Hearing this, the Princess of Nanyue's face changed instantly.

The Princess of Nanyue raised her head with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

"I have a way to let you meet Ye Yunzi." Baili Ye said confidently.

"Really?" The princess could hardly believe it. She had been upset these days because of Ye Yunzi's matter and even found it difficult to breathe.

Baili Ye smiled slightly, "Of course."

The princess frowned and bit her lower lip, her heart full of hesitation. Finally, she asked, "What are you going to do?"

"I just need to borrow the manpower around you. I promise that this will never cause you any trouble." There was sincerity in his words.

The princess frowned and struggled for a long time. After thinking it over again and again, thinking of Shen Siyan's heroic figure, she decided not to let her lover be taken away by others, and she firmly believed that he did not do so voluntarily.

"Okay, I agree!" the princess replied firmly.

A few days later, the Su family received another invitation letter.

"Miss, Miss..." Yu Shu ran in hurriedly.

Ye Yunzi looked up and saw that the letter was obviously worth a lot of money. She frowned and asked, "Is it the Princess of Nanyue again?"

During this period, she had declined the Princess of South Vietnam's invitations many times.

"No, this time it's Princess Thirteen."

After receiving the letter, Ye Yunzi recognized it as Baili Yue's handwriting. The letter told about her boring life in the palace and her mother's disallowing her to go out for fun, so she specially invited Ye Yunzi.

Thinking of Baili Yue's innocent look, Ye Yunzi's expression became much gentler, and she agreed, "Okay."

Although she has no good feelings towards the Fourth Prince, Baili Yue is hard to dislike. Her innocence and sincerity are really irresistible.

After changing her clothes, Ye Yunzi prepared to go to the palace.

At this time, Aliang was wandering outside the door, as if he wanted to say something. When she saw Ye Yunzi, she seemed a little hesitant.

"Is there anything wrong?" Ye Yunzi asked.

"Miss, are you going to the palace?" Aliang asked cautiously.

After receiving a positive answer, Aliang took out a small handkerchief with exquisite embroidery from his sleeve and said, "Last time, Empress Xian praised the beauty of the amulet, so I tried to make one. If you meet Empress Xian, please help me pass this to her."

This amulet was meticulously crafted, with neat stitches, but on Aliang's roughened hands from martial arts training, there were a few tiny pinhole marks left.

She put her hands away with a bit of embarrassment, explaining that although she could embroider, she was usually around swords and it was inevitable that she was unfamiliar with such delicate work.

Ye Yunzi stared at the amulet in her hand, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She found that Empress Xian was particularly kind to Aliang, and her eyes were as gentle as a mother's towards her child.

Perhaps, this is fate.

"If there is nothing important, please come with me to the palace." Ye Yunzi suggested, "It would be better to hand this gift to Empress Xian in person."

After a moment's hesitation, Aliang nodded in agreement.

The carriage slowly drove to the gate of the imperial palace, and under the guidance of the palace maid, the two came to the outside of Fenghua Palace.

When Ye Yunzi saw the familiar figure, her brows frowned involuntarily. It was the Princess of Nanyue whose invitation she had declined many times.

"Yunzi!" Baili Yue came up to her happily and held her arm affectionately, "You are finally here!"

Ye Yunzi quickly adjusted her expression and bowed respectfully, "Hail, Princess Thirteen."

"There's no need to be so polite between us." Baili Yue said with a smile.

Not far away, the Princess of Nanyue had a flash of jealousy in her eyes when she saw Ye Yunzi, but she quickly concealed it. She walked forward with a sweet smile and said, "Is this the Miss Ye that the princess often mentioned?"

Although she was reluctant, Ye Yunzi still politely responded: "Meet the Princess of Nanyue."

Confused about the true intentions of the Princess of Nanyue, Ye Yunzi decided to remain vigilant. However, the other party acted very friendly, as if she didn't mind the previous rejection at all. This made Ye Yunzi even more confused about her thoughts.

Baili Yue quietly told Ye Yunzi: "In fact, the Princess of Nanyue is a very nice person, not arrogant, so don't be too restrained."

Although she nodded in agreement, Ye Yunzi was confused. If she had not experienced the drowning incident herself, she might have been deceived by this appearance. It was obviously not an accident. If she had not noticed in time that someone was behind it, the consequences would be disastrous.

Now, seeing the fleeting cold light in the eyes of the Princess of Nanyue again, she was convinced that the hostility was real.

But what was the reason? Ye Yunzi thought hard, she had never offended the Princess of Nanyue, and even Mu Yan, who pretended to be her, had never had any contact with her. It was not until later that she realized that all this was related to Shen Siyan.

In the palace, everyone had to be careful, especially when facing the Princess of Nanyue. Although she was in the palace, she had to restrain herself and not be too presumptuous.

"I heard that the Imperial Garden is full of blooming flowers and is the most beautiful scenery in the capital. I wonder if I have the honor to visit it?" The Princess of Nanyue suddenly suggested, with curiosity flashing in her eyes.

"Of course!" Baili Yue responded immediately, "The Imperial Garden not only has a variety of flowers and plants, but also rare peonies. It is indeed worth seeing. Come, I will take you there."

"That's great." The Princess of Nanyue agreed readily.

The three of them headed towards the Imperial Garden. On the way, Ye Yunzi intentionally or unintentionally kept a certain distance from the Princess of Nanyue, always with Baili Yue between them to prevent any accidents.

After walking for a while, the Princess of Nanyue suddenly stopped and said, "Oh, my handkerchief fell in Fenghua Palace. You guys go first, I will catch up with you soon."

"Okay." Baili Yue nodded in agreement and said to Ye Yunzi, "Let's go first."

As the Princess of Nanyue turned and left, Ye Yunzi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that perhaps she was too nervous.

After all, the Princess of Nanyue is of noble status and they are unlikely to target a small character like her.

The two continued to move forward. At this time, Ah Liang, who was following behind, frowned and looked very uneasy. He quickened his pace and approached Ye Yunzi, quietly pulling the corner of her clothes to signal her.

Ye Yunzi slowed down her pace and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"There is a new fragrance on the young lady." Aliang said softly.

Ye Yunzi subconsciously smelled her sleeves and indeed smelled a strange fragrance. After careful inspection, she found a sachet in her arms.

"Where did this come from?" She was surprised. Did she accidentally bring it with her and forget about it?

Aliang took the sachet and examined it carefully. "This spice comes from a hot and humid place. It cannot be found in the capital. This is not yours."

After hearing this, Ye Yunzi immediately became alert, "Is this sachet poisonous?"

"It's not poisonous." Aliang shook his head.

"If it's not poisonous..." Ye Yunzi was even more confused. She originally guessed that someone wanted to harm her, but since it was not poisonous, what was the purpose?
