A few days later, early in the morning...
The door of the inn was knocked on, and a eunuch arrived, asking for "Li Fan's" name and, after a brief comparison of appearances, took Song Yan away.
Li Fan was, of course, the pseudonym previously agreed upon with Fu Shirong.
"Are you the Empress's savior? Listen, ask for your reward later and leave as soon as possible, got it?" The eunuch said sharply.
Song Yan nodded and replied, "Understood, understood."
Before long, the two of them arrived at a nearby carriage.
The curtain was lifted, and a snow-white delicate hand reached out and beckoned.
The eunuch frowned and said, "Madam, if the Wei King knows..."
A voice from inside the carriage interrupted, "Just a brief conversation."
A chill flashed in the eunuch's expression, and he said, "Then make it quick."
Song Yan boarded the carriage, lifted the curtain, and entered.
