I want to run. I want to go back to Yueze.

I've been away from the Imperial City for almost a month now, and after so many days, I finally have a taste of love.

In the past at the Palace, I had often helped Liuxia organize the marriage books between a man and a woman, and because of my curiosity and greed, I had once tried to draw the red thread between a man and a woman; however, at that time, I was still in love, so I didn't know anything about relationships. Even if I had seen with my own eyes people suffering because they couldn't love each other, or because they didn't know each other but couldn't confess, or because they couldn't be together or even died in love … I do not quite understand these feelings, whether they are love, sadness, patience, or passion. Now, when I began to really like a person and was separated from him for a short time, I finally understood the taste of love.

It was torture, it was torture, it was a pain that could not be forgiven; lovesickness was burning, lovesickness was burning to ashes, I wanted desperately to go back to the Imperial City, I wanted desperately to see Yueze; I missed his voice and smile, his willfulness and domineering manner, and even more so the tenderness with which he dotingly called me "lovely."

But I'm in the enemy camp and I can't go back.

Liujiang City had been breached, although the Southern Yu Army had fought a bloody battle with the Cang Wu Army, but in the end, they had lost almost half of their troops, and all of them had retreated to the Jialin-Pass to defend. The Cang army controlled Liujiang City and comforted the citizens of the city, but as the northern army continued to gather in the south, it seemed that Yan Hua really wanted to fight until he reached the capital of the Southern Yu Country.

"To defeat Nan Yu, to take over Xi Ling, to unite the world, to end the current situation of the three kingdoms, this is the wish of all the emperors of our Cang Kingdom, and is also the wish of my life."

Yan Hua's eyebrows were filled with pride as he spoke to me from the mighty Flowing River. Of course, there was also a trace of guilt in his eyes as he said, "Lian'er, I'm sorry. Your country and I are fated to become enemies. "But don't worry, if I attack the capital city, I will definitely ensure the safety of your Bai Clan and ensure the future status of your family."

When I heard this, I could only bitterly smile. Do you think the Bai Clan can continue to prosper even after our country is destroyed? Do you think they would be so brazen as to accept the gift of another emperor? The reason why the White Clan was called the 'God Clan' was because they were designated by the Celestial Fox Immortal as the people who specialized in protecting the Yue Clan! The mission of our clan is to protect Nan Yu and the Yue clan! If the Yue clan is defeated, then the Bai clan cannot survive alone. I believe that no one would care about your so-called safety and status. "

As Yan Hua heard this, his eyes turned cloudy. He looked at me sadly.

I knew he was going to talk again about the days when he and Bai Lian had drifted together on the sea, the happy, happy days they had spent together. He really did love Bai Lian, right? It could be seen from his eyes. However, in the end, I wasn't completely useless and was unable to respond to his feelings. Thus, I had no choice but to make my words clear, telling him to give up earlier.

However, Yan Hua was an unyielding person. When he realized that I had "lost my memory" and that I no longer felt any attachment to him, he did not take it lightly. Instead, he placed me in the best room in Liujiang City and had the imperial physician check my pulse all day long. He was counting on those painful Chinese medicines, those terrifying acupuncture techniques, to cure the 'amnesia' in my head, but what he couldn't imagine was that I wasn't his beloved Bai Lian at all, and no matter how hard he tried, I couldn't remember the happy days they spent together.

It was impossible for me to accept him, much less return to his old, intimate relationship.

Therefore, I have to escape. I want to see Yueze, and I want to leave Yan Hua even more … I couldn't stand his sad, helpless look, the pain and sadness of a lover's change of heart, which only increased the guilt I felt toward him.

That night, the imperial physician made routine inquiries. When he wasn't paying attention, I knocked him down with a punch, then changed his clothes and disguised him as the imperial physician to escape. When I reached the main gate of Liujiang Prefecture that led to the front yard, I was stopped by a guard at the gate.

"Sir Shangguan, the emperor has an order …" All the people within the Inner Court of the Liujiang Residence must show their identity tokens when they pass through this door, so I will have to trouble you to show your identity tokens! "

I touched my pocket and thought, "Oh no …" I forgot there was a badge! And this imperial physician didn't have anything like that in his clothes!

I hastily replied, "I accidentally dragged them into the inner courtyard. I'll go and get them now."

I hurried back while the Imperial Physician was still lying in my bed. I searched every pocket on his body, not missing even his closest clothes, but still couldn't find his legendary identity card. Later on, I remembered that when Yan Hua came to see me in the morning, he seemed to have a jade-like sign hanging on his body.

If he wanted to leave this cage, did he have to find Yan Hua? This was too much of a risk!

I was at my wit's end. I walked around the room, then wandered around the outside of the house. Unfortunately, there were heavy soldiers guarding the inside and outside of the courtyard. The entire Liujiang Prefecture was surrounded like an iron wall, making it impossible for me to rush out.

As time passed, I was getting very anxious … If I don't run now, the imperial physician will wake up. I can't really kill an innocent person like him to silence him! At this time, Yan Hua should be in the front yard, but his residence is in the back yard.

With that in mind, I picked up the Imperial Physician's medical kit and disguised myself as one. When he arrived at Yan Hua's room, it was dark and there was no light. I secretly rejoice... As expected, Yan Hua wasn't here! Great! I have to take advantage of this opportunity to make my move!

I flipped through the window and landed lightly on the edge of the bed. The room was luxurious, with a large bed. It was late in the day, and moonlight was coming through the window. I could just make out some paperwork on the table. I ran to the table and rummaged through it. After a while, my hard work paid off. I actually found a identity token! This badge, is it specifically used to pass through? I picked up the jade and looked at the moonlight.

It is indeed the pass token, no mistake, I saw Yan Hua use it this morning. The military was on high alert. Even the main marshal would show his identity card to prevent any enemies from impersonating him. As the marshal, Yan Hua had thoroughly carried this out.

Overjoyed, I thought I saw Yueze standing on the Imperial City and waving to me. I quickly put my badge in my pocket. Just as he was about to jump out of the window again, a cold voice sounded in the dark night. "Sir Shangguan, you came late at night. What urgent matter do you have?"

I was stunned and turned around. Yan Hua was standing in the room!

Yan Hua did not go to the front yard tonight to discuss business. He was resting in his room.

He noticed me sneaking in, but he didn't say anything. At this moment, he noticed that the "imperial physician" that came in uninvited had something fishy going on, so he immediately tried to subdue me!

I fought him, and in a few moments I was defeated by his sword, and he recognized me.

"Lian'er, so it's you. What are you doing with my badge? "

Slightly depressed, I put my identity card back in place. "If I told you that I thought this jade is good enough to play around with, would you believe me?"

Yan Hua decisively shook his head. "I don't believe it."

Then he frowned at me. "You want to run!"

I shrugged and looked at him nonchalantly. Isn't this nonsense!

Yan Hua put his sword back into its scabbard and approached me. Immediately, a thick smell of alcohol rushed over.
