldly. "Don't worry, I have no other intentions. If we fight, I won't be able to subdue you in a short period of time, and alerting the people outside won't do me any good. "
That was the meaning of Miao Yi's warning. He then went straight to the point, "What's the matter? Why are you acting so sneakily?"
Zhan Ruyi said, "Niu Youde, everything that happened in the past was all my fault. You're a great man, so please forgive me and let me go."
Miao Yi calmly said, "I'll say it again. This is the higher-ups' idea. I'm just following orders. It has nothing to do with the personal grudges between us."
Zhan Ruyi said, "I don't care whose idea it is. I'm begging you this time. I beg you to give me a written order and let me leave this place. "
Miao Yi said, "You must be joking. The higher-ups ordered you to be placed under house arrest. What's the matter with me letting you out on my own? Am I tired of living? "He paused for a moment. Seeing the pleading look in her eyes, he hesitated and asked, "What happened?"
Zhan Ruyi smiled bitterly. "What happened? It's a joyous occasion. His Majesty wants to take me as a concubine. I'm guessing he'll let me enter the palace in a few days. "
"..." Miao Yi was stunned, a little dumbfounded. He never imagined something like this would happen. The Green Emperor actually wanted to take this woman as a concubine. What was going on? How could this be? But from the looks of it, she didn't seem to be lying to him. When he thought about how this woman used to be so arrogant, and now she had to enter the palace to fight for his favor with tens of thousands of other women, he couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. After a moment of silence, he smiled and cupped his fists. "It is indeed a joyous occasion. I'll congratulate you here in advance."
"You've been here for quite some time now. You should know what's going on in the harem. I don't want to go. You're the only one here who can help me leave. Milord, I beg you. " As soon as Zhan Ruyi said this, he immediately knelt down in front of Miao Yi with a look of despair on his face. He begged again, "Help me. Please help me. Don't worry. I won't let you help me for nothing. Just name your price."
Miao Yi was a little surprised. He didn't expect the other party to kneel before him. He lightly stepped aside and shook his head. "Zhan Ruyi, I can't help you even if I want to. If I help you, what will happen to me? Who can help me when I can't protect my own life later? You should think of a way to ask your grandfather for help. If Heavenly King Ying can speak to His Majesty, it'll be easy for him to help you. Why bother making things difficult for me? "
"It was my grandfather's idea to let me enter the harem …" Zhan Ruyi bit her lip and slowly stood up. "Let's go together and leave this place. I can marry you and become your woman."
Miao Yi was taken aback. He was both annoyed and amused. "Are you joking?"
Zhan Ruyi shook her head. "I'm not joking. Nothing will happen to us if we leave together. As long as you're willing, I can give my body to you right now and become your woman. We can find a place to live in seclusion later. My family will take care of us. It won't be any worse than what you get when you're the Head Commander. "As she said this, she took off her armor and looked like she was about to take off her clothes.
From the woman's anxious expression, Miao Yi could tell that she wasn't faking it. She wanted to play for real. However, he turned around and slowly walked away. He couldn't be bothered to entertain her any longer, so he simply said these words. He simply said, "Young Miss Zhan, I'm just a nobody. I can't afford to entertain you."
Suddenly, there was a ripping sound behind him. He quickly turned around and was a little stunned. A half-naked, jade-like body was revealed in front of him. Her soft, jade-like breasts were adorned with red cherry blossoms. They were exceptionally alluring. Her shoulders and collarbones were exquisite, and her snow-white lines were graceful and creamy …
In a moment of desperation, Zhan Ruyi tore off the clothes on her upper body, leaving them hanging on her waist in tatters. Miao Yi wasn't the only one who was stunned. Even she seemed to be frightened by her own actions. She trembled slightly, as though she wanted to raise her hand to cover her chest. However, in the end, she slowly lowered her hand. She bit her lip and warned, "You try walking out. I'll immediately shout that you're molesting His Majesty's concubine. I don't think I need to tell you the consequences of molesting His Majesty's concubine."
