"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Xiaoying stumbled in from outside, the hairpin in her hair was crooked and her clothes were stained with dirty water.

It was inappropriate to yell in the palace. But she didn't care about that and shouted in panic:

"Princess Ruiping she...she..." The following words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't make a sound.

The luminous cup in Wen Yuan's hand fell to the ground with a clang. She stood up suddenly and said, "Prepare the sedan chair. I want to leave the palace."

Wen Yuan was rarely so flustered. Ever since Li Zhao ascended the throne, she was conferred the title of Imperial Concubine and always referred to herself as "This Palace".

At this moment, I was in a trance and even called myself wrong.

At this time, no one remembered to correct her etiquette. Xiaoying knelt before her and said, "Your Majesty, you are now under house arrest by His Majesty and are not allowed to leave Yonghe Palace."

Yes, Wen Yuan almost forgot that she was confined to her room by the emperor for three months, and only half a month had passed.

But, Xingyao...

Wen Yuan felt a sharp pain in his chest, so much so that his lips turned pale.

"My queen, my queen." Xiaoying supported her with tears on her face: "I'll go call the imperial physician."

Wen Yuan slowed down and waved his hand:

"No, Sakura, go out first and close the door. Come back at this time tomorrow. Remember, no matter who comes during this time, do not open the door."

Xiaoying's eyes were red from crying. She knew her own queen was no ordinary person, possessing extraordinary abilities. She could accomplish things that others couldn't. Seeing her queen's confident look, Xiaoying said nothing more, turned around and left, gently closing the door behind her.

Wen Yuan was the only one left in the huge room.

Wen Yuan took a deep breath, looked straight ahead, and said in his mind: "System."

System: [Host, you finally took the initiative to find me.]

Wen Yuan: [I remember I have a reward that I haven't redeemed.]

System: [Yes, space teleportation.]

Wen Yuan: [Exchange now.]

System: [Host, as your system, I have the obligation to remind you that this reward was originally intended for use in extremely dangerous situations such as fire, earthquake, cholera, assassination, etc. Your personal safety is now safe. Are you sure you want to use it?]

Wen Yuan: [Confirmed.]

System: [Again, once the reward is redeemed, it must be used immediately. Are you sure you want to use it?]

Wen Yuan: [Confirmed.]

System: [Exchange space is instantly successful. What is your destination?]

Wen Yuan: [Ruiping Palace Yaohua Garden]

System: [Please confirm, use the prop space teleportation, destination: Ruiping Palace Yaohua Garden]

Wen Yuan: [Confirmed!]

A white light suddenly appeared, Wen Yuan closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she was already in Yaohua Garden.

Compared with the Yonghe Palace with its numerous servants, Yaohua Garden seemed particularly deserted.

Even the air was filled with a lingering chill.

"Cough cough cough...."

A faint cough came from inside the house, and Wen Yuan immediately lifted her skirt and ran inside.

Through the screen, one can see the bed with carvings of flowers, birds and auspicious beasts. The bed curtains are tightly closed, and in the dim light, one can see shoulders as thin as a knife blade.

"Xingyao." Wen Yuan quickened his pace, lifted the bed curtain, and held Ji Xingyao's hand.

Those slender hands with fingers as white as onions now look withered, and the nails are blue-gray, showing that they are already at the end of their strength.

Xingyao is leaving.

"You're here, Ayuan." Ji Xingyao's eyes were blurred and covered with a layer of white mist. She was almost blind and could only see the outline of Wen Yuan.

"Xingyao--" Wen Yuan burst into tears, and the hot tears fell on the back of Ji Xingyao's hand which had long lost consciousness.

"Don't cry... cough cough... I've finally, finally waited for this day."

Wen Yuan held her hand tightly, his whole body shaking violently, unable to respond to Ji Xingyao's words.

"Finally, after three years... I'm free." Ji Xingyao was smiling.

