The palace's night path was always gloomy, Zhong Miao Yi did not follow the group, she was too tired to respond.
Ah Jiu had been talking to Zhong Miao Yi in a low voice the entire time. Such a voice made Zhong Miao Yi feel slightly more at ease, as she knew that there was someone beside him.
The journey back to the Eternal Nightfall Pavilion was very long. Zhong Miao Yi walked alone in the darkness, feeling somewhat scared and anxious.
There shouldn't be any cats around the palace. In the luxuriant night, Zhong Miao Yi seemed to suddenly hear a few cat meows.
"Did anyone in the palace raise a cat?" Zhong Miao Yi frowned and asked, she involuntarily pulled Ah Jiu's hand, and looked around.
The Ah Jiu was somewhat baffled. She listened carefully and said: "I've never heard of anyone raising a cat. What did master hear?"
Zhong Miao Yi nodded her head and sped up her pace: "I always felt that I was too cautious. I just heard a few cats meowing, it was very scary."
"The cat has probably fallen in love. Don't be afraid, master." Although the Ah Jiu said that, she knew that the wild cat was very ferocious. It would be bad if she was caught, so she also helped the Zhong Miao Yi move forward quickly.
She did not hear the wild cat's voice, but when Zhong Miao Yi said she did, he did not dare to let her guard down.
This path was very long, and after they passed through, they should be able to see a few palace maids and eunuchs patrolling the area.
Halfway there, Ah Jiu also heard a cat meow. It was really scary.
Where did this come from?
Or could it be that they didn't walk at night, so they didn't know?
However, all the servants in the palace could be cleaned at any time, so how could there be?
Now was not the time to think about this. Hearing the cat's cry, he seemed to be a little closer to them. Ah Jiu suddenly steadied his footsteps and pulled at Zhong Miao Yi: "Master, from that cry, do you want to go around the corner?"
The Zhong Miao Yi was silent for a while. To return to the palace, she had to go this way, the Zhong Miao Yi had no other choice.
She stood there, hesitating for a moment.
Just as he was about to tell the Ah Jiu whether she should leave or not, a scream came from the side before she could say anything.
The voice sounded familiar, but at that moment, he could not recall who it belonged to.
Zhong Miao Yi was shocked and subconsciously took a step back. Then, the place became bustling as if something had happened.
Zhong Miao Yi struggled a bit, but in the end, she gritted her teeth and walked out to take a look.
The one who fell from the carriage was Zhou Xu. She was clutching her stomach, and all the girls beside her were panicking.
Zhong Miao Yi walked up quickly, wanting to see if she was alright. If she fell down like that, would the child still be there?!
However, Zhou Xu did not seem to bleed, only saying that she had a stomachache.
When Zhong Miao Yi appeared, it was as if the servants had found a master. She beckoned for Zhou Xu to be lifted up again and hurried back to the palace. Another eunuch was needed to go invite the imperial physician over.
Zhong Miao Yi didn't know why she had to meddle in Zhou Xu's business, but the image of Zhou Xu clutching her stomach and crying out in pain was intertwined with some of the shattered pieces from before, causing her to be unable to help but pay attention.
After returning to the palace, Zhou Xu's condition was somewhat better. She lay on the bed, clamoring that she would go ask for the emperor.
Zhong Miao Yi told all the servants to get off and sat beside Zhou Xu: "How did you fall down?"
Zhou Xu's face was twisted: "Someone wants to harm me! Those people! All of them wanted to harm me! "
She was a little extreme and kept saying it.
Zhong Miao Yi sighed, and did not continue asking. She said that she wanted to ask for the Emperor's help, but was stopped by Zhong Miao Yi.
"What do you think the emperor can do? Do you want the Emperor to see your ghastly appearance? " In the end, Zhong Miao Yi still could not bear to listen. She roared and sure enough, Zhou Xu immediately calmed down.
Su Zeyi. Would he want to see her like this?
Zhou Fu thought about it, and it seemed that she was unwilling to let Su Zeyi see it for herself.
When the imperial physician arrived, Zhou Xu had already stopped quarreling. What she should be worried about now was the child in her womb.
Fortunately, the child was still alive, and he had only used his fetal Qi, which would have made the fall a little heavier. This time, Zhou Xu was lucky, and just happened to lift it up when the people who were carrying the carriage landed, so the impact was not that great.
The child was still here, so even if the stone in Zhou Xu's heart had dropped, the Imperial Physician urged her to lie on the bed and rest. She had to take medicine for at least a week before the child could stabilize again.
Zhou Xu nodded her head in agreement, and waited until she had left before looking at Zhong Miao Yi: "Why are you there?!"
Her tone was not good, and Zhong Miao Yi raised her eyebrows. The matter that she was worried about happened so quickly, it was truly a bit ironic.
"What, you suspect me now? Is there any evidence for your suspicion? If not, you can't talk nonsense. " The Zhong Miao Yi opened his mouth indifferently, disagreeing with Zhou Xu's actions of biting into people whenever she saw an opportunity.
"Who else could it be other than you? Why did you appear when something happened to me? Do you think that this will allow us to clear our relationship?! " Zhou admitted that she had caused a bit of a ruckus.
But she was also really jealous of Zhong Miao Yi, she was just too angry, if she did not bite this, she would feel that her anger would not go well.
"I saved you." Zhong Miao Yi stood up, his eyes cold. "How did you fall in the end, you definitely know in your heart. When I return to the palace, I will definitely pass by you on that day, whether or not it was me who did this, you can't count it, right?"
The Zhong Miao Yi's tone was full of ridicule, as if Zhou Yu was a fool who could not even understand this logic.
Zhou Xu did not know how to refute, and said blankly, "That." What right do you have to say that you didn't do it? With just your mouth? Someone must believe that! "
At this point, other than being stubborn, it was also to admit her mistakes. Zhou Xu could not lower her head to Zhong Miao Yi, the arrow had already left her bow, and she could not take it back.
The Zhong Miao Yi did not say anything more. She did not know what to say to Zhou Xu, who was wholeheartedly thinking of slandering her.
"My Empress saved you with good intentions, and yet you still speak such words!?" If it wasn't for my Empress, who knows where you would still be! Your group of servants are all dumbfounded! Why don't you think about it! " The Ah Jiu supported the Zhong Miao Yi and finally couldn't bear to listen.
Zhong Miao Yi indicated for Ah Jiu not to speak anymore. She only thought of herself at that moment, how painful it would be to lose a child at that time, so she could not bear to bear it again.
Everyone felt pity for her. It wasn't easy for them either. She was the one who had acted mercifully in that instant.
But now, it seemed, there was no need for such mercy. What was the use of these things? The person who should bite you will still bite you.
The story of the farmer and the snake, she should have understood it earlier. If it was like this, she wouldn't be disgusted like she was now. It really made her feel uncomfortable all over.
