Chapter 53: Farewell
A hundred years have passed like water, and the time has come to say goodbye.
Xiao Wu had already packed her bags and understood that both parties were ready, the prince had a new scholar, and she had a place she wanted to go.
After following Qingtian for a hundred years, Xiao Wu already knows that he is a person who stands up to the sky and believes in his word. He taught himself to be ambitious, to be far-sighted, to have the world in mind, to be broad-minded, how to plan the layout, how to weigh the pros and cons, how to recuperate Haoran righteousness, and many other things. Although he is strict, he forces himself to grow up quickly, he has the grace of teaching with her, even if there is an unbearable past, it is also a etiquette that must be completed to say goodbye and thank you.
Early the morning before leaving, Xiao Wu came to Chenghua Hall to meet the prince Qingtian, but was stopped by the doorman, asked for a report several times, but did not get a reply, Xiao Wu was helpless, knelt in front of the palace and shouted, "Lu Xiaowu, please meet His Royal Highness the prince ......."
The screams and screams of pain broke Qingtian's heart, and he concluded that she had come to a showdown. If he relents, he will go his separate ways from now on, and it will be difficult to meet him again; Xiao Wu has been disappointed in himself and has made up his mind to leave, what should he do with her?
Qingtian began to hate Xiao Wu for being ruthless, he gave her the true love she wanted, but she didn't cherish it and begged for it. Feeling hurt and his authority challenged like never before, he became angry and irritable again, "Go, tell her, just say that Benjun is not in the palace, and order someone to drive her away."
Yan Ran took the order out, and after a while, she heard the sound of the guards shouting and pushing.
Xiao Wu had no choice but to leave and came to the pomegranate tree, where she touched the thick trunk in a daze. Thinking that when I first planted it, I used the water of Yao Chi every day to water it, at that time it was wilted, and there were few leaves left, and in only one year, the pomegranate tree absorbed the essence of heaven and earth by itself, and once again flourished and bore fruit.
When it's hardest, just stand up and get over it.
Xiao Wu jumped on the pomegranate tree, sat on the trunk of the tree and pondered, watching the two girls in scholarly robes enter the Chenghua Palace, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable in her heart, and tears fell.
All this was seen by Qingtian, who was standing at the window of the "Sea of Books", seeing Xiao Wu crying, he also wet his eyes, he was too reluctant for her to leave, he hurt her again and again, she must have hated herself, Qingtian didn't have the courage and confidence to let Xiao Wu stay.
Yan Ran, who was waiting not far away, saw the prince's expression and every move.
In the evening, Xiao Wu estimated that Qingtian had returned to the palace, and she knelt in front of the palace gate again to ask for a meeting, but was directly driven away by the guards. Xiao Wu stubbornly knelt and didn't leave, she had to resign today, and tomorrow she would step out of Yongzheng Palace and go to a broader world, and there would be no more to do with it. Xiao Wu wants to draw a successful end to her past 100 years.
After kneeling for about half an hour, Xiao Wu knelt down and came to Yanwen, who told her that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had something to do in the military camp and would not come back tonight, so Xiao Wu had no choice but to do it.
In the Jingzhang Palace, the dignified Wei Niangniang and the flowery Wu Mei Niangniang sat in the main hall, and the personal maids Zhiwei and Tsing Yi were waiting behind them, and they were listening to Yanran's announcement.
"Early this morning, Lu Xiaowu knelt in front of the palace and asked to see the prince...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was obviously in the study, but he said that he was not there, and he felt that the prince was ......".
Wu Mei glanced at the good-looking peach blossom eyes and complained impatiently, "What do you think is wrong with the prince?
"It feels like the prince is ...... I'm scared...... Seeing the little, the prince still had ...... in his eyes There are tears."
"Nonsense, how can it be?...... Ah, go on, you go on", Wu Mei heard this, there was a bit of a mess, how could the prince shed tears for a little scholar, but he felt that it was really inappropriate to interrupt, so he let Yan Ran continue.
In the evening, the little maid knelt down and begged to be received, and the prince stayed in the "sea of books" and never summoned him.
Wei Ji's face was full of doubts, and he interjected and asked: "What "sea of books"?".
