After half an hour, the carriage slowly stopped outside the gate of Prince Qin's Mansion.

"Miss San, it's here."

When the driver's voice came, Shen Wanwan lifted the door curtain and walked out of the carriage.

She raised her eyes and looked towards the gate of the Prince of Qin's Mansion. The vermilion gate was tall and majestic, and the golden door nails showed its grandeur and majesty.

The big red lanterns hanging on both sides of the gate swayed in the wind, and the red tassels fluttered freely, as if telling passers-by that this day is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The stone lions in front of the gate stand on the left and right, with their fangs and claws bared, looking fierce and lifelike, as if they are diligently guarding the dignity and glory of the palace.

Shen Wanwan withdrew her gaze, lifted her skirt slightly, and stepped down from the carriage on a stepping stool, her lotus steps light and graceful.

She was wearing a moon-white brocade dress, the hem of which was as light as flowing clouds. The pearls and jade in her hair swayed gently with her movements, shimmering with soft light.

This was her first time visiting the Prince Qin's Mansion. She didn't have time to tell him that she would come today, she just wanted to give him a surprise.

She was a little angry when he left without saying goodbye that day, but today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and the ice ghost in him will definitely break out tonight.

She didn't want him to suffer too much pain when the poison took effect, so she came to find him before he went to find her.

For some reason, she actually felt a rare sense of nervousness and anticipation at this moment.

Shen Wanwan stood firmly on the ground and looked forward again. The three large gold-plated characters "Qin Wang Mansion" on the plaque above the gate were very dazzling.

Shen Wanwan took a deep breath before signaling Chuntao to knock on the door.

"Squeak!"

"Girl, who are you looking for?"

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man in a navy blue robe. He didn't look like an ordinary doorman, but more like a butler.

"I am a maidservant of the Third Young Miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion. My young lady came here today and wants to see the Prince of Qin. I wonder if the Prince is at the mansion right now?"

As Chun Tao spoke, she slightly turned her body so that the other person could see Shen Wanwan standing at the bottom of the stone steps.

The middle-aged man glanced in Shen Wanwan's direction, then clasped his fists and said, "I'm truly sorry, but the prince is not at home right now. If you want to see him, please come back another day when he's at home."

After he finished speaking, he was about to close the door again.

Chun Tao quickly asked, "When will the prince be back?"

She felt that since her young lady had come to see the King of Qin in person, she must have something very important to tell him. If the King of Qin was about to return, it would be okay for them to wait in the palace.

But the person who opened the door obviously had no intention of inviting them into the house.

"Miss, please don't embarrass me. As servants, we should just do our job conscientiously. How can we know the whereabouts of our master?"

Chuntao wanted to say something else, but Shen Wanwan suddenly said, "Chuntao, forget it. Let's go."

After Shen Wanwan finished speaking, she turned around and got back on the carriage. Seeing her mistress speak, Chuntao had no choice but to walk towards the carriage reluctantly, but turned back and snorted at the closed door.

What a dog's eye looking down on people!

She has seen many people like this. How can they do their job well? How can they really do their job well? Why would they close the door in a hurry without even finishing their words?

Fortunately, the King of Qin does not like his own daughter as much as the rumors outside say, otherwise if the daughter really married into the King of Qin's Mansion, she would have to deal with these people every day, wouldn't she be upset to death?

After the master and servant got on the carriage, they both sat quietly, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was a little depressing for a while.

Chun Tao secretly glanced at Shen Wanwan, and finally couldn't hold it in any longer, "Miss, he is actually the prince, it is understandable that he doesn't want to see us..."

Shen Wanwan was slightly startled when she heard this. "Do you think he's deliberately avoiding me?"

Chun Tao nodded repeatedly. "That must be the case. Look at what that person said just now. He said he would come back when the prince is at home. We are not the worms in the Qin Wang's stomach. How can we know when he will be at home? Isn't it obvious that the Qin Wang doesn't want to see us?"

Shen Wanwan lowered her eyes. Of course she understood what the man meant, but could this really be what Gu Beichen meant?

She shook her head and said, "No, if the King of Qin knew I was coming, there is no way he would refuse to see me. What that person said only proves that the prince is indeed not at home at this time.

"As for when the King of Qin will return, perhaps what he said is true. He doesn't know when the King of Qin will return."
