No matter how he explained, it would be futile. Yun Mengqi did not want to hear it, and perhaps, she did not want to hear it either.

Her first thought was that since she didn't know what was going on between and Zhong Miao Yi, she was going to torture her for not caring about anything else. These words were spoken softly and whispered in Tang Yao's ear, making it impossible for him to hear them.

After that, Yun Mengqi raised her eyebrows at the Zhong Miao Yi, then turned and left.

The empress dowager said that kneeling while the sun was at its most poisonous, had already cooled down at this time of day. Tang Yao choked from Yun Mengqi's anger, her knees hurt, and her head hurt.

After resting for a long time, Tang Yao finally felt much better and directly went over to hug Zhong Miao Yi.

Zhong Miao Yi quickly waved her hand to stop him. There were too many people here, so it was better not to go too far.

Madam Qing Xiu had been paying attention to them the whole time. When she saw Yun Mengqi talking to the two of them, she immediately sent someone to bring the green bean soup to him.

When Tang Yao stood up, she walked over with the soup. With a pained heart, she handed it over to him and Zhong Miao Yi. "You've been kneeling for so long, you must be in so much pain. Drink the soup and relieve the heat.

While talking, Zhong Miao Yi felt herself choking, and felt even more guilty.

"Madam." Just as she was about to get up and go kneel again, Tang Yao quickly caught her.

"What are you doing?! Doesn't your knee hurt?! " Tang Yao was starting to get anxious. What were they going to do tomorrow?!

"Madam, I was the one who implicated Tang Yao in this. You're going to scold me, aren't you? Hit me! It was all my fault that I ended up causing such a mess!" Zhong Miao Yi felt extremely guilty. If Madam Qing Xiu scolded her, she would feel better.

Yet Madam Ye was still as gentle as ever. She even prepared two servings of green bean soup to relieve the heat.

Madam Qing Xiu shook her head repeatedly after hearing what Zhong Miao Yi said. She held her hand and said, "Silly child, it's alright. Why would I scold you for hitting you? Stop talking, drink the soup and go back to rest! "

As he spoke, he used the embroidered cloth in his hand to wipe her sweat.

Tang Yao also chimed in, "Did she make things difficult for you again?" "After staying in the side palace for so long, the empress dowager should be returning to the luan as well. Wait for me there, I'll definitely obtain the emperor's decree as soon as possible."

Perhaps it was the heavens showing mercy, or perhaps the empress dowager really showed mercy. When they returned to their residence, the empress dowager's aunt suddenly came over and said there was no need to kneel anymore. In two days, she was prepared to return to Luan.

Zhong Miao Yi heaved a sigh of relief. This meant that the chances of her meeting with Su Zeyi would be even less.

She no longer wanted to be a pawn that Su Zeyi could play however he wanted, nor did she want to be the target of Yun Mengqi's revenge on purpose.

In the past two days, Zhong Miao Yi had kept herself locked in her room to write. Suddenly, when Su Zeyi came to her remote little courtyard, Xiao Yao followed his in with a jogging pace.

She was a little afraid of this cold Lord Su who had a straight face. When Zhong Miao Yi looked up and saw that it was him, she almost lost her pen.

Su Zeyi had been busy the whole time, trying to solve the problem of Yun Mengqi. How could he have the time to come to her place?

"You can leave." The familiarity of his command made her feel helpless.

But this time, she didn't want to let him be, "Xiao Yao is my personal maid, you don't have to avoid her if Lord Su has anything to say."

squinted his eyes, revealing a dangerous smile. "It's fine to stay here, but you're not afraid of embarrassment. Of course I'm not afraid of shame, right? "Wonderful."

Zhong Miao Yi's hair was all standing up, she looked at Su Zeyi warily, but he had already found a comfortable place to sit.

She was already unable to read much from Su Zeyi's gaze, but she knew that Su Zeyi would never lie.

Xiao Yao stood at the side, looking extremely nervous. The Zhong Miao Yi sighed and said softly, "Go brew a cup of tea for Lord Su."

Xiao Yao was stunned for two seconds, the second time Zhong Miao Yi said that she finally regained her senses, and quickly ran out.

Su Zeyi smiled lightly: Isn't it good that I let her out just now? "We have to grind and chatter for a bit, and we're still the only ones left."

"What are you doing?" Seeing that he did not move, the Zhong Miao Yi still sat there, casually sizing up her room, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.

「 I heard from Tang Yao that he's planning to marry you when we return to the capital?」 Su Zeyi raised his eyebrows, "Zhong Miao Yi, are you thinking that if you marry into the Tang Family, you'll be able to get rid of me?"

Zhong Miao Yi took a few steps back and took a deep breath, "This marriage was pointed out by the Emperor. Lord Su is worried too much, there is no bond between Lord Su and I, so how can we talk about getting rid of it?"

Su Zeyi was rarely not angry, but he was laughing loudly, to the point of being inexplicably scared.

"What are you laughing at?!" she asked him, her heart pounding.

Su Zeyi stopped with a taunting face and looked at Zhong Miao Yi. "Why don't you understand? Miao Yi, like I said, I haven't finished what you wanted to do, and I won't let you off. You owe me that, but it's far from over. "

Zhong Miao Yi only felt her heart being held tightly by a big hand, unable to catch a breath.

Su Zeyi was not willing to let her go. She used all of her strength to stay away from him, but he was not willing to.

She took a deep breath, and forced herself to calm down. "Lord Su, I don't owe you anything, but once the emperor has given us the order to get married, we can just keep our heads down and not cross the river, and everything will be clear from here on."

Coincidentally, Xiao Yao had brought tea with him when she entered, and only after seeing that her princess and this lord were at a sufficient distance from each other did she finally relax.

"Lord Su, please have some tea." She respectfully placed the teacup beside Su Zeyi and took a glance at Zhong Miao Yi's expression.

Zhong Miao Yi's face did not look too good, she waved her hand: "You can wait at the door."

After Xiao Yao left, she took a sip from her teacup and said with a frown, "Looks like the emperor is indeed very guilty towards you. Although your courtyard is remote, your ability to eat and dress up isn't bad at all.

"I don't understand Lord Su's words," she said. "I don't think there's anything wrong with marrying Tang Yao. Lord Su has finished drinking his tea, so please go back first."
