"Shangguan Wan'er, pack your things and leave the palace with us immediately."

Shangguan Wan'er was washing up, when she heard someone knocking on the door, she hurriedly wiped her face, opened the door and looked, she seemed to be two maids in the Palace of Ganlu.Before she had time to be happy, a maid opened her mouth.Hearing these words at first, Shangguan Wan'er seemed to be splashed with cold water from head to toe.

Last night, she was taking a bath at Zhang Jirong's place. Halfway through the bath, Zhang Jirong came back and told her that the empress dowager was in her room.I hurriedly put on my clothes and rushed over, my heart was half cold, the room was dark, and the door was still locked.Zhang Jirong who came after him was also surprised and opened the door for her.When the two went in, Shangguan Wan'er believed that Wu Meiniang had really been here.Almost everything in the house has been touched.On the sand table, the word "wan" was written in a flying style.Thinking that Tianhou finally forgave her and wanted to pick her up, she was so excited that she didn't sleep well all night.But I didn't want the maid to bring such news.However, how to explain Tianhou's actions last night?Shangguan Wan'er was in a daze.

"Shangguan Wan'er, pack up quickly, don't dawdle. Do you think you will be able to leave the palace if you delay?" The same maid who sent the order just now said impatiently.

Shangguan Wan'er looked up at her, bit her lip, and asked, "Is this what the Empress Dowager meant?"

"Yes." The other maid had also seen Shangguan Wan'er's glory in the past, and she couldn't bear to see her end up like this now. She was afraid that the maid next to her would scold Shangguan Wan'er, so she continued: "The empress dowager came back from outside last night. Ganlu Palace, call Liu Niang over and tell her to send the two of us to take you to Princess Xuancheng."

The ins and outs are so clear, it can be seen that it is not a lie.Tears gushed out of Shangguan Wan'er's eyes, her hands were tightly pressed against her front, her heart convulsed into a ball.It turned out that Tianhou came here last night to say goodbye to her?So no one was sent to find her at all.

Shangguan Wan'er couldn't stand upright, and slowly slid to the ground leaning on the door frame, her tears kept streaming down like broken beads.The standing maid got impatient and scolded: "You knew why you did it today. What's the use of crying now. Get up quickly and pack up and go with us. We are still waiting to go back and return."

Shangguan Wan'er was originally a very stubborn person, she would never have shown weakness in front of others like this in the past, but suddenly she was hit by a thunderbolt from the blue sky, she lost her soul and caused chaos.Although she heard the maid taunting her, she was choked up from crying and her body was so weak that she couldn't stand up, how could she be brave.Another maid stretched out her hand to pull the maid who spoke just now, shook her head, and signaled her not to push her too hard.

After about half a cup of tea, the other maid looked at Shangguan Wan'er who finally calmed down a little, and then said, "Girl, we are also following orders. Liu Shanggong ordered us to go back and return immediately after finishing our work. We don't want to embarrass you." Girl, please don't make things difficult for us."

Shangguan Wan'er bit her lip hard, trying to force a smile, but she was so embarrassed, she couldn't smile, so she sighed, slowly got up from the ground, went back to the room, came out for a while, and looked at the two people who were waiting for her. A maid said, "You two sisters have been waiting for a long time, let's go now."

In the dark, Shangguan Wan'er followed the maid out of the palace and came to Xuancheng Mansion.

Shangguan Wan'er, whom she hadn't seen for nearly three years, suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, and Xuancheng, who had always remained motionless, couldn't restrain the surprise in her heart: "Wan'er, how could it be you?" The next moment, she realized that something was wrong.The maid following behind was not Cheng Yiwei, and her expression was even less kind.As for Wan'er, her clothes are rough, she doesn't see a single ornament in her hair, her figure is even thinner, her expression is calm, she doesn't have a trace of escape from the past.Thinking of Shangguan Wan'er going back angrily three years ago, what happened after she returned to the palace...

The maid behind Shangguan Wan'er saw that Shangguan Wan'er called the owner of the mansion, Sister Xuancheng, and knowing that the task had been completed, she said, "Shangguan Wan'er, we have sent you to the princess' mansion. From now on, you must not appear in the palace again." In the palace, if there is any violation, I will be killed immediately. I will leave."

Shangguan Wan'er watched the two maids pull away, gradually drifting away, and soon left the gate without a trace.From then on, I never saw the Queen of Heaven again.

"Wan'er..." Shangguan Wan'er suddenly fell backwards.Xuancheng exclaimed, caught it with his upper body, and saw Shangguan Wan'er's face was pale, her eyes were closed tightly, and she had already passed out.

