[Can I add locations without going there?]

In the past, they could have traveled there at breakneck speed.

But her body simply couldn't withstand the strain. She was walking slowly, and although she wanted to walk faster, her body wouldn't allow it.

[Given the special circumstances, two taels of silver can be used to arrange for someone to help with the setup.]

"500,000?" Han Luoxue's lips twitched violently. Her system really dared to ask for that much.

Do you know how long it would normally take to earn 500,000?

However, considering the baby in her womb, Han Luoxue felt that the money was still worth spending.

She discussed it with Han Yuchen, and Han Yuchen agreed.

The old general and the others had no objections, but the people going there needed to be carefully selected. They had to be reliable and one of their own.

"Let your second uncle's son, Qiang, go over there."

After thinking for a moment, the old lady analyzed, "He likes to have fun, and no one will think much of it if he leaves the capital."

Not all of the old general's children joined the army. He knew that prosperity inevitably leads to decline, and that choosing one person from each generation was enough.

"I have no objection."

Han Luoxue is easy to talk to.

"Madam, Miss Biao has sent word to us."

Suddenly, Zhou Jie's maid came to deliver a message, and everyone in the room was stunned for a moment.

"It was the Crown Princess who invited the young ladies from various families to the Crown Prince's residence to admire the flowers, and she even specially invited our young lady."

"Miss is a little unsure, so she asked me to come and ask."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room fell silent for a moment.

"What's going on with this Crown Princess? She came to report something, and then she's hosting a banquet? Should we just refuse her?"

Han Luoxue instinctively felt that Yan Wuhao was not a good person, and since they weren't particularly close, it was normal for him to refuse.

"Xue is right, let your young lady refuse."

"But she would fill out the guest list herself. She only filled out two copies."

The old lady had a very bad feeling: "Where was the other one handed over?"

"It's the Second Miss."

Before Han Luoxue could understand, the old lady's expression changed: "Heh, how could she have the nerve to send an invitation to Xiuer?"

The second young lady is already married, and her child is less than a year old. Under normal circumstances, she would not attend such banquets.

The fact that they would specifically invite people from the Wu family makes me think something's not right.

"Moreover, she has already publicized this matter extensively. If we refuse rashly, people outside will probably gossip."

This Mengyao is really a ruthless character. The old lady closed her eyes and took a deep breath: "Alright, have your young lady come over in a bit."

She wanted to give her some instructions in person.

"Should I go with them?" Judging from the situation, this is a trap.

"No need, your health is more important."

Han Luoxue's current status is merely that of a distant relative of the old lady. Going out as a cousin would definitely be inappropriate; she'd probably be too easily mistreated.

It would be even more inappropriate to make her a maid. The child in Han Luoxue's belly is of utmost importance.

That evening, Zhou Jie and Wu Lingxiu both came over. After some discussion, all they wanted to know was news about Han Yuchen.

Under normal circumstances, there would be no problem, but the Crown Prince's residence might use underhanded methods.

"Is this Crown Princess out of her mind? I haven't contacted her in so long. I only contacted her before because of..."

"Cough cough..."

The old lady coughed, and Wu Lingxiu stopped talking.

"What underhanded methods do you think she might use?"

Even if the Crown Prince wanted to control everything, he couldn't possibly detain them without a reason, could he?

"I'm not sure about that either, let's wait and see."

"If we don't plan to associate with the Crown Prince's residence in the future, I think it's better to just decline."

"It's not right not to go without a reason, but what if you're unwell?"

As she spoke, Han Luoxue noticed that the system shop had added a new medicine: a basic disfigurement pill, priced at ten points.

The price wasn't high. Han Ruoxue clicked on the introduction and found that although the price was low, the effect was indeed excellent.

Han Luoxue took out the two basic disfigurement pills she had redeemed from the system and explained with a smile.

"After use, the skin is covered with rashes, but it is neither painful nor itchy. The effect lasts for three days. The complete recovery period is seven days, and there are no side effects on the skin."

This was practically tailor-made for the two of them. Han Ruoxue was stunned.

Sometimes I feel like the system shop is really smart. It always seems to show up when she needs it most, except for the recovery pills.

However, this also indirectly illustrates the preciousness of the Restoration Pill.

That's true. Can an ordinary person really cure a leg that was already lame?

"Oh no, this stuff will ruin your face if you eat it?"

Wu Lingxiu stared wide-eyed in disbelief. How could there be such a miraculous thing in the world? And Han Luoxue actually said that its effects would last for three days, after which she would gradually recover. And it had no side effects whatsoever.

Why is she so disbelieving?

Wu Lingxiu held the pill, looking at it from left to right, up to down, but still couldn't see anything special about it.

Zhou Jie, on the other hand, only glanced at it briefly before popping it into her mouth like a candy, crunching it down with a loud crack, muttering, "This thing doesn't taste like anything, it's not even as good as a candy."

Han Luoxue: This guy is really reckless. Doesn't he fear that he might harm her? If this were really poison, she would die instantly from the first bite.

"Zhou Jie, you?" Wu Lingxiu was also stunned. Did she really have to trust him so much?

"Don't worry, Xue'er wouldn't lie to anyone, would she?"

It was precisely because she had witnessed so many extraordinary things about Han Luoxue that she felt more at ease with her.

Seeing that Wu Lingxiu was still hesitating, Zhou Jie slapped her hand without warning, and the pill in her hand fell into Wu Lingxiu's slightly open mouth with a startled "Ah!"

"Ah, I..."

Wu Lingxiu was startled. She hadn't even figured out how to use the pill yet, so how could she have swallowed it?

She reached out to spit out the pill, but it had already dissolved in her mouth, and she couldn't spit anything out.

"You, Zhou Jie, you..."

Wu Lingxiu was so angry she wanted to throw something. She raised her hand, but Zhou Jie had already run away.

"Oh dear, you don't know that Xue'er's things are all good stuff, so don't worry. Do you really want to go to the Crown Princess's banquet? I can tell with my toes that it's like a weasel paying respects to a chicken—it's all ill-intentioned."

"You're the chicken!" Wu Lingxiu was amused by Sister Zhou's comparison of her to a chicken.

"I... I was just saying it casually, why are you taking it so seriously!"

"You know she's never up to anything by inviting us over. If we actually fall for her tricks, that would be a real problem."

Don't let Zhou Jie's seemingly carefree attitude fool you; she's actually quite clever. When it comes to serious matters, her mind works incredibly fast.
