My best friends both transmigrated into a book and married powerful officials; she left me and I lef

The people in front of her all turned around and looked at her.

Feng Hengzhi frowned and asked with displeasure, "What's wrong with you now?"

Sang Luan had a pained look on her face, clutching her stomach, looking extremely uncomfortable. "I...I have a stomachache, I need to relieve myself."

A hint of impatience flashed across Feng Hengzhi's brow; this woman was truly troublesome.

The young eunuch leading the way pointed to another person and was about to speak when Sang Luan interrupted him.

"Father-in-law, just tell me the way, you all go about your business." Sang Luan squinted her eyes slightly.

A hint of hesitation flashed across the father-in-law's face, and he subconsciously looked at Feng Hengzhi, "This..."

Feng Hengzhi didn't linger at all, only leaving behind the words, "Let her go."

The group then walked away.

Having received confirmation, the father-in-law visibly relaxed, turned to the side and pointed to a spot ahead, "Do you see that corner ahead?"

Sang Luan followed his gaze and saw that the corner he was pointing to was exactly the direction in which the opera troupe had just passed by.

She nodded like a chick pecking at rice, listening very attentively.

"After you turn that corner, there are two paths, one on the left and one on the right. Just take the right path and keep going until you reach the end, and that's the restroom."

"By the way, remember to return the way you came after you've finished using the restroom. Be careful not to take the wrong path. The palace is a complex place, and there are many people around today. If you don't take the right path, you might miss the banquet."

“This is the closest place to the latrine, so it will be easier for me to find it when I come back.” Sang Luan’s eyes flickered slightly. “Even if I can’t go back the way I came, knowing other places won’t prevent me from getting to the main hall in time.”

The young eunuch thought for a moment and said, "The banquet will be held in the Linde Hall. We are only just entering the palace now, and there is still a long way to go to the Linde Hall. However, after the banquet, the patrol office is to the right of the latrine. If you really can't find your way, you can go to the patrol office and find Lord Wei, and have someone there take you there. It will be the same."

Inspection Division?

Mr. Wei?

She was just wondering how to subtly steer the conversation towards the Patrol Department when the little eunuch brought it up on his own initiative.

Sang Luan's eyes lit up immediately, and she asked calmly, "The Patrol and Inspection Division?"

"Yes, please don't be mistaken." The little eunuch looked around, moved closer to Sang Luan, and lowered his voice, "Consort An in the palace is very much favored by the Emperor. If you are unlucky enough to run into her, try to avoid her."

Sang Luan's eyebrows were slightly raised, and the beauty mark at the corner of her right eye looked particularly alluring.

She lowered her eyes, took out a small handful of loose silver from her sleeve, and handed it to the young eunuch without making a sound, her eyes crinkling with a smile, "Thank you for the reminder, sir."

Her gaze darkened slightly, and she couldn't help but ask another question, "Would you please say one more thing, sir? Otherwise, if we really run into someone I don't know and accidentally offend them, wouldn't that displease His Majesty...?"

The young eunuch looked up and met Sang Luan's amber eyes.

He was startled and flattered, bowing even more deeply. "You're too kind. I absolutely cannot accept this servant."

Sang Luan smiled slightly, loosened her grip, and the loose silver in her hand naturally slipped into the little eunuch's sleeve.

The little eunuch's smile grew even brighter. He had heard that ever since the eldest daughter of the Minister's mansion married Lord Feng, she had been so arrogant and domineering in the mansion, always causing trouble.

Now that I've seen him, he's not as bad as the rumors say.

"Actually, it's easy to recognize her. She's always surrounded by people before and after she goes out." Xiao Tai's surveillance line fell on Sang Luan's clothes. "And she has a special fondness for pale yellow clothes. Wherever she is, she never allows anyone to wear the same thing as her."

Sang Luan looked down and understood why the other party had suddenly brought up Consort An.

She happened to be wearing a pale yellow dress today.

"Aren't you in a hurry anymore?" the little eunuch asked in confusion.

Sang Luan paused for a moment, then bent over again, looking pale. "Urgent? Who said we weren't in a hurry? We're in a great hurry."

After saying that, he ignored the little eunuch and turned to walk straight ahead.

Watching Sang Luan leave in a hurry, the little eunuch shook his head. This Lady Feng was truly an interesting person.

After turning the corner, Sang Luan hurriedly craned her neck to look ahead, but she was too late; the huge corridor was completely empty.

Perhaps because this wasn't the main road, she didn't encounter many people along the way.

Suddenly, her gaze was drawn to something not far away on the ground. She looked around first, and after finding no one, she jogged over.

Pick it up.

Huh?

Why is it just a wooden sign, with bits of dirt stuck to it?

This doesn't seem like something ministers would carry around. If it doesn't belong to a minister, then it can only be...

Without much thought, he stood up and discreetly slipped the wooden plaque into his sleeve.

According to the directions given by the little eunuch, the patrol office should be located in the northwest corner.

After a stick of incense.

Northwest corner, patrol station.

Sang Luan lifted the hem of her dress and slowly entered.

"Young lady, you've come to the wrong place. This isn't a banquet..."

As she approached, a guard stepped forward to block her path, frowning as he gave her a warning.

Before he could finish speaking, Sang Luan interrupted him, "Where is Lord Wei?"

"Lord Wei? His Majesty is holding a banquet in the Linde Hall today. Lord Wei led a team out on an inspection tour." The guard answered matter-of-factly, then turned his gaze to Sang Luan. "Wait a minute, what would a young lady like you want with Lord Wei?"

Sang Luan said directly, "I need to talk to him."

After saying that, he lifted his foot to go inside.

The guard frowned, put his hand in front of her to block her way, and knocked on the door again. "Hey, hey, hey, do you see? Unauthorized personnel are not allowed in."

Sang Luan's eyes turned cold; if she delayed any longer, it might be too late.

"What's all this commotion about?" Suddenly, a guard with a sword swaggered in, his tone revealing obvious displeasure.

He glared at the people around him, and then his voice suddenly rose, "What are you all doing gathered here? Aren't you going to patrol?"

"You're quite lucky." The guard who had been blocking her gestured behind her with his chin. "Yes, Lord Wei is here."

Sang Luan quickly turned around and immediately spotted the man with sharp eyes and brows in the crowd. He was tall and exuded a bloodthirsty aura.

"Lord Wei." She stepped forward and spoke first.

Wei Jian exclaimed in surprise, "A young lady from the Sang family?"

Sang Luan narrowed her eyes slightly. Was this person someone she knew?

She frantically searched her memory for anything about the person in front of her.

However, there was only a blank space.

Her face was cold and her expression serious. "Lord Wei, I have something very important to tell you."
