Once a person leaves a long-term living environment, no matter how harsh the environment is, he will eventually feel a little uneasy. This is human nature, relying on the familiar environment and fearing the unknown future.

So on this last day, I spent it in a mixture of panic and joy.

When Yu'er watched me eating breakfast, even the hand holding the chopsticks was shaking, she said with a smile that such hands couldn't hold fish, and the two of them laughed again.

On the last day, the palace steward did not arrange anything for us, so many familiar sisters came to say goodbye to us, and also gave us a lot of exquisite needlework and gadgets accumulated in daily life. After all, we made five

Sisters who are 20 years old have not had many opportunities to meet each other after such a separation, and everyone is very reluctant to part with them."

I looked at them, and while I was happy for us, I also had unspeakable envy in my eyes.

Yu'er was really happy, so she simply dug into her own pocket and took two roast chickens from the aunt in the imperial kitchen. Unexpectedly, when the little girl who delivered the food box brought it over, she found that there was an extra pot of wine and a bowl of steamed rice wine.

Duck and a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus fish, it is said that my aunt practiced it for us.

Everyone became happy, and everyone had two drinks with the dishes. For a while, the small room in Yeting was very lively.

But seeing everyone laughing, I couldn't help but think of another person.

In the cold palace, I was still looking at Pei Yuanhao's condensed smoke.

Early this morning, I took a few coins and went to the cold palace, but I didn't go in. Instead, I asked a nanny I knew well to bring it to her.

In fact, it's not that I don't want to see her, I'm just afraid of seeing her. When I think of her, she still yearns for Pei Yuanhao's love. And I also clearly remember that when Yao Yingxue died tragically, Pei Yuanhao didn't even look at her. Ningyan

I'm afraid her dream will come to an end, and letting her know that I'm leaving when we meet again will only increase her troubles.

I just hope that she can figure it out and forget about that man.

I was still dazed when a glass of wine was handed to me. When I looked up, it was the little palace maid Shui Xiu who was toasting me and said with a smile: "Sister Qingying, don't forget us when you leave the palace. If you can in the future,

When I see my sister outside the palace, we are still good sisters!"

"Yes, they are still good sisters!"

Everyone raised their glasses, and I smiled and raised my glasses to drink with them.

The commotion lasted until the evening, and everyone was a little drunk. I told them to go back carefully and not to be discovered by the grandma in charge. I also took care of Yu'er, who was drunk and didn't know what to do, and went to bed until I finished taking a bath.

, washed away the smell of alcohol, and as soon as I got into bed, Yu'er moved over and hugged my waist.

I smiled and looked at her flushed cheeks and misty eyes: "You haven't sobered up yet?"

"Qingying, are we really going to leave the womb?"

"Of course. What's wrong?"

"I feel like I'm dreaming."

I smiled, patted her cheek, held her in my arms, and said: "This is not a dream, this is real, Yu'er, we can leave the palace tomorrow and leave here..."

Yu'er didn't speak, she just dug into my shoulder. After a while, she felt a wetness there. When she looked down, tears fell from the corners of Yu'er's eyes, which wetted her long eyelashes, and she muttered.

, as if he had fallen asleep, but felt a little uncertain and uneasy.

Really, you can leave. This is not a dream, it is real...

I murmured, not knowing whether to tell her or to myself. The candlelight slowly dimmed. I held her in such a dark night and spent the last night in Yeting.

……

The next day was a bright and sunny day.

If it weren't for the drinking last night, Yu'er and I would have been so excited that we couldn't sleep all night long. But even after drinking so much, we got up early in the morning, packed all our luggage, and waited.

The above instructions.

After a while, word came from the Chamberlain that all the maids named on the amnesty list were waiting at the side entrance of the South Palace Gate.

We both carried our luggage and went out. Along the way, we also saw other palace maids who had received amnesty. Everyone's eyes were red and they looked impatient. Several of them even couldn't stop crying and went out.

Liu, everyone went to Nangongmen together.

When I came to the side door of the Nangong Gate, I saw at a glance the high stone platform. Eunuch Yu was holding a volume in his hand and was looking at it slowly. Several young eunuchs were standing next to them with their heads bowed. The table in front of them was covered with red carpet.

Silk, brocade, and some hanging coins, and a few nuns standing under the stone platform, who had taught everyone when they first entered the palace.

Under the stone platform is a spacious avenue, and at the end of the avenue is the open palace door. The door is actually full of people, all of whom are relatives of the palace maids who have come to pick up the amnesty and are leaving the palace. They are all looking forward to it.

There were also several elderly mothers holding the door open and wiping their tears with their sleeves.

The time has come for the amnesty to begin.

Eunuch Yu opened the booklet and said loudly: "Shang Xiulan."

A palace maid immediately stood up from the crowd and looked at Eunuch Yu eagerly. Several nuns under the stone platform came up to check her body and luggage, then nodded to Eunuch Yu, who said fairly: "Shang Xiulan, please verify.

