C208 I came late

After passing through the long corridor, they came to an arch. This road was empty and there were only weeds along the way. There weren't even any flowers planted.

Zhong Miao Yi walked straight in and stopped in her tracks in an instant.

She had thought of many reunions and had also imagined the current appearance of countless Concubine Xian in her mind.

However, after actually seeing it, he realized that the things he imagined were all meaningless.

She saw a person sleeping on a recliner in the courtyard. The reclining chair made out of wooden rattan was covered in a thick and soft blanket. The Concubine Xian was lying on the reclining chair, while a corner of her clothes was revealed.

The Empress did not wear any jewellery, and there were many more marks of time on her face. However, with just a single glance from afar, Zhong Miao Yi was able to confirm that this was the Concubine Xian of the past.

When the gentle breeze blew, Zhong Miao Yi didn't know how long she had stood there and watched. Her eyes trembled as she leisurely opened them. She seemed to be in a trance for a few seconds, then blinked her eyes and shifted her body to a comfortable sitting position. Her peripheral vision found someone at the door.

In that moment, Zhong Miao Yi felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

Concubine Xian's eyes were filled with surprise, and very quickly, it turned into joy.

"Miaoyi?" She opened her mouth and called out her name, as if she were still the same person from before.

Zhong Miao Yi slightly nodded her head as tears gushed out of her eyes. She wanted to say something, but in the end, all she could do was choke back a sob.

Consort Xian looked her up and down, and her eyes slowly became moist, "You." When are you? "

Zhong Miao Yi raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face. She sniffed and walked towards Xian Fei. "I've just arrived and am just walking around. I want to see if I can meet the Empress."

Halfway through, she couldn't continue.

Only then did Zhong Miao Yi could see that her clothes, which were made of coarse sackcloth, had been washed until they were white.

She had a lot of white hair on her temples, and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes were visible.

Perhaps it was because he was pregnant with a child, but he looked a bit fuller than before, and the luster on his face was also quite good.

"You came all this way, Sue. Su Zeyi didn't say anything? " Consort Xian glanced outside but saw no one. He then asked her in a low voice.

If not for the fact that she was under a roof, Zhong Miao Yi would not have wanted to call her 'Your Majesty'.

"He promised me long ago, Empress. Miaoyi is useless. " Zhong Miao Yi felt very uncomfortable in her heart. She reached out and held the Concubine Xian's hand, still as warm as before.

The Concubine Xian laughed, her expression somewhat gloomy. "How is this your fault. I watched that child of the Su Clan grow up, and now that he's like this, it's also his own ability. I already knew that he wasn't someone who'd fall into the pond, but I didn't expect things to be like this."

Zhong Miao Yi lowered her eyes, "I came late, the Empress has suffered."

Consort Xian didn't want to hear her reproach, so she pulled her to her stomach and said, "Look, he grew up safe and sound. He's your little brother. In the future, I'll entrust him to you. Take him away from this place."

Zhong Miao Yi could feel that a brand-new life was being born, and very soon, he would be coming to this world.

He had nothing, only a useless Elder Sis like her.

Zhong Miao Yi blinked her eyes and choked back her tears. "Empress, I know."

Hearing Zhong Miao Yi's words, Consort Xian nodded her head in consolation.

She knew that the Zhong Miao Yi was here to accompany her on her final journey. In the final years, she would still be able to see the Zhong Miao Yi and speak her mind.

She knew that it must have taken a lot of effort for the Zhong Miao Yi to come here. Back then, in order to protect this child, the Zhong Miao Yi did whatever it took to make her a good wife, but she was sincerely grateful to the Zhong Miao Yi.

As long as her child was alive, she was willing to do anything.

Everyone could be the child's mother, but she was the only one who could die for the child.

The two of them had just chatted for a while when they saw the aunt who opened the door rushing in. When she saw Zhong Miao Yi, she was startled for a moment, then heaved a sigh of relief: "So the noble person is here, it's good that she's here.

Zhong Miao Yi came back to reality: "Aunt, can you help me tidy up a room in Concubine Xian? I want to accompany Concubine Xian. "

Aunt did not expect Zhong Miao Yi to make such a request, and subconsciously glanced at Xian Fei.

Consort Xian nodded her head, "Let Miaoyi accompany me, Aunt Sun."

Only then did Aunt Sun come down, and went out to find someone to clean up the room. At the same time, she also told Ah Jiu where the Zhong Miao Yi was, so that she wouldn't look around crazily.

The Zhong Miao Yi smiled apologetically: "I didn't think about it too much, I've caused everyone so much trouble."

Consort Xian stared at her, "I heard the Aunt Sun call you noble?!"

The Zhong Miao Yi smiled with helplessness. "I can only be a noble."

"Where's your child?!" The Concubine Xian frowned, "How can he be just a noble?!" Is Su Zeyi crazy? You are his principal wife! "

"There can only be one empress in the palace." Zhong Miao Yi stopped smiling. "I am the daughter of a useless monarch. Behind her is the empress dowager and her child. It's also gone. "

Consort Xian was frightened, thinking that she had misheard, "The child is gone? How could that be? Isn't it fine? "

The Zhong Miao Yi pursed her lips, "Empress understands. He just ascended the throne, I can't have children."

That's right, he could not have, a reason was enough, he needed a queen who was righteous enough to serve the masses, if she had a child, she would have to give it to Yun Mengqi as well.

Yun Mengqi. Su Zeyi could not let her have children either.

These two principal wives fought around the Palace. In the end, they were just chess pieces that had been schemed against by Su Zeyi.

Concubine Xian's eyes were filled with heartache. She really didn't understand why so much suffering fell on the same person and why it was hard for her. After such a huge change, she even managed to survive.

In fact, at that time, he even protected her and the trashy lord, allowing her to give birth to this child.

It was too difficult.

Her life was too difficult.

Consort Xian couldn't speak for a long time, she could only hold Zhong Miao Yi's hand and sigh, not daring to continue kissing him.

"It's good that you're here." Consort Xian sighed with emotion. The more women in the palace, the more trouble there would be. It was good for her to avoid trouble, at least not so many troublesome people and matters.

Zhong Miao Yi was still not happy, she could only force out a smile, "Yes, it's good to be able to hide for a while." After saying that, she paused for a moment, "What about him?"
