Suddenly, Han Wen collapsed to the ground.
The people around her wanted to help her up, but she waved them away.
Han Wen's voice was choked with emotion: " Huan, I know you hate me, but you can't say that..."
"My love for you, your feelings for me, they are all real..."
"I married Jiang Zhizhu just to play a role with her; after all, there are spies from King Shu in the palace..."
" Huan, the one I've always wanted to marry is you!"
" Huan, I really love you..."
" Huan, please believe me..."
I interrupted Han Wen's words.
"Enough!"
"Han Wen, you don't need to say any more."
"I don't want to hear it anymore."
"Han Wen, your love is too dirty; I find it disgusting."
"So, I don't want it."
I stood up and lifted the curtain of the carriage.
I faced Han Wen directly.
Looking at her disheveled appearance, my heart felt no stir.
I picked up the riding whip and looked at Han Wen, saying calmly: "Han Wen, let me go, okay?"
With red-rimmed eyes, Han Wen choked out: " Huan, is there really no possibility for us?"
I shook my head and replied coolly: "Han Wen, it's impossible for us."
Han Wen reached out her hands as if trying to hold onto me.
Seeing her blood-stained hands, I frowned and said flatly: "Han Wen, you're really dirty."
Han Wen's hands froze in place.
I no longer looked back at Han Wen, but instead urged my horse onward.
"Go!"
Years later, I happened to hear a story about Han Wen during the reign of the new emperor.
It is said that the Empress, in pursuit of her beloved, disregarded her still-healing wounds and chased tirelessly for seven days and nights, finally catching up to him at the Border Defense.
It is said that when he heard the Empress's voice, he did not even get out of his carriage but simply said, "Han Wen, let me go, okay?"
It is said that upon hearing his words, the Empress stood frozen in place, unable to respond for a long time. When he saw that she did not reply, he drove away on his own. As he left, the Empress hurried forward, wanting to keep him from going.
It is said that his heart was as hard as steel, and he did not look back.
The Empress watched his retreating figure, repeatedly asking him if there was truly no possibility for them. He did not answer her questions but firmly told her that they were impossible.
Upon hearing his response, the Empress cried bitterly.
Seeing her in tears, he felt no pity in his heart; he merely urged his horse onward without looking back.
The Empress stood there until his figure disappeared from sight before stumbling back to the palace.
It is said that after that day, the Empress fell gravely ill.
When she was seriously ill, she kept calling out his name.
It is said that his name was Jiang Huan.
The truth of this rumor remains unknown.
However, at the moment I passed through the border checkpoint, I indeed felt a sense of liberation within me.
That feeling was like a bird that had been caged for many years finally getting a chance to fly free.
The sky was high and blue, as if bidding me farewell.
I looked up at the sky and smiled.
I was finally free.
Biqiong and I drove our carriage away from the Border Defense, crossed the moat, and arrived in the neighboring country.
I had Biqiong stop the carriage by a tranquil lakeside.
The scenery here was beautiful; with blue skies and clear waters, it was refreshing to behold.
I took a bamboo tube from the carriage, then opened it and released what was inside. It was a Gu Worm.
Logically, this Gu Worm should have remained in my body, freeing me from all my worries. However, it seemed to dislike me very much, so it stayed in the bamboo tube.
I smiled and extended my finger, allowing the Gu Worm to crawl down it. "Go on, find your new host."
As I watched the Gu Worm move away, a strange feeling suddenly arose in my heart. I remembered how terrified I was when Han Wen had the shaman place the worm on me. After all, I had heard many legends about Gu Worms.
But now, facing this Gu Worm again, I felt no fear at all. Perhaps this is part of growing up. After all, I have faced challenges far more terrifying than a Gu Worm. From now on, the sky is high and the sea is vast; my freedom awaits.
