King Yan is the seventh younger brother of Emperor Luo, and holds the highest official position in the Zongren Mansion - Zongren Ling. Mu Wan'er naturally needs his permission if she wants to see Baili Wushang.
"This..." King Yan's face became troubled when he heard that Mu Wan'er wanted to see Baili Wushang.
"Why, is Uncle Seventh Prince in trouble?" Mu Waner asked with a smile.
"Niece-in-law, you should know that the Crown Prince has an order that no one is allowed to visit His Highness Prince Kang at will." Prince Yan said seriously.
"I will tell you personally about the prince's side. In any case, Prince Kang is not only my cousin, but also my brother-in-law. I have not seen him since he was imprisoned here. In terms of emotion and reason, I
Everyone should come and visit." Mu Wan'er looked determined.
"So..." King Yan's eyes flashed, and then he nodded, "You can go see His Highness Prince Kang, but you must be accompanied by someone I designate, and you can't get too close to His Highness Prince Kang, and you must at least stay away from him
Three steps away."
A flash of joy flashed in Mu Wan'er's eyes, and then she said cheerfully: "I know, I promise Uncle Wang. Uncle Wang, hurry up and ask someone to lead the way."
King Yan nodded, then waved to a small official next to him and ordered: "Take the prince's concubine Mu to see King Kang."
"Yes, sir." The young official responded, then bowed to Mu Wan'er and made a gesture of invitation, "My queen, please come with me."
Mu Wan'er and Yun Jingchu followed the young official and walked towards the back of the clan mansion.
The Zongren Mansion is located in the northwest corner of the palace. In the front is the government office where Zongren Ling and other Zongren Mansion officials work. Behind is the high-walled compound where royal sinners are imprisoned. There are many small courtyards in the courtyard, and there are forbidden areas inside and outside the courtyard.
The guards were on guard.
The young official led Mu Wan'er and Yun Jingchu all the way inside, passing through courtyards.
Along the way, Yun Jingchu was very nervous. When he thought that he would see Baili Wushang soon, his heart was extremely excited. However, when he thought that he might have suffered great humiliation, his heart couldn't help but clench into a ball.
Finally, the little official stopped at the door of a small courtyard.
The fence of the courtyard is very high, with two guards guarding the outside, and the dark red courtyard door is locked with a huge iron lock.
"Open the door. The lord asked me to bring the crown prince's concubine to see His Highness Prince Kang." The young official ordered the guard.
The two guards looked at each other with obvious surprise in their eyes, but they didn't ask any more questions. They responded, and one of them stepped forward and opened the iron lock on the door.
Creak! The door made a long and heavy sound and was pushed open by the guard.
"Your Majesty, please." The young official made a gesture of invitation, and after Mu Wan'er and Yun Jingchu entered, he continued to lead them inside.
The small courtyard was deserted, with no one around.
The young official led the two of them through the small courtyard, walked towards the main room, opened the door of the main room, then bowed and said: "My queen, please come in."
Mu Wan'er snorted softly, then stepped in with her head held high, and Yun Jingchu followed closely.
In the room, two eunuchs and two maids who were sitting at the table playing cards saw someone coming in. They stood up quickly and looked at the little official with puzzled faces.
The young official coughed dryly, and then said coldly: "This is the crown prince's concubine, why don't you bow quickly?"
The four slaves were startled, and then they quickly knelt down and saluted: "I have seen the concubine."
"Well, get up and take me to see Prince Kang." Mu Waner ordered calmly.
