Su Zeyi stared at her as if he was watching a play. He always liked to look at her in this way.

In Su Zeyi's eyes, she would forever be that Courtesan Belle of the Qingge, a performer of the Flowing Immortal Palace.

Zhong Miao Yi took a deep breath. She finished her soup and told the Emperor that many people had already left.

It was already dark outside, so she found a quiet corner. The Emperor didn't have much time to come to the estate, so the stairs under the porch were filled with weeds and fragrant dandelion flowers. She didn't mind being dirty.

"You were here!"

Zhong Miao Yi's heart sank. Only after she had restrained the smile on her face did she slowly stand up and look back at her.

Yun Mengqi came over alone. She crossed her arms over her chest and proudly stood on the stairs looking down at Zhong Miao Yi. "I don't care what kind of relationship you had with Zeyi's brother in the past! But don't you pester the Zeyi's brother! He's mine! "

Zhong Miao Yi pursed her lips. If possible, she hoped that she didn't have anything to do with Su Zeyi.

"If you like Su Zeyi, there won't be a good end to it." The Zhong Miao Yi warned her with good intentions, she did not want to have any conflicts with her, so she prepared to leave through Yun Mengqi.

Who knew that Yun Mengqi would suddenly become so fierce, when Zhong Miao Yi had just walked up the stairs, she suddenly reached out her hands and pushed them away, "You're not allowed to say bad things about Zeyi's brother! Who do you think will get away scot-free?! "

Caught off guard, Zhong Miao Yi screamed and rolled down the stone steps. There, he saw a pile of weeds, and the dense and small stones inside instantly cut through her dress, causing her to be in so much pain that she couldn't crawl back up.

It seemed as if his ankle had been twisted. Just a slight movement would cause a heart-wrenching pain.

Yun Mengqi was shocked, she obviously did not expect Zhong Miao Yi to fall down. A flash of ruthlessness appeared in her eyes, and she slapped herself twice in the face. Even Zhong Miao Yi felt pain at the side when she saw this, so she really did it.

It was most likely because it really hurt, Yun Mengqi hugged a pillar at the side and knelt on the ground, then cried out loud.

Su Zeyi specifically went to Tang Yao to ask him about the change in value of the guards in the manor. Tang Yao's father had just returned to the capital to report on his duties and had recently become very highly regarded by the emperor.

The two of them simultaneously heard that there was movement over here. When they rushed over, they saw the miserable scene of the two girls.

Yun Mengqi was a piece of meat on the empress dowager's heart. Her face had been beaten into such a state, it was unknown how the empress dowager would blame him!

Su Zeyi's face was extremely ugly. He took a look at Zhong Miao Yi at the foot of the stairs, and scolded her without even asking her: "Zhong Miao Yi, I hope that you can kneel in front of the empress dowager in a while! "You're getting more and more lawless!"

Only after Su Zeyi left the place while carrying the triumphant looking Yun Mengqi, did Zhong Miao Yi gently pull up his sleeves. There were a few places where the sleeves had been scratched by the stones, the muslin cloth on her clothes was torn, and blood started to ooze out from her arms.

She stood up shakily, and sure enough, her leg was sprained from the pain.

Tang Yao did not leave with Su Zeyi. When he reached out to support the Zhong Miao Yi, she was still a little embarrassed, but soon after, she was relieved and lightly smiled at him.

"Where's the injury?" He asked with concern in his soft voice.

Zhong Miao Yi smiled as she shook her head and walked forward: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me."

Tang Yao sighed. They were clearly girls. How could she be so stubborn?

He did not care about the formalities as he reached out to help her up, "Your feet have been sprained from sprain. Don't go, it will swell even more."

Tang Yao spoke in a serious tone, as if he were trying to scare a disobedient child. The Zhong Miao Yi dejectedly smiled and no longer delayed anything. It truly was much better to have someone to support him.

After returning to the resting area, she specifically expressed her gratitude to Tang Yao.

Yun Mengqi's wailing could be heard from within the small room. Tang Yao went in to take a look, and it took a while for Su Zeyi to bring the imperial physician out.

When Su Zeyi saw Zhong Miao Yi, she sat there in a daze. The wound on her face was horrifying.

"The princess is also injured, I'll have to trouble the imperial physician to take a look as well." Tang Yao was concerned about Zhong Miao Yi's injuries. He didn't pay attention to Su Zeyi's unsightly expression since he had just returned to the capital. There were a lot of things that he wasn't really clear about.

Su Zeyi looked at her expressionlessly without saying a word. When Zhong Miao Yi turned her head to look at her, he quickly left with a cold expression.

Tang Yao didn't pay any attention to Su Zeyi as he anxiously said to the Imperial Physician, "She twisted her leg!"

"And arms." He only knew these two things, and Zhong Miao Yi subconsciously resisted when the imperial physician opened the box.

The Imperial Physician glanced at Tang Yao, who nodded his head with furrowed brows. He summoned up his courage and pulled up Zhong Miao Yi's sleeve, whereupon he sucked in a breath of cold air and softly said, "Princess, this old subject wants to cut the blood for you. It hurts a bit, but you have to bear with it."

She wasn't afraid of pain.

The imperial physician took care of the wounds and carefully tied up her leg. He even showed her his twisted foot and waited for the imperial physician to wrap it well before taking out a piece of silver from his purse and placing it in the imperial physician's hand.

She didn't have much money with her, but it was customary to tip the imperial physician. The doctor thanked her and tactfully withdrew.

The atmosphere became a bit awkward as only the two of them were left.

This was not the first time they had met. The empress had arranged for them to meet each other in the imperial garden long ago.

For some inexplicable reason, she took the engagement, saying it was the emperor's intention.

Zhong Miao Yi didn't think much of it. With her status, marrying anyone would be the same. She thought Tang Yao would unwillingly show her her face, but she never thought that the first time they met, he would actually be such a warm, jade-like boy.

Zhong Miao Yi felt that she owed him instead.

"I'll send you back. Since your feet are twisted, it won't be convenient for you." The two of them walked back to her small side hall. Tang Yao was very worried for her, so when they reached the halfway mark, he insisted on carrying her on his back. There weren't many people on the road, so the Zhong Miao Yi hesitated for a long time, but in the end, she still couldn't shake Tang Yao off saying, "Don't worry, we already have an engagement, right?"

Having an engagement was indeed an excellent way to put it. He was as enthusiastic as a grown boy. The reason why the Emperor chose Tang Yao as his consort was probably because he feared that she would suffer grievances if she married someone else.

Along the way, Tang Yao constantly reminded her to pay more attention to safety.

When Zhong Miao Yi heard this, she felt warm in her heart.

She was especially grateful towards Tang Yao for his help. Before she entered the hall, she even smiled and nodded at him, saying, "Thank you."
