Waking up from a coma, Xiao Wu found herself lying in a small room, picking at her palms with her fingernails, and it still hurt!

As soon as she turned her head, Xiao Wu found Zi Xiao lying on the edge of the couch, already asleep. As soon as he moved his body, the pain in his heart suddenly hurt to the bone marrow, and he couldn't help but hum softly, and the sound woke up Zixiao.

Zixiao looked at Xiao Wu who woke up, and a flash of excitement flashed in her sad eyes, "Xiao Wu, it's great that you're awake!"

Xiao Wu asked in a hoarse voice, "This, yes, where?"

"It's ...... Yongzheng Palace, you have been asleep for four days...... Oh, let's drink some water first...... Don't move, I'll feed you", Zixiao's voice was hoarse and choked, and tears glistened in his eyes.

Opening her chapped lips, Xiao Wu barely drank two sips of water, thinking about what happened to her, tears flowed out, and after a while, she sobbed and asked, "I, what's the matter...... Got here?".

Zi Xiao wiped away Xiao Wu's tears with her hand, and said with tears in her eyes: "Oh, Guiyan and I went to the Xianfu to look for you, and found that Cui'er was locked up, she told the general situation, and said that you were forcibly taken away by the prince's brother...... The two of us hurried back to Yongzheng Palace to look for it, but no one knew where you were taken?...... It was only on the fifth day that we found the prince's brother, and when we asked, he was ...... Split his head and covered his face and scolded him, we were afraid that something would happen to you, so I went to ask Xuanyuan Zhenjun, and Zhenjun took us and Cui'er to find ...... I saw you in the dungeon, tortured and unconscious...... It was the prince who begged the prince's brother to let you go, and he was the one who brought you here."

"Master Xuanyuan...... Yes, what did you say?"

"He said, since I saved her life, I don't want to see her die again, she has Xiyi Immortal Mansion in her heart, and I Xuanyuan should be grateful...... I don't even want to theorize, so please don't worry about it anymore...... He also said, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't do it, then I'll take her away now", Zi Xiao repeated Xuan Yuan's original words.

Xiao Wu couldn't cry after hearing this, although she was kind, she had caused so much trouble and worry to Master Xuanyuan. Although the prince beat himself, he convicted her of the right crime, and the master not only did not blame himself, but also saved himself again.

After crying for a while, Xiao Wu sobbed and asked again, "What happened later?"

Later, the prince's brother said...... said that you have unfulfilled promises, or insist on leaving you in Yongzheng Palace...... Leave ......"

Zi Xiao didn't say it, he stayed to be a palace maid, he knew that Xiao Wu understood it in his heart. He and Guiyan also knew at that time that the last time they were drunk, the prince's brother actually punished Xiao Wu and sold himself into slavery for a hundred years.

Zi Xiao was full of guilt, and when Xiao Wu heard it, she suddenly felt suffocated, coughing violently and pulling the wound, and the painful Xiao Wu shrank into a ball on the couch, in pain.

Cui'er pushed the door in, saw Xiao Wu woke up, knelt on the couch, and cried bitterly: "Little master, suffer! It's all because Cui'er didn't protect the little master, and the slave deserves death!", Cui'er cried and slapped her face with remorse.

Xiao Wu was distressed, reached out to stop it, pulled the wound, his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted again.

Zi Xiao grabbed Cui'er's hand violently and shouted angrily, "Cui'er, be sensible, okay? At this time, don't make any more trouble!"

Cui'er felt remorse for her weakness and gaffe, and at this moment, she should be the strongest, she should comfort the injured and frightened little master. Cui'er wiped her tears with her sleeve, stepped forward and hugged Xiao Wu's head in her arms, clapping her hands to comfort.

"Oh, it's Cui'er's mistake, the little lord is taking care of his injuries, don't be afraid, Cui'er will protect you, little master...... Don't be afraid!"

Xiao Wu liked the feeling of being protected, and gradually calmed down, looked at Cui'er's face full of grief and distress, and whispered, "I thought it was ...... Will die in the dungeon...... I'm afraid I won't see you anymore."

Xiao Wu cried again, in the five days in the underground palace, she shed too many tears mixed with grievances, sadness and various complex emotions, thinking of the painful experience, she couldn't help but tremble again.

Patting the trembling Xiao Wu, Cui'er knew that she still had palpitations, "Little master, don't be afraid......! When the little master is ready, Cui'er will take you out of Heaven...... We don't belong here, and Cui'er won't let anyone hurt you again...... Little master, take good care of your injuries and get better soon."

