The carriage drove slowly to the outside of the city. Along the way, apart from the sound of horseshoes, there was the sound of wind blowing leaves.

Jue Chenxi dragged her chin, and sat in the carriage looking at the receding trees outside the window in a daze. The wound on her body still hurt, but compared to her heart, it was not so painful.The pain in the heart, how can it be said that if it doesn't hurt, it won't hurt?

"What is Senior Sister thinking?" Chu Xiao sat opposite her and asked when she saw her lost in thought.

Jue Chenxi smiled faintly, "We will be free from now on, and we can pursue the life we ​​want in the future."

After speaking, he turned his gaze to the window again.

"Is sister happy?"

"Is it important to be happy or not? It's already a great thing not to make yourself sad." Jue Chenxi whispered to herself.

Chu Xiao shook her head, the senior sister had an unhappy expression on her face, the previous senior sister was not like this, she always looked indifferent, but now the senior sister is more humane.

"It's just that I didn't expect that such a big gang in Mount Qingcheng would all obey the royal family."

Jue Chenxi's eyes dimmed, and she muttered to herself, but she didn't know whether it was sorrow or joy, "I originally thought that this place would allow me to realize my dreams, but who knew that it would involve me in the struggle inside the red wall. Crossing swords and descending the mountain, I don't go up the mountain anymore."

"Chu Xiao, can you tell me about your hometown?" Jue Chenxi suddenly remembered something.His eyes brightened.

"My hometown... If it was in my hometown, we would be able to go to Jiangnan today." Chu Xiao thought for a long time, and gave a representative example.

Jue Chenxi was very surprised, "Aren't you kidding again? You can go to the sky in a short time?"

"What's the sky, even if you have money, it's not difficult to go to the sky." Chu Xiao laughed.The ancients were like curious babies.

"That's the prosperous age, right?" Jue Chenxi's eyes dimmed, and her mood was a bit complicated at this moment.It is a pity that I cannot witness it in my lifetime.

Chu Xiao thought about it and nodded.

"Then, what was the last name of the emperor in that era?" Jue Chenxi didn't give up, and continued to ask.

"Our royal family was surnamed Wen at that time. However, we had already implemented a constitutional monarchy at that time, and the rights belonged not to one individual, but to the entire country. The royal family was just a display to some extent." Chu Xiao waved his hands and said very Feel free to do so, for fear of irritating Jue Chenxi.

"In other words, in the future, the Yuwen clan will be overthrown?" Jue Chenxi's heart tightened.

"It doesn't count, does it?"

"Chu Xiao, can you predict the future?" Jue Chenxi approached Chu Xiao, holding onto Chu Xiao's skirt tightly.With anxious eyes.

Chu Xiao pursed her lips, "Senior sister, don't worry. In the next life, you will still be famous all over the world."

"I mean, Your Majesty... Her Majesty."

Chu Xiao's face showed embarrassment. "Senior sister, why worry about the future? Live the present."

Jue Chenxi stopped asking questions, she caught the regret in Chu Xiao's eyes.

After Jue Chenxi left, Yu Wenjue locked himself in the study room, and even went to court, evading it on the grounds that he was unwell.

When Yu Wenjing returned to the palace again, he heard the news that Jue Chenxi had left the palace.Go directly to the royal study.

Yu Wenjue rubbed his sore temples, with a tired look on his face.Seeing Yu Wenjing, she smiled, "Why is Miss Huang here?"

"I heard that the emperor hasn't gone to court for several days." Yu Wenjing frowned, with reproach in his tone.

The memorial that Yu Wenjue had just received fell to the ground again.She bent down to pick it up and put it on the table. "Sister Huang, I'm not feeling well."

"Your Majesty, don't forget how much we have sacrificed for this right and how long we have been preparing for it. Chenxi has Chenxi's responsibility, and you also have your responsibility.

You are the emperor, you are not ordinary people!If you feel that you can't take on this responsibility, that you can't be responsible to the world, then you will abdicate and make way for the virtuous! "

Yu Wenjing was a little angry. How many people were sacrificed in the struggle for power?

What a waste of time.Her current position was consolidated by countless royalists.

"Sister Huang, everyone wants to be able to choose their own life as soon as they are born, but I am the last one. Ordinary people are good, at least others can sleep soundly every night, and they can't worry that something will happen to make her unhappy when they wake up. things, she can live in peace.”

"Don't worry, Huang Jie, I will go to court tomorrow." Yu Wenjue held the book in his hand, his face became more serious, and he was silent for a while before saying.

Yu Wenjing was still heartbroken. He held Yu Wenjue in his arms and stroked her back. "Your Majesty, we have no choice. Who made us come from the emperor's family? Suspicion and calculation are commonplace. Chen Xi is not suitable for the deep palace. Let her go." Good strategy. Don't blame yourself, Your Majesty."

Yu Wenjing's sudden concern made Yu Wenjue's nose sour, and tears fell on Yu Wenjing's shoulders.

-- a few days later --

Soon, the rattling of horseshoes stopped.

Jue Chenxi jumped out of the carriage and saw a path hidden in the lush bamboo forest at a glance.

Looking around, the environment here is really quiet, and it feels comfortable to be in such a place.