She was so thin that only a layer of skin remained, her face was gray and dark, and there was no trace of the bright and beautiful girl she once was.

Seeing Wen Yuan crying uncontrollably, Ji Xingyao touched her cheek and coaxed her, "Don't cry."

"Silly boy, did you use space teleportation?"

"How could you be so stupid? I worked so hard to get this reward, and now I'm wasting it like this, ahem..."

Wen Yuan shook his head: "Of course I have to come and see you off."

"I'm going back to enjoy myself." Ji Xingyao reminded her.

"Yes, when we get back, I'll hire him ten or eight male models, and we'll have fun every night. We won't have to listen to those old feudal sermons anymore."

Ji Xingyao laughed: "Yes, we don't have to listen to the old feudal sermons anymore."

Perhaps it was a last burst of energy, Ji Xingyao's spirits improved a lot.

They talked a lot.

They talked about their university days in the capital, and their plans to spend lavishly after receiving a huge reward upon returning, but they tacitly avoided mentioning this imaginary feudal world.

"Ayuan, I'm sorry for you. You chose to stay with me, but I left first. It's so unfair."

"No, we are good friends, so of course we should be together. Go back and wait for me, take care of everything, and wait for my return."

"Well, there's nothing to remember here."

This damn feudal society has such a strong sexual contraction that there is really nothing to remember.

Ji Xingyao closed her eyes: "Ayuan, I'm so tired, I'm going to sleep for a while."

Her voice was as ethereal as the wind, and dissipated into the cold air as soon as it came out.

Wen Yuan's eyes were filled with tears, and he tried his best to suppress the pain in his heart: "Go to sleep, and when you wake up, everything will return to normal."

The sound of gongs and drums was heard in the distance, but only faint echoes remained when it reached Yaohua Garden.

Wen Yuan helped Ji Xingyao wipe her body and change her clothes, and tidied her dry hair. She loved to be beautiful the most, and this was the last dignity Wen Yuan could give her.

The candlelight flickered, and when the last ray of sunlight disappeared at the window sill, Ji Xingyao stopped breathing.

[Host Ji Xingyao dies, mission completes, leaves this world and returns to reality.]

"Mission completed... Mission completed..."

Wen Yuan muttered to himself.

She and Ji Xingyao have been in this world for eight years, witnessing the succession of dynasties in the Taifeng Dynasty. She almost forgot where she was born. This is the real era of peace and prosperity.

There, men and women are equal, there is no distinction between noble and humble, and everyone has the opportunity to change their destiny through studying.

There is no need to light glass lamps there, as the lights are bright at night and there are cars and planes outside.

Even if you don't go out, you can learn about the world through the Internet.

Instead of being trapped in this small space alone, without even anyone to talk to.

"It's good to go back, it's good to go back."

The cold wind came in through the window and blew out the only candle.

Yaohuayuan, the last trace of vitality is gone.

Until the moon was high above the head, the maid who had gone out returned to Yaohua Garden.

"Ah, ah, ah..." miserable cries rang out.

It was Tao Xi who secretly ran out of Prince Ruiping's Mansion in the afternoon to inform Concubine Wen Yuan.

The Ruiping Prince's Mansion was seven or eight miles away from the Imperial Palace. Tao Xi did not dare to stop even though she lost a pair of shoes while running. She passed the news that the princess was critically ill to the servant who was stationed outside the palace arranged by the Imperial Concubine.

After delivering the message, she ran back barefoot, with several bleeding holes on the soles of her feet when she returned to Yaohua Garden.

When she opened the bed curtain, she saw the dead body of her own princess.

Yaohua Garden, which is rarely visited by people, became lively with people coming in and out.

The moon was frightened by the hurried footsteps and hid in the clouds. Prince Ruiping, dressed in red wedding clothes, hurried into the yard.

However, a tall figure stood behind the screen and was reluctant to enter.

The old maid who had served him since childhood said tremblingly:

"Your Highness, the princess has passed away. Please... go in and take a look."
