C116 New departure

Beijing's New Year was always particularly lively.

Previously, when she was in Qingge, she liked to sit by the tall windows and watch the fiery red streets and the shadows of people moving about outside.

The sounds of firecrackers, the laughter of children playing around, the cries of peddlers, all these sounds mixed together made Zhong Miao Yi feel like she was not in the situation at all, like an outsider looking at their happiness and happiness.

She didn't like the New Year.

Su Zeyi had never come to see her during New Year's Eve, she only had piles of beautiful new clothes and expensive jewelry, but she didn't like any of these things.

Therefore, when everyone was wearing fiery red new clothes to welcome the new year, she was completely white, like a ghost that lingered in the world.

She probably just wanted to be alone.

After all, at that time, only Su Zeyi and Old Madam Su were part of her family.

Unfortunately, there wasn't any. She once cherished a family love that was as precious as a treasure, but she never had one.

The current her, even though she was wearing luxurious clothes and was surrounded by tens of thousands of people, was still hearing the familiar shouts. She was no different than the years before, harsh and similar. Too far from her.

However, the current her was no longer a lonely ghost.

Bell sat beside her, curiously lifted the curtain to look around, her palms were full of sweat drops.

She was no longer alone. Naturally, she could no longer be alone and free and easy, but now that she had a lot of ties, she could no longer be free and at ease. Zhong Miao Yi truly felt that it was good to be like this.

It was as if they were all like this, no longer bound, as if they had never walked a single step in this world.

Yun Mengqi's palanquin was in front while she followed far behind. If it wasn't for the fact that they were of the same standard, the people around them would have thought that Zhong Miao Yi was just a concubine.

However, Zhong Miao Yi did not feel that there was anything wrong with it. She kept instructing the sedan chair bearer not to walk so fast, the gaze of the bell was dazzling, this was the first time Zhong Miao Yi saw her so happy.

The palace had never been a place with good memories. She did not know about Concubine Xian's situation in the palace, and she did not know if Imperial Consort De and the empress dowager had ever made things difficult for her again.

However, when she was pregnant, Concubine Xian still had a share of the gifts that she received from the palace. Although it was not much and she did not send her aunt any more, Zhong Miao Yi was still genuinely happy.

There didn't seem to be a gap between her and the Concubine Xian that was difficult to sew up, as they had intended.

Bell laid on the ground and watched for a while, then suddenly put down the curtain, turned her head towards Zhong Miao Yi and said: "Madam, I seem to have seen some masked people flash past from the crowd just now."

Zhong Miao Yi was startled, she did not ask if the bell was seeing things, but immediately lifted the curtain on the other side, and shouted: "Ban Qiu!"

Ban Qiu being by her side made Zhong Miao Yi a lot more at ease. She was just about to say that what Li Ling saw was something that was stopped by a glance from Ban Qiu.

It seemed that Ban Qiu had already sensed it herself, so Zhong Miao Yi put her heart back to her stomach and softly asked: "Do you have water?"

Ban Qiu nodded and slowly passed her a bottle of water.

When Zhong Miao Yi came to fetch the water, Ban Qiu gave her a peaceful smile. Su Zeyi was simply too far away from her. He was at the very front of the long queue, thousands of miles away from her. Right now, he could only rely on Ban Qiu.

Putting down the curtain, Bell was somewhat nervous. "Madam, did I say the wrong thing?"

Zhong Miao Yi shook his head slightly, "No, you did well. You have to know that we are in the light, but there are still more darkness in this world that cannot be illuminated by light. You have to protect yourself well."

Just as she was grinning, a sharp arrow pierced through the air with unstoppable force and struck right between Zhong Miao Yi and Liu Chang.

The arrow's feathers were still trembling slightly, the bell would scream out in the next second, but Zhong Miao Yi held onto it tightly.

The door was in a mess, all sorts of screams and the sedan began to shake violently. Zhong Miao Yi quickly pulled the arrow out of the door and slid down with the bell in her arms, trying her best to curl up so that the arrow would not be exposed to the outside world.

The palanquin swayed extremely hard. Zhong Miao Yi heard the sound of weapons colliding outside, and then suddenly shook intensely, causing the palanquin to fall to the ground. The strong pushing force almost made Zhong Miao Yi vomit.

After landing on the ground, she didn't move anymore, but Zhong Miao Yi felt a tight pain in her stomach. She extended her hand to grab onto the bell, which was scared by her pale face: "Madam? Madam, what's wrong with you?! "

Zhong Miao Yi closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, only then did she feel that the black brain before his eyes started to feel lack of oxygen, and after that sharp pain passed, it seemed to have slowly calmed down.

She didn't hear what the bell was saying, she only subconsciously shook her head to tell her not to be afraid, it was nothing.

As long as Ban Qiu was there, nothing would happen to them.

Furthermore, this was the capital city. If they dared to attack the Su Clan, there would be a large number of soldiers coming to save them. There was no need to worry at all.

What made Zhong Miao Yi afraid was that if she had used her arms to hold the bell, or if she had taken a step towards the bell, the arrow would have accurately and accurately shot through one of their heads.

Those people were also gambling. Unfortunately, they had lost the bet, and the chips that they had to pay were their own lives.

After an unknown amount of time, the curtain of the sedan chair was suddenly lifted. At that moment, she could barely hear anything outside, and her ears were filled with a low hum. Then, a man with a sword behind his back threw away the things in his hand and easily carried her out.

Passing through the heavy crowd, she even saw Yun Mengqi pass by her side, and only after the Dr. Yang who was running in the distance gave her a pulse and said that there were no major problems, did she finally see clearly that the person who was carrying her was Su Zeyi.

Noticing that Zhong Miao Yi was looking around randomly, Su Zeyi covered her eyes with his hands. "Don't look, they are all dead."

Zhong Miao Yi's body froze. Was he afraid that she would be affected by it, or that the child in her womb would be affected?

The quality of these killers looked good, Su Zeyi definitely wanted them to live, but he did not catch them, as if he was very unhappy.

Fortunately, there were no major accidents as to why these people had come, and their motives were unclear.

To not delay her entry into the palace, Dr. Yang gave Zhong Miao Yi some acupuncture and moxibustion and felt much more comfortable. Su Zeyi did not allow her to sit in the palanquin any longer and instead carried her on the horse.

"If you're scared, don't try so hard to hold it in."

Su Zeyi suddenly said, "I won't think that you're being noisy."
