She put down her comb, got up, walked out of the house, and walked out of the backyard.

When a few servants saw her in a red robe, they only thought that she was sick again, and most of them were used to it, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

When she reached the gravel path in the garden, she realized that she was not wearing shoes. Although my feet are a little awkward, I no longer want to go back to get my shoes.

Let's be barefoot. That's how she came, and now she's so naked.

Walking through the gravel road and crossing the rockery before coming to the edge of Luohe Lake, she walked along the guardrail by the lake and walked towards the center of the lake step by step.

This is a place she is familiar with, and she has lived here since she was a child.

She was familiar with the grass and trees, the bricks and tiles, how many rafters were on the roof, and what was carved on the guardrails.

Here there are her joys and sorrows, ups and downs. She counted her short life. Reminiscing about the old things that seem to have passed yesterday.

Slowly, she stood on the wooden bridge in the middle of the lake, and under the bridge was a pool of turquoise water.

A breeze struck, blowing the rippling blue waves, Yuzhu closed his eyes, breathed softly, and felt the freshness and sweetness brought by this heaven and earth.

Finally, she only wants to go with the breeze, and only wants to dance and float between heaven and earth.

She took a step forward, another step, and finally leaped forward, leaping out of the mortal world, over the red dust.

Wanwan red sleeves, only with the heaven and earth, dancing with the breeze.

The pool of blue water fluttered and sank for a moment, and then drifted into the distance with waves.

Everything fell into calm again, as if nothing had happened by the lake, as calm as usual.

Shangguan Beitang finally came back, he entered the palace in a hurry, and walked straight to Yuzhu's courtyard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he saw Xiaoru waiting at the door, and he hurriedly asked, "Why are you here?" How is the side princess? ”

Xiaoru saluted and said, "Back to the prince's words, the mother woke up, and she asked the slave to wait for the prince here." She says she has a lot to say to you. ”

"Oh, let's go check it out!" Shangguan Beitang said and walked inside, and Xiao Ru followed quickly behind him.

As soon as he pushed open the door of the room, Shangguan Beitang shouted, "Yuzhu, how are you?" ”

But there was no answer to him, so he had to go to the inner room. lifted the curtain, but saw that there was no one around, so he turned around like Xiaoru and asked, "Where is the princess?" ”

"Lying in the house, the mother said that she wanted to be quiet and sleep alone for a while. The slave maid just came out. Xiao Ru said, looked inside the house, and was also startled. The room was neat and tidy, as if there were people waiting for it, "Well, why is there no one?"

"Quick, look for it." Shangguan Beitang said and walked outside.

As soon as he went out, he happened to meet Mu Nanfeng, who came to deliver the medicine, and he hurriedly asked, "Have you seen Yuzhu?" ”

"No, isn't she in the house?" Mu Nanfeng asked suspiciously.

Shangguan Beitang shook his head and said, "No, I'll go find her!" ”

After a while, all the servants of the Beixuan Palace's palace took action, and some people said that when they saw the princess of the side going to the backyard, Shangguan Beitang trotted to the backyard in a hurry.

For some reason, his right eyelid was beating so hard that his mind was always a little uneasy, as if he had a premonition that something was going to happen.

As he ran, he looked left and right, shouting, "Yuzhu, Yuzhu." ”

But there was no one in the back garden.

So he walked to the shore of Luohe Lake again, and as soon as he reached the river, he saw a figure standing on a wooden bridge in the middle of the lake.

She was dressed in red, like a fairy who fell into this world, wonderful and beautiful.

It's just that before Shangguan Beitang could call her, she flew up like a gust of wind and landed in the rippling blue water.

Shangguan Beitang was shocked, his tears poured out instantly, and he called hysterically: "Yuzhu... ”

But the woman in red did not hear it. As if it had nothing to do with her world. The call of others has nothing to do with her.

Shangguan Beitang wanted to run to the center of the lake, but his legs were weak and he collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

He struggled, insisted on getting up, and stumbled towards the middle of the lake.

He didn't bother to go up and walk the corridor on the lake, which was so far from the center of the lake that he had to jump over the guardrail and try to get through the water.

The water flowed through his knees, up step by step, and with each step he took, the water became a little higher.

Seeing that the water had reached his chest, he began to become short of breath, but he still ran forward and refused to stop.

But he felt that the faster he ran, the less he could reach the middle of the lake, and the farther away from Yuzhu.

Eventually, he couldn't run anymore, choking on the water and flapping in place.

He didn't know if it was the lake, or if the tears filled his eyes, his vision began to blur, and he couldn't see the center of the lake clearly, let alone the jade bamboo.

There was a buzzing sound in his ears, and he could vaguely hear many people on the shore shouting and calling for him.

He couldn't answer, he couldn't answer, he only had one thing in mind, and that was to save Yuzhu.

However, nothing could be done, and everyone only wanted to save him first, and he was already delirious and unable to move forward.

