  Jinghong stared blankly at the sea of fire below him.

  This prison that had trapped him his whole life was nothing more than some wood and bricks, easily burned down.

  He suddenly spoke, "In fact, I once divined and asked the heavens who could help me break free from my predicament.

  The divination said it was someone from a distant place, you." Is there still such a thing? He looked at me in confusion, "Yun Wei, where are you really from? How could you have such courage...what happened in your era?" What happened? Just chaos.

  We, who sacrificed ourselves for our country, naturally didn't pursue wealth and power, didn't fear the authorities, and didn't believe in any saviors.

  A country devastated by war was still waiting for us to save it.

  But facing Jinghong, I only sneered, "Just poverty and destitution.

  You're only able to do evil because you have eaten your fill and have the time and energy to derive pleasure from innocent people." He seemed to sense my mockery, coughing and laughing, not knowing who he was laughing at, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.

  At this moment, Jiaojiao, panting heavily, climbed up with a lacquered sign tube in her arms.

  "Queen, I sent away all the people in the mansion and gave them plenty of money.

  They...won't come back anymore..." She saw Jinghong covered in blood and exclaimed in horror, "Father King? You..." Perhaps unable to bear it, Jinghong pretended to be Ah Zhe and waved to her, "Jiaojiao, don't be afraid.

  The Queen drove that person away.

  Come..." Jiaojiao hesitated, but still went forward and knelt down, biting her lip as she looked at him.

  "Jiaojiao, the mansion is gone, and Father King is dying.

  From now on, you are no longer a county princess, and you don't have to be the esteemed Princess Yushu.

  Just follow the Queen...cough cough...follow the Queen wherever you want." He pointed to the sign tube, "Come, draw a fortune, Father King will help you interpret it." Jiaojiao, confused, looked at the blood-stained Jinghong, choked up as she shook the sign tube for a long time before finally pulling out a stick.

  Jinghong picked up the stick and read, "Binggui, middle fortune.

  Devote yourself to your duties and guard your heart, and good fortune will come.

  Cease your endeavors for now and await good news in private with your loved one."

  Jiaojiao didn't understand: "Is it a good omen?" Jinghong smiled: "It's a good omen, but do good deeds and don't ask about the future, good luck will come eventually." He asked Jiaojiao to follow me.

  But he left me with a temptation.

  "Yunwei, do you want to go back?" I knew he was referring to going back to my own time.

  He had a way.

  But I just shook my head: "We're leaving, the world is vast, and every place is home." My time no longer belongs to me.

  Going up the An Palace and bypassing this mountain will allow us to completely leave the capital.

  I have already prepared money and transportation in advance, and with Jiaojiao, I'm embarking on an unknown journey.

  Just as we left the An Palace, I turned around and looked back.

  I saw Jinghong climb up to the highest observatory of the palace, laugh three times towards the sky, and scatter the one hundred slips of paper in the divination tube into the distance.

  Holding the only gift I gave him, he leaped into the sea of fire.

  He finally returned to that cage.

  He fulfilled his destiny.

  He became the last Prince An.

  Jiaojiao held my hand and asked in confusion, "Princess, where are we going?" I remembered Shanshan's aspirations and said, "We're going to see the outside world." Jiaojiao was a bit unsure and asked, "Do we have money?" I laughed for the first time, laughing at the innocence of the young girl.

  "Yes, your father's inheritance and my dowry, I have hidden some in advance, enough for us to spend a lifetime." Once we cross this mountain, we'll be able to see the horses and carriages parked at the foot of the mountain.

  I became the only time-traveling woman left in this era.

  However, this secret is known only to me.
