Chapter 260 - 258. I Am Sorry III (1/2)

Third-person POV

”I-I am sorry…” Meiyun sobbed after she watched Di Shang's figure left the room.

She felt like she was the worst person ever to be alive in this world. She kept questioning herself again and again.

”Why do I have to lie to him?”

”Why did I choose to hide everything from him?”

”He trusted me so much but I did everything to make him upset.”

”What is the purpose of being happy if it is fake?”

Her palm swung across her own cheek causing her cheek and palm to turn red, ”I am an idiot…useless…worthless...”

She cursed at herself with every degrading word that she knew. At this moment, the only thing that she wanted to do was to run to Di Shang's side with everything she had and apologize to him. Addressing every misunderstanding they were having, tell him all of her stories whether it is happy, sad, upsetting or even depressing.

Whatever Di Shang thought about her after listening to her story was a whole different story. If things truly didn't work out between them, then she would oblige to any kind of Di Shang's demand. Nevertheless, she hoped that everything would go finely and smoothly.

Meiyun glanced at the door that Di Shang walked out from and saw two silhouettes standing at the other side of the entrance. The whole courtyard was closely guarded by guards and servants therefore if Meiyun needs anything, they could take immediate action without wasting any time.

She knew that if she uses that door to go out to find Di Shang, they definitely would not allow her to go out. However, the urge to see her beloved husband could not be held anymore. She would do anything to get out of the room and find Di Shang herself, not even her wound could hinder her from looking for him.

Because of her habit, she folded the blanket to the bottom of the bed and tidy up the wrinkles on the sheet. Although her wound in her chest ached, she could care-less about the pain as long as she could see him as soon as possible. Then she slowly opened the window that located beside their bed and looked around outside of the window before soundlessly climbed out of the window.

Meiyun hissed the moment her bare foot touched the cold hard ground. She turned around to close the window back and proceeded with her escape plan. She could easily avoid the eyes of the guards with her skill but slowed down her speed because of her wounds, therefore she had to be more careful.

She cautiously mended her way to the exit of the courtyard. She sprinted to the corner of the wall that had a man-made pond and it had bushes and a tree around the pond which made it a great place to hide.

She hid behind the bushes and peeked through the spaces between the leaves. She clicked her tongue when she saw two guards were patrolling around the entrance, leaving her no chance but had to use her Qi to leap over the wall.

She pondered for a while whether she could jump over the wall without re-opening the wounds in her heart. She patted her chest a few times and said to herself that she would be fine. She focused her Qi on her feet and gritted her teeth as her heart pounded faster than usual which caused her heart to ache.

However, just as she was about to bound over the wall, she heard two familiar voices conversing at the other side of the wall. Her whole body froze when she recognized the owner of the voice.

'Shang Tang? Ah Ren?' She halted and decided to stay and listen to what they were talking about.

”...Please don't tell Senior Meiyun that Master came here or anything about us taking her punishment in her place. Or else she would blame herself to the point she would travel all the way to Xi An to take her punishment….

With just the news of Her Majesty Empress's disappearance, she would fall into depression and definitely would blame herself for not making it in time to save Her Majesty Empress…” Ah Ren's voice resounded in Meiyun's ears.

Her ears instantly rang and her surroundings went blurry as if she couldn't feel or hear anything around her. Her lips were as pale as snow and her whole body was trembling uncontrollably. To make it worse, she was sitting on the cold hard ground beside the pond that also exuded a cold air from the surface of the water.
