Unable to Leave (5)

'Next, I need to contact that Junzhu. But, I reckon the Imperial Palace is on lock down right now and the residences of the relatives probably wouldn't want to accept guests.' She sighed to herself. 'Do I have to wait until the funeral is over? But that's such a waste of time...' She then brightened up as she thought of an idea and spoke to herself out loud. "I could but, it might be trouble if I was caught. Oh well, I'm in a hurry to leave so who cares. But maybe tomorrow, I need to rest today." She decided on her course of action for tomorrow and then turned in for sleep.