She specially asked Chu Xiao to rent such a remote place, she likes to be away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

Jue Chenxi and Chu Xiao talked about unloading their luggage, and walked along the cobblestone path. The roadsides were full of green bamboos, and occasionally birds flew by. It was refreshing to watch.

The air is crisp in autumn, and the small courtyard in the evening looks more quiet.

Jue Chenxi looked at the remnant lotus in the garden, with a faint smile on her lips.She thought that if it was raining now, sitting in the pavilion, listening to the sound of rain, and reading a book would be a wonderful enjoyment.

Jue Chenxi asked Chu Xiao to bring the piano, and it seemed that she hadn't played the piano for a long time.

The last time was after the wedding, in order to get out of the palace, I specially played it for Yu Wenjue.

Slightly frowning, his fingers plucked lightly on the strings in front of him.Now she just feels that there are many feelings in her heart that need to be expressed.

I lowered my head and thought for a while, then unconsciously touched the piano with both hands, the melodious and melodious sound of the piano floated in the small courtyard, drifting further and further away with the evening wind.

Jue Chenxi closed her eyes slightly, and forgot everything else, her whole body was immersed in the cleansing of the music, as if she felt that all the troubles were gone.

At the end of the song, Jue Chenxi hadn't come out of the immersion just now, and her fingers were still on the strings. When she opened her eyes, her eyes were bright and radiant.

"Senior sister is very good at the piano." After Chu Xiao cleaned up the yard, she sat on the stone steps and listened carefully with her hand on her chin.

Jue Chenxi pursed her lips and said with a smile, "The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is so beautiful that I feel it."

"It seems that Senior Sister really likes this place." After thinking for so long, it was the first time Chu Xiao saw Jue Chenxi smiling so happily.The bottom of my heart is also happy.

"I have imagined countless times that I can live such an unfettered life, free and comfortable."

Jue Chenxi carefully put the guqin into the brocade box.Touch the fine lines on the box.

In retrospect, Yu Wenjue searched for this guqin for a long time before finding it for himself.On the day he left the palace, he took nothing away, except this piano.

After the lights were turned off, Jue Chenxi tossed and turned. She didn't know whether she was not familiar with the new environment or was too excited. There was always a revolving lantern in her mind, clearly showing her past three years.

Crystal clear teardrops slid from the corners of his eyes onto the pillow.

She obviously lost everything, she is obviously so sad, she has tried her best to restrain herself, why does Yu Wenjue's figure still exist like a nightmare.Always indelible.

"Why does the emperor treat me like this?" In the dark night, Jue Chenxi whispered.She didn't understand, she thought she could walk freely, but she still thought of Yu Wenjue in the dead of night.

Yu Wenjue's shadow chased from the capital to Jiangnan, and finally appeared in her dreams.

That person should be very happy now, right?She has everything she wants, she has become a real king, she can fulfill her apology, she can leave a name for generations to come, her relatives have returned to her, she is so happy.

Although it was Jue Chenxi herself who accomplished all of this, she still felt a little jealous.

In comparison, she now looks a bit like a bereaved dog.But she got the most important thing, that is freedom.This is what Yu Wenjue will never get.

In the early morning of the next day, early winter in the south of the Yangtze River, there is always a hazy enchantment, smoky, dreamlike, and a few faint fragrances in the air from time to time, refreshing the nose leisurely, making people feel refreshed.

Although Jue Chenxi's complexion was not very good, she still showed a long-lost smile after seeing such a beautiful scenery.

Smoke rises from the chimneys of every house.Chu Xiao gets up earlier than Jue Chenxi, and she hasn't cooked for a long time. In this life, she really wants to show off her cooking skills.

When the hot food was served on the table, Jue Chenxi was full of praise, only saying that Chu Xiao was hiding everything, but she also thought of an idea.

"Chu Xiao is so good at craftsmanship, why don't we go to the town to find a shop and start a small business. There are not many things brought out from the palace, so we can't just sit and eat."

When Chu Xiao was planning to leave the palace, Yu Wenjue ordered someone to bring a lot of rare treasures to the senior sister so that they could be pawned in case of emergency.

But the senior sister didn't take any of them, she only asked for a piano.She agrees with this proposal.

Jue Chenxi is a man of action. After breakfast, he took the neighbor's ox cart and went out. There are only one or two people in the village who have ox carts. It is said that the ox cart is just a piece of wood nailed to the tire without handrails, but here In the eyes of the villagers, it is also good.

Jue Chenxi dressed up as a man for convenience in the future. Although the cloth was rough, it was neat and clean, and a pair of boots were embellished with silver thread.Understated yet elegant.

"Young Master was the one who played the piano last night, right?" The old man who drove the ox cart chatted with the two of them in his spare time.

"Oh? Did the old man hear that?"

"We haven't had the sound of silk and bamboo all year round, but after the two of you moved here, I heard the so-called fairy music. It's really nice."

The old man smiled and opened his eyebrows, then continued, "Listen to the accent, you two don't look like locals."

Jue Chenxi was silent for a moment, and said with a friendly smile, "We came from the north, and we have longed for Jiangnan for a long time. Only when we came here did we realize that this place is more pleasant than the one described in the book."
