Only then can I leave Han Wen.
On the way back, I carefully recalled my conversation with Jiang Zhizhu.
Fortunately, I did not reveal any flaws.
Jiang Zhizhu is a smart person; no matter how clever she is, she cannot guess my true intentions.
I lowered my gaze to hide the emotions in my eyes.
However, I wouldn't say I was deceiving Jiang Zhizhu.
After all, I really no longer have feelings for Han Wen.
I remembered Jiang Zhizhu's words; she said that Forgetfulness Gu is truly a wonderful thing.
I scoffed softly; whether Forgetfulness Gu is good or not, I don't know and don't want to know.
All I know is that Forgetfulness Gu helped me achieve my goal.
Forgetfulness Gu helped me forget Han Wen.
Forgetfulness Gu severed my ties to the past.
Forgetfulness Gu gave me the courage to leave.
I raised my head and looked at the palace gate before me; I knew the time had come.
Han Wen had been gone for three days now.
These three days felt like years to me.
I was waiting, waiting for the right moment.
Tonight, the moon is bright and the stars are few, while the crows fly southward.
I lowered my gaze and whispered, "The time has come."
Yes, the time has come.
Tonight is when I will leave.
The moment to leave was something I had chosen long ago.
The destination for my departure is a place I have long wanted to go.
I took a deep breath and opened the palace gate.
Under the night sky, there was no one around.
I smiled lightly and then quickly walked out of the palace gate.
Yes, when I say leaving, I do not mean leaving Han Wen, but leaving the imperial palace.
I am not leaving with Han Wen, but with Biqiong.
My mother had planted informants in Han Wen's circle.
That is why I am well aware of Han Wen's every move.
My mother helped me arrange everything for leaving the palace.
Biqiong and I stepped out of our encampment.
Indeed, I had already left the palace.
I had calculated the timing; as soon as Han Wen left, it was the perfect moment for me to depart.
I knew that Han Wen was going into a perilous situation this time.
However, that had nothing to do with me.
I did not care about Han Wen's life or death, nor did I care whether she would return.
Because I would not wait for her.
I had long planned my escape route.
Thus, Biqiong and I crossed the towering mountains within three days and approached the Qiang Region.
I knew that Han Wen would never expect me to leave.
Yes, I had indeed left.
In my hand, I held the travel documents that had been prepared in advance; I was going to leave Great Yin.
Yes, I was going to leave Great Yin.
I wanted to go beyond Great Yin and find a place that I liked.
I wanted to live the life I desired outside of Great Yin, carefree and true to myself.
Biqiong and I sat in the carriage, driven by a coachman that Biqiong had found.
The coachman did not know our identities; he only thought we were sisters visiting relatives in a neighboring town. After all, both Biqiong and I were dressed as women.
Biqiong and I sat in silence. I knew Han Wen would not chase after us. However, for some reason, I felt a vague sense of unease. I shook my head, thinking to myself that perhaps I was overthinking it.
I lifted the curtain of the carriage and glanced outside. It was a desolate landscape. Yes, completely barren. After all, we were less than a kilometer away from the Qiang Region. I estimated that in half an hour, we would reach the neighboring town. Once we arrived there, we would be completely safe. The thought made me involuntarily smile slightly.
A quarter of an hour later, the carriage suddenly came to a halt. I was taken aback and then looked at Biqiong. She mouthed to me, "Someone is coming."
I instantly became alert. Sure enough, moments later, someone shouted sternly, "Stop!" Hearing that familiar voice made my pupils dilate in shock. It was Han Wen's men.
