The heat was over.
During this period of time, the Courtyard was extremely busy.
Concubine Xian had to walk everyday. It was very tiring and heavy, but Aunt Sun said it was a must, otherwise, if one did not have strength to give birth to a child, that would be truly taking one's life.
At that time, one corpse and two lives would be lost. What could he do?
For this reason, Consort Xian always gritted her teeth and left. For the sake of the child, the mother was always selfless and great.
The crippled lord probably knew that this was the final period of Consort Xian's life as she accompanied her around the Courtyard.
Zhong Miao Yi followed behind, listening to their casual conversation.
"I remember, you used to love peach blossom cakes the most."
"I stopped eating long ago." Consort Xian's voice was gentle, with a hint of a smile. "Taking things isn't good for your child."
The Cripple Lord nodded, "You be careful."
Consort Xian slowly stopped and looked at a tree in the southern corner, lost in thought. "Master, it's almost time."
"Yeah, we're almost there." The Cripple nodded and took a deep breath.
At this moment, Consort Xian felt her heart become calm.
"The poplar trees in the royal garden at the palace are the best. There's no chance to look again." Consort Xian's faint voice drifted far away, causing Zhong Miao Yi's heart to clench.
The cripple didn't know what to say, so he could only watch it with her. After a while, Consort Xian smiled and said, "Let's go."
She walked very slowly. Along the way, she asked several times if she wanted to rest, but she always shook her head and said no.
Just how big was the Courtyard that Consort Xian never finished walking through. She didn't know what was going on today, but she stubbornly wanted to go through it once.
Zhong Miao Yi advised her not to walk for so long, but Concubine Xian had to go through it.
The crippled lord said that he could just accompany his concubine and let Zhong Miao Yi go back.
Zhong Miao Yi stopped in his tracks. Looking at the two of them supporting each other as they walked away, her throat was sore.
When they were at the palace, Consort Xian must have never been able to walk with the ruined monarch like this.
He had also never spoken to the cripple like this, because he was the Son of Heaven. They were not only the people on the pillow, but also the kings and the people.
Now, without the restriction of this layer of relationship, it was more like a pair of mummies.
She didn't follow anymore. Perhaps it would be more appropriate for the two of them to walk the rest of the way.
On the way back, Zhong Miao Yi met Ah Jiu who was about to go dry after washing her clothes. Ah Jiu bowed and greeted her, "Why have the noble people come back?
The Zhong Miao Yi did not make a sound, she took the barrel from the Ah Jiu's hands: "I'll do it."
After saying that, he quickly turned around and walked towards the empty land in front of him that was covered in sunlight.
The Ah Jiu did not stop them and followed behind, pulling the ropes together with the Zhong Miao Yi.
The two of them were drying things very quickly. It wouldn't take much effort for them to level it up.
Zhong Miao Yi stared at the scorched things in a daze, and suddenly said: "I don't want to go back."
Ah Jiu came back from the other side and did not hear it clearly just now, "What did your benefactor say?"
"I said I don't want to go back, I'd rather live here for the rest of my life!" These words were not filled with anger, but with a kind of fear that came from the bottom of his heart.
This time, she wasn't going back alone.
In the past, when she was alone, she didn't care, she didn't care about anything. If she wanted to kill or cut, she would choose whether she lived or died.
It's different now.
It was a child she was going to bring back.
Moreover, it was a child she wanted to raise. A woman in the palace, once she had a child, her status would have a fundamental change!
This was her little brother. Even if Su Zeyi agreed, wouldn't the women of the harem become crazy because of jealousy?
What awaited her was a storm of blood and a storm of blood. What awaited the unborn child was an open fire and an open fire.
A dead end.
This was the only adjective that could be thought of in the Zhong Miao Yi.
Returning to the palace was a path of death. Either they died, or the Zhong Miao Yi died.
She didn't want to fight. She only wanted to live a simple life. Why was it so difficult? Who could she rely on? Who could she rely on? There was still a child waiting for her to take care of.
She absolutely could not fall down.
The Ah Jiu did not know why the Zhong Miao Yi had suddenly said such words, but luckily, no one was around. If someone had heard, they would have passed the message to the palace, or even say that she was planning something evil, "My dear friend, even the Ah Jiu knows, but my dear one must not speak such words again. You are my dear man, if you do not go back, where else can you go?"
Yeah. Where else could he go? This was the most desperate place.
When you find out that you can't go anywhere and can't escape no matter what, that's when you get the most desperate.
Zhong Miao Yi crouched down and hugged her chest, "Ah Jiu, do you know that the Empress is about to give birth to a child? Even he knew that the Empress doesn't have many days left, so she stayed with me all day long. I'm really afraid, you know, I couldn't do it when Su Zeyi told me to personally send the Empress away. I thought I could, but now I know, I can't.
Ah Jiu was so scared that she could not seem to control her emotions. She went forward and hugged Zhong Miao Yi, gently patting her on the back: "Friend, this is not your fault, it is not your fault. Since things have turned out like this, you have done your best. At least the child is still here. "
Zhong Miao Yi allowed the tears to flow recklessly down her face. She wasn't trying her best, but was trying her best.
What a helpless reality. She truly didn't want to admit that she was currently in such a state of reality.
The Aunt Sun told her that only those who had the money would be able to see better.
She had given up so much, lost so much, but what had she gained?
Where was it that God had given her? She couldn't see, really couldn't.
"Ah Jiu, I miss him." Zhong Miao Yi's voice was filled with sorrow, "But he can't help me anymore, I can't see him anymore."
Ah Jiu didn't know who the person Zhong Miao Yi was talking about was, so he could only hug her and give her some power.
Zhong Miao Yi closed her eyes. The memory of that young and tender face was already somewhat blurry.
She still remembered that back then, she had been like this and had been bullied by Su Zeyi as she curled up at the door.
He walked quickly past, then stopped and called her name.
"Princess Miaoyi?"
She looked up and met his bright eyes.
He had treated her so tenderly, loved her so sincerely, that everything that happened after had become nothing in her eyes.
If she knew that this was destined to be a lifetime of missed memories, she would have chosen the start to not have such warm memories. It was precisely because she had been deeply loved that they had relied on this memory to live well, and because they couldn't bear to let him be under Su Zeyi's control, they had to rely on this memory.
