On July 10th, at the 48th birthday banquet of Queen Duan Xuefu, Zhao Jihuan was still drinking and chatting with the officials. I left the table early on the excuse of being slightly ill. On the way back to the palace, Aunt Haitang found me and led me into Duan Xuefu's palace. I waited quietly for a long time, feeling a little uneasy in my heart.

Duan Xuefu walked over slowly, and I quickly saluted. She gently lifted me up and looked at me for a moment, then patted my hand gently, with a hint of worry in her voice:"Xingxing, you are thinner than when you first arrived."

I smiled and responded:"Actually, I have gained some weight."

She sighed softly and said firmly:"Xingxing, please leave Huan'er."

I looked at her in surprise. She touched my cheek tenderly, with love and reluctance in her eyes:"I asked you to You must be very puzzled to become the Crown Princess. In fact, because of the serious crimes he committed in the past, His Majesty has always been worried that his son will have a bad fate and die without a heir. Tuo'er's departure has been a huge blow to His Majesty. , and then he was too indulgent towards the children. Your Majesty and I have been praying to the gods and Buddhas for ten years, and each time we were willing to sacrifice ten years of life in exchange for the health of our children. But you really fell from the sky, and your Majesty regarded it as a gift from God.. We also found that after you came, Zhao Jihuan and Zhao Yuan gradually recovered. We are all grateful to you. But now, Zhao Jihuan has to give up the throne for you, which I can never accept. I know you can understand my difficulties."

I nodded silently, with mixed feelings in my heart:"Mother, I have been taking care of you these days!" I knelt down and said sincerely,"Thank you for your tolerance and blessing this time! As for Your Highness, the reason for my departure is that I You can go home."

Under the soft palace lantern, Duan Xuefu walked slowly to my side, her eyes as deep as lake water, full of complex emotions. She gently took my hand and gently held me in her arms. There was a hint of helplessness and reluctance in her voice:"Originally I didn't plan to separate you, but recently His Majesty discovered that Huan'er has begun to slowly delegate power to Yuan'er. After our consideration, the biggest reason is still you. Xingxing, why Do you want to leave here?"

I raised my head, looked at her eyes full of concern and doubt, and said softly:"I like the feeling of freedom. It's very good here. It's a matter of my nature. I long to be free. Life." I took a deep breath and said firmly:"If I leave, I hope no one will be sent to follow me. Just treat it as if I really left. This will be good for everyone. Your Highness can also start over as soon as possible."

Duan Xue Fu looked at me, her eyes full of thinking and exploration. After a long time, she whispered:"Xingxing, you......"She lowered her head and just patted my back gently, and said with a smile:"So be it, everyone is happy!"

On the night of July 31st, I rode a carriage and slowly left the bustling imperial city. Door. I opened the car curtain with mixed emotions and looked up at the starry night sky. I thought I could easily leave this familiar place, but at this moment, my heart was filled with a heavy sense of loss.

The night wind gently brushed my cheek, and I reluctantly stared at the city wall in the distance, feeling an indescribable emotion in my heart. Did he leave so easily? Have I really left?

I reluctantly put down the car curtain, thinking a lot. My eyes fell on the silver notes in the package, which were the three thousand taels of silver notes generously gifted to me by the Queen. However, even with these banknotes, my heart is still empty. Because apart from these banknotes, everything I have in Vanke City has been handed over to Zhao Jihuan. There are my treasure chests, the portraits of my parents, and the vegetables I grew myself. I haven’t even had a chance to taste a cucumber.

I gently stroked the ends of my hair. The originally bright red hair was now dyed black. At this moment, I deeply realized that I had completely severed contact with the original world, as if I could never return to the place I was once familiar with. The wood chip painting in my arms became my only solace.

However, as I looked down at my belly, I frowned. The carriage moved forward slowly in the night, taking me towards the unknown future. I prayed silently, hoping that life outside the palace would be as I wished.