When he woke up again, it was already on the bed in his room, Mu Nanfeng was taking a towel to wipe his face again, as soon as he opened his eyes, grabbed Mu Nanfeng's hand and asked:

"Where's Yuzhu? How's Yuzhu doing? ”

Mu Nanfeng didn't speak, but sighed, let go of his hand, stuffed it into the quilt, and said, "You have a cold, rest well!" More on that later. ”

Shangguan Beitang said stubbornly: "No, I'll just ask you, what about Yuzhu, how is she?" Tell me, how is she? ”

Mu Nanfeng saw that he couldn't dodge, so he had to say: "After we rescued you, when we went to get her, she was no longer good, and she still didn't survive after all, and she had already gone." ”

When Shangguan Beitang heard this, Douda's tears rolled down instantly, and he cried hysterically and said, "It's me, it's me who hurt her." Let me go see her, let me see her again. ”

"Beitang, you have a good rest! Her future affairs are handled by An Hai, you can rest assured. Perhaps, for her, it was a relief to leave. Mu Nanfeng comforted with kind words.

But where could Shangguan Beitang listen, he insisted on getting up, and he didn't bother to put on his shoes, so he ran outside.

Mu Nanfeng had no choice, so he had to follow him behind him, and when he arrived at the front hall, when he looked, the mourning hall had already been set up.

And Yuzhu was lying there, and there was no trace of sadness on her face, it was so serene and calm.

Shangguan Beitang looked at her and muttered, "Why are you so stupid? Why can't you wait? I begged the Queen Mother for her forgiveness. But why are you? Why can't you just let yourself go? ”

"Lord, mourn! Maybe in Yuzhu's heart, this is the best thing that the mortal world can let her go. Mu Nanfeng stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said.

Shangguan Beitang was speechless, only silent crying, and the entire Beixuan Palace's entire palace fell into a state of sorrow.

When Dugu Yanxiang heard the news in the palace, his heart was also sad. In the end, it was because of his single-mindedness that many innocent people were gone.

He made a decree to seal Yuzhu as the princess of Shuxian, and buried it with the rite of the concubine of the king of Beixuan, and gave the burial of Xiuzhuling.

But all this, what's the use, people have gone, and all the glory and reputation behind them are just empty titles.

The princess passed away, and Shangguan Beitang was heartbroken, and he was in a state of despair.

He finally understood that all the fame, fortune, glory and wealth in the world are just a dream, and everything is a floating cloud.

He finally saw that his title of the king of the North was just an ornament.

The officialdom is dangerous, and he has no intention of fighting again, and he doesn't want to fight again.

Now, he just wants a peace and a quiet and comfortable life.

Shangguan Beitang looked at the moonlight and thought: Everyone is fighting hard to gain fame and become an official, but how can they think that all this is just a fireworks.

Life is short for decades, so why should I struggle for these vain fames.

Thinking like this, Mu Nanfeng walked over and said: "Tomorrow, it will be the first seven days of Yuzhu, and when you burn this seven papers, you should also enter the palace every day to participate in the court meeting, and it is not a way to always take a leave like this after all." ”

Shangguan Beitang didn't look at him either, but said, "Brother Nanfeng, now, I want to leave, is it too late?"

"What?" Mu Nanfeng didn't understand too much, and asked again.

"I said, I don't want the title of the king of the North in the future, and I don't want to be an official anymore, are you willing to help me leave?" Shangguan Beitang said and looked at Mu Nanfeng seriously.

"You, you're going to come with me?" Mu Nanfeng asked in disbelief.

"Yes, do you have a way?"

"Of course I have a way." Mu Nanfeng grinned happily, "Don't worry, I, I will definitely take you away safely." ”

"Okay." Shangguan Beitang nodded calmly, he was not as happy as Mu Nanfeng.

But Mu Nanfeng was different, he opened his arms and hugged Shangguan Beitang and said, "Beitang, do you know? How long have I been waiting for this day? Did You Know? I've been preparing for this day. ”

Then he let go of him, took out a small white bottle from his sleeve and said, "Look, I've got everything ready." ”

Shangguan Beitang looked at the Bai Qi and asked puzzledly, "This is?" ”

Mu Nanfeng replied: "This is the medicine of fake death, as long as a person takes this medicine, the inner pulse of the seven days temporarily stops beating, and he has no breath, just like a dead person." After seven days, I will feed the antidote, and the person will come back to life as if nothing had happened. ”

"Is there such a miraculous medicine in the world?" Shangguan Beitang asked in surprise.

"Don't worry, as long as you're ready, we can leave at any time." Mu Nanfeng said.

"I, I've thought about it. Give it to me. Shangguan Beitang took the medicine bottle from Mu Nanfeng's hand.

He was about to drink it, when the figure of Dugu Yanxiang suddenly appeared in his mind.

Silently, his hand stopped, and he stopped feeding the medicine into his mouth.

He suddenly thought that he hadn't gone to say goodbye to Dugu Yanxiang yet, and he suddenly thought that from now on, he would never see him again.

For some reason, his heart was a little sad.