It would have been better if she hadn't threatened him. However, her threat immediately ruined everything. Miao Yi felt as though he had been tricked. His ability to respond to emergencies wasn't to be trifled with. He decisively turned around and snorted, "I'll say that I didn't do anything. I didn't see anything. Moreover, everyone knows about the grudge between us. Let's see if the higher-ups believe me or you. If you're thick-skinned enough, you can run out like this. It'll be best if you let all the men outside admire Beauty Zhan's jade body. If you do that, I'll be more than happy to see it. Everyone can see that you did it on purpose! "
With a wave of his hand, he opened the door and strode out.
As soon as the door opened, Zhan Ruyi was scared out of her wits. Afraid that someone outside would see her, she hurriedly hid to the side. In the end, she hid in a corner and quietly changed her clothes, weeping silently …
Nothing happened behind him. Miao Yi heaved a sigh of relief as he exited the Grand Commander's residence. Actually, he was taking a gamble just now. He was betting that Zhan Ruyi's mind would be muddled, and that he would quickly leave while she was considering his words. He was truly afraid that Zhan Ruyi would act rashly on impulse. If that happened, he wouldn't be able to explain himself even if he was in the right.
Even if everyone knew that he had been framed, just the fact that he had seen the Celestial Emperor's concubine naked was enough for him to bear the consequences of his actions.
After exiting the Grand Commander's residence, he knew that he was safe. He knew that he had dodged a bullet.
However, he still couldn't help clenching his fists, regretting coming here. He should have avoided meeting her. He had really offended Zhan Ruyi this time. Even though he had dodged a bullet now, Zhan Ruyi might become the Celestial Emperor's concubine later on. Who knew how she would make things difficult for him then?
Stepping down the steps, he waved his hand and said, "No one is allowed to enter or leave without my orders. Have the people inside keep an eye on Grand Commander Zhan. It doesn't matter if she's willing or not. Watch her closely!"
"Understood!" Yang Zhaoqing obeyed the order and went to make the arrangements.
When he came out again, he saw Miao Yi standing at the edge of the cliff with his hands behind his back. He walked over and reported, "Milord, it has been arranged."
Miao Yi sighed softly, then transmitted his voice over, "I'm afraid there will be trouble. Do you know why the higher-ups want to put her under house arrest? She is about to enter the palace to become His Majesty's concubine, and I have offended her greatly in the past. I don't know how she will cause me trouble later on. "
As for the matter of Zhan Ruyi revealing her private parts, as long as Zhan Ruyi didn't say anything, he naturally wouldn't say anything either.
"Uh …" Yang Zhaoqing was instantly speechless. Zhan Ruyi's change in status was too sudden. There were no signs at all.
When he came back to his senses, he smiled and consoled, "Milord, you worry too much. After Milord was punished, Yang Qing specifically asked me to investigate the situation here. According to what I know, it is troublesome for a concubine to leave the palace without the Empress' permission. She is a member of the Ying family. It would be strange if she could deal with the Empress in the harem. I believe it won't be easy for her to leave the palace. Besides, I have never heard of a concubine in the harem who can interfere with politics. Furthermore, Milord is a subordinate of the Left Supervisory Guard. The local powers will have to think twice before making a move on you. I have heard that our Commander of the Left Supervisory Guard often says he wants to depose the Empress. He even dares to beat up the Empress' grandfather. The Commander doesn't even care about the Empress. How could he allow a concubine to do as she pleases? Come to think of it, it is probably a good thing that Zhan Ruyi has entered the palace. She can't do anything to Milord. Milord will no longer have to be wary of this hidden danger by your side in the future. "
Hearing this, Miao Yi was suddenly enlightened. The worries in his heart were swept away. He raised his hand and patted Yang Zhaoqing's shoulder, smiling, "I will leave this place to you. Keep a close eye on her. Don't let her escape. Otherwise, we will all be in deep trouble!"
