She refused to marry.

Su Wanwan hurriedly turned around and fell to the ground.

Xiao Xuanjing entered the room, slowly walked to her side, and picked her up. "What's wrong?"

"I need to use the restroom..." Su Wanwan said guiltily.

I am so surprised.

"The Su family's sedan chair has arrived. I will escort you out." Xiao Xuanjing carried her out of the East Garden.

Su Wanwan leaned against him and responded softly.

But in his heart, he was thinking about how to get the key next time.

To avoid attracting attention, Xiao Xuanjing carried her out the back door, where the Su family carriage was already waiting.

Su Wanwan was taken back to the Su family mansion, where the entire family gathered around her room, all talking at once, expressing their concern for her.

She was already exhausted, but now she still had to comfort everyone.

After her parents finally left with the whole family, Zhao Yu lingered in the courtyard.

She asked Chunhua to call Zhao Yu in.

Zhao Yu stood at the door with his head down, and said in a low voice with his hands clasped, "There is news about the young master."

Su Wanwan jumped out of bed in surprise, staggering forward as she asked, "Where?"

Chunhua quickly helped the young lady up and walked to Zhao Yu.

"Under the dungeon beneath the Broken Cloud Terrace in the Princess's residence," Zhao Yu whispered.

"I've seen the key, but how can I get the prince out of here?" Su Wanwan leaned against the door.

"There are people waiting inside the manor. If Second Sister gets the key, go to the third pine tree next to the Broken Cloud Terrace. There are people there to meet you!" After Zhao Yu finished speaking, she cupped her hands and walked out of the Brocade Hall.

Su Wanwan stood at the door, unable to come to her senses for a long time.

The Crown Prince was indeed imprisoned in the East Garden.

Two days later, Su Wanwan came to the East Garden at Shenshi (3-5 PM) to change her dressing.

For some reason, Feng Chenjun's face turned noticeably paler.

Only after asking did I learn that the Crown Prince had come.

Jian Qingshan sat at the doorway and said, "Every time the Crown Prince comes, His Majesty's old ailment flares up again."

"Why is no one serving us?" Su Wanwan asked, standing at the door.

Jian Qingshan sighed helplessly, "His Majesty has never liked being served by others. After he was detained last time, Miss Su has been serving him in this courtyard."

Su Wanwan threw away her cane and sat down at the head of Feng Chenjun's bed.

"Your Majesty..."

Feng Chenjun's eyelashes fluttered.

Looking at the herbal soup beside her, Su Wanwan had an idea. "The soup's gone cold, I'll heat it up..."

He took the herbal medicine to the tea room to heat it up, then took out the prepared sleeping potion.

After stirring, she walked to Feng Chenjun's bedside. "Your Majesty, it's time to take your medicine..."

Feng Chenjun opened his eyes. "Have you tried it?"

Su Wanwan lowered her eyes, frowning as she stared at the bowl of herbal soup. "What are you tasting?"

"I only serve the medicine after tasting it to make sure it's not poisonous." Xiao Xuanjing sat up and leaned against the bedside.

Su Wanwan's face fell. She pinched her nose and took a few sips. "Your Majesty, it's not poisonous... it just tastes a bit awful..."

Xiao Xuanjing took it and drank it down sip by sip.

Su Wanwan elegantly finished drinking her medicine. Feng Chenjun was secretly pleased and his gaze fell on the key at his waist.

The key is still there. We just need to wait a little longer until it gets dark, then we can start.

She had also drunk quite a bit of the sleeping potion earlier.

I don't know if I can hold on until then.

As night fell, Feng Chenjun fell into a deep sleep.

Jian Qingshan walked in from outside. "Miss Su, I'm going to Fengyi Palace to report to the Emperor. If he wakes up during the night, please look after him."

Su Wanwan nodded.

It was simply a stroke of good luck.

After Jian Qingshan left for a short while, Su Wanwan listened to Feng Chenjun's heavy breathing, tiptoed to his side, and took the key.

Su Wanwan gripped the keys tightly, her palms sweaty, her heart pounding as if it would jump out of her throat.

She waited a moment, making sure Xiao Xuanjing's breathing was still steady, before tiptoeing away from the bedside, reaching the door, and gently opening it.

A cool night breeze blew in, and she shivered.

He limped toward the Broken Cloud Platform.

After finally reaching the third tree beside the steps, I asked, "Is anyone there?"

