Everything was finally ready, but when the last day came, Ziyu felt nothing, no nostalgia, no sadness, but some, maybe hope for tomorrow.

Even if they escape from the palace and head to Wanlian Mountain, the journey may not be smooth, but this is their last chance.

On this day, the sun was sunny and there was a gentle breeze. Ziyu stood in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, looking at the gently rippling lake in ecstasy. Xiaoxiao stood beside her quietly. There were only insects and birds singing all around.

The sound of calling.

"Xiao Xiao." Zi Yu slowly turned around, looked at Xiao Xiao, and smiled lightly.

"Miss Ziyu, what are your orders?"

"Can you send a message to the emperor and ask him to come to Jinyu Garden tonight? I want to see him."

"Yes, yes, I'll go right away." There was excitement on Xiao Xiao's face, as if Zi Yu and Xia Chengyin could reconcile as before, which was her most important wish.

Ziyu reached out and touched the small lock around her neck that had been with her for many years. Maybe she would never be able to take it away from her body in the future, but she would learn to bury all the memories about it.

In the evening, Xia Cheng Yinxing hurriedly came to Jinyu Garden. This was the first time Ziyu wanted to see him since he came back. His happiness was indescribable.

Ziyu asked Xiaoxiao to prepare wine and food, which were all Xia Chengyin's favorites, and then stood quietly by the window, waiting for Xia Chengyin to appear. Tonight, everything would be over, and her eyes were a little dim.

The door was gently pushed open, and Xia Chengyin walked in. Ziyu didn't look back. He let him walk behind him, gently hugged him, put his head on his shoulder, and his breath was warm, as if he had been left out.

The children regain their happiness.

"Do you know how happy I am to hear you say you want to see me?"

"Aren't you afraid that what I want to tell you is not what you want to hear?"

"No, I have a hunch." Xia Chengyin's gentle kiss fell on Zi Yu's neck, and Zi Yu felt a sense of sadness.

"I asked Xiaoxiao to prepare some of your favorite dishes. Eat something first. You must be hungry."

He still hugged me and said softly: "How wonderful it would be if you waited for me to come back for dinner every day from now on."

Yes, how wonderful it must be, Ziyu sighed.

Xia Chengyin followed Ziyu to the table, picked up the bowls and chopsticks, and ate with Ziyu. She picked up the dishes for him, and he looked at her with a smile. Everything was very warm, and he had never felt warm before.

"Do you still remember the first time we met? You saved me from a tiger's mouth." Ziyu recalled the past. At that time, no matter how much unwillingness there was, it was still beautiful. At that time, Xia Chengyin was still a gentle and graceful person.

Young man, but now, he is a domineering king, different, everything is different.

"So how are you going to repay me?" Xia Chengyin looked at Zi Yu with a smile. This smile was no longer impure. It was a smile that Zi Yu was familiar with. For a moment, she was a little intoxicated.

"I've prepared a special dish for you." Ziyu called to Xiaoxiao and brought in the roasted sweet potatoes prepared earlier in the morning. Xia Chengyin smelled the aroma and was quite excited.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten. I miss you so much. Ziyu, you're interested."

"Drink this glass, I respect you." Ziyu finally picked up the wine glass, which contained Pei Jin's special drug, which can make people sleep for a day and a night, and Ziyu had already taken the antidote, so

Even if you drink that wine, you won't be unconscious.

Xia Chengyin drank wine enthusiastically, and the medicinal effect did not take effect quickly, but made people fall asleep naturally. Ziyu chatted with him about the past, but his heart became more and more painful. If he said that there was no reluctance at all, it must be a lie.

, but she didn’t want to change what was destined.

"I'm a little sleepy." Xia Chengyin suddenly felt drowsy. He pulled Zi Yu up and walked to the bed. He held Zi Yu's hand tightly, so afraid of losing her.

Ziyu covered Xia Chengyin with the quilt and gently stroked his face. He pulled her in and leaned against his chest. His lips pressed against her tightly. The kiss was lingering and lingering.

Deeply. Ziyu's eyes were filled with tears, glittering and translucent. This must be the last kiss.

Xia Chengyin fell into a deep sleep, and Ziyu whispered: "Goodbye." At this time, her face was covered with tears.

She quickly changed into a eunuch uniform, and then took away the token from Xia Chengyin that allowed him to enter and leave the palace. She took one last deep look at Xia Chengyin, then blew out the candles and climbed out of the window.

Outside the window, Yu Zhao was already waiting. He took Ziyu and quickly walked towards the city gate.

Because it was dark, the guards in the palace didn't pay much attention to Zi Yu and Yu Zhao. One was a guard and the other was a eunuch. There was nothing suspicious about them.

When they finally arrived at the city gate, the dedicated guards began to inspect them carefully. Yu Zhao's token could have allowed him to enter and leave the palace freely, but Ziyu's token was personally owned by the emperor, so

The guard became suspicious.

"Isn't this the emperor's personal token?"

"Yes, a servant is someone who is close to the emperor. He goes out of the palace to do things according to the emperor's orders."

"The person around the emperor? I've never seen you before. What's your name?"

"This slave is new to the Emperor, and his name is Baolai." Ziyu was nervous and could only make up random things.

"Baolai? I've never heard of such a person beside the emperor."

"What's wrong?" A familiar voice sounded from not far away. Zi Yu secretly screamed, lowering his head and hiding behind Yu Zhao, who couldn't help but become nervous.

After Ran Yuan approached, he looked at Yu Zhao doubtfully, and then directed his sharp eyes at Zi Yu.

