Are they returning to the palace?

Yes, I was talking about this a few days ago.

At that time, she was in a hurry to go back. When she went back, she would be able to get rid of Su Zeyi and live a new life.

But now. Everything was different.

She suddenly didn't want to return to Luan. She was afraid of going back to Luan.

"You." She simply couldn't finish her sentence. Tang Yao was looking at her with such a serious expression on his face that she couldn't bear to part with him.

She couldn't bear to let him go. She was on the verge of losing control.

"What's wrong?" Tang Yao thought that she was still worried about Su Zeyi and consoled his, "Xiao Yao said that Brother Ze Yi left after just sitting down for a bit. Did he make you angry?"

Tang Yao's thoughts were very simple. Previously, he had clearly been opposing Su Zeyi because of his scheme, and later, he had even gotten back on track because of Su Zeyi helping her solve the crisis in her heart.

Tang Yao was very respectful to Su Zeyi and even worshipped him a little. The term "youth" was just right to describe Su Zeyi.

He didn't think about it in a particularly bad direction, which made the Zhong Miao Yi even more speechless.

"Don't be tired, you. "You have to be fine."

This was the last thing she could say with concern. After tonight, she would most likely be a stranger to him.

She wasn't in a good mood right now, so Tang Yao didn't go overboard and pursue this matter.「 Alright, I'll be going now. You eat some food later. You're too thin, so my heart hurts.」

Zhong Miao Yi agreed to it one by one.

She didn't get up to send off Tang Yao. Instead, she forced herself not to look at him, nor to think about those warm scenes that had just occurred to her.

She wanted to pretend that she had never met Tang Yao before.

She had to force herself not to hold him, not to cry.

Tang Yao had already been gone for a long time, but she was still unable to forgive herself.

"Princess." Xiao Yao helped her up and sat down, then asked carefully: "Princess, are you hungry?"

"What time is it?"

"It's already the turn of the year, Princess." This sleep had indeed been for a long time, but Zhong Miao Yi did not feel hungry at all.

She put down her thoughts, lifted the quilt and shoes. "Pack your things, I don't have much."

As soon as he finished his sentence, a mama came from outside and called out in a low voice, "Princess, Princess Miaoyi."

Xiao Yao stood up to open the door for the mama, welcoming her in with a smile. "Why is the mama here?"

"Senior, no need to be so polite." Zhong Miao Yi asked Xiao Yao to help the mama up and down, but the mama said that there was no need.

"Princess, we'll be returning to Luan City tomorrow. The Emperor has instructed us to leave early in the morning and let Princess pack up her things so that she can rest early."

She only had a few changes of clothes and some jewelry.

Xiao Yao packed very quickly, the two small bags already finished packing the things inside. She looked around the room once more, and without anything else, she walked over to Zhong Miao Yi and said: "Princess, you should eat something, you should be hungry at night."

It was windy and cold outside. She nodded slightly. "Alright."

Actually, eating was secondary. She only felt that her heart was already so empty. Wouldn't it be too pitiful if she didn't eat more?

She had promised Tang Yao that she would be fine, and he had also promised her. In that case, they would have to live on in peace, be it by relying on each other or the Heavens.

Xiao Yao moved extremely quickly, the food had already been prepared long ago, they would be served the moment they were heated up. The dishes were extremely delicious, and because the emperor had specially looked after them, Zhong Miao Yi had not been made difficult by them on terms of food and clothing.

Xiao Yao gave her a bowl of soup: "Princess, warm up your stomach, I have a bit of an appetite."

She obediently drank without leaving a single drop, but the more she drank, the weirder Xiao Yao felt her princess was.

She couldn't be considered to have followed the Zhong Miao Yi for a long time, but it wasn't considered short either. I heard that there was once a palace maid who had served her, and for some reason, she was gone.

The Zhong Miao Yi treated her very well, and she wasn't trying to win him over. She had truly switched her heart with her own, so when Xiao Yao saw the cold and indifferent reaction from the very beginning, to the current state of quiet tolerance, she felt too much empathy and heartache.

She did not dare to ask carelessly, as she was afraid of hurting Zhong Miao Yi's worries. She could only smile and serve her food, saying that this was good, eating more, that was also good, eating more.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Miao Yi did not say much, and really started eating just like that. She, who normally could only eat a small bowl of rice, actually ate two full bowls of food today, which even frightened Xiao Yao.

After eating dinner, Zhong Miao Yi stood alone in the courtyard. Tonight, there were no stars, and even the moon was half covered by thick layers of clouds. The courtyard was not bright at all.

"Princess, the wind is very strong tonight. I'm afraid it will rain tonight." Xiao Yao came out with a shawl in his hands. He did not know what his princess was looking at.

"Yeah, it's going to rain now that there aren't any stars. How can there be so many clear skies?" She suddenly exclaimed with tears in her eyes.

Xiao Yao adjusted her cape: "The wind is too strong, don't stand for too long Princess."

"I won't be able to have such a leisurely time after I return. Let me take a look." It was as if she was sighing from the depths of her soul. Xiao Yao's hands paused for a bit, and in the end, no longer tried to persuade her.

She felt that her princess was overthinking things. If she were to marry Tang Zheng in the future, how could she be afraid that she would not have time to relax?

Zhong Miao Yi really stood there for a long time. Only when the light of the candles outside the courtyard was extremely weak did she move her legs that were already numb.

Xiao Yao, who had been watching the Zhong Miao Yi by the door, caught up to her the moment he saw any movement from her. "Princess, are you tired? Let's go and rest. "

Zhong Miao Yi nodded her head this time and did not try to shirk responsibility. She would bury this feeling deep in her heart and never bring it up again.

As long as she was obedient enough, Su Zeyi would not make things difficult for Tang Yao or the Tang Family. She was not afraid of anything.

In the middle of the night, as expected, rain began to fall outside. Zhong Miao Yi was already restless.

The room was dark, and the only thing that could be seen was the candlelight in the hallway outside the door.

The palace was quiet. Everyone was sleeping peacefully, but she could not fall asleep again.

"Princess Wan An."

That day, when the willow branches in the Imperial Garden flew about, he bowed to her. When he raised his eyes, his facial expression was like a painting. The sudden smile of a graceful youth was especially pleasing to the eyes.

Unfortunately for her, it would be even harder for her to live.
