Chapter 063
The next morning, the two left the cave and walked about a mile along the mountain road and happened to meet several herders carrying baskets. Under the guidance of local herders, they headed south along the stream. Just after afternoon, they met with a group of generals who were anxiously searching for Emperor Yuan of Jin on the hillside.
Su Wanrong's game this time is obviously not a meticulous escape plan, but it ended in failure.
After being rescued, Su Wanrong was settled in the palace where she temporarily stayed in the previous few days. What's strange is that the matter of her attempt to escape down the mountain that day seemed to have been deliberately banned, and no one mentioned it to her at all. Zhuer and Ayu, who were originally serving her, suddenly disappeared. I heard from the newly transferred girls that they were temporarily arranged to serve elsewhere because they were unable to protect the master.
Even though he said that, Su Wanrong's heart was like a mirror.
The incense pavilion where she settled in is still heavily guarded. In addition, compared with the number of guards patrolling outside the door before she escaped, it seems that there are more than twice as many guards patrolling outside the door every day. Su Wanrong obviously knows what this means. Whether it is the guards or the two replaced maids, it means that the man has not given up on the idea of continuing to imprison her until now, and has even strengthened his defenses.
But now Su Wanrong has a very low feeling of simply giving up on herself.
First, because of this failed escape experience, Su Wanrong completely realized the reality. As he said, with her own strength, even if she died of rotten death on the hillside, she would not be able to escape.
Second, Su Wanrong still remembers that the man clearly said in person that her father had been placed at the foot of Boling Mountain. If this was the case, she would have escaped back to Beijing alone, and it would have lost all meaning.
Therefore, although Su Wanrong was so tough that she was unreasonable, she still felt very disgusted with the man. But she also thought negatively and resignedly that if this person could let her meet her father and daughter, she could barely continue to endure it. As long as she did not touch the bottom line, she could even throw away everything and no longer care about all the things in her previous life that would definitely not be pleasant.
But things went against my wishes.
So many days have passed, and Su Wanrong doesn't want to mention her father's people. She has never heard of any news about her father.
Not only that, let alone her father, she has never even seen the man again since she returned to the palace that day!
Su Wanrong was really worried about her father too much. She couldn't help but think about anything she could not see her father every day.
Her father had just survived a disaster, but as Buddhism said, everything has a certainty. If his father had a disaster, even if he had barely avoided the fire in his previous life, other mistakes would happen later?
The road to Leave the Palace was winding and twists, and even if she sat down, she felt her waist sore. But her father was old and his legs were not flexible. Could he be able to withstand the bumps of the mountain road?
Having no news for so many days, or is it because my father was in danger on the way to come? The man was afraid that she would know, so he did not dare to see her, trying to hide the facts and keep her alone in the dark?
The deeper Su Wanrong thought about it, the more worried and panic he felt. When he thought of this, he frightened himself into a cold sweat.
He was so anxious that he couldn't help but ask the girl who served her. There was only one reply he could get: "I serve the Empress according to the will of the Lord, and I am only responsible for the Empress's daily life and the affairs of the Lord. The Lord has never explained it, and I don't know."
So Su Wanrong could only continue to convince herself that everything should be better. After all, that person was the emperor. Maybe he had sent some important matters or major decisions from the capital in the past few days, which required him to deal with immediately. It was really difficult to get out, so he delayed the rest. Maybe he was really too busy, and he definitely didn't deliberately suppress her from seeing her father.
In this way, Su Wanrong waited for two more days. Just when she couldn't help but was about to find some valuable decorations and tried to ask the guards outside the door to help her out for some questions. Someone finally came from the bedroom where Emperor Jin Yuan lived.
This was about the first time. After she heard the man's name from others, she felt sincerely excited.
Su Wanrong thought, maybe the man finally realized his conscience and finally decided to send someone to take her to where her father was?
She could no longer wait for the maid to dress her up, so she pulled a shirt and put it on her body. She turned her embroidered shoes on the corner of the couch and turned over and stood up impatiently.
When she hurried outside the door, she expected that the servant who was about to lead her to see her father did not see half of it. However, she saw an officer wearing military uniform and strong eyebrows as if he had been waiting there for a long time.
Su Wanrong was stunned.
She recognized this man, which was the most respected general of the auxiliary country under Emperor Yuan of Jin. It was him who took her from Xue Yanzhi's prince's mansion.

I went back to the palace in a few more chapters. I could almost prepare for the wedding after returning to the palace.
