A long while after Fu Qing left, Song Yao's body was still covered in goosebumps.
"I really can't take it anymore. Why did you suddenly say that?"
Gongsun Xiao said helplessly: "Forget it, I can't win against you." He raised his head and saw Song Yao struggling to walk towards the door, and asked curiously: "What do you want to do with your current state?"
Song Yao said: "If you want to look in the mirror, see if my appearance is good or not."
Gongsun Xiao: "... Forget it, if I continue to stay with you, sooner or later I'll be angered to death. Just wait by yourself, I still have matters to take care of.
Song Yao answered: "I understand."
"Huh?" Song Yao let out a puzzled voice. Gongsun Xiao also frowned and asked: "Did you say what you want?"
The butler replied: "I didn't say it explicitly, I only said that I wanted to see Miss Song."
"See you?" Gongsun Xiao turned and asked Song Yao.
Song Yao said uncertainly: "Is it about the crown prince? But why not me? This is weird. "
Gongsun Xiao said: "Butler, let him in."
After the butler accepted the order, Song Yao turned to Gongsun Xiao and said: "Since you've already taken responsibility for me, why are you asking me?"
Gongsun Xiao shrugged: "I ask you, if you are not willing, then directly reject it. Didn't you say it like that to make it clear that you want to see her?"
Song Yao laughed out loud. "You really do understand me."
Gongsun Xiao declined to comment.
Xie Yang's clothes were the same as usual, and her expression was the same as usual.
"Greetings, master Hou." He cupped his fists in greeting, showing rare courtesy.
"You're looking for Song Yao?" Gongsun Xiao asked.
Xie Yang replied, "Yes."
Song Yao said: "Is it about the crown prince?"
Xie Yang shook her head and said, "This is my personal matter. I have a small matter that I wish to ask of you, Miss Song."
Song Yao was stunned for a long time before she said: "Ah?"
Gongsun Xiao noticed that he was not in a good position, and said: Since it is a private matter, I will not disturb you, go ahead, I will take my leave first.
"Thank you for your understanding." Xie Yang said.
Gongsun Xiao laughed: "I'm not asking for help, why would I stop you?"
Song Yao: "..." Watching Gongsun Xiao swagger out, she really felt bitter in her heart.
"I feel like the sun is coming out from the west today. I can't believe you have something to ask of me, Defender Xie."
Xie Yang suddenly lifted the hem of her robes and knelt down on one knee. "Xie Yang has a presumptuous request to ask of you. For the sake of our past relationship, I would like to ask you to do me a favor."
Song Yao was extremely frightened by his actions and anxiously asked: Why are you kneeling to me? Get up! I'll agree to whatever you say, but don't be like this. I will lose my life like this. Hurry up and get up. "
She wanted to bend down and support Xie Yang, but this action was too difficult for her right now, so she excitedly said, "Quickly get up. If you get up, I'll promise you anything."
Xie Yang took the opportunity to stand up: "I hope that Miss Song can help me advise Zhou Miao, she hasn't left the house for a long time, her father has been demoted, and she has not come to court for a long time. She has trapped herself in the house, and hasn't seen anyone for a long time. "She is not too open-minded. I'm afraid that something might happen to her if she doesn't think of it."
Song Yao exclaimed after hearing it, "What did you say?"
Xie Yang said, "You seem to be her only friend. I've been there a few times, but she refused to see me. I can only come up with this plan."
It was only then that Song Yao finally realized that she had forgotten about Zhou Miao's existence. She should be feeling guilty and sad about it now.
When she thought of this, she suddenly felt that she was being cruel. She had asked for help during the investigation and had ignored it after. Moreover, she had harmed 800 of her own methods, even though she did not know anything about it.
"I understand. I will go and see her, don't worry." Song Yao said.
Xie Yang said, "Thank you very much."
Song Yao said: "Help me call a taxi, I …" She turned to tidy up, but when she turned around, the pain in her waist shot up to her head, and she was instantly drenched in sweat.
"What's wrong?" Xie Yang supported her as she asked in concern.
"My waist is injured." Song Yao explained.
Xie Yang was stunned for a moment before saying, "Then we'll wait for your injuries to recover."
Song Yao said: "No need, how about this, you go look for her, and say that I was accidentally injured by Zi Yanghou, and am now lying in the house of the Marquis with no one around to help me, and ask if she is willing to take care of me. If she is willing to come, she will definitely listen to me. If she is unwilling, then it will be useless for me to go. "
Xie Yang said in understanding, "If that's the case, then I understand."
"En, go quickly. I'm fine. It's just a superficial wound."
Xie Yang cupped her fists and said her goodbyes, Song Yao held onto the door and watched as his figure disappeared.
It looks like Xie Yang still cared a lot about Zhou Miao, but why didn't the two of them react when they were at jade smoke?
Could it be that it was the two of them meeting for the first time?
Song Yao sat in front of the table, feeling uneasy.
How could she have forgotten about such an important matter? Without even thinking, she knew that Zhou Miao was born from a concubine, that the biased father of hers would definitely blame all of her crimes on her, and she would definitely blame herself very much.
Actually, she wasn't that close to Zhou Miao, since the two of them hadn't known each other for long and such a big thing had happened between them, and both of them happened to be on the opposite side.
But sometimes making friends was just a matter of talking for a bit or two, and the length of time they spent together was not as long as the three views. She and Zhou Miao were actually quite similar.
But if Zhou Miao did not come, what should she do? No matter how impossible it was, what kind of identity would she need to use to deal with it?
The anxious waiting was really too difficult. Her waist didn't allow her to sit still, so she simply moved back onto the bed and quietly waited.
When the door was pushed open, Song Yao felt a joyous sensation that she hadn't felt in a long time.
"Miss Song!" It was Zhou Miao's voice, and it was a little hoarse, but it was indeed hers.
"Zhou Miao!" Song Yao shouted.
Zhou Miao was shocked by her voice. "Are you alright?"
Song Yao replied: There's something I need to ask, my waist is injured, so it's not very convenient for me to move about. They can't serve me well, and since they're depressed in their hearts, I want to chat with you.
Zhou Miao sat on the bedside and asked: "What's going on with you? Why did the Marquis hurt you? "
Song Yao thought for a while and said: "It's an accident, no one would have thought of it. I don't want to pursue it any further."
Zhou Miao nodded: "That's true."
Song Yao said: "How have you been recently! Why do I feel as though I have lost a lot of weight? "
Zhou Miao said: "Is that so? I didn't notice. "
"Hah." Zhou Miao laughed bitterly, and then said after a long while: "If it's gone, then it's gone, it's not important anymore."
