Zizheng's reply was unexpectedly swift, and the next day, I met him at the old place.

The clarity in those amber eyes taught me to be ashamed and sad.

In the past few days, Jiang Zhuo's confinement of me has been useless, and the two guards called protection and surveillance have also relaxed their vigilance and taught me to be sent far away.

"Zizheng, what can you do to send me out of the palace?" Standing in front of the gap in the rockery, covering his thin figure, I stared at the eyes that seemed to have seen through a qiē, and asked in a low voice.

To be honest, when I came to him for help, I already had the mentality of a dead horse being a live horse doctor.

I didn't really have much hope - how could this child have the ability to send me out of the palace under the noses of so many guards, who was already living in the palace and couldn't protect himself?

I came to him, maybe more just to find someone to talk to.

Unexpectedly, he looked at me seriously and swore an oath: "I know a secret passage that can lead to the outside of the palace, and besides, I don't know it." ”

"Really?" I still don't think it's reliable, "Do you need to take any risks?" ”

"Don't worry, I'm just showing the way for Your Highness, and in the end, it's up to you." He smiled and leaned closer to my ear and said, "There is a low hole in the westernmost corner of the palace, which was bought by the low-ranking palace attendants, and was quietly chiseled by themselves from above, so that only those young and petite people can be allowed to enter and exit. ”

"But how is this king going to get out?" Looking down at herself, her stature was much more slender and petite than that of an ordinary woman in Dawu, and it was not a problem to think about the low cave, but the problem was that the city wall on the west side was the most remote place in the palace, and it was 108,000 miles away from the Chaolu Hall where I lived now.

And I'm not a playful palace attendant after all, so how can the guards guarding the door let me go?

Unexpectedly, this problem that had plagued me for a long time was quickly solved-this opportunity to solve it was handed over to me by Jiang Zhuo himself.

I still remember that day when Jiang Zhuo came to look for me, at that time I was struggling with my decision to leave the palace, and thinking about the way to leave, and I didn't know how to face her for a while.

She didn't seem to be aware of it, and as soon as she sat down, she spoke with great interest: "Jian Xin, Baiyun Valley has a letter, Wei Shu has heard about our marriage, and he is about to set off to participate in person-I know that you have many misunderstandings with him, and at that time, I will introduce you to reacquaint yourself." ”

"Wei Shu? In person? I nodded, but in my heart I scoffed at Jiang Zhuo's idea of "making us live together peacefully".

"Not bad." She stroked the teacup with a smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she thought of something interesting to remember, "Wei Shu is my Aunt Yun's child and my senior brother, he watched me grow up, just like my relatives." ”

- Isn't the Wei Shu in her mouth the poisonous immortal who healed me?

Then I wondered why he was so hostile to me, since I had never met him. Is it just because of who I am? And his unusual attention to Jiang Zhuo is also particularly instructive.

Thinking about it now, he looked at Jiang Zhuo's gaze, where was an elder brother looking at his sister?

It was clearly the eyes of my beloved—those eyes were so familiar, I seemed to see my own shadow in him.

At that time, didn't I follow her back with such fiery and longing eyes?

I don't believe that the person who would look at her with such affectionate eyes can easily accept the news of her sweetheart marrying someone else in such a short period of time, not to mention that the other half who snatched love with a knife is still a notorious ...... Woman.

Since Jiang Zhuo was able to talk about Wei Shu coming to Guanlan to see her in person in front of me, it is conceivable that the other party should also be the one who knew about her stealing the dragon and the phoenix.

In this case, if the other party really loves her and thinks about her, it is impossible to agree to this ridiculous wedding.

Thinking of this, I glanced at Jiang Zhuo silently, wanting to remind her that she didn't have to be so optimistic, but when the words came to my mouth, I couldn't say anything, as if I could vaguely catch a touch of melancholy from her eyes, and I didn't know if I was too careful.

Perhaps, she may not understand this, but she is unwilling to face it, and still deceives herself to avoid this possibility...... But if that's the case, it's hard to feel distressed.

How many people are sincerely blessed by this wedding that she is bent on?

Even I, as another client, did not accept it willingly.

In the dead of night, when she is alone, will she feel helpless and lonely?

I don't know, and I don't want to think about it, because even the slightest soft-heartedness will hinder my departure.

"Jian Xin, have you ever tried the wedding dress I sent? The size is my sue sù embroiderer, does it fit? The anticipation in her eyes taught me not to turn my head away, and a little guilt welled up in my heart - what she meant, I didn't understand?

But the corner of that wedding dress has been cut out by me as a token and tied to the rockery, if she finds the clue at this time, it will be wasted.

