When the empress dowager finished interrogating her, she was already rather tired. She glanced at the emperor and said softly, "Does Your Majesty's heart ache for such a punishment?"

If you were to speak of heartache at this time, it would only add insult to injury to injury on Zhong Miao Yi.

The Emperor shook his head and sighed. "Since Imperial Mother has already made her decision, let us leave it at this. It's late at night. Imperial Mother should rest early. All of you should rest early as well."

After the Imperial Consort De bowed to the empress dowager, she also followed the emperor's footsteps out. When she passed by the empress dowager, her steps didn't stop for a moment, and she smiled slightly.

Following the departure of the empress dowager and Yun Mengqi, the others also dispersed with their discussions, leaving Zhong Miao Yi and Tang Yao kneeling in the hall.

Tang Yao helped the Zhong Miao Yi up and sat him down. He glanced at Xiao Yao, whose swollen face was holding back her tears and said, "Don't cry anymore. Apply some medicine.

Xiao Yao glanced at Zhong Miao Yi, who had a lifeless look in his eyes. She felt very at ease with Tang Yao's attitude and bowed, "Yes, My Princess will depend on Young Master Tang."

With only the two of them left, the Zhong Miao Yi thought that Tang Yao would still ask her what had happened. She originally didn't want to implicate anyone, so she didn't think that it would implicate Tang Yao in any way.

"I'm sorry." She opened her mouth and sighed, "You should not have interfered with me. Yun Mengqi's temper is like that, you protecting me like this is not good for you."

Tang Yao, on the other hand, didn't take it to heart. "Then, how can I just sit by and watch you receive your punishment?" You and I are already tied together. What's the difference between you being punished and me being punished? With me accompanying you, you will no longer be alone. From today onwards, you will no longer be alone. No matter how others slander you, I still believe that you will not do that sort of thing. "

The more unconditionally he trusted her, the more she felt he wasn't worthy of a good man like Tang Yao.

She had never been valued like this before. Tang Yao held her hand and said, "Don't worry, once you marry into my family, there won't be anyone who will bully you and make things difficult for you. I won't marry anyone else, nor will I make you feel wronged."

Originally, Zhong Miao Yi didn't want to cry. However, Tang Yao's camaraderie towards her made her unable to refrain from being moved. Her nose soured as she nodded her head, saying, "Thank you, Tang Yao." Thank you so much. "

She could only spend the rest of her life to repay Tang Yao for his sincerity. Even if he broke today's oath and married another girl back, she wouldn't have any complaints. When she needed him the most, he would stand on her side.

She could not be greedy. She should not be greedy.

"It's already too late, you still need to receive punishment tomorrow. But don't be afraid, I'll come pick you up tomorrow." Tang Yao pulled her up. He was afraid that she wouldn't be able to sleep at night, so he even specially instructed her, "You have to rest well. If I see that you're in a bad mood tomorrow, I'll be very sad. I'm very worried."

Zhong Miao Yi nodded, his palm was very warm, making people feel at ease.

Different from Su Zeyi, Su Zeyi was an extremely ambitious and powerful person. She couldn't tell whether it was due to power that made his ambitions, or his ambition that made his power.

But Su Zeyi would not easily give up his future path to offend the empress dowager for a woman.

He saw the situation too clearly. He wouldn't do something as impulsive as Tang Yao.

The Zhong Miao Yi used to think that to Su Zeyi, she was the one that was special. It was only later that she found out that to Su Zeyi, chess pieces were just chess pieces.

Even if Su Zeyi had true love, it was not something she could see.

The two chatted for a while before calming down. Her situation had already reached such a state, so how bad could it possibly be?

It was only because Su Zeyi had helped her twice that Yun Mengqi had been in such a hurry to take revenge on his. From today onwards, she only needed to stay away from Su Zeyi.

After returning to the capital, she would be hiding in the imperial harem, so Su Zeyi wouldn't be able to threaten her anymore.

She believed that Tang Yao would soon be able to propose and marry into the Tang Clan. Currently, he was the only person in the Zhong Miao Yi who had any hope left.

Xiao Yao was already waiting for Zhong Miao Yi to boil some hot water. After Tang Yao left, the Zhong Miao Yi pulled Xiao Yao to the side and asked, "Did you apply the medicine?" Does it hurt? Follow me. "I've wronged you too much."

Just as Xiao Yao stopped crying, she heard Zhong Miao Yi's words and started sobbing: "This servant is fine, being able to follow the princess is my fortune, quickly wash up and rest, I have already smeared medicine on my body, my life is extremely fat, I just got beaten up."

Zhong Miao Yi sighed, she could not even protect herself, let alone Xiao Yao. She was really afraid that the empress dowager would kill Xiao Yao out of anger, as Xiao Yao had followed her ever since she entered the palace, and she only had this one servant who was sincere, who had long treated Xiao Yao as her little sister.

Even though Tang Yao had promised him that he would take a good rest, his heart was full of worries when he was really in bed. How could he possibly be sleeping?

It was now impossible for her to know how the matriarch, whom she had never met before, had died, and it was even more impossible for her to know who had sent her out of the palace, or how they had been picked up by Su Zeyi at the entrance of the palace.

Everything was a mystery to her.

In the past, her world was very simple. There were only Su Zeyi and Qingge, who would dress up when they needed her to do something.

She was the most famous Courtesan Belle in the capital, someone who had risked everything just to watch her dance. She was the best chess piece in Su Zeyi's hands, and she had many times been unable to differentiate between her feelings for Su Zeyi.

She didn't have any family, she only had Su Zeyi. Doing things for him was just a way to repay him.

Many times, she was at a loss. Actually, she did not know what she had done or what the information she had obtained was. It was too fragmented and could not be pieced together.

Entering the palace was not an accident, it was carefully arranged by Su Zeyi.

He knew that the emperor would definitely like him the moment he saw him, but he never thought that the emperor liked the Zhong Miao Yi not because of her beauty but because she looked like the deceased Imperial Consort Zhong.

But at that time, no matter what it was, Su Zeyi could just enter the palace.

She was a chess piece, a chess piece. You don't need to have feelings of your own.

Her biggest mistake was that she had too many different feelings and took herself too seriously. That was why she was covered in injuries.
