"So what did he say?"

"No, from her looks, she might need to hide outside for a while."

Princess Gong: “…”

She didn't say anything else, just patted Ruan Xinchen's hand and said, "It's okay, go back and rest."

"Thank you, mother."

Ruan Xinchen let out a long breath and returned to Cui Garden.

Now it is clear, and no one knows where Chu Xuanche and Chu Xuanling have gone.

That day, Caiyu suddenly asked her, "Sister Xiao, can we still get the pass?"

Road pass?

She had nearly forgotten about it.

"Last time Liu Si said the deadline was long?"

"It has to be done within March. It's already mid-February."

Ruan Xinchen suddenly realized and said, "Of course we have to do it."

"But..." Caiyu hesitated.

Ruan Xinchen said, "I have something to say."

Caiyu said, "You and the prince are so close now, why do we still need a pass? Sister Xiao, do you still want to leave?"

Ruan Xinchen shook her head.

"Not leaving?"

"No, I don't know now." Thinking about this makes my mind confused, and the contradiction inside cannot be described in words.

Freedom, he wants it all.

Contradiction is a feeling, and then you sigh: How can people be so contradictory?

Caiyu muttered, "Sister 께 is so bad."

Ruan Xinchen: “…”

"Silly girl, what are you talking about?"

Caiyu said: "You secretly obtained a fake household registration, a travel permit, and a fake identity. You are planning to leave. But...what will the prince do if you leave?"

Ruan Xinchen: “…”

"Caiyu doesn't understand, but Caiyu feels that since you have decided to leave, you shouldn't provoke the prince. You always say that he has a brain problem. If you suddenly don't say goodbye, this stimulation will drive him crazy."

This... this damn girl is so right.

Her contradictions in the early stage were not here.

Don't let him touch her, he said she wants to leave Zhenjie to Chu Li.

Provoked by his words, she took the initiative to kiss him.

This became an unstoppable relationship, and they gradually developed into the lip friendship we have today.

"You didn't say you were leaving. It's not easy to get a travel permit. If you can get it, just get it first. As for whether to leave or not... let's talk about it later."

The next day she went to apply for a travel permit, taking Caiyu with her, under the pretext that she was a woman from the capital who was planning to marry far away with her maidservant.

She handed over the materials that Liu Si had prepared for them in advance.

"This is 놖's household registration, and this is 놖's maid's indenture. Please make two copies. Sorry for the trouble."

In addition to the necessary expenses, she gave him a piece of change, "Official, take it to drink, don't mind if it's not worth it."

The other party immediately changed his face to a smile, "Madam 께, are you marrying far away with your maid?"

"Yes."

"Oh, marrying far away is really hard. If you are wronged in your husband's family, your family won't be able to support you. The capital is 3,000 miles away from Yizhou. It will take you several months to travel there."

"It's a little far, but there's nothing we can do about it. This is a marriage arranged by the elders in our family."

"Why would you marry someone so far away?"

Ruan Xinchen said with a distressed look: "The elder was a businessman. When he was doing business in Yizhou, he encountered local bandits and almost lost his life. Then the elder arranged a marriage with someone. The person he got engaged to was the grandson of his lifesaver."

The yamen runner understood and said no more.

After helping them, he said, "You two girls are not safe. You must be separated."

"My family has found a caravan for us to go to Yizhou. We can just follow the caravan. It's fine."

"That's good."

The other party showed them the way, and the two of them left the yamen together.

Caiyu admires Ruan Xinchen very much.

"Sister, when I heard him ask these questions, I was so scared that I didn't know what to say. I was afraid that he wouldn't help us. How did you take advantage of him and make up a story?"

Ruan Xinchen smiled and said, "I just said that."

"But you speak so eloquently, your mind works so fast, it's amazing."

Ruan Xinchen smiled and said nothing, thinking: Maybe this is... talent.

Seeing that it was still early, she took Caiyu out for a rare outing and took her for a walk.

Rouge shops and stalls selling toys are all favored by girls.

She was making candy figures with Caiyu and others when she suddenly saw a familiar figure.

The woman opposite had dishevelled hair and a dirty face, looking like a beggar.

But... she was too familiar with her in her previous life. Even though she looked so ferocious, she still recognized her at first sight.

"Excuse me, do you know Xiao Li?" she asked a stranger.

The other person covered his nose in disgust and avoided her like she was trash, "I don't know, go away."

She hurriedly asked, "How do we get to Mr. Xiao's house?"

"I don't know, I don't know. Why don't you walk away and not understand?"

Seeing that she was blocking the way, the other party ruthlessly kicked her and knocked her to the ground.

She fell on the ground, her hands were bleeding, and tears flowed from her eyes in pain.

She wiped her tears casually with her dirty sleeve and continued to ask the next person.

Caiyu finished making the sugar figurine, gave the money, and wanted Ruan Xinchen to go with her, but unexpectedly saw her staring at a beggar.

Caiyu hesitated for a moment, then took out a copper coin from her pocket.

After thinking for a while, he took out one, put two coins in total, and walked towards the woman.

"Girl, take this."

Xu Moer looked at Caiyu in surprise.

Ruan Xinchen looked at Caiyu in surprise.

Caiyu was a little surprised because she saw that Xu Moli's dirty face was actually not ugly.

The big eyes are watery, bright and clear.

She then added, "Don't ask for food in the middle of the road. You'll get beaten. Go to the side and get a broken bowl. It'll be easier that way."

She put the money back into her hand and went back to Ruan Xinchen.

"Sister, she looks like she is about the same age as us, and she is quite pitiful. I won't give her much, just two cents."

Looking at the innocent and kind-hearted Caiyu, Ruan Xinchen felt a lump in his throat.

Xu Moer really felt sorry for Caiyu's kindness.

Because, if he was implicated by Ruan Hong, he would be sentenced to death by imperial decree.

Then Caiyu was killed entirely on Xu Moer's own will.

Suddenly, the scenes from my previous life came to my mind.

At that time, she had been under house arrest by Chu Li and never got the chance to leave.

However, there were always palace maids bringing her various news from the outside world.

She knew clearly how Ruan Hong's crimes were dug out bit by bit by Chu Li, and knew clearly all the details of the three-court trial.

It is clear that Ruan Hong and Cui Yun will be beheaded and Ruan Ziyi will be exiled...

After their family was taken care of, Chu Li married Xu Moer, and he made her the queen as promised.

She thought, now that they had done what they needed to do, they should finally let her go, right?

However, she never got her freedom. Instead, she got Xu Moer with a suicide kit and an imperial decree ordering her death.

What Ruan Hong did was enough to implicate her.

Ruan Ziyi was exiled, but she was going to die.
