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?