Zi Xiao looked at the two of them directly, and after listening to Cui'er's words, he nodded with tears in his eyes. He couldn't bear Xiao Wu to stay in this sad place, in Zi Xiao's heart, this heavenly court was a place where there was no warmth and happiness to speak of. But knowing that Xiao Wu was leaving, Zi Xiao still felt sad and confused.

Seeing that Xiao Wu nodded, Cui'er said again: "Little master, when you are injured, Cui'er will take you to the world...... There, we're going to have a good time, you say, okay?"

"Good!", Xiao Wu has read a lot of books on the rivers and lakes, and she yearns for the chic chivalrous appearance.

"Xiao Wu, you're finally awake, you're scared to death...... Oh, does it still hurt?", Guiyan barged in with a bunch of things, ran to the edge of the collapse and asked with concern.

"Guiyan, I ?......"

"Hey, I know everything, I know that you are kind, I don't blame you...... Actually, if you just say it, I will help you, you are my best friend, and your business is my business...... In the future, don't you want to hide anything from me anymore, do you hear me?"

"Hmm!", Xiao Wu's tears of emotion flowed all over her face again, and she felt that a fire had ignited in her cold heart, warm and bright.

Guiyan was panicked by Xiao Wu's tears, and hurriedly explained: "Hey, you, don't cry...... I've said it all, I don't blame you, really!!"

After that, Cui'er told Xiao Wu about many things in the world, such as snowfall, watching lanterns on the Shangyuan Festival, etc., and also told her that there are delicious foods such as pomegranate cakes and crystal meat in the world, as well as delicious "This Life" wine, and the most attractive thing for Xiao Wu is that she can ride a horse and gallop freely on the prairie. In fact, these are all things that Xiao Wu has experienced, but she doesn't remember it anymore.

Xiao Wu decided to slip away when the injury was almost healed, and what kind of punishment would she give him? She didn't want to have any more intersections with the impersonal prince. Although he was reluctant to Zixiao and Guiyan, he thought that he would only cause trouble for them, so he was even more determined to go.

Zi Xiao couldn't help but told Gui Yan that Xiao Wu was leaving, and the two of them came to see Xiao Wu more often, and they were both afraid that Xiao Wu would suddenly say goodbye.

Unfortunately, the conversation between the two was listened to by the prince's personal attendant Yanwu, and told the prince. The crown prince Qingtian ordered Yanwu to monitor the movements of Xiao Wu and Cui'er, and arranged that they should not be allowed to leave the palace without the company of the two highnesses.

Qingtian himself was also very strange and entangled, why would he resolutely not let Xuanyuan take the little girl, why he didn't want her to leave the heavenly court, was it just to punish her for fulfilling her promise?...... Anyway, as long as he thinks of Lu Xiaowu, Qingtian is angry in his heart, but he doesn't understand why he is angry?

Qingtian is like a gambler, but he doesn't want to be like Xiao Wu's wish. The more she hated herself, the more he wanted to keep her by his side, and the more she wanted to go, the more he wouldn't let her go.

If you don't owe each other, how can you see each other? If you haven't paid it back, what's wrong? In the dark, you're finally a pair of enemies......

With the careful care of Cui'er and Zixiao, and the heart to run to the world of freedom, Xiao Wu gradually came out of her sadness, and her injuries were basically healed, Xiao Wu decided to leave for the world tomorrow morning.

Before leaving, Xiao Wu decided to thank Master Xuanyuan for his life-saving grace, and then go to Xuanyuan to have a look, after all, where she and Cui'er came to the Nine Heavens.

Early in the morning, Xiao Wu, Cui'er and Zi Xiao went out of the palace gate, turned into green smoke and came to the stone gate of Xiyi Xianfu, and saw that the flowers and trees planted were gorgeous and lush, and the birds were also calling happily, and Xiao Wu's depressed heart swelled with some relief.

was concentrating, seeing Bujian walking towards her, Xiao Wu bent down and saluted.

Bu Yan looked at Xiao Wu, who had lost a lot of weight, and said with disgust: "You troublemaker, you came here again, and you are still thinking, what kind of big thing are you going to do that shocks the world and weeps ghosts and gods?"

Xiao Wu didn't tease as in the past, and said respectfully and solemnly: "I came to meet Master Xuanyuan, and I want to thank you in person!"