A figure suddenly appeared behind her.

"Miss Su?"

"Xie Yunzhou?" Su Wanwan asked, still bathed in the cold, pale moonlight.

"It is I." Xie Yunzhou stepped forward, his eyes deep and serious. "Did you get the key?"

"Okay, here you go." Su Wanwan tossed him the keys.

The bamboo shadows on both sides rustled in the wind.

Her heart was pounding.

What should she do if the emperor finds out?

They'll definitely take their anger out on the Su family, won't they?

She stood there waiting, when suddenly her waist tightened.

"who!"

Turning around, I saw Ying Zheng, whom I hadn't seen in a long time.

He has lost weight.

His eyes were sunken, but thankfully he was unharmed.

"Wanwan..."

"This is not the place to talk, let's go!!" Su Wanwan whispered and limped a few steps.

Ying Zheng had changed into a servant's clothes at some point and was carrying Su Wanwan as he swaggered out the back door.

Two horses were already prepared at the entrance. Ying Zheng helped her onto the horse, and the three of them galloped away along the night street.

A gust of wind blew into Su Wanwan's collar, making her shrink her neck in the cold.

Ying Zheng's chest was warm, and seeing that she was cold, he hugged her tighter.

The three headed straight for the dock, where boats were already waiting.

Yuan Zijin stood at the bow of the boat. Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, she became alert. When she saw who it was, she quickly got off the boat, pulled the rope, and the boat immediately docked.

"Your Highness!"

Ying Zheng made Su Wanwan dismount, intending to take her with him.

Su Wanwan pulled her hand away from Ying Zheng's and staggered back a step.

Her ankle was still hurting, but she gritted her teeth and stood firm.

"Your Highness, I can't leave. My family is all in the capital. If I leave, Lord Fengchen will definitely not let them go! I can't leave!"

"I'll send someone to pick them up now! You have to come with me!" Ying Zheng reached out and grabbed her.

Su Wanwan stepped back and pushed Ying Zheng forward, "If this drags on any longer, none of you will be able to leave."

Ying Zheng turned around, intending to forcibly take Su Wanwan away, but Xie Yunzhou stopped him, saying, "Young Master, let's go. If we don't leave now, it will be too late."

"No!" Ying Zheng grabbed Su Wanwan's hand. "Lord Fengchen will not let Wanwan go!"

Su Wanwan broke free. "Don't worry, I will live and wait for your return!"

Su Wanwan stepped back, "If you forcibly take me away today, Lord Fengchen will surely take his anger out on the Su family."

If anything happens to the Su family, my life has no meaning. I will also take my anger out on you!

"The eldest princess has lost power, and very few court officials are willing to risk their lives for her. I will be fine!"

Ying Zheng held her in his arms, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes.

"Ying Zheng, there's something I want to ask you!" Su Wanwan didn't dare to reach out and hug him.

"Tell me!" Ying Zheng said reluctantly.

"Although it was Feng Chenjun who imprisoned you, if one day you meet Feng Chenjun on the battlefield, could you spare his life..." Su Wanwan's voice was not loud, but it was enough to reach the shadows around the corner.

Ying Zheng stiffened and asked in a low voice, "Does Wanwan truly care about Feng Chen Jun?"

Su Wanwan did not deny it, "What I care about is the Su family."

"Okay, I promise you." Ying Zheng opened his arms, cupped her face, and kissed her forehead.

Xie Yunzhou untied the mooring rope, and the boat left the shore.

"Your Highness...it's time to go..."

"Be careful on your way!" Su Wanwan nudged Ying Zheng.

"Wanwan, wait for me to come back..." Ying Zheng was reluctant to leave. If he didn't leave now, the Crown Prince's men would find out and he would never be able to leave again.

The boat slowly sailed into the depths of the night, and finally disappeared completely from the water.

Su Wanwan was still a little dazed as she led the horse back.

I don't know what the situation is like in Dongyuan now, I don't know if Xiao Xuanjing has woken up, and I don't know if Jian Qingshan has noticed that the key is missing.

Her mind was a complete mess; what excuse could she use this time?

Our current situation is like walking a tightrope over a cliff.

We can't exactly say it's to find a way out for the emperor.

As I turned the corner, a long shadow fell.

When Su Wanwan looked up and saw the person who had arrived, her heart tightened and her pupils dilated instantly.

The effects of the sleeping potion also disappeared due to fright.
