The Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir

Chapter 203: Oh so high Wangyue Building

Zhao Li had remained sitting in Zichen Hall. He summoned the eunuch inside and asked, "What happened outside?"

Trembling with fear, the eunuch knelt down and said, "The general came here without notice. Kangyuan Junzhu had already left with him."

Zhao Li swept the wine cup off the table and very angrily asked, "Why did no one come here to report that he had entered the palace?

"The general seemed to have only come to the palace to pick up Kangyuan Junzhu and hadn't requested an audience with Your Majesty." The eunuch's legs were wobbling in fear.

Zhao Li felt a headache. Rubbing his temples, he said, "Kangyuan Junzhu drank too much and was just joking around. If anyone dares to tell the empress this matter, they'll have their heads chopped off!"

The eunuch made a sound of assent and was trembling as he withdrew.

Kangyuan chased after Ning Mingjie, but men could walk faster than women. It didn't take long for Wen Wan and Kangyuan to fall behind.

"Who brought the general over?" Kangyuan's gaze was like an arrow that wanted to pierce through Wen Wan.

With an innocent expression, Wen Wan lowered her head and quietly said, "Wan-er was only following the marquis's order..."

"The marquis's order?" Kangyuan Junzhu stopped walking. Her eyebrows were twisted as she pulled Wen Wan to a deserted spot by the palace wall. "What kind of joke is that? He gave you an order, so you brought the general there and put me into that predicament? Wen Wan, don't forget, that man had locked you up. If it wasn't for me, you would still be trapped there!".

Wen Wan pursed her lips. With a lowered her head, she said, "Wan-er didn't do it deliberately. Most likely, the marquis had deliberately planned to expose the junzhu's..."

Kangyuan Junzhu was her benefactor. Once the first princess consort had found out that she had been put into confinement, there was no more news from her. She had probably given up on her. In contrast, it was Kangyuan Junzhu that gave her the idea of pretending to have amnesia. Marquis Moyu had locked her up because he wanted to cover up Nie Sangyu's new identity. So, as long as she did a good job with pretending to lose her memories and figuring out a way to get Liu Hanyun to help her, she would be able to turn around her fortune.

In order to not make a mistake, Wen Wan practiced in front of a mirror for a month. She didn't want to be alone for a lifetime. Ning Yuxuan had turned his back on her, and Nie Sangyu had cheated her and taken unfair advantage of her. She had to find an opportunity and pay them back for every wrong done to her. No matter how much resentment and pain she felt, she would repress all of it. No one could see any flaws in her eyes that would expose her. People really did need to be pushed to a dire state before their strength could burst forth.

Nie Sangyu's new identity was her last trump card, so she hadn't told anyone. She was waiting for a suitable opportunity, so that Nie Sangyu would die a miserable death. Ending her confinement in Qiangwei Courtyard was only her first step.

However, she hadn't expected that Ning Yuxuan would take her to the palace right after letting her out and cause Kangyuan Junzhu to misunderstand her like this.

Wen Wan gritted her teeth and did her best to explain, "Junzhu, Wan-er definitely didn't have any intention of harming you."

Kangyuan Junzhu was still in the heat of the moment. While tidying her clothes and hair accessories, she said in a weepy tone, "What should I do? The general definitely won't forgive me."
