Because she didn't know how long Su Zeyi would sleep, she didn't intend to wait for him. She had thought about what Ban Qiu had said yesterday and had already made her decision.
Ah Jiu helped her wash and eat. During this time, she did not ask about why Su Zeyi suddenly appeared in her room.
Ban Qiu had said yesterday that she went to see Bell and even met Tang Yao before. They should have reached the final stage of a coup and was waiting for an opportunity to ignite the flames of war that would set off this war.
The victor was the king while the loser was the bandit. This was a principle that had never changed since ancient times.
Su Zeyi did not have any justifiable reason to overthrow the power and self-rule of being a king, but these were not too big of a problem.
As long as Su Zeyi wanted to, he could create countless of excuses.
Now that everything was ready, it was time to lure the emperor into the trap that he had calculated step by step.
Perhaps, the thing that truly frightened the Zhong Miao Yi was the fact that she was just a insignificant particle in Su Zeyi's meticulous calculations. It didn't matter to him, but it was pitiful and lamentable.
He was afraid of seeing the huge black shadow behind the conspiracy.
Tang Yao was also involved.
She didn't know what kind of mentality she should have to face this, nor did she know if this choice was right or wrong.
Perhaps she shouldn't have survived that year. If she had, wouldn't things have changed again?
"Madam, the wind is cold. Let's go back." Ah Jiu whispered as he pulled his emotions back together.
The winter wind was getting stronger and stronger. It was as if he couldn't feel any warmth in his heart.
No matter what Ah Jiu did, he couldn't let her walk into his heart.
Losing too much meant that he didn't want to own it as much.
Zhong Miao Yi did not return to her room. She sat in the side hall for a while and felt that she did not sit there for long. Before she even ate half of the bowl of silver ear soup, Su Zeyi came in.
His face still did not look good, and did not seem to be able to rest. Zhong Miao Yi was stunned for a moment before reacting, it seemed that he was wearing very thin clothes.
"I'm in the room, so you're going to hide here?" Su Zeyi walked straight up to the Zhong Miao Yi and sat down, then said to the Ah Jiu beside him, "I want a bowl too."
When Ah Jiu heard this, she left. After Zhong Miao Yi watched him leave, she lowered her head and stirred the soup in her hands, "That's not true, you are too tired, I don't want to disturb you."
Su Zeyi smiled at her and suddenly changed the topic: "Miao Yi, do you understand the Tang Family?"
The hand Zhong Miao Yi was holding onto the bowl trembled, she took a deep breath: "I don't understand."
「 I've met with Tang Yao for a long time now. It's been a long time now, and he's finally calmed down a lot.」 Su Zeyi didn't care whether the Zhong Miao Yi wanted to hear it or not, he didn't wait for her to ask any further questions and went on by himself.
"The Tang Clan belongs to the backbone of the Qi Kingdom. Even if I don't go find him, he will come looking for me one day." Su Zeyi said those words very confidently. As expected, he was still able to easily grasp the sore spot of the Zhong Miao Yi and instantly attracted her gaze.
"What do you mean?" The Zhong Miao Yi frowned. She knew how much Tang Yao hated Su Zeyi, so how could Tang Yao come to look for him?
Su Zeyi focused on her the entire time. Every single one of her expressions and reactions fell onto Tang Yao's shoulders.
It was as if as long as Tang Yao was around, she would be unable to find a single corner for him to hide in.
"Now that the Imperial court has been divided and the Tang clan is in the middle, it is not a wise choice." As Su Zeyi spoke, he habitually fiddled with the thumb ring on his thumb, lowering his head, a smile on his face. "Although Tang Yao hates me, for the sake of the whole family, and for your sake, he'll have to sit down and calmly talk to me."
Zhong Miao Yi's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, she still had her own reasons.
"What did you talk about?" Speaking till here, escaping was already out of the question. Zhong Miao Yi did not look at Su Zeyi as he continued to eat the soup on her hands.
"Miao Yi, the Tang Clan has decided to support me." When Su Zeyi said this, he did not sound like he was victorious. Zhong Miao Yi actually felt that his tone was bitter, and there was a sense of helplessness in his tone, "Now that the situation has been set, have you thought about it clearly, Miao Yi?"
Tang Yao supported Su Zeyi?
It was also for her. If Su Zeyi lost, everyone in the Su Family would die.
But if Su Zeyi won, she would be able to stand at the peak and live in the gorgeous palace that should have been hers in the first place.
He wanted her to live, he was always thinking for her, and he never cared about her return.
With Tang Yao acting in such a manner, she felt a pang of guilt that was on the verge of breaking out of her heart.
Zhong Miao Yi's eyes were moist, luckily Ah Jiu suddenly came in, Su Zeyi glanced at Ah Jiu and quickly took a sniff, suppressing her tears.
Ah Jiu brought out a silver ear soup and placed it beside Su Zeyi: "Sir, the silver ear soup is here."
After that, he asked Zhong Miao Yi if she still wanted to eat more. Zhong Miao Yi paused for a moment, then shook her head and handed her bowl to Ah Jiu: "Don't cook fish in the afternoon, smell the fishy smell."
A few days ago, he said that he liked it, but the taste was so fresh that today, he felt a little fishy.
Being pregnant was indeed an extremely difficult task. Even the Zhong Miao Yi himself felt that she had become illusory, and it was akin to being wronged by the Kitchen's chef, who had to take care of her appetite at all times.
Ah Jiu felt that it was very normal and asked her if she wanted to eat some hawthorn cake. He shook his head and didn't have any appetite.
Su Zeyi watched on from the side. He was a little hungry, so he casually ate some and threw it to the Ah Jiu to eat.
Zhong Miao Yi was still the same. Other than her initial shock, there were no other emotional fluctuations.
Compared to the past, whenever she talked about Tang Yao, she was much sharper. It was as if she couldn't wait to tear every single detail of their relationship to shreds.
What had they become in time, and who really cared?
However, even though Zhong Miao Yi had given in, even though she was already his woman and no longer had the sharpness she used to have, every time she mentioned Tang Yao, Su Zeyi still felt terrible.
He didn't want to admit that he had a day where he was going to eat food for a woman, but he had no choice.
In fact, even he himself was a little unable to understand just when he had done it. For what reason he loved Zhong Miao Yi, he must have him by her side, and he must also have that day where her entire person and her entire heart, would once again return to him.
What Su Zeyi knew was that there would be a day when both beauties and mountains would be his.