Yan Ran hurriedly replied, "Oh, the "sea of books" is a couch built by the little maid and His Royal Highness the Seventh and the Ninth Highness in the study and bookshelf of the Chenghua Palace, where they often have private messing around, His Royal Highness the Prince...... At night...... It's mostly there...... Handling of official documents".
Wei Xi understood, and the corners of her mouth pulled out a sinister smile, "It's really ...... Look down on her, this little scholar, it's really not easy!"
"The prince didn't see the little, but he asked Yanwen to spread the word, saying that His Royal Highness is in the military camp and will not return to Yongzheng Palace tonight."
Yanran saw the growing jealousy in the eyes of the two mothers, and continued to fan the flames, "His Royal Highness the Prince...... Afterwards...... Drinking alone in the "sea of books".
"Drinking alone?", Wei Xi repeated thoughtfully, she heard a lot of reports, saying that the prince had been drinking alone a lot lately.
After hearing this, Wu Mei was so jealous, thinking of the prince's treatment of herself, she asked angrily and puzzledly: "Sister, why does the prince say that he is not in the palace?
"I am reluctant to let her go!, I'm afraid, our Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... It's true...... I'm in love with a little scholar", Wei Xiyin replied with a smile, but her eyes were as cold as a thousand years of ice, and the cold was overwhelming.
Everyone was stunned by her words, and they all opened their mouths for a long time, looking at Wei Xi, waiting for her to explain what she meant?
"The palace has investigated, this little scholar was originally a sweeper boy of Xiyi Immortal Mansion, because he instigated the two highnesses to get drunk, he was punished by the prince to be a century-old palace maid in Yongzheng Palace, I don't know what......? Later, somehow, I became a scholar again?".
Wei Ji paused, glanced at Wu Mei, who looked sluggish, and said, "More than a month ago, for some reason, I was injured by the prince with a sword, and there was a matter of the prince staying overnight...... After that, the prince let go of her grounding and personally took her out of the palace to play...... As for what happened after that, you all know ......".
Wu Mei asked stupidly, "That...... Are the rumors true?"
"There is no wind and no waves, this statement should be true...... Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seemed to ignore her during this time, according to the palace's understanding, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stayed in her room almost every day a few days ago."
"Ah?......h
Everyone was shocked and stunned by Wei's words again.
From Yan Wu being sent to the army, Yan Ran and Wu Mei cut off the source, they didn't expect that Wei Niangniang's ears and eyes were so powerful.
Yan Ran didn't understand, they all slept together at night, so why did they go about the day? One asked to see, and the other hid from him? Then he asked: "Since they are all so close, why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ...... He didn't hesitate to lie, but he also deliberately avoided it?".
"This palace ordered someone to check the scholar's room, and found that tomorrow is the end of her centennial punishment period...... Bengong guessed that it might be because of the person in the painting, the scholar had the intention of leaving", Wei Xi said, motioning to the maid Zhiwei to unfold a painting.
Wu Mei looked at the painting, and immediately interjected: "Oh! Bengong and Yanran once saw with their own eyes that the little maid painted this painting, and her expression was very strange at that time, and at that time, Bengong felt that the young man on this painting should be her good friend."
Wei Xi waved her hand to let Zhiwei accept the painting, and whispered to her to send the painting back, she didn't want to startle the snake before the matter began.
Wei Xi glanced at everyone and continued: "Now that the little scholar is grounded in the palace, she must get the prince's consent to leave, and it is natural for her to ask for permission to see her...... Bengong guessed that he was afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was already affectionate, and he didn't plan to let her go at all...... Therefore, this palace is sure that the little scholar will never be able to leave!".
Weihuan analyzed the situation, even if she covered it up in many ways, but there was still a sour helplessness in her words, the prince fell in love with a lowly scholar, how could this really make her embarrassed?
"Why can't you see it in this palace? What's wrong with that little? It's shriveled and shriveled, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really ......", Wu Mei was jealous and hateful, and his mouth was unconcealed, and he was reminded by the eyes of the clothes around him to offer tea, and stopped in time.