"This girl is fine. It's just that she was in a hurry just now. In addition to worrying and worrying on weekdays, overwork and lack of maintenance, she suddenly fainted. I will prescribe a prescription later, and you can take a few doses according to it. It's over. But," the doctor who was invited to treat Shangguan Wan'er stroked his beard and said, "This girl is weak in the first place, so she shouldn't be too tired in the future. You should also persuade her to relax a bit, or she will still be in trouble." Her bones are bound to suffer."

Seeing that Shangguan Wan'er hadn't woken up yet, Xuancheng asked Mrs. Zhu to take the doctor out, and asked the maid to buy medicine with the prescription, and sat in front of the bed to watch.

"Wan'er, what happened to you?" Xuancheng looked at Shangguan Wan'er who was crying continuously even though she was asleep, and sighed, "I knew something was wrong when you ran out the other day, but in the yard Your life is at stake, and I can't run out to chase you. I can only hope that she loves you as much as you said. Unexpectedly, you have been away for three years. I worry day and night, and I don't know what is going on with you in the palace. .Now it looks like you have been suffering for the past three years."

Xuancheng caressed Shangguan Wan'er's pale cheeks with pity: "A person like her would not even let her own children go, let alone you. It is actually a good thing that you were kicked out of the palace by her. Banjun Like a tiger, she is more terrifying than tigers and wolves, and you are simple-minded, and it will be hard to get along with her, so it is better to leave the palace like this."

Shangguan Wan'er heard someone whispering in her ear, she woke up slowly, it turned out to be sister Xuancheng.

"Wan'er, are you awake?" Xuancheng cried out in surprise when he saw Shangguan Wan'er opened his eyes.

Shangguan Wan'er smiled weakly, her body seemed to weigh a thousand catties, she was sore and tired, she couldn't move.Xuancheng looked at Shangguan Wan'er as if she was about to get up, and hurriedly held her down: "Wan'er don't move, I'll get you whatever you want."

Xuancheng kept guarding Shangguan Wan'er's bed like this, feeding her water, waiting for the maid to bring the medicine and then feeding her medicine, until Shangguan Wan'er lay down after taking a few mouthfuls of food, turned around and fell asleep. She tucked in the quilt and went back to her room.

"Why is Shangguan Wan'er here again? I'm really afraid of her." A maid staying in Shangguan Wan'er's room said to another maid.

"That's right," another maid curled her lips with lingering fear, "I was really scared to death that time. The princess's face was swollen because of her. We were even worse, almost all of us were beaten to death. At that time, watching those people take Standing all over the yard with a stick, I was so scared that my legs trembled."

"Princess, it's true that she was so troubled by her that she was allowed to come. If it were me, I would never dare to let her in again."

"I heard that she was kicked out of the palace. The people in the palace sent her to the princess today and said that she would never be allowed to enter the palace again."

"Hey, why did you send it here? Really."

……

Listening to the two maids chatting one after another behind her, Shangguan Wan'er could only smile wryly.It turned out that Ye Ting was not the most unbearable place.At this moment, she is actually avoided by everyone.It's just that, now that she is completely weak, she has no choice but to drag them down for a few more days.

Thinking of that person in the palace, Shangguan Wan'er felt another twinge of pain in her heart.It's not like she didn't expect that the curtain between Wu Meiniang and her would end like this.During the two years in Ye Ting, she had been thinking about why she and Wu Meiniang were so angry at each other.At first, she thought it was her own reckless words that hurt Wu Meiniang's heart.However, later it was heard that Li Xian was bestowed to death, and Princess Taiping's son-in-law Xue Shao was starved to death in prison.Tiger venom does not eat children!

Different road non-phase plan.

Shangguan Wan'er closed her eyes in pain.Even if she and Tianhou are on good terms, what should come will always come.She couldn't ignore her conscience.She can't bear the cold-blooded killing of the person she likes.Perhaps, the Queen of Heaven had already seen the ending between them, so she sent her out of the palace first, so that she would not become a ghost under the sword of the Queen of Heaven in the future.

Parted ways, each side of the world.Is this a good ending?However, the world is vast, so where can she find a shelter for her who has nothing to rely on?

Five days later, Shangguan Wan'er left a letter and quietly left the Xuancheng mansion.

Walking along the street in a daze, Shangguan Wan'er didn't know where she was going.The only dozen or so copper coins she had on her had been exchanged for steamed buns just now, and now her pockets were empty.There is only one set of clothes in the bag on her shoulders, which is all her belongings.

Although Xuancheng took good care of her for five days, Shangguan Wan'er's body was too weak after all, she was out of breath after walking for a while, and her steps were weak.It's just that she doesn't know what else to do other than keep walking forward.

When the sky was dark, Shangguan Wan'er left Luoyang City and came to the suburbs.Dizzy, she couldn't hold it any longer, so she managed to sit down under a tree.Hearing the chirping of birds and beasts around him, he was terrified.Blessings never come, but misfortunes never come singly.But at this time, God started to rain again, pattering, and after a while, Shangguan Wan'er's clothes were drenched.Hungry, she couldn't bear the grievance in her heart, buried her head between her knees and began to cry.

