C225 mutual dependence

How did he get the secret back then? Naturally, he had to figure out how to get it now.

Zhong Miao Yi sat in the carriage, holding the child who was sleeping soundly.

Ah Jiu watched on from the side. Ever since she got on the carriage, she had been in a daze.

Just now, when he saw Zhong Miao Yi carrying her child and walking away, the expression on her father-in-law's face could be said to be very interesting.

Speculation, disdain, even mockery.

Zhong Miao Yi saw it, but she didn't care about it at all. After returning to the palace, she would endure thousands of times more than this.

The Zhong Miao Yi herself was not afraid of anything, but she was worried for this child.

"How long until the capital?" Zhong Miao Yi asked woodenly. The carriage swayed and she was already uncomfortable, but now she was on the verge of collapse.

But she couldn't. She had to stay awake and guard the child.

She didn't have time to think about names yet, but she wasn't in a hurry. You can take it slowly.

"Not yet. If we keep walking forward, we will be out of Changning soon." Ah Jiu lifted the curtain to take a look. At this rate, he should be able to return to the palace in the evening.

It would be good to return later. He could at least rest well today. He did not need to return just now to face the overwhelming fear and doubt.

The Zhong Miao Yi did not trust Su Zeyi, so perhaps he could help her correct her name, saying that he agreed to help the Zhong Miao Yi take care of this child.

However, he could not help with the other difficulties.

Zhong Miao Yi was not afraid of others, she was more worried about Yun Mengqi and Empress Dowager Xi.

Would they just let it go? No, they would only kill her after a great shock.

How could this harem have a child of a useless monarch? Having a daughter was one thing, but she was also a son!

Zhong Miao Yi squeezed out a mouthful of impure air from her chest. She felt that her chest was now filled with a gloomy and murky gas, blocking all paths of escape.

Ah Jiu couldn't truly understand the feeling she was experiencing in her heart, but she knew that the word "son" was enough to turn the harem upside down.

Su Zeyi was probably too much in debt, and could not afford to pay it back. He knew that he could not afford to pay it back in his entire life, so he could only do this, and think of it as paying back as much as he could.

Zhong Miao Yi looked at the child in her arms. This child was her younger brother, so she had to call him brother-in-law.

Could the palace have guessed it already? Zhong Miao Yi didn't have the energy to think about it, Empress Dowager Xi's fury was already within expectations.

Even if the East Empress Dowager wanted to speak up for the Zhong Miao Yi, she was afraid that it wouldn't have any actual use. In the imperial harem, the Empress Dowager was the person who could cover the sky with one hand.

The Zhong Miao Yi did not believe that Su Zeyi would let the Empress Dowager let him continue to act so arrogantly. It was just that he needed the Zhou family right now, so he could only rely on them.

Everyone was well aware of many things. As long as it was someone with a little bit of intelligence, they would be able to think of them clearly.

Zhong Miao Yi did not care about this, it was a good thing that she was injured. At least Su Zeyi would put her in a disadvantaged position, and she would need more protection. This situation was extremely urgent for her.

Ah Jiu wanted to help Zhong Miao Yi carry this child, but she was unwilling to do so. Her hands had already become completely stiff, but she didn't care.

When they were about to reach the capital, there were already a lot of pedestrians. The noise outside woke the child up, he wriggled his body, Zhong Miao Yi also changed her hand, allowing him to relax.

Zhong Miao Yi was afraid that he would cry, so she did not coax him, because every time it was Aunt Sun who coaxed the child well.

He pursed his lips and whined twice. Zhong Miao Yi's heart suddenly tightened.

"Don't cry. "Don't cry." She lightly patted the child's back. It didn't look like she was coaxing, but more like she was begging.

It was a good thing that the child had eaten his fill before he left. What needed to be changed had also been washed clean. If nothing went wrong, there wouldn't be any big problems before he returned to the palace.

Aunt Sun had always been reluctant to part with this child, but in the end, when she saw the child in Zhong Miao Yi's hands, she said it very straightforwardly.

This was probably what my aunt meant when she said that she did well and taught Zhong Miao Yi a lot of things.

Fortunately, after snoring twice, the child fell back to sleep. Zhong Miao Yi was worried and relieved.

Afraid that the noise would become louder after entering the city, Zhong Miao Yi brought the child closer to him and covered her ears with her other hand.

He slept soundly, and the baby, who knew nothing, was undoubtedly happy at the moment.

He only needed to sleep soundly. No matter what happened next, it would not leave a single trace in his memory.

The carriage gradually sped up. As the sky darkened, Ah Jiu lifted the curtain to take a look and saw that they had already entered the capital. There were only a few people at the outskirts of the imperial city.

The Zhong Miao Yi hugged her child in a daze. The closer they got to the palace, the more intense this feeling of mutual dependence became.

The Zhong Miao Yi had already prepared for the worst, and it was impossible for Su Zeyi to let her go. He wanted him to live, no matter who she was, no matter what scheme she had in mind, Su Zeyi wanted her to live.

If anyone wanted this child to die, then the Zhong Miao Yi would drag someone to die with him!

A person who did not care for his own life was the scariest.

The palace was filled with people who cherished life and fortune. They lived like princes and dreamed beautiful dreams of being pampered.

No one was there, so it didn't matter if he went crazy once when it was necessary.

In any case, this was how things were. If she couldn't compete with her status, power, or wealth, then she could only fight with her life on the line. She only wished for a way out of this predicament.

She did not hope for Su Zeyi to protect her to the end, nor did she hope for Su Zeyi to consider everything for her. No one could understand the principle of self-reliance better than the Zhong Miao Yi.

The surrounding noise died down, and very soon it became quiet. Only the squeaking of the wheels could be heard.

Zhong Miao Yi's heart was beating very quickly. She felt the carriage turn around, and lifted the curtain to take a look. It should be to the east side door to avoid the empress dowager's palace and the empress's palace.

Su Zeyi had already thought about it.

Zhong Miao Yi didn't know whether she felt gratified or not. At least, he had promised her, and was truly considering these things for her.

If not for Su Zeyi, it was impossible for her to take this child away. He must be feeling guilty because he had personally killed Zhong Miao Yi's own son.

In the end, he was not his own son. There was always a way to block the mouth of the world.

The horse carriage stopped for a moment, and the eunuch and the young eunuch at the door came to a halt. The horse carriage changed into a sedan, and Zhong Miao Yi sat inside.
