My elder sister forced me to become a concubine; I was reborn and remarried into the emperor's

At the same time, a eunuch dressed as a stable boy opened the stable door, and several tall horses, including Lieyang, seemed to sense the call and galloped out of the stable.

The eunuchs guarding the garden didn't have time to react and were completely unable to stop these unruly and untamed patriarchs.

No one noticed that a thin eunuch mounted the large, jet-black horse, squeezed its flanks, and escaped the riding field amidst the chaos.

With winter fast approaching, Beijing has been experiencing days of overcast and rainy weather, and the days are getting longer and longer.

As dawn broke, the dung cart carrying night soil was about to leave the side gate of the palace. The guards at the gate yawned and shook off the raindrops. Just as they opened half of the city gate, a figure flashed past them like lightning.

The speed was so fast it was like a shadow. He was stunned for a moment, rubbed his eyes, and nudged the person next to him.

Did someone just go out?

Entering or leaving the palace requires a jade token. The group looked at each other, wanting to speak but not daring to. If Commander Gong found out, they would be accused of dereliction of duty for letting people out.

It's not as simple as just losing your job.

Just then, someone came to ask if any women had been seen leaving the palace recently.

Someone said decisively, "No, no!"

They all denied it, as no one could be sure if they were seeing things. Even if someone had ridden away on horseback, the rider would have to be a man, not a woman.

Moreover, those who could ride horses in the inner palace were not ordinary people.

They hadn't forgotten that the fool who had stopped the horse before had his eyes gouged out and his tongue cut out, and died without a burial place.

Therefore, it was a day later that Pei Yuyan learned that Wei Nanxun might no longer be in the palace.

-

A petite and slender figure sat on a horse, her long hair tied up, dressed in a plain brown cloth robe, riding swiftly.

If someone accidentally bumps into a vendor, they only have time to drop a few coins before disappearing into the crowd without looking back.

She didn't know how far she had run, nor where she was now; she just ran desperately toward the road ahead.

The insides of her legs were already chafed raw, the skin clinging to her pants and aching slightly, but she seemed oblivious to the pain and fatigue, running nonstop.

Only occasionally, when he couldn't tell which way was which, would he stop, take out the simple parchment from his pocket, and painstakingly try to determine the direction.

This person was naturally Wei Nanxun.

She knew that as long as she stayed obediently in Changchun Garden, no matter how capable Pei Yuyan was, he couldn't do anything to her.

But what good would it do for her to hide inside? If Pei Ji were to get into trouble and the Great Yan fell into Pei Yuyan's hands, then all the people under heaven would be his subjects, and she and her family would have nowhere to escape.

By then, it will be the same for her wherever she is.

The reason why Ji Feng wasn't allowed to pursue Pei Ji was simple: he was too conspicuous. If he left the palace or the capital, Pei Yuyan would definitely notice.

Only by having him distract Pei Yuyan could she take the opportunity to inform Pei Ji.

Although I had ridden back to Beijing on horseback before, this time was completely different.

Last time, it only took half a day, and her companions were not only protected by so many family members, but everyone also tolerated her riding very slowly. This time, however, she has to ride alone, race against time, and step out of the capital city alone to face all the unknowns and adventures.

She felt uneasy and fearful before mounting the horse, but then she thought of the scene of blood flowing like rivers in her dream, and Pei Ji being trapped in a sea of ​​fire.

If that moment ever comes, perhaps death will also await her.

She then stopped feeling afraid.

"Lieyang, take me to find Pei Ji. Once we find him, we'll go save him."

Pei Ji once told her that horses are extremely intelligent and understanding. On the battlefield, they are their partners who fight side by side. When they are lost or cannot tell which way to go, they can also lead them back home.

She chose to believe in Pei Ji and Lie Yang.

In the past, he was always the one who appeared in time to save her and get her out of trouble.

So this time, it was her turn to find him.

Wei Nanxun said so, but Ji Feng didn't know Pei Ji's exact whereabouts, only that he went west.

It seems there has been some unrest on the northwestern border. The Northwestern King is critically ill, and the war situation has taken an unexpected turn when Man Xinghe led the troops to fight.

It would have been better if she hadn't heard about this. But once she heard that it was related to Manxinghe, it confirmed all the details that Wei Nanxun had heard in her previous life, and made her even more certain that the frame-up might have happened a few years earlier because of her rebirth.

But she knew nothing about the defeat she had heard about in her previous life or the ambush in the valley in her dream. She could only follow the general geomantic map that Ji Feng had drawn for her and believe in Lie Yang.

At first she could hold on, but the blazing sun was faster than an ordinary horse, and winter was approaching. There was also a light drizzle, and the wind was like a knife lashing her face, while the icy rain poured down her neck.

She changed into a raincoat, put on gloves and knee pads, and wrapped herself up in a scarf until only her eyes were exposed, and then she felt a little better.

But soon it got dark, and the last rays of the setting sun were about to disappear at the end of the road.

She didn't even dare to waste time eating, and hesitated whether to wait until dawn to continue forward.

But she simply couldn't fall asleep.

It wasn't that she was too precious to sleep because of the harsh environment; it was just that every time she closed her eyes, those bloody images kept appearing, including him covered in blood.

Ling Weinan couldn't close his eyes at all. Since he couldn't sleep, he simply continued forward.

But it was too dark, and she was unfamiliar with the terrain. Lieyang was leading her up a steep mountain path, and Wei Nanxun lost her balance and fell heavily off the horse.

It was only because the road was too rugged, slowing her down considerably, and she fell into a pile of grass and trees that she didn't break her leg.

But her body still slammed heavily against the tree trunk, the pain making it hard for her to breathe. It felt like every part of her body ached, and she couldn't get up even if she wanted to.

The cold rain fell on her body, and the sky was about to darken completely. All around was a deserted wilderness.

Wei Nanxun tried to move, but her palms were already cut by the pebbles, and her body was covered in countless wounds. She would fall back down as soon as she got up an inch, and she had already lost all her strength.

She lay there, her eyes vacant as the night swallowed her up.

So tired and in so much pain.

Was this the same kind of exhaustion Pei Ji felt when he was injured and collapsed before? But if it were him, he probably wouldn't be so useless.

Hot tears streamed down her cheeks, and her vision quickly blurred.

Her body grew colder and colder, and her eyelids grew heavier and heavier until they eventually closed up.

Pei Ji, it seems she will never see him again.

Goodbye, Pei Ji.

……

Wei Nanxun.

Wei Nanxun.

In a daze, Wei Nanxun seemed to hear someone calling her name, but she was too exhausted to open her eyes and had no strength to struggle.

She just wanted to lie there.

No more being forced to do things you don't want to do, and no more worrying about whether tomorrow will be worse.

Without her, perhaps my father and brother would be more at ease, and no one would persecute them anymore.

But, is this how this life is going to end?

She was so unwilling.

She hadn't seen the wider world, she hadn't been able to be with the one she loved, she hadn't been able to enjoy life, and now she was going to die like this?

Ah Yue.

Ah Yue.

Ah Yue.

Someone is calling her.

It is Pei Ji.

She cannot die yet, she cannot admit defeat yet.

Wei Nanxun suddenly opened her eyes...
