You confiscated my property, I exiled you, why are you crying when the treasury is empty?

Without waiting for Zhan Beiwang to speak, Sang Yi said, "I became ill from worrying about you. Now that I know you are safe, I am relieved. This illness will heal naturally without treatment."

They chatted for a while, and the sky darkened unknowingly.

The servant came to announce that the meal was ready.

After everyone sat down, Zhan Beiwang picked up some food for Su Wanning while eating.

"You've been married for such a long time and have settled down now. It's better to have a child as soon as possible."

Su Wanning paused before realizing that he was talking to her, and she just laughed it off.

Zhan Beiwang, who was standing by, reacted and was choked, "We are not in a hurry."

"You can't learn from your uncle. He didn't want children when he was in good health, but now that his health is not good, he wants children. Otherwise, why would he have children now?" Sang Yi rolled his eyes at Song Lan.

Song Lan's face was filled with embarrassment. How could this be brought up on him? Wasn't it because his previous job was unstable? "Hurry up and eat. If you don't eat now, it will get cold."

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it into Zhang Hui's bowl.

Zhang Hui saw that the fish's face turned pale, and Sang Yi quickly picked up the piece of fish and put it into his mouth.

"Huihui can't bear to smell these fishy smells right now. Can't you, as a husband, be more attentive?"

After hearing this, Song Lan picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into Zhang Hui's bowl. "I'm busy with errands every day."

Su Wanning looked at the dishes on the table and found that most of them were light, and even if there were two meat dishes, they were placed in front of them.

After they finished their meal, they prepared to leave.

Sang Yi tried to persuade him, "There are so many rooms in the house, aren't they enough for you? Why are you still living outside?"

Zhan Beiwang explained, "We originally came back from Lingnan, so naturally we have to avoid some people.

We came here because there were few people around. If people knew we were back in Beijing, we'd probably get into a lot of trouble, so we'd better be cautious."

After hearing this, several people did not try to persuade him to stay.

Su Wanning and the others quickly returned to the inn, and the first thing they did was to take out a few dishes from the space and put them on the table.

The dishes on the table were vegetarian and very light, so she only ate a few bites of the rice.

Zhan Beiwang also reached out to ask for a bowl of rice for Su Wanning, "I'm not full either."

Su Wanning handed him the rice in her hand and said, "There's only this bowl of rice left. You eat it, and I'll have the buns."

Zhan Beiwang took the bowl and they both started eating until they were both burping with full stomachs.

A bright light appeared outside the window. Su Wanning looked out. No wonder everyone wanted to come to Kyoto. Looking out, red lanterns were hung on almost every street in the city.

It was as bright as day outside.

Zhan Beiwang stretched out his hand towards Su Wanning and said, "You haven't been to Kyoto yet, I'll take you there."

Su Wanning nodded. She was exiled just two days after arriving here.

Even if there is time, I am only busy collecting various things from the space and have no time to stop and take a good look at the scenery.

Several people left the inn together.

This time, Su Wanning did not go on a shopping spree like before. After all, this was in the capital, and any little movement would attract attention.

The capital city is much more lively at night than during the day, and there are more than twice as many vendors as during the day.

The few of them were just strolling around, and by the time they finished walking down a street, the food in their stomachs was almost gone.

She didn't expect to tour the entire capital in one day, so she went back directly.

The next day, Zhan Beiwang left the inn to investigate other matters.

Su Wanning and Yue Shu walked together along every street in the capital.

But before I knew it, I had arrived at the location of the former Prince Zhan's Palace.

The sign above has been replaced long ago.

Su Wanning stopped and looked at the sign above, "Jiang Mansion"

"Miss, do you have any questions?" Yue Shu saw Su Wanning stop and looked in the direction Su Wanning was looking.

"Is this the former Prince Zhan's Palace?" Su Wanning asked.

"Yes." Yue Shu said.

"It's okay, let's go." Su Wanning turned around and walked forward.

Yue Shu took a look at the original mansion and followed Su Wanning.

When it was lunchtime, everyone went to the teahouse to eat and listen to other people's gossip to see if there was anything important.

"Widow Wang was not at home again yesterday, did you know?"

"Doesn't she often leave a child of a few years old at home at night to go to work?"

"What kind of work? When I woke up in the middle of the night, I saw her leaving the house next door in disheveled clothes."

.........

"The palace has started letting those noble ladies from aristocratic families into the palace again, saying that they are going to be used as palace maids."

"What do you mean by being a palace maid? It's probably for that person."

"Now the noble families are full of complaints, but no one dares to resist."

"Ah, who says it isn't true? Many aristocratic families, in order to prevent their pampered daughters from entering the palace, have been moving up their wedding dates.

Some even go so far as to specifically look for a son-in-law from a nearby village, wait until the incident is over, and then divorce and choose a new partner for the engagement."

.........

Su Wanning heard from Yue Shu yesterday that when the late emperor passed away, the Sixth Prince and the Third Prince were fighting fiercely.

That was the last time the third prince saw the late emperor, and later the late emperor's will also stated that the third prince would ascend the throne.

As to whether the will was obtained by some means, no one knows.

But at that time, the third prince could not wait for the mourning period of the late emperor to be over, and had already begun preparing for the coronation ceremony.

When he ascended the throne, the sixth prince led his men in a rebellion and captured the third prince on the spot.

In order to make everyone in the world believe that he rebelled because he was dissatisfied with the third prince's disregard for the late emperor's mourning period.

He suspended state affairs and personally kept vigil for the late emperor.

When this matter spread, the people in the capital all praised the new emperor for his filial piety.

It’s just that it seems that the new emperor has changed since he ascended the throne. Or maybe it’s not that he has changed, but this is his original self.

Su Wanning also did not expect that the new emperor would allow noble ladies from aristocratic families in the capital to enter the palace on a large scale. Isn’t he afraid that they will unite and rebel?

Or did he allow his daughters to enter the palace just to control those aristocratic families?

As I was thinking this, I heard another voice coming from the side.

"How come if that person did that, there are still women who dare to go out casually?"

"Judging from their appearance, they should be unmarried. If the authorities find out, they will definitely be taken away."

Then Su Wanning heard the sound of the table rubbing against each other.

Someone knocked on their table, and Su Wanning looked up at the person who came.

"Girls, you must be from out of town, right? If you're alright, you'd better go back quickly, otherwise... it's over. Girls, go to the back door quickly and leave through the back door."

Su Wanning only saw a team of patrolling soldiers stopped at the door. Before she could react, she was pulled up by the people next to her and pushed to the backyard.

"There's a door in the corner. Go home quickly after you go out. Don't come out again unless necessary."