Although Weijiao's heart was like knocking over the cruet bottle, and all kinds of flavors were mixed, she still maintained a calm look on her face, "Hmph! God opens his eyes, tomorrow gives a great opportunity, we can make good use of it and help the scholar."
Wu Mei turned her sadness into joy and pandered: "Yes, she's gone, it's fine!
"We not only have to help the little scholar escape, but also help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and arrest her back", Weiwei said the answer that made Wu Mei dumbfounded.
"Catch it back, sister, you're not mistaken, right?"
Weihuan glanced at the big-chested Wu Mei as if she was mentally handicapped, pursed her lips secretly, and explained: "Sister, what kind of character is His Royal Highness the Prince?
Yan Ran suddenly realized what Wei Xi meant, and interjected very old-fashionedly: "So, we have to preemptively create opportunities for the little scholar to make mistakes...... In this way, how can we punish that little? The initiative is in the hands of the mother, and in that case, it is not easy for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to directly shield it."
Wei Xi glanced at Yanran appreciatively, and nodded in agreement with her words.
Wu Mei also consciously participated in the analysis very smartly, "Then let's let the little go first, and then catch it and kill it directly...... It is enough for a slave or maid to run away without permission."
Wei Xi glanced at Wu Mei contemptuously, as if she was an idiot, "Kill the prince's beloved, then do you want to see the prince again?"
Wu Mei felt Wei Yan's contempt, and argued unconvinced, "If we don't kill her, it's the same as the prince catching her himself, and the result is not the same?"
"Therefore, we have to think in the long run, find more sins for the little scholar, and make it difficult for the prince to cover up...... If we hurt her, we can't hurt her...... In fact, there is no need to force the prince to the point where he has to kill the little scholar, as long as he forces the prince to have to drive her out of Yongzheng Palace."
"Good! That's good, but everyone is happy!"
The gossip conspiracy has finally taken shape, and everyone is actively preparing.
Early the next morning, Xiao Wu changed into a long-distance casual dress, came to the Chenghua Palace, and asked the prince if he had returned?
Xiao Wu remembered what Zixiao had said, if there was something so that she could go to Bakai, the guard in front of the Yongzheng Palace.
Xiao Wu found Bakai and pretended to ask very unintentionally, did the prince return to the palace last night, and is he in the Chenghua Palace now? The answer he got was that His Royal Highness the prince was there last night, and he is still in the palace at this moment.
Could it be that the prince is deliberately avoiding himself?
The thought flashed, and was overturned by Xiao Wu herself, just a little scholar, because of her daily companionship, she got some extra kindness, how could the prince mind if she went or stayed? Maybe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince felt that there was no need to meet again, Xiao Wu suddenly felt that his heart was very empty, and it hurt a little.
It's easy to fall in love and hard to get along! Maybe because of a sentence or a small friction, we can misunderstand each other. One lacks explanation, the other is difficult to answer, and the silence finally turns into regret.
Xiao Wu didn't want to say goodbye without saying goodbye, now that she knew that Qingtian was there, she would try to say goodbye in person. In fact, Xiao Wu also knew that she was afraid that she would not be able to leave this Yongzheng Palace now, she only enjoyed the freedom to enter and exit for one day, and then she was grounded again.
Coming to the Chenghua Hall again, Xiao Wu shouted: "Lu Xiaowu, ask to see His Royal Highness the Prince......
Optimus heard Xiao Wu turn back again, and he had a headache, shouting every few minutes to see him and the sound of the guards pushing and kicking, the sound was like a knife cutting Optimus's heart.
Qingtian felt that he couldn't leave Xiao Wu in public or private. He decided, ignore her and detain her, even if Xiao Wu hates herself for a few years, as long as she doesn't leave, things will have room for change. Qingtian has already arranged to succeed Yan Wu's Fang Xiang, and he must not let Xiao Wu step out of Yongzheng Palace.
If you lose your words, you will lose your words, but what about dishonesty?
At the last moment, Qingtian decided to let go of all his face and reputation, he could not scruple about anything, as long as Xiao Wu did not leave.
Qingtian left Yongzheng Palace incognito, leaving Xiao Wu still shouting in front of the palace to see.
