suddenly,she got an idea. the day was still dark. she just had to sneak to the pond and het water. though the place was a bit far she had stayed in the palace long enough to move about in the dark. she slowly walked backwards and when she thought no one was aware of her leave she began to run with that little pail and headed for the direction of the pond.however on getting there she saw it was fenced.
"fine i just have to climb and get water."
so she did her hearts desire and finally she was at the pond.
"everywhere's still dark.if i quickly have a bath it wont make a big deal.it's a pity i dint bring another set of clothes."
she began to undress until it was the final layer
"thankfully i hid a bit of soap now its useful."
she then felt little water from the pond and squatted
"time for a cool and nice bath"
******************************
youyue had just finished bathing when she saw torches on the other side of the pond.
her face became pale.
"what do i do?she quickly wore her outer robe and belt and then picked up the other clothes and was about to dash when she heard voices
"intruder!stand there!. one move and we will shoot."
youyue did not pay heed and scaled the fence.the guards had sounded a horn.
"i am done for"youyue muttered.she wanted to cry but had no tears. there was no where to run. guards were pouring out of every corner.
she then remembered all her colleague told her about the crown prince
"why am i so stupid. this is the place where mo feng keeps is koi fishes. and i even bathed in it. i pray i have an intact corpse. i'll still die anyway. she then scaled the fence again and jumped into the pond.
"it better to commit suicide than to die in the hands of crown prince. i'm not sure i'll really have an intact corpse or a burial place.it seems i can never be free from the palace. i pray crown prince takes pity on me"
youyue dint know how to swim and she was slowly sinking down into what she once thought was a shallow pond. she began to slowly swallow water. then she lost consciousness
