Wanrong and her entourage landed at Dalian on November 28th, 1931. Initially the Japanese military did not allow Puyi and Wanrong to stay together, with Wanrong's requests to visit Puyi being declined. Kudo Tetsuaburo, who worked as a guard for puyi, stated there was a rumor that the emperor had been killed and another rumor that he had been put under house arrest. It was claimed that Wanrong cried and shouted out: "Why am I not allowed to see His Majesty?" Wanrong was eventually allowed to visit Puyi in Lushun. It is possible the Japanese military initially feared that Puyi could be influenced by those around him at such a critical stage of developments and were hesitant to allow them to live together. Prince Su's Mansion in Lushun served as Puyi's temporary palace in which Wanrong would spend a few months before settling in Hsinking. Li Guoxing recalled on a trip to the beach on the outskirts of Dalian, along with their entourage, Wanrong was very happy, she kept chatting to Puyi and laughed all the time. She collected cobbles and shells and although not brave, she would go into the sea by standing on the reefs above water. Occasionally she would act like a spoiled child before her husband. Zhou Junshi noted that while leaving for Hsinking she was not as lively as a typical woman in her twenties. Puyi and Wanrong had a photo taken together at Duicui Cabinet hotel when they stepped out of the hotel before departing for Changchun at 8am.