An hour later, Yanwen came, he looked at the stubborn Xiao Wu, and sighed: "Xiao Wu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really not in Yongzheng Palace, what's the use of you kneeling again?"
"But, I know...... Last night, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returned."
"Alas, Xiao Wu, after so many years, we have a good friendship, I really hope you can stay...... But if you insist on leaving, you can't help it...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows about what you are asking to see, and he also knows that you are leaving, His Highness asked me to pass on the message, he really doesn't have time to see you, if you insist on leaving, you can leave at any time."
"Really!?What do you mean by Xingjun, I can leave now?"
"Yes!"
Xiao Wu is very happy that the matter has been resolved, but she can't help but feel a little lost in her heart, she has been with each other for a hundred years, so that the prince doesn't even disdain to see the last side, and she really responds to that sentence, the most ruthless emperor's family. It can be seen how insignificant he is in the prince's heart.
Xiao Wu was secretly glad that she was not confused by Qingtian's inexplicable affection, and she smiled bitterly to herself, completely freed from her reluctance.
Yan Wen glanced at Xiao Wu, who was in a daze, and urged: "Don't be stunned, I'll send you out of the palace."
"Wait a minute, I'll pick up my things and go"
Xiao Wu said, returned to the room, put the burden in his sleeve, took one last look at the hut where he had lived for a hundred years, and turned around to leave. Suddenly I felt that it was better to leave a farewell thanksgiving letter for the prince, after all, he had taught himself a lot.
Xiao Wu quickly returned to Yanwen's side, handed the letter with both hands, and said, "This letter, please ask Xingjun to hand it over to His Royal Highness the Prince, and say goodbye without saying goodbye, I always feel that it is rude."
"Okay! I'll pass it on."
Xiao Wu walked out of Yongzheng Palace with Yanwen, and there was really no guard to stop him.
Outside the palace gate, Xiao Wu said goodbye to Yan Wenji, "Thank you Xingjun for taking care of me for a hundred years, please take care!"
Yanwen returned the salute, "Xiao Wu, you have to take care of yourself!"
Behind Xiao Wu, Yan Wen waved his hand and shouted, "Xiao Wu, there will be a period later!"
Xiao Wu turned around, smiled wryly and waved her hand, thinking in her heart, I'm afraid this farewell should be indefinite.
Xiao Wu chose to board a cloud to pick up Cui'er in Xiyi Immortal Mansion, she wanted to see the place where she had lived for more than a hundred years.
Facing the palace at her feet, Xiao Wu cried and shouted: "Don't be! Zixiao, don't be! Guiyan, take care...... Forgive Xiao Wu, say goodbye, don't complain about Xiao Wu...... Xiao Wu, I can't forget you two...... Definitely, you must be good, you must be happy! You must be happy...... Forget it, Lu Xiaowu".
Xiao Wu shouted and cried, she really couldn't bear to say goodbye to Zixiao and Guiyan, the scenes of being together in the past were still in front of her, and now she was going to say goodbye to the end of the world.
When she arrived at Xiyi Immortal Mansion, Xiao Wu found Cui'er in the Yuanji Palace.
Cui'er went back to the room to get things first, Xiao Wu knelt on the platform in front of the hall, once she was punished to kneel, kowtowed three times to the inside, and she silently said goodbye to Master Xuanyuan who saved her life twice.
In order to keep Xiao Wu by his side, Qingtian deliberately misled Xuanyuan's intention to accept Xiao Wu as an apprentice, saying that those words that day were Zhenjun's polite words, just to prevent him from punishing her. He sarcastically took Xiao Wu naïve, really whimsical, and didn't know the height of the sky. Qingtian also said that what kind of great god is the Holy War God? How could he accept a slave and maid who has no wisdom roots as an apprentice? Not to mention that the True Monarch would never accept a female apprentice.
Xiao Wu felt that what Qingtian said made sense, so she died and wanted to confirm to Xuan Yuan that her words were true and false.
Hits sometimes have to happen, and hits are hard to find all the time.
Qingtian's misinterpretation and misdirection made Xiao Wu miss the best opportunity to recognize Xuanyuan as a teacher. One wrong step, Xiao Wu walked towards another tragic and thorny life path.