"No need, my master is not here"

After hearing this, Xiao Wu was obviously disappointed, pursed her mouth, sighed and said: "Okay, please bring a message to the immortals, just say that Lu Xiaowu came to thank the master for saving his life twice...... If there is an afterlife, Xiao Wu will be rewarded for being a cow and a horse...... If not, I will pray for the master every day for eternal happiness and well-being!"

After Xiao Wu finished speaking, she took Cui'er to kneel down and kowtow three times in the direction of the Yuanji Palace, got up and looked at the bewildered Buzhi, smiled bitterly, and bowed deeply, "Xiao Wu has been disrespectful to Shangxian in the past, and has also caused a lot of trouble to Shangxian, Xiao Wu has made amends here."

After saying goodbye to the surprised and confused Unsan, the three of them went to the room where Xiao Wu had lived.

Xiao Wu sat on the bench in the courtyard, waiting for Cui'er to pack her bags, and the scene of her first arrival in the Immortal Mansion appeared in front of her......

I don't know when, Xiao Wu found that there was no one to tell the melancholy and distress in her heart, only the flute could express her heart and relieve her sorrow, and she unconsciously took out the jade flute, and Xiao Wu blew it quietly.

In the flute, it is an eagle, hovering alone in the sky, lofty, sad, beautiful, lonely and hesitant, diffusing in the air......

At the end of the song, Xiao Wu was already teary-eyed.

Zi Xiao kept looking lonely and silent. He taught her to play the flute, and naturally understood the meaning of her flute sound, and he knew that Xiao Wu was really leaving.

Even if there is a thousand reluctances, he should not and cannot stop Xiao Wu to find freedom and happiness that belongs to her, he doesn't want Xiao Wu to be treated unfairly, and is committed to being a maid in the Centennial Palace, he loves her, he should fulfill her to chase happiness!

After listening to the unstained proclamation, Xuanyuan, who was standing by the window, stared at the prosperity outside the window, and his heart was surging with the sound of the flute, which was either clear and poignant, or low and whimpering. He understood that the little girl was saying goodbye, and the eagle-like loneliness and confusion in the flute exposed the heavy heart of the girl with a clear and delicate heart.

The little girl used her own wisdom to repair the immortal mansion in the face of the world's disapproval, just to repay her kindness, but she was punished and almost died. Xuan Yuan really didn't know how to face it, this little girl who was loved and hated, she actually messed up his heart, so she excused herself from being there.

The little girl is kind, persistent, and talented, and Xuanyuan feels that he also has a fate with the little girl, and he has also moved the idea of accepting her as an apprentice.

Xuanyuan has always been very demanding in accepting apprentices, and so far he has only accepted five male apprentices, and female apprentices are obviously a sad hurdle for Xuanyuan. Xuanyuan once suspected that this Lu Xiaowu was the female apprentice he was destined to have. But the prince said that he would take her away, which made Xuanyuan stop and want to test further.

The little girl chose to leave, she must be looking for her family, a woman with her family company, her husband and children in the future should be the happiest. That was the day when his beloved wife, who had been immortal for more than 200,000 years, wanted to live the most but finally couldn't get it. His husband and wife were busy fighting all day long, and in order to save him, she was beaten and scattered, and she did not meet the wishes of his beloved wife, which became the biggest pain and regret in Xuanyuan's heart.

Leaving the Xiyi Immortal Mansion, the three of them came to the edge of the Xuanqi Pond, Xiao Wu leaned on Zixiao's shoulder, sat on the edge of the pool, staring at the deep pool, thinking about where I came from, who am I, and where am I going?......

But who can give her the answer she wants?

Judging from the strange looks of Zi Xiao and the others, and based on their actions of going to Xiyi Immortal Mansion, Yan Wu guessed that Lu Xiaowu might be about to implement his escape plan, and he told Prince Qingtian of his suspicions.

Qingtian arranged for Yan Wu to have the guards strictly restrict Xiao Wu and Cui'er from leaving the palace, so that they could intercept them as soon as possible.

In fact, in the past few days, Qingtian's mood is also very chaotic, and his mind is full of the tragic situation of the little girl being beaten, and he often has inexplicable heartache and guilt.

Beating her was something he couldn't help but do, and he had to do! Damn Lu Xiaowu played with Heavenly Court in the palm of his hand, where was the dignity of the Heavenly Monarch, the face of Xuanyuan, and the law of Heavenly Court? As the defender of Heavenly Court and the person who knew about the incident, he could not turn a blind eye and stand idly by. If he didn't want to publish the truth to the public, if he didn't have an inexplicable heart to kill her, with his temperament, he would have thrown her into the Spirit Destroying Tower.