If Zizheng is burdened by this, then I can't forgive myself no matter what.

"Surprises are always reserved for last, don't they?" Looking at her with pretense of composure, I smiled.

I saw her smile back a little shy and joyful, that smile was rare and soft, joyful and happy from the heart, but it made my eyes sour, and I almost couldn't help crying.

Once upon a time, I was able to tell lies against my heart without changing my face?

Is it her or me?

Or, the two of us are no longer the same as each other.

A few days have passed in a flash, and I have been quietly preparing.

Under the pretext of walking through the west palace wall mentioned by Zizheng, I estimated my pace, it will take at least half an hour to walk from the Chaolu Hall to this wall, and the further you go here, the more remote it is, and there are very few palace people passing by, so you don't have to worry about leaking the wind.

I didn't find any silver or banknotes, only some gold and silver ornaments, and I picked out some that were easy to carry without the royal mark, and packed them into a small package with a few changes of clothes, and secretly hid them under the bed.

Just two days before Jiang Zhuo's scheduled marriage day, Baiyun Valley's team entered Guanlan City in a mighty manner.

I said that I was unwell, and I didn't follow Jiang Zhuo to greet her, and she didn't suspect much, but just told the palace attendant and the imperial doctor to take good care of me, and then went with someone alone.

Before she left, she half-knelt beside my bed, gently stroking my hair, her eyes were mixed with worry and complexity, and my heart trembled like a lightning strike, and I couldn't help but open my mouth to leave her...... In the end, I didn't say anything, just took her hand, kissed her fingertips gently, and nodded obediently as she whispered.

When she turned around, I closed my eyes suddenly, for fear that tears would reveal unspoken weakness and pain.

"Goodbye, Jiang Zhuo," I tried to endure, but there was still a tear that betrayed my reason and quietly slipped into the corner of my eye—I didn't raise my hand to wipe it, but let it burn my cheeks and seep into the pillow towel until it disappeared, just as my relationship with her withered before it bloomed," ...... Never again. ”

After waiting silently on the bed for half an hour, and making sure that Jiang Zhuo had left the palace, I immediately got out of bed and slammed the teapot on the table on the ground hard.

The crisp sound of the porcelain shattering startled the guards outside the door and immediately knocked nervously on the door, and asked urgently, "Your Highness?" Your Highness? ”

Seeing that I didn't answer, he pushed the door and entered, just in time to see me lying on my side on the ground pretending to be unwell, and one of them immediately ran out, presumably to find the imperial doctor.

I clutched my chest and whispered to the other remaining guard, "You, you go and find your majesty, just say...... He said that the king wanted to see her. ”

"But......" she looked at me hesitantly, not knowing whether I should do it.

Worried that the escort who had been lured away would soon return, I had no choice but to keep a straight face and shout coldly, "Go!" Ben Wang ...... Ahem......"

In a hurry, she choked and coughed, but taught her not to hesitate anymore and immediately rushed out.

Seeing that this clumsy trick had worked, I hurriedly pulled out the prepared package from under the bed and hurriedly slipped out against the corner.

According to the direction and time of the previous diaries, he avoided the fixed-point guards and patrol sentry posts, and came to the rockery that he had made an appointment with Zizheng, and saw him going back and forth in place from a distance, with a gloomy face, and at the moment he saw me, his expression suddenly changed, and he seemed to cry but not laugh, which seemed a little weird.

At that time, I didn't care, I just quickly ran to him, gasped and asked, "Is it still too late?" ”

He nodded, and handed me a set of palace attendant clothes in his hand.

He hurriedly changed his clothes, dressed up as an inconspicuous little palace attendant, and followed him all the way to the western wall.

Not long after leaving the rockery, I heard a commotion coming from the direction of the temple, as if several teams of guards had received orders and rushed there.

Realizing that my escape had probably been discovered, and before too many people had been alarmed, the whole palace was under martial law, and I had to get out as much as I could—or else there would be no more chance.

Hurry up and hurry, and finally came to the low hole that Zizheng said, there was no one around, and even the guards who had been guarding the autumn wind nearby were gone, and it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Zizheng pulled away the cover, climbed out of the low hole first, and beckoned me to do my best.

Throwing the package to him, I looked back at the location of Chaolu Hall again, slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, said goodbye to Jiang Zhuo in my heart, and bent down to crawl out.

However, I never expected that when I came to the wall with most of my body out, thinking that I was about to escape, I was greeted by a heavy blow.

The moment before my consciousness was overwhelmed by darkness, Zi Zheng's almost distorted smile was reflected in his eyes - the wooden stick in his hand was the murder weapon that hit me.

…… Why?

I wanted to ask him personally, but I fainted.