The guards saluted Ran Yuan one after another, and then reported the situation of Yu Zhao and Ziyu.

"Baolai?" Ran Yuan finally saw that face clearly through the moonlight. Shangguan Ziyu actually wanted to leave the palace. What did this woman want? But looking at her expression, it was clear that she was leaving forever.

After all, for Xia Chengyin, she is the biggest obstacle for him to become a true king. "Oh, yes, I have just joined the emperor recently, and the emperor thinks highly of her."

"Oh, that's no problem, open the city gate."

Ran Yuan had been sending Yu Zhao and Ziyu out of the palace.

"Why do you want to help me?" Ziyu didn't understand why a person who had always been hostile to him would help him at this moment.

"For the sake of the emperor, you should also understand that as long as you are here, the emperor cannot truly become an unparalleled king." Ran Yuan remained calm and calm as always.

"But if you let me go, Xia Chengyin will know when the time comes..." Ziyu understood that this time she escaped, Xia Chengyin would not let anyone involved in the matter go. She was also worried about complicating Yu Zhao, but Yu Zhao was

He protects Ziyu with the determination to die. After all, for him, if the person he loves the most is not around, the remaining years will be meaningless.

"I have my own way. You go quickly. You must leave Yancheng before dawn."

Yes, with Ran Yuan's wisdom and his position in front of Xia Chengyin, he will be fine. Zi Yu thanked him and left quickly with Yu Zhao.

In the night, Ran Yuan's shadow was stretched long by the moonlight. He watched Ziyu disappear into the deep night. In his heart, he was full of admiration for her courage.

Ziyu and his party rushed towards Wanlian Mountain non-stop. At this time, Xia Chengyin finally woke up. His head hurt. There was no figure of Ziyu beside the bed, and the room was empty. He quickly got up.

An ominous premonition enveloped him.

There was a white envelope beside the pillow, and Xia Chengyin opened it.

"Chengyin, I'm sorry, I still can't stay with you. Love is dead. If I continue to stay, I will die too. Whether you blame me for being selfish or ruthless, I won't mind. But

, I still want to tell you that once, I really loved you and I will never forget you. We belong to two different worlds.

People in this world, I come from another time and space, there is no way to live in this world. This is the secret I have been hiding from you. I am sorry. I only hope that you can become a good emperor who is truly loved by the people and become a good emperor who is truly loved by the people.

A king who makes the country prosperous, you will promise me, right? Goodbye, Chengyin, take care of yourself."

Xia Chengyin read the letter, pain, annoyance, and resentment all came to him. He knew that Ziyu must be rushing to Wanlian Mountain. He had no time to hold anyone accountable, so he quickly headed north with a large number of people.

In summer, there is still thick white snow on the top of Wanlian Mountain. Ziyu, Yi Yang, Pei Jin and Yu Zhao finally rushed to Wanlian Mountain day and night, but it took them a lot of effort to find the magical cave.

.

"Ah." Ziyu slipped and almost fell into the valley. Fortunately, Yu Zhao caught her in time, and Pei Jin also rushed over to help, and he pulled her up.

Ziyu was still in shock, but Yiyang looked at the valley and felt that it seemed familiar. Looking carefully, she found the cave.

"Here." Yi Yang shouted excitedly.

Ziyu and Pei Jin also came over in surprise, and there was a sense of pleasure in completing the mission on Yu Zhao's face.

"Let's go." Ziyu greeted Yu Zhao, but Yu Zhao shook his head.

"You go, I'll stay here."

"Xia Chengyin will not let you go, come with us."

Yu Zhao smiled and shook his head: "From the moment Ming Ye died, I was also dead. Now, I have completed what they failed to complete on his and the boss's behalf, and I can also face them openly. Let's go,

Don’t worry about me, Ming Ye is here and I won’t go anywhere.”

"Yu Zhao." Ziyu also had pain in his eyes.

At this time, the sound of a large group of people advancing was heard in the distance. Yu Zhao looked startled and turned around to see that Xia Chengyin had already led the large group of people to catch up.

"Let's go." Yu Zhao stood in front of Zi Yu and let Zi Yu go first. Zi Yu saw the aloof Xia Chengyin in the distance. His face was amazingly beautiful, but his eyes were so angry and lustful.

It makes people shudder.

Ziyu hurriedly walked towards the cave. Pei Jin realized that the situation was critical, so he asked Yiyang to take Ziyu down to the cave first.

"Shangguan Ziyu, stop here." Xia Chengyin's voice was a roar of despair. Ziyu couldn't help but look back, his tearful eyes filled with determination.

Zi Yu shook his head and continued to walk forward. Yi Yang looked at Pei Jin anxiously, and Pei Jin smiled and said, "I'll be there soon."

Pei Jin and Yu Zhao fought against Xia Chengyin's men alone. Yi Yang and Zi Yu walked to the cave and looked at them worriedly.

"Pei Jin." Yi Yang called Pei Jin's name, feeling uneasy in her heart. She was afraid of losing Pei Jin again.

"You guys leave quickly." Pei Jin knocked down an opponent and took a few steps back. Yu Zhao was also trying his best to cover him.

Xia Chengyin finally couldn't bear it anymore. He couldn't let Zi Yu leave him again. He jumped off the horse and chased Zi Yu all the way. Zi Yu was shocked, picked up Yi Yang and ran towards the depths of the cave.

"But Pei Jin..." Yi Yang kept looking back, but the cave gradually turned dark, and she was filled with fear.
