Nevertheless, it is always better to be cautious, and the sudden appearance of the sachet is enough to prove that someone is secretly operating behind the scenes.

"Throw it away, throw it far away."

"Yes, sir." Aliang replied.

Aliang left in a hurry, holding the sachet tightly in his hand.

Ye Yunzi frowned. She was careful in every way, but was still tricked by the Princess of Nanyue. She didn't even notice when the sachet appeared on her body.

Baili Yue noticed her abnormality and asked with concern: "What happened?"

"It's nothing, let's continue enjoying the flowers." Ye Yunzi quickly adjusted her mood and said with a smile.

She approached Baili Yue and felt relieved only after confirming that there was no unusual scent on the other person.

In the imperial garden, rockeries and rocks intertwined with vines, and flowers of all colors bloomed in competition, which was both enchanting and harmonious, making people feel relaxed and happy. The beautiful scenery in front of her made Ye Yunzi's mood slightly better.

Just as they were getting ready to enjoy the view, the silence was broken by the sudden screams of palace maids not far away.

"what happened?"

"What happened? Why was there such a scream?"

Ye Yunzi's heart tightened and she immediately thought of Aliang and the sachet.

Fortunately, Aliang returned quickly, but his face was covered in sweat and he looked nervous.

"What happened?" Ye Yunzi asked anxiously.

"Miss, the sachet contains flowers and plants that attract wasps!" Aliang explained hurriedly, "I threw the sachet in a corner of the garden, and soon there were swarms of wasps flying over."

Ye Yunzi was horrified when she heard this. If she hadn't found the sachet and had just walked around the garden, the consequences would be disastrous. What's worse, if this matter was exposed, not only would she be in danger, but the Thirteenth Princess would also be implicated.

Thinking of this, Ye Yunzi's face turned pale. The Princess of Nanyue was so cruel that she wanted to use wasps to attack her and even tried to frame innocent people.

At this time, Baili Yue said excitedly: "It seems to be very lively over there, let's go and take a look!"

Ye Yunzi quickly stopped him: "No, it might not be safe there."

The nanny beside her also advised: "Princess, for your safety, please don't go over there."

Baili Yue had no choice but to give up, but she still ordered her servants to check the situation and report back as soon as possible.

Several palace maids were sent to get information. Not long after, they came back in a panic, their faces pale. "Your Highness, wasps appeared in the imperial garden and stung several people."

"Wasp?" Baili Yue blinked in surprise, not understanding why such a situation suddenly appeared in the imperial garden.

At this time, Princess Yingying of Nanyue came over and asked curiously, "What happened? Why is it so noisy here?"

Ye Yunzi glanced at the Princess of Nanyue coldly. Seeing that Ye Yunzi was unharmed, the Princess of Nanyue's smile froze.

"Wasps came from nowhere and are wreaking havoc in the imperial garden. Fortunately, you were not involved." Ye Yunzi's voice was cold and calm.

The South Vietnamese princess forced a smile and responded, "It is indeed very lucky."

Due to an unexpected situation in the Imperial Garden, the flower viewing activity had to be cancelled and everyone returned to Fenghua Palace.

Ye Yunzi claimed that she was going to meet Empress Xian and found an excuse to leave.

Afterwards, the Princess of Nanyue also found an excuse to hurriedly leave the palace.

On the return carriage, the Nanyue Princess's expression became extremely ugly. "How could this happen? How could she not have been stung?"

Long Man replied in a deep voice: "She found the sachet and asked the maidservant to quietly dispose of it."

"How could you be exposed?" The Princess of Nanyue asked angrily. You know, Long Man is the top assassin in Nanyue, and his actions always leave no trace.

A cold light flashed in Long Man's eyes. "Her maid is not simple. She can identify the smell from a distance. Obviously, she is also an expert."

"Hmph, let's get rid of them all at once!" The two failures made the Princess of Nanyue extremely angry, and she wished she could kill Ye Yunzi.

……

Ah Liang reminded her solemnly, "Miss, you have to be careful. Someone who can avoid my attention is very important. Please be sure to bring Leng Xue with you when you go out next time."

Ye Yunzi nodded in agreement. She had originally thought that the Princess of Nanyue would be cautious in the palace, but she had never expected that she would dare to act so boldly and with such clever tactics.

Ye Yunzi could never figure out what deep hatred could have made the Princess of Nanyue kill her so cruelly.

Full of doubts, she came to the palace of Concubine Xian. Ye Yunzi asked the maid to inform her, but the maid shook her head in embarrassment and said, "The Concubine has caught a cold and is temporarily unable to see guests."

Just a few days ago, Empress Xian was in good health, so her sudden illness was suspicious.

Ye Yunzi frowned slightly, "So that's how it is, I didn't know that... Then please help me, Miss Gui, to give this amulet to Empress Xian. I hope she gets better soon."

The maid took the exquisite amulet and said worriedly, "Don't worry, Miss Ye, I will personally deliver it to the queen."

A breeze blew, carrying a rich floral scent across the palace.

Ye Yunzi frowned slightly after smelling it. This fragrance was too strong. It seemed that there was no such smell when she came to see Concubine Xian last time. Could it be a newly planted flower?

Aliang beside him couldn't help but sneeze a few times, "This smell is too strong."

"That's true." Ye Yunzi looked into the distance and said, "Such a strong fragrance is not good for patients. Please be more careful, Miss Gui."

"Oh, this is a newly planted crabapple tree, a variety unique to South Vietnam. The petals are as white as snow. Your Majesty likes it very much." The palace maid explained.

Thinking of the sachet that had inexplicably appeared on her body, Ye Yunzi felt a little uneasy about the gift given by the Princess of Nanyue.

"Is it true that the queen just has a cold?"

The maid's expression froze instantly, and after a moment's hesitation she replied, "Well, it's a cold."

Her voice gradually deepened, and it was clear that she was hiding something. A hint of nervousness appeared on her young face.

Ye Yunzi's doubts grew even stronger. Things didn't seem to be that simple.

"Miss, you should go back first. Empress Xian is not suitable to see guests now, so as not to infect you."

Since she couldn't force her way in, Ye Yunzi had to give up the idea for the time being.

"Okay." She turned around and prepared to leave. At this time, the fragrance of the flowers in the hall seemed to become stronger, almost suffocating.

The sky suddenly became gloomy and covered with dark clouds.

Looking up at the sky, my heavy mood was as depressing as the dark clouds above my head.

At this moment, thunder roared, lightning flashed across the sky, and heavy rain was about to pour down.

"Miss, let's go quickly. It looks like it's going to rain soon." Aliang urged anxiously.

Ye Yunzi was stunned for a moment, and a dream emerged in her memory: On a day with dark clouds and heavy rain approaching, Shen Yuming entered the palace to attend a funeral. It was the funeral of Empress Xian.

Empress Xian died young due to a long-term illness. The emperor was extremely sad and posthumously conferred the title of Imperial Concubine on her.
