Bab 313: Chapter 309 Following the Emperor's Will

```

The Empress Dowager had not seen Ruo Xuan for a long time, so she had Ruo Xuan stay overnight in the palace, specifically in Cining Palace.

Ruo Xuan played in the palace for the day, and only left the palace on the day the spring examinations began.

Xuanyuan Que accompanied Ruo Xuan out of the palace, and she invited him to go on an outing beyond the city walls.

The Empress Dowager, feeling uneasy, insisted that the Crown Prince accompany the two of them.

Today being the day of the spring examinations, the streets of the Capital City were on heightened alert, with guards stationed every hundred meters, and patrolling troops could be encountered from time to time.

The street in front of the Imperial Examination Court was even more strictly guarded, with guards every ten meters to prevent any sudden incidents.
