Zosia: Quick Transmigration System
Chapter 89 - 87- Arc 3

Zosia stared at the potted plant with a lost gaze.

It's been a few days since the Emperor came to tell her that she would be leaving the palace and was asked to use this few days to pack.

Today, she would be leaving.

During these few days, her power has grown more than how it was before. She has even entered a new realm.

Using these few days, she thoroughly mapped the palace and even found the secret passage way the Imperial family usually uses.

Some were already dust and old that they could fall at anytime while others are new ones and she also saw a passageway used by the Emperor a few days ago.

She wouldn't have known without her Analyz function.

Still lost in thought, she was suddenly called back to reality by a maids voice.

"Princess, Her Majesty the Empress has given birth!" The maid announced in a joyous tone.

"Oh." Zosia's response was way lackluster than the joy that the maid exhibited, except for the three old maids who understood the ins and our of the matter.

"Princess, are you not happy?" Another maid asked.

Zosia lazily looked at them, "Prepare some gifts. I can't go and see my mother and her new son without gifts, can I?" She said with a subtly mocking tone. Others may not have heard the subtle mockery but the three old maids did.

She couldn't disregard it, its best she goes and the Empress would use her hand to send away, further cementing the fact that her mother did not love her.

She watched as the maids scuttled around, trying to find the best gifts.

Evelyn approached her with a concerned look etched on her face, "Are you sure you want to go? You know the Empress hates... Your presence."

"Mmm. Are you worried about how I would feel if I go? Don't worry about that. I may have felt that way before if I did not have Father's backing, but now I do."

"Then Princess, the only suitable gift we have is tea and Medicine and maybe a brocade of silk that can be used to make clothes for the new Imperial Prince."

"Bring them then."

All the clothes she has been embroiding, they were only made for her and she hadn't done for anybody yet, well, apart from the Emperor, whose cloth she finished embroiding this morning.

She had wanted to use fine leather but most of the things she had ended up being swallowed by her space. Even her live animals were all gone.

Thinking about it now, she still felt an ache in her heart.

"Princess, everything is ready."

"Mmm." Zosia hummed in response and took the first step, leading them to the Empress Courtyard.

The Empress Courtyard is called the Faithful Courtyard. Funny how the courtyard is called faithful but she is cheating on the Emperor.

She had found out about it yesterday while mapping out the Palace. She saw the Empress meeting with a man in a secret garden and their conversation was nevertheless revolting.

Remembering how they have already planned to start poisoning the Emperor after she has given birth. They wanted to introduce the poison little by little into his system, so that by the time the Prince grows up, it would be easier to kill the Emperor.

Zosia's gaze darkened. She couldn't let their plan succeed but at the same time, she was no longer staying in the palace, she could only package the stream water in bamboo bottles, crushed tea leaves, she also added some sun dried ones. She didn't forget to also add the fragrance pouches that she had made.

All of the above has the effect of taking care of poisons and other health issues.

She would try to see if there is a way to send such things to the Emperor monthly when she arrives at her uncle side.

They finally arrived at the Empress Courtyard and the Emperor arrived just immediately as well.

"Greetings to the Great Sun." They all courtesyed and greeted.

Zosia's eyes roamed on the flamboyantly dressed figures who were looking for ways to enchant the Emperor.

"Zosia, follow me." The Emperor called out.

Following behind the Emperor as they entered inside. She watched as the maids carried bloody water out of the room.

As they entered inside, the maids quickly greeted.

"Gonghui, how is the mother and child?" He asked, his tone cold and his face was expressionless. Not even a hint of joy could be seen in his eyes.

Zosia took a sneak peak at the Emperor and noticed a hint of disgust in his eyes.

"Did he know? Maybe he knew they were all cheating on him, but why did he allow it?" She thought inwardly with her lowered head.

"The Empress and child is fine. You can go in to see the child." The mid-wife called Gonghui said with a smile.

Zosia followed behind the Emperor as they walked inside. Entering into the room, a woven colt greeted them with a small bundle laid inside.

"Do you want to see him?" The Emperor suddenly asked.

"Yes."

"You can go and carry him."

Zosia walked up to the colt. She just stared at the baby that kept crying.

Sigh!

Seeing the baby reminded her of Ken. She didn't carry the baby but stood there in a daze as she reminisced her time with Ken.

The Emperor stared at Zosia who was just staring at the baby in loss. "She might not like him, just like I don't." He thought Inwardly.

Just looking at the child reminds him of the fact that he could no longer father one and the result of their cheating.

He didn't know if these people treated him as a fool, especially the Empress Dowgar who was running back to the Imperial Palace and even using the baby as an excuse to stay back in the palace.

"I will just send Zosia before all those Vultures arrive in doves. I also need to deal with them reasonably."

By reasonably, he means killing them off with a proper explanation.

Zosia stroked the child's head and she noticed it was calmer and his cries subsided, "If you were not my half brother, maybe things would have been better.

I wonder who or what you would grow into. Would you grow up to be like your father? Who is so greedy and selfish or like your mother, who doesn't know when to stop and hates her first daughter with everything in her." She thought.

"The Empress want to see the child." A maid entered and announced.

"Oh. Just lead the way and I would follow." Zosia said and took the child from the colt.

It's show time.

Zosia entered the next room, where the Empress was staying with the child. The Emperor did not come in but stood outside.

Amelia turned to look at her child but noticed that the maid wasn't the one carrying it, but her daughter.

"Get my child away from her and send her away. I don't want to see her here!" Amelia screamed.

Zosia watched as the baby was snatched from her hands and she was roughly pushed out. As she was leaving, she could even hear Amelia calling her a bad luck and spitting out consecutively.

Aaron who was outside heard everything with his sharp ears, he didn't even need to go in to see it.

He felt a fury of anger boil inside him. It was alright if she didn't want to care for Zosia but to even call her bad names. The same child that came out of her womb.

His own child that bore his flesh and blood.

What else could it mean other than the fact that, Amelia also disregards him and the child.

Seeing Zosia come out with her head lowered, he was further enraged, that a stormy aura brewed around him.

The maids and even the consorts who stood outside, had heard everything and how much disgust and hatred that she held in her tone.

Before evening, Zosia was sure that the news would have circulated and even the commoners would hear of it.

The courtiers and maids who had witnessed the scene whispered among themselves, their eyes following her every move. She kept her head lowered, further giving them enough room to speculate.

Aaron patted Zosia, even lowering himself to her height.

"Go to the carriage and wait for me." He told her and entered inside.

Everyone could tell that the Emperor was definitely angry.

"Princess Zosia," Evelyn's voice was gentle but firm, drawing her attention. "It's time to leave. The carriage is ready."

Zosia nodded, her expression unreadable as she followed behind her.

The people who came to visit the Empress and congratulate her on the new addition to the palace, decided to wait to hear the punishment bestowed upon the Empress.

Everyone could tell that after what happened to Zosia, that the Emperor had come to cherish her more. It also made others jealous but finding out that she was leaving the palace, brought joy to them.

They could now compete for the position of being the Emperor's jewel.

It didn't take long for the Emperor to enter and come out and for them to hear the Empress allowance has been completely deducted. Meaning, she no longer had one and to properly take care of the Prince, she was also grounded.

They watched the Emperor leave and his countenance was definitely not looking good. But it had nothing to do with them.
