Wanjin Lady

Chapter 484 Leaving the Palace
“It’s not that there is no way out of this situation.”

Queen Wei looked up at her and asked, "Do you have a plan?"

Wen Wan shook her head, "I haven't thought about it yet, but this matter is of great importance, so I must inform the Marquis first."

Queen Wei also calmed down at this moment.

She stood up and opened the window, only to see circles of imperial guards surrounding her outside.

Empress Wei could not help but feel annoyed, "If I had known this would happen, I should have humbled myself in front of Your Majesty to protect myself."

But when she suddenly learned that the emperor was going to let Zhao Yingzhen go, she thought of her brother suffering torture and humiliation, and she was furious and had an argument with the emperor.

Now it is passive—

"I have been placed under house arrest. No one in Chonghua Palace is allowed to enter or leave. Even if you gain the upper hand, you cannot pass on any information."

"Your Majesty only confined the Empress..." Wen Wan said with a smile, a hint of mischief in her eyes, "But I am not from Chonghua Palace, and I have two children at home who need to be fed. Your Majesty can't disregard human ethics and forcibly detain me in Chonghua Palace, right?"

Queen Wei's eyes lit up.

Wen Wan stepped forward and bowed slightly. "Your Majesty, if you trust me, please let me out of the palace. I will find a solution after I reunite with the Marquis. If I can think of a solution, I will have someone release a red kite outside the palace wall. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Empress Wei stared at her and sighed, "Whether I trust you or not, I have no choice. Please don't let me down. If you can handle this matter well, you will benefit from it in the future."

Empress Wei immediately summoned Nanny He, "Mammy, pack up your things now and send this girl back to the Marquis' Mansion."

Nanny He responded and immediately went down to get busy.

In a short while, he had packed his bags.

The queen ordered the female officials around her to write an imperial edict.

Wen Wan took advantage of this gap to place the copied books such as "Female Precepts" on Queen Wei's desk.

Queen Wei just glanced at him, with a hint of sarcasm on her lips.

Wen Wan pondered Empress Wei's expression and felt a chill on her back, so she asked, "Empress, is there something wrong?"

"Nothing wrong with that."

Queen Wei tapped her fingers on the stack of papers.

She looked distant and looked Wen Wan up and down.

"You and Jin Yu are somewhat similar. When I punished him to copy books when he was little, he hired these people to do the writing for him. Even the handwriting of these mistakes is exactly the same. How come, after all these years, he still hired these same people to write for him?"

Wen Wan: ...

Scalp tingling!

She moved her lips, wanting to explain, but the other person's pupils were clear, as if he could see through all her excuses.

Wen Wan had no way of explaining herself, so she could only scratch her head and smile in a very flattering manner, "The little tricks of us younger generations cannot escape the piercing eyes of the Empress."

In just a moment, Queen Wei had already written the letter letting her leave the palace.

She placed the thin document in Wenwan's hand.

Wen Wan felt as if she was weighed down by a thousand pounds.

"My Lady, what if the Imperial Guards refuse to release us?"

Empress Wei summoned Nanny He and said, "Let Nanny He accompany you."

Wen Wan's bag was small, so she carefully put Queen Wei's handwritten letter in her pocket and followed Nanny He out of the gate of Chonghua Palace one after another.

Sure enough, there were several imperial guards guarding outside the palace gate.

Wen Wan had just taken half a step out of the palace gate when she was stopped by the imperial guards.

"Your Majesty has ordered that no one is allowed to enter or leave Chonghua Palace."

Nanny He was a veteran of the palace for many years. Although she was thin and petite, she was full of imposing presence, and her voice was like a bell. "Open your eyes and see clearly! Is this Miss Wen from Chonghua Palace? His Majesty only said to confine the Empress, but did not say to keep Miss Wen."

Wen Wan took advantage of the situation and shook the Queen's release document into the air.

"General, please read this carefully. This is the document the Empress gave me to leave the palace. I am not from Chonghua Palace, but she just happened to invite me here to keep me company a few days ago. The Empress is currently confined to her house. Could it be that she is also confined here? I have two children at home who are left unattended and need my company as a mother. Please, General, please give me some favors."

The leader glanced at the Empress's handwritten letter, then looked Wen Wan up and down. Wen Wan felt that this person's gaze held a deeper meaning.

really.

The man asked her, "Are you the wife of Huai'an Marquis Wei Zheng?"

Wen Wan and Nanny He's expressions changed slightly.

Could it be that he met Wei Zheng’s mortal enemy?
Wei Zheng has made many enemies in Kyoto over the years.

Especially those in the military were particularly dissatisfied with him.

Fortunately, the man only glanced at the document and then waved his hand. "In that case, please leave first, Madam Wen. Go back and tell the Marquis that he owes me a big favor."

Hey, they are not sworn enemies, but old lovers?
Wen Wan quickly put away the letter and saluted with a smile, "Thank you, General."

Walking out of the palace gate, Wen Wan suddenly discovered something important.

Amidst the chaos and war, the Empress did not even send a carriage to escort her back to the Marquis' Mansion!

Wen Wan stood alone in front of the palace gate, looking at the completely unfamiliar Kyoto, and for a moment she didn't know which direction to go.

She had no choice but to walk to the main street and shamelessly ask for the location of the Marquis's mansion.

However, Wen Wan didn't expect that Wei Zheng was quite famous among the people of Kyoto.

As soon as Wen Wan mentioned the Huai'an Marquis Mansion, the common people all showed an expression of understanding and gossip.

"The Marquis' Mansion, is that the Marquis who was deceived into becoming a live-in son-in-law?"

"No, it was the Marquis who was captured by a female monster in Ping County."

"No, no, it's the Marquis of Huai'an who married into the woman's family."

Wen Wan stood among a group of ordinary people, listening to their chatter, as the topics went further and further away.

To the end, he even ran to how Wei Zheng was captured by a female monster and took away to practice dual cultivation——

The rumor actually sounded very convincing.

She finally couldn't help it and ran out of the crowd shyly.

——There’s nothing I can do about it, I was born to be a trending topic.

It took Wen Wan half an hour to find her way back to the Marquis' Mansion.

When Wen Wan returned to the Marquis' Mansion, the first thing she did was to look for Wei Zheng.

She asked the maid Wei Zheng for her location and went straight to the flower hall in the backyard.

The courtyard of the Duke's Mansion was built in a unique style, with winding paths leading to secluded places. Wisteria flowers hung down from the racks, swaying in the wind and casting shadows on the ground.

—Knock. Knock. Knock.

Wen Wan could hear the sound of the bamboo stick hitting the bluestone slabs from a distance.

She was very familiar with this voice.

The elder lady and the cheap father make the same sound when they walk.

But now there is one more Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng was doing rehabilitation training under the doctor's guidance. He was supporting himself with two crutches under his armpits and stood up shakily. His forehead was covered in sweat and his clothes on his chest were also wet with sweat, sticking together.

Wen Wan hid behind the door and watched.

I heard Wei Zheng limping and then falling down.

He hit the ground hard.

moment.

He got up again.

Wenwan hesitated.

"My Lord!" Zhao Heng was very strong, so he naturally took on the responsibility of seeing that Zhao Heng could walk again. He picked up Wei Zheng and the crutch on the ground, "Rest for a while. The doctor said there's no rush! You have to recuperate slowly!"
