The concubine escaped and cried when she met the prince again

After she finished speaking, she was afraid that he would disagree, so she continued, "It's like this, I want to go out and buy some things, and make some clothes for the children to burn for them, so that they won't be afraid of the cold in the future."

Jiang Dichen came back to his senses and looked at the woman who kept talking about wanting to go out. He wanted to refuse, but when he saw her eyes full of desire, he finally nodded and said, "Okay."

He paused and said, "You have to go to the palace at 3 p.m. tomorrow, so come back early."

Shen Ruolan was relieved to hear that she could go out tomorrow. Great, the chance of escaping increased a little. In order not to reveal any flaws, she happily replied to Jiang Dichen, "Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

Jiang Dichen looked at the easily satisfied little woman and said in a good mood: "Well, in the future, you should smile more like today."

After saying this, he carried the woman into the dormitory.

Shen Ruolan knew what the man was going to do next, but at the moment, she had no reason to refuse and could only resign herself to her fate and cooperate with the man.

Besides, if she wants to leave smoothly, this man is very important. She must coax him until he trusts her, so that it will be easier for her to escape.

It doesn't matter if others call her useless or casual, for the sake of her future freedom, she doesn't care about that now.

That night, the two fought hard all night until dawn. Seeing that the little woman could not bear it any longer, Jiang Dichen reluctantly left and lay down beside her, falling into a deep sleep.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Madam Lan waited until her husband had favored his concubine for half a night before she found him and said, "My husband, Rong'er's marriage cannot be delayed any longer."

After that, she told Prime Minister Lan truthfully what her daughter had told her today.

After hearing this, Prime Minister Lan said with a sullen face: "If this is really the case, Your Majesty is going too far."

Madam Lan said, "That's too much, so let's go ask the emperor for help."

After Madam Lan finished speaking, she paused and said with a sad face: "Rong'er has been waiting for King Han since she was fifteen years old. Now five years have passed, and my daughter is already in her twenties and can't wait any longer."

Prime Minister Lan also felt that what his wife said made sense. After a brief silence, he said to Madam Lan, "After the morning court tomorrow, I will go to see the emperor and try to get him to force Prince Han and Rong'er to get married at the banquet tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you for your help, my husband." After getting her husband's approval, Mrs. Lan left with peace of mind.

The next day, Jiang Dichen woke up. He looked at the sleeping face of the woman beside him. Somehow, he felt inexplicably at ease. Especially with her by his side, he could sleep very soundly.

You know, ever since his mother passed away, he had never slept well with his baby sister. It was not until Lan Wanxi came into the mansion that his sleep improved a lot.

Jiang Dichen thought that this was all thanks to the little woman, which softened his usually cold face. He got up from the bed and said to Wandong in a deep voice, "Concubine Lan is going out today. You must follow her closely and don't make any mistakes."

Wan Dong lowered his head and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Jiang Dichen put on his clothes and walked a few steps, then turned back and told Wan Dong, "If Concubine Lan doesn't wake up in an hour, wake her up."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wan Dong replied.

Sure enough, an hour later, Shen Ruolan still hadn't woken up, so Wan Dong had no choice but to go to the bedside and shout to her, "My lady, wake up, my lady..."

After Wan Dong called several times, Shen Ruolan finally woke up. She asked Wan Dong with sleepy eyes: "Dong'er, what's wrong?"

Wan Dong looked at the confused young lady and said helplessly, "Young lady, it's already 9:00 PM, do you still want to go out?"

Shen Ruolan woke up instantly after hearing Wan Dong's words. She quickly got up from the bed and said, "Dong'er, quickly prepare some water for me to wash up."

"Yes, my lady." Wan Dong replied.

Because she was going out, Shen Ruolan dressed very quickly. In less than fifteen minutes, she had packed everything. She picked up the only five taels of silver she had, hesitated for a moment, and opened a small box in front of the dressing table. Inside was a pair of earrings, two hairpins, two other silk flowers, and a jade pendant that she used to wear close to her body. Except for the jade pendant of ordinary texture, these things were all given to her by Madam Lan on the day she entered the palace.

Shen Ruolan picked up the ordinary jade pendant and recalled it in her mind. It was given to her by her original mother before she passed away. In her memory, her original mother held her hand tightly and repeatedly told her to keep the jade pendant well.

Shen Ruolan took the jade pendant and looked at it, and decided to hang it around her neck and carry it with her. She held the other things in a handkerchief and would pawn them later. Although these things were not worth much, they were better than having nothing.

As for why she didn't consider it as something the man gave her, she didn't want to draw too much attention from him, otherwise it would ruin her plans.

Wan Dong saw that the young lady had packed up all her previous things, so she looked at her and asked curiously, "Young lady, what are you doing with this thing?"

Shen Ruolan packed her things and smiled at her, "It's okay, let's go quickly."

After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she couldn't wait to walk out.

Wan Dong followed behind and shouted, "My dear, you haven't had breakfast yet."

Shen Ruolan, who was in the front, responded in a good mood: "No more eating, come over and lead the way."

"Yes," Wan Dong said, and hurriedly followed, while He Yue stayed to look after the yard.

After Wan Dong and Shen Ruolan turned left and right several times, they finally arrived at the gate of Prince Han's Mansion. After Shen Ruolan stepped out of the gate of Prince Han's Mansion, she subconsciously looked up. The majestic gate of the palace was just like their master, intimidating without even being angry, which made people feel awe.

Shen Ruolan withdrew her gaze and swore to herself in her heart that she must stay away from this cage-like mansion.

The two of them came to the street. Shen Ruolan glanced around and said to Wan Dong: "Dong'er, take me to the pawn shop."

After Wan Dong heard what the young lady said, she hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Young lady, that is the only thing you have. Do you really want to pawn it?"

Shen Ruolan sighed and said, "Just be it, you will have it in the future."

She said this to Wandong, and also to herself. Although the future is bleak, as long as she doesn't give up, she believes that things will get better and better.

"Okay." Seeing that her master was determined to pawn her item, Wan Dong took her to the pawnshop.

Arriving at the pawnshop, Shen Ruolan handed the item in her hand to the pawnshop owner and said, "Boss, could you please help me check how much this is worth?"

The pawnshop owner took a look at the things in Shen Ruolan's hand and held up two fingers to her, "This is the value of your things."

Shen Ruolan looked at the shopkeeper's outstretched finger, she looked at him and asked, "Twenty taels?"