However, the damned Lu Xiaowu's grace to herself not to kill, and her order to punish herself as a palace maid, all of them were taken seriously, and she wanted to leave, how could Qingtian let her succeed?

In the early morning of the second day, Cui'er and Xiao Wu walked out of the room together, and were about to leave the palace gate, but they were intercepted by the guards, "You two can't leave the palace without the order of the Martial Star Monarch."

Xiao Wu sighed in her heart, and after a moment of silence, she shouted loudly: "I am the scholar in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, and I am now ordered to leave the palace urgently.

As she was talking, she saw the four guards salute in unison, and when Xiao Wu turned around, she saw the prince's personal guard Yanwu, and she was staring at her arrogantly and coldly.

Seeing that Cui'er was carrying a package, Yan Wu understood in his heart that he was right, so Cui'er said to the guard: "Escort this person back to Xiyi Immortal Mansion, and in the future, she must not be let into Yongzheng Palace."

"Who dare!"

Cui'er was not convinced, and while protecting Xiao Wu, she fought against the guards who came to capture her......

Xiao Wu defeated a guard who wanted to sneak up on Cui'er, and also wrestled with the guards......

was fighting inextricably, Cui'er was knocked down by Yan Wu, who was very good at martial arts, with a sharp palm, and was finally escorted away by the martial guards who rushed to help.

"Cui'er!"

"Little Lord!"

Yan Wu grabbed Xiao Wu, dragged her into the Chenghua Palace, threw her in front of the crown prince, and gave a salute, "His Royal Highness the Prince, this madman pretended to be the name and order of His Royal Highness the Prince's scholar, wanted to escape, and injured the guards, please ask His Highness to instruct how to deal with it?"

Qingtian's face was as heavy as ink, looking down at Xiao Wu, who was sitting on the ground and suffering from her broken wounds, and said coldly: "Do you know what it is to run away without permission? It seems that those whips didn't make you have much memory."

She hated him and almost killed herself, she even experienced death, Xiao Wu faced Qingtian again, but she was not afraid.

Xiao Wu sat on the ground, stiffened his neck, looked head-on at Qingtian's sharp eyes, and shouted hoarsely: "I'm not running away!" I was injured and was treated by Master Xuanyuan, and when my injuries are healed, of course I should go...... I'm not a slave, why do I want to be a slave?!I went to find my family, what kind of rules did I break?...... Do you want to force the good to be slaves? Is this the heavenly principle in your mouth?"

"Presumptuous...... Look for death!", Yan Wu scolded on his lips, lifted Xiao Wu, and raised his fist to fight.

Qingtian stretched out his hand to stop it, and when he saw that Xiao Wu's robe was stained red with blood again, his heart suddenly softened a lot, and he snorted coldly: "Hmph, it's nonsense...... Being punished for drunkenness is your own commitment."

Qingtian paced two steps, and then said, "You madman, you just dared to fake the order of this king, what do you think should be the crime?...... Hmph, if you are still injured, this gentleman will not punish you first, but I will remember it for you...... You say, it's Benjun's scholar?...... Well, okay, then Benjun will fulfill you, and you will start serving tomorrow...... Now, get out of here, Benjun is looking at you...... Upset!".

"I don't!"

Feeling that it was not enough to let the little girl stay in despair, Qingtian added: "If you dare to disobey the order again, Benjun will kill you first, the Cui'er who instigated you." Benjun has always said that he will do it, but he doesn't believe it...... Can you try?".

“......”

A dignified prince of the Heavenly Clan, but doing this kind of threatening behavior, Xiao Wu cursed in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.

Xiao Wu trembled with anger, her lips trembled, and she couldn't help herself from crying. She lamented in her heart, how could she even lose her freedom? The dream of the rivers and lakes at her fingertips was shattered, and Xiao Wu also heard the broken sound of her heart.

A hundred years is a long time! Xiao Wu's tears still flowed down uncontrollably.

"Do you want this gentleman to change the punishment for a thousand years?", glaring at the stubborn little girl in front of him, Qingtian threatened again.

Xiao Wu knew that the prince in front of him was ruthless and did not say anything, and knew that he could do anything. It's got his attention, it must be impossible to escape, and it can't be punished for another thousand years, right?

There is no need to weigh it, Xiao Wu also knows in her heart that she has no choice but to accept it. She got up in hatred and left angrily.