When she was sad, someone suddenly touched Shangguan Wan'er's shoulder, which made her cry out in fright.Looking up and looking at the lantern carried by the visitor, wearing a snow gauze crown and a loose white dress, it turned out to be a female Taoist priest.

Hearing Shangguan Wan'er's scream, the female Taoist sneered and said, "Young lady is so timid, she dares to sit here alone in the dark. It's really courageous." After speaking, she raised the lantern and looked at Shangguan carefully. Waner.

The female Taoist's words hit Shangguan Wan'er's mind, she lowered her head and said slowly: "I have nowhere to go either."

The female Taoist priest saw that although Shangguan Wan'er was dressed in coarse cloth, she had beautiful features and a pretty face, and she was quite pitiful sitting under a tree drenched in the rain, so she felt sorry for each other, so she said: "Miss It's really inappropriate to sleep outside alone, and it's still raining, so it's inevitable that you'll get sick from the cold. If you can trust me, how about following me back to the Taoist temple for a short stay?"

Shangguan Wan'er hesitated for a while, if this person was not a female Taoist priest, she probably would not have dressed up like this, and her words would not be false, so she stood up and bowed to salute: "Thank you, Master."

The female Taoist priest smiled, turned around and led the way: "Come with me, girl, my carriage is right ahead."

Along the way, the two sat opposite each other in the carriage, chatting unavoidably.It turns out that this female Taoist priest's surname is He, she just entered the Sanqing a few days ago, and her name is Qingyu.He Qingyu talked a little about himself, and then asked Shangguan Wan'er why she was living alone.Shangguan Wan'er only said her name, and Yu Xuanji screamed:

"You are Shangguan Wan'er? Are you the Shangguan Wan'er who rejected the late emperor's offer to marry Prince Zhang Huai?"

This is already a long time ago.Shangguan Wan'er smiled silently, too many things happened after that, she had already put this matter behind her.Now that Yu Xuanji mentions it, it seems like an old dream to her.

This delicate and weak girl in front of me is Shangguan Wan'er who dared to reject the emperor's marriage offer?Yu Xuanji suddenly became interested, and looked carefully at Shangguan Wan'er by the light.Her shoulders are shaved, her figure is thin and thin, her face has a dusty face, only a pair of bright and clear eyes.The whole person was silent and desolate.Was it this kind of girl that Prince Zhang Huai liked back then?

"Miss Shangguan is from the palace, why did she appear outside Luoyang City?" Yu Xuanji handed Shangguan Wan'er a handkerchief, motioning her to wipe the rain from her hair.

Shangguan Wan'er thanked her, wiped it and said: "My words are useless and I broke the rules in the palace, so I was kicked out of the palace."

"Then what are the plans for Miss Shangguan in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er stopped wiping her hair and shook her head slowly: "I don't know either."

Yu Xuanji was bored at first, but suddenly such a misty person appeared and couldn't help being interested, so he suggested: "Miss Shangguan, if you have no plans, I have a suggestion. Now I live alone in the Taoist temple, and I am worried about it." Lonely, if the girl doesn't dislike it, how about living with me in the Taoist temple?"

Shangguan Wan'er thought for a long time, but after all, she had no place to hide, and now she couldn't even eat, so she had to ask others for help. She sighed inwardly, and thanked: "Thank you, Miss. It's just that Wan'er has nothing, so The troublesome girl is really sorry."

Seeing that Shangguan Wan'er agreed, Yu Xuanji smiled and said it was all right.Shangguan Wan'er thought for a while, then said: "I really have nothing to do to repay the girl, I just hope that the girl will not dislike me for being dull and vulgar, and accept me as a slave, so that I can repay the girl's great kindness."

Yu Xuanji said with a smile: "The sage said that everyone in the world is brothers, and this is not a great kindness. The girl is serious. Instead, I want to thank the girl for willing to sit with me in the Taoist temple."

However, Shangguan Wan'er only thought that she had received Yu Xuanji's great kindness, and she couldn't repay her, so she shook her head resolutely: "If the girl despises Wan'er, Wan'er dare not force her. Wan'er should find another place. Dare to trouble the girl."

Yu Xuanji saw that Shangguan Wan'er was so persistent, so he nodded and compromised: "Well, you can do whatever you like. However, in my heart, I still treat you as a friend and not as a slave."

Shangguan Wan'er smiled, she was very grateful to Yu Xuanji for her generous help, but she was only worried that she would not be able to repay her for taking her in.

The author has something to say: well, anyway, it’s another tribute to Wanzhao, so it’s okay to pay tribute to Yu Xuanji again.
