Xiao'er was anxiously thinking of a plan to save Shangguan Wanru.
However, before she got a chance to act, she received news that the Nangong Emperor had passed away.
Following the death of the Nangong Emperor, the entire kingdom was put on lockdown.
The Crown Prince's residence was put under strict surveillance.
The death of the Nangong Emperor came too fast! They just received news about Gong Zixuan's fatal accident, and less than two hours later, news of the Nangong Emperor's death arrived.
Xiao'er now realized that rescuing Shangguan Wanru was going to be even more challenging.
The death of the Emperor was unlike that of the Crown Prince. When the Emperor dies, there is a mourning period of eighty-one days. During this time, Shangguan Wanru must remain in the Imperial Palace to mourn. Xiao'er had to admit, even if she could make herself invisible, she couldn't rescue someone from the funeral hall!
So no matter what, saving her at this moment was simply impossible.
