In 1792, she followed Armfelt to [[Naples]]. She was entrusted some of his papers, and buried them in the garden, but the servant who buried them sold the documents and replaced them with a blanc paper, which contributed to the exposure of the Armfelt conspiracy. An order of arrest was warranted on her husband, and because of it, she was herself detained several times, in Rome and Venice, during her travel from Italy to relatives in [[Riga]] in [[Livonia]] in 1794. She was allowed to keep her pension as lady in waiting and was given a travel sum by [[Charles XIII of Sweden|Duke Charles]]. Her husband was sentenced to death in absentia for treason and she was banned from Sweden and from using his name. [[Axel von Fersen the Younger]] was her agent in economic affairs in Sweden. She remained convinced of her husband's innoncence, at least officially.▼

The couple resided under the protection of [[Catherine the Great]] in [[Kaluga]]. Hedvig Ulrika acted as the agent of her husband on several occasions. She visited [[Paul I of Russia]] to ask for better conditions in 1796, but failed. When [[Gustav IV Adolf of Sweden]] was declard of legal majority in 1797, she visited the Swedish monarch and achieved permission for her to return to Sweden, to use her husband’s name to allow Armfelt to live anywhere except Sweden and Russia and to stop all active persecution toward him. She then managed to get permission from the czar to allow Armfelt to leave Russia, and in 1798, she travelled with him to [[Berlin]].
