Today is the happiest day for Qin Xue since she entered the palace.
She finally had the chance to meet people outside the palace.
After being brought into the palace by Chen Banjun, she lost contact with the outside world, which made her restless and unable to eat or sleep.
She didn't want to marry a eunuch, and she didn't want to be trapped in the palace for the rest of her life, but the palace was Chen Banjun's territory, and she couldn't get out at all.
Just when she thought she would be trapped here for the rest of her life, she overheard a conversation between Chen Banjun and his eunuch.
Chen Banjun said, "Today, Her Majesty the Empress is hosting a banquet for all the noblewomen and their families. With so many people, trouble is bound to happen. You must be extremely careful."
After the young eunuch finished speaking, he asked, "Master, in principle, your wife should also be able to attend such a banquet. Would you like to take your wife with you?"
After Qin Xue entered the palace, although there was no wedding banquet, everyone in the palace believed that she was Chen Banjun's wife. Therefore, Qin Xue understood that the "master's wife" mentioned by the little eunuch was herself.
She was overjoyed at that moment.
If one can attend the Empress's banquet, one will come into contact with others, and perhaps have the opportunity to ask someone to pass on a message to the Li family.
But before her smile could fully bloom, Chen Banjun said, "I won't take her. Your master's wife's mind is still unsettled. Taking her out could easily cause problems."
Because of this, Qin Xue went to great lengths to coax Chen Banjun, making all sorts of promises that she would obediently be his wife. Chen Banjun finally relented and sent her a set of fine silks and satins.
This outfit is no less impressive than the one Qin Xue wore in Jiangnan, which shows that the Grand Eunuch in front of the Emperor is very wealthy, and it's not just a rumor.
However, what made Qin Xue happy was not the clothes, but that she could leave the palace.
She no longer wanted to stay in the capital; she had to find a way to return to Jiangnan.
She was like a bird released from its cage, her steps becoming much lighter.
Chen Banjun instructed, "The Empress is giving us face by inviting you to the banquet, so don't cause any trouble for us."
Our family isn't difficult to talk to. As long as you behave yourself, we won't restrict your freedom.
If you want to leave the palace in the future, you will be able to go out occasionally.
But you must remember your promise, be a good daughter-in-law to our family, and we will treat your child as our own, and we will not mistreat you and your child.”
The Qin family, who were living a comfortable life, chose to join Li Heng in rebellion, and were destined for a bad end.
If Qin Xue is truly willing to live a good life with him, Chen Banjun will try his best to save her life, just for the sake of the child having a biological mother by his side.
This was the opportunity he was giving Qin Xue.
If Qin Xue insists on going down the path of death, he will have no choice but to leave his mother and child behind.
But Qin Xue was only focused on escaping, so how could she listen to his words? She just gave him perfunctory replies.
In his heart, he was thinking that since his uncle had been expelled from the Imperial Hospital, the Li family, who were imperial physicians, were no longer qualified to enter the palace.
But when she came to Beijing, her mother told her about some officials in the court who had connections with the Li and Qin families. She had to find an opportunity to get close to those family members, but they had never met before. First, she had to find out their identities, and then she had to find a way to get close to them. It was not an easy task.
Unexpectedly, fate gave her a pleasant surprise.
She saw Wang Jingshuo, the man who had stayed temporarily at the Qin family's house.
Wang Jingshuo was once treated as an honored guest by the Qin family, and she had an excellent relationship with him. If she could ask him for help, she would definitely have a chance to leave the palace.
Wang Jingshuo also saw her and pretended to be surprised, saying, "Miss Qin, what are you doing here?"
When did you arrive in the capital, and with which woman did you enter the palace today?
The series of questions brought tears to Qin Xue's eyes.
She didn't come in with the noble ladies; she was forcibly brought into the palace by that damned eunuch Chen Banjun.
As the daughter of the richest family in Jiangnan, she has been feeling extremely wronged lately.
"Young Master Wang, may we speak further?"
Seeing the beauty shed tears, Wang Jingshuo felt a pang of sympathy. "Miss Qin, if you encounter any difficulties, please tell me. I will do my best to help you."
Qin Xue suddenly felt a pang of sadness, as if she had met an old friend in a foreign land. She then recounted how she had followed Li Shuhuai to the capital, only to be tricked into entering the palace before she could even begin to enjoy her newfound wealth.
"Young Master Wang, I really didn't mean it. It was Su Luo who plotted against me."
After entering the palace, I was confined to my room every day. I miss my parents so much, and I long to go home. Please help me, and Xue'er will reward you handsomely.
After calming down, Qin Xue realized that it couldn't be such a coincidence. Judging from the situation that day, the Crown Prince and Chen Banjun were clearly helping Su Luoqing.
Therefore, she believed that she had been framed, but she was afraid that Wang Jingshuo would not help her because of the Crown Prince and Chen Banjun, so she simply said that Su Luoqing had plotted against her.
"Don't cry, don't cry. This young master can't stand seeing a beautiful woman shed tears."
Wang Jingshuo looked distressed. "If that's really the case, then Doctor Su has gone too far. But Li Shuhuai is no good either; he just won't try to help you."
Qin Xue also resented Li Shuhuai, but she still defended him in front of outsiders, saying, "My cousin Shuhuai was just a commoner, and he couldn't do anything about it at the time."
"Young Master Wang is different. Your father is an official, and you've come to such a banquet today; you must have a way to help me, right?"
“I want to help you, but it won’t be easy for me to secretly take you out of the palace. Even if I take you back to the Li family today, Eunuch Chen can still go to the Li family to ask for you back.”
He said it was not easy to do, not impossible, which means he has some connections in the palace, so getting into the palace shouldn't be difficult.
This was a wonderful surprise. Qin Xue quickly said, "There's no need for you to take me out of the palace, young master. You only need to pass on my message."
She knew very well that taking her out of the palace was too risky, and Wang Jingshuo might not be willing to take that risk.
"What did you say?"
"Xue'er will find an opportunity to get Chen Banjun to allow me to leave the palace. At that time, she will have the Li family arrange for me to return to Jiangnan."
Wang Jingshuo only needs to act as a mouthpiece between them.
Wang Jingshuo thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "You want the Li family to help you fake your death and leave Beijing?"
Qin Xue nodded.
If not, Chen Banjun will not let her off the hook.
