C158 gossip

Su Zeyi had been walking for almost ten days.

These days, Zhong Miao Yi had never left her bedroom.

Although Su Zeyi was angry, his appetite and silver were not missing. The whole house was always warm.

It was already the end of winter, yet she was still as cold as the wind.

Zhong Miao Yi loved to walk around the house. Since the child was three months old, she could see the bulge in her stomach. Zhong Miao Yi truly felt that this was a new life that she was giving birth to.

It was also because of this child that such a boring house arrest seemed to have become less torturous and longer.

Her needlework had become even more exquisite. After two years of working together, she had never thought that she would also have the chance to quietly sit down and work as a female worker in the afternoon.

In the first two days, Ban Qiu would often come to comfort her, sighing as if he was the one being punished instead of the Zhong Miao Yi.

On the contrary, Zhong Miao Yi felt relaxed, as if all her worries had been isolated outside the city walls.

In the past two days, he did not see much of Ban Qiu's shadow, Ah Jiu entered and said that Ban Qiu was not near the courtyard, she put down the needle and thread in her hand, and finally felt that something was amiss.

"Recently, the manor has been quite quiet." Zhong Miao Yi slowly opened her mouth. It had been a long time since she had thought about these things.

She did not know what was going on outside. She could not go out, and naturally the people in her courtyard could not go out either. It was also very difficult for Ah Jiu to find out more about the situation.

Today, Ban Qiu was not around, so Zhong Miao Yi looked at Ah Jiu and said: "Since he is not here, you can go outside and check on what is going on, quickly come back, and don't let anyone see you."

Ah Jiu was startled for a moment, then nodded his head and agreed.

Su Zeyi didn't tell Ah Jiu anything. Only Ban Qiu knew about the people in this courtyard, and Ah Jiu was very familiar with the place.

If they didn't encounter any obstructions, sneaking out of the manor was an extremely easy task.

Unfortunately, just as he walked to the door, he bumped into Yun Mengqi who was yelling from the front and back.

With the Zhong Miao Yi being placed under house arrest, most of the authority in her hands had been handed over.

Su Zeyi needed the empress dowager, so he could not ignore this fact. She did not care what Su Zeyi did or what his nature was, she only needed to support and rely on him unconditionally.

After all, she could entrust the rest of her life to Su Zeyi and not the Emperor.

Yun Mengqi had thought about this very thoroughly.

When she saw Ah Jiu, she was not overly flustered. He only frowned and bowed, "Princess."

Yun Mengqi did not look at her, and chuckled: "Where's Zhong Miao Yi?"

Ah Jiu's frown deepened: "Madam is not feeling well, she has gone to bed."

"Are you kidding me?" Yun Mengqi laughed and pushed Ah Jiu away, "I'll go in myself."

After he finished speaking, he walked in. Ah Jiu wanted to stop him, but he was restrained by the people Yun Mengqi brought and dragged inside the house.

When Yun Mengqi walked in, Zhong Miao Yi was napping. When she heard the sound, she did not even need to open her eyes to know that it was Yun Mengqi.

This time, Yun Mengqi was not particularly noisy, she chose a seat for herself, leaving Bao Er there to accompany her, while the others waited outside.

She took off her shawl and patted the melted drops of water off her body.

"You're still in the mood to sleep." Yun Mengqi faintly sighed, "But since that's the case, there's no need for you to do anything."

Only then did Zhong Miao Yi slowly open her eyes.

Yun Mengqi laughed complacently: "Hey, look. The feeling of not knowing anything must be really bad, right? Why are you staring at me? Didn't I come here to tell you? "

Yun Mengqi's smile made Zhong Miao Yi panic.

Most of the news she had brought was not good news worth being happy about.

"I'll have to trouble you to make this trip." Zhong Miao Yi sat up straight and looked at her, "But I don't really want to hear it. How did you get here?

Yun Mengqi's smile stiffened, but quickly recovered. "Why, you don't want to hear the rumors, what are the rumors saying?"

It was a common thing to incite the hearts of the people before doing something big. She didn't really want to know.

However, Yun Mengqi didn't have the intention to leave, he also decided to ignore her impatience. She had become smarter, with more people, she also heard that Ban Qiu wasn't around.

"It is said outside that the Emperor is not the true heir. After sitting on the throne for so many years, the cycle of the heavens has finally arrived. It's finally a day where paper cannot contain fire." Yun Mengqi laughed and raised her eyebrows, "When these words were spread to the palace, the Emperor was so angry that he pulled out his leader's tongue and cut off his head man's flesh with one knife and hung him on the city wall. He originally wanted to make an example of the enemy, but he didn't expect the rumors to become even more intense and say that the Emperor was guilty."

Zhong Miao Yi was startled when she heard it. Just thinking about it was enough to make him feel nauseous.

"I didn't expect that the emperor would be so sick of these rumors. He ran over to ask the empress dowager, left the empress dowager's palace, and gave her an unforgivable decree before falling ill. What do you think the emperor learned from the empress dowager?" Yun Mengqi laughed as he spoke, as if this was a story completely unrelated to her.

But that was not it, this matter was happening right in front of her eyes, the Great Qi was in chaos, Su Zeyi had finally made his move.

Yun Mengqi was still smiling, the fine lines at the corner of her eyes could be clearly seen: "Alright, alright, I won't talk about this with you anymore. Everything is going smoothly over at Zeyi's brother, I'll watch over you during this period, I won't let you run around everywhere."

Zhong Miao Yi was a little anxious when she heard about it. "Where's Ban Qiu?!"

"Of course he has his own things to do. As a weak girl, how can I go outside? I will definitely look after you properly. After all, you are the daughter of a despicable and shameless person who covets the throne. "I don't know." Yun Mengqi covered his mouth and laughed. After laughing for a while, he finally recovered his cold and indifferent face.

When they first met, Zhong Miao Yi had already forgotten about it.

She only remembered Yun Mengqi's laughter, carefree and carefree.

But now, that hearty laughter was filled with vicious poison. It would never be able to return to the feeling from back then.

Su Zeyi was still as ruthless, accurate, and fast as before. Every movement he made was a life threatening knife, ever since he was young, he had never failed once.

Perhaps the only accident and failure he had in his life was her, Zhong Miao Yi.

That was why he was willing to take another look at her now. However, this extra glance was far from enough to stop him.

Su Zeyi would never stop to do anything for anyone. There would be a day when Yun Mengqi would understand.
