Chapter 303: Lovers Part, Old Friends Reunite
You know, if she wants to escape from the wedding banquet, she can't do it without Wen Ziduan's help. What's more, if He Zhaojun succeeds, Wen Ziduan will inevitably be implicated.
Wen Ziduan had been preparing to marry He Zhaojun since a year ago. He had done his best in everything from marriage customs to matters related to marriage. However, his efforts were not put to good use when he was in the southwest, and this time, everything was in vain.
Good things come to those who wait.
Shao Shang thought of Huo Buyi who was far away in the northwest. They had also experienced many hardships. Fortunately, with the help of He Zhaojun and Wen Ziduan, they had a good ending. However, He Zhaojun herself had a tragic life.
She wiped the tears from her face and without hesitation, hurried away with the sword in hand. Shao Shang and Wen Ziduan looked at each other, then quickly turned their eyes away. They both understood each other tacitly.
He Zhaojun saw Wen Ziduan's figure in the bronze mirror and smiled: "People say that it is a bad omen for newlyweds to meet before the wedding."
"You and I have been married for over two months, so we can't really be considered newlyweds, so there's no need to worry about these things."
He Zhaojun also nodded: "You do have a point, but I am sure that I can come back alive. You don't have to look at me with such a farewell look."
Wen Ziduan's eyes were filled with sadness, and although he never said it out loud, He Zhaojun had already sensed it. She simply thought that Wen Ziduan was worried about her, which was why he had such doubts.
"Don't worry, I can endure the punishment from the court judge. Remember to find a way to get me out. If I'm still alive by then, I'll repay you for your help today..."
He Zhaojun was still speaking in a relaxed manner, but she only felt that she was being held tightly in Wen Zi's arms. His arms were so hot and strong that He Zhaojun could hardly breathe.
"You said you would get me out of the court when the time comes. Will you really listen to me?"
Wen Ziduan's voice was so low that He Zhaojun felt her ears itch. For a moment, she hugged his back and patted him soothingly: "Yes, from then on, I will listen to you."
He Zhaojun did not realize what determination Wen Ziduan had made and what method he had come up with to rescue He Zhaojun from the court unharmed and to go to the northwest to investigate the matter of his father and brother openly.
If she knew, she would definitely oppose Wen Ziduan's almost crazy behavior.

Wedding banquet scene.
The He family had already arrived at the Princess's residence. Even though they had been under house arrest, no one dared to neglect them. The two elder brothers, along with their younger brother, were all dressed neatly and mounted on horses, escorting He Zhaojun's carriage to see her off.
Several sisters-in-law had already arrived at the banquet, weaving among the female guests to welcome the new guests in. Normally, this was a royal wedding banquet, and the palace ladies were in charge, but Concubine Yue had specifically requested the help of the He family's sister-in-law, hoping that it would bring some comfort to He Zhaojun on such a day.
"Madam He is really... so sad."
"Serves you right. Who knows if the recent rumors about the He family are true?"
"Shut up, or I'll punch you."
Wang Yan, who had rushed back from other places, was also sitting among the female guests. However, a year ago, she would have been the one gossiping, but now she has become a loyal supporter of He Zhaojun.
This contrast surprised even the girls who had befriended He Zhaojun in the capital before she got married. But then they were relieved. Even if they expressed dissatisfaction, they all gave He Zhaojun a thumbs-up in their hearts.
She has this ability to make others admire her from the bottom of their hearts. After all, she is He Zhaojun.