If you are in good shape, you will be rewarded with a piece of satin and five pennies."

Shang Xiulan hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to him, took the reward handed over by the young eunuch, then turned and walked towards the palace gate.

I watched her step by step eagerly, and finally reached the door. Her parents rushed towards her, and the whole family cried together.

The maids who were still waiting couldn't help but shed tears when they saw this scene.

I clutched the baggage in my hand tightly, feeling like my whole body was shaking.

"Li Wenfang, prove your true identity and reward..."

"Liu Yue, prove your identity and reward..."

"Zheng Chunhong, if you prove your true identity, you will be rewarded..."

……

The names of the palace maids standing around us were read one by one, and they stood up one by one. After verifying their identity, they rushed to the South Palace Gate. There were fewer and fewer people around, and the sun was shining brightly, and the spring breeze in March was blowing.

This time brings warmth, and even makes people feel a little burning.

I waited until my palms were covered in cold sweat, and it even soaked through the cloth bag in my hand.

In the end, only Yu'er and I were left here. She grabbed my hand unconsciously and hard, almost squeezing my wrist. At this moment, she heard Eunuch Yu calling her name——

"Song Yu'er."

When Yu'er heard this, her whole body trembled. She glanced at me, I nodded to her, and she walked forward. The same nuns came up to check her body and luggage, and confirmed

No more questions, Eunuch Yu said loudly: "Song Yu'er, if you prove your true identity, I will reward you with two pieces of satin and ten ounces of money!"

Yu'er looked at me happily, and I smiled at her, took what the little eunuch gave me, and she mouthed one sentence to me - "Waiting for you", and then turned towards the palace.

Go to the door.

Every step she takes seems to be on my heart, getting heavier and heavier.

I looked up at the roster in Eunuch Yu's hand, and felt that my heart couldn't bear the ecstasy at this moment, and it was very difficult to breathe. In the end, I could only hold my breath, waiting for my name to be read out from his mouth.

"Yue Qingying."

Finally, these three words came out of Eunuch Yu's mouth, and he himself seemed to pause for a moment and looked down at me. I was the only one waiting for amnesty here. He walked slowly to the foot of the stone platform and raised his head.

Look at him.

Eunuch Yu looked at me and wrinkled his gray eyebrows slightly.

The nuns had already come up. They were used to doing this. They looked at me blankly. One of the nuns opened my bag. Inside were just some personal belongings and the things I had accumulated over the years.

A bag of broken silver couldn't be simpler.

After checking, they nodded towards Eunuch Yu.

Eunuch Yu's face still seemed a little uncertain, but there was nothing else to do at this time. He finally held the booklet and said loudly: "Yue Qingying, if you prove your true identity, you will be rewarded——"

Before he finished speaking, a voice suddenly shouted loudly from behind: "His Royal Highness is here!"

What?

I was shocked and turned around quickly, only to see that familiar figure slowly walking towards this side from the other side of the palace wall.

Although he has not officially ascended the throne, he is already in full gear and looks impressive. When Eunuch Yu and the others saw him, they hurriedly walked down and knelt on the ground. I also knelt down with them and saluted him.

The sun jumped over the palace wall and cast a brilliant golden color on the ground. A pair of bright yellow boots stepped into the golden light and walked into my sight. They walked towards me step by step and finally stopped in front of me. A pair of bright yellow boots.

A low voice sounded above the head: "It's your turn to leave the palace?"

"Back to Your Highness, yes."

He turned around, looked at my bundle in grandma's hand, and seemed to smile: "It's very well prepared."

"..." At this time, I didn't dare to say anything. I could only lower my head and kneel at his feet. Although I tried my best to control myself, I couldn't control the trembling of my fingertips, as if they were about to break.

But Pei Yuanhao remained calm, as if he had no emotional fluctuations, and said: "You have also helped me a lot. Today, I will accompany you on this journey."

"This slave dare not——"

"Let's go."

I raised my head and glanced at him, but I saw that his calm face had no expression at all. Even if it was facing the sun, there was no warmth at all. It was as if his whole person was wearing a mask. I don’t know what the situation is now, but

I don’t want anything to happen at the last moment.

So, he slowly stood up, took the baggage, turned around and walked towards the palace gate.

This journey is not long.

But it seems that I have exhausted all my strength in my life.

Every step feels like stepping on my heart. Once I step down, my heartbeat can continue, but it also hurts terribly because every breath of the person behind me affects my heartbeat.

I don’t know if it’s my heartbeat that’s getting heavier or my steps that are getting heavier. It seems that even his breathing is getting heavier every time.

Finally, this road came to the end, and in front of us was the open door.

It was as if someone who had been walking in the darkness for a long time finally saw the light. The exhaustion after the urgency made my whole body tremble uncontrollably, and my steps were also extremely difficult, as if I had to use up all my body.

strength.

Just when I was about to take this step, a voice as cold as ice came from behind——
Chapter completed!
