A few days later, You Xuewu's face returned to normal, and she looked smug. At that moment, she was strolling in the Imperial Garden with the Empress.

You Xuewu wished she could shove her restored face into the faces of those who had mocked her behind her back. She wanted them to see for themselves how perfect and flawless her face was.

The Empress was utterly shocked as she looked at her daughter's face. She couldn't believe that a face so incurable by all the imperial physicians and pharmacists of the Youlan Kingdom could be cured in a single session by that little girl using some kind of "Restore My Beauty Fist" method. Should she say that the imperial physicians of the Youlan Kingdom were incompetent, or that the little girl was simply too amazing?

You Xuewu noticed her mother staring at her, and raised her hand to touch her face: "Mother, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with my face?"

The Empress shook her head: "No, it's precisely because it's not like that it's amazing. I never expected that little girl would actually heal your face."

You Xuewu snorted: "I said before that she was the one who made my face like that. She must have a way of doing it. Father didn't believe it at the time."

"Alright, now that your face is healed, just shut up and don't provoke them anymore. Next time, let's see who can save you."

The Empress made it clear from the outset that if a similar situation were to occur again, she, as the Empress of the country, would not lower herself to beg for help and would have to find a solution herself.

You Xuewu nodded in agreement. How could she possibly let something like this happen again? Wouldn't that be incredibly stupid of her?

The Empress was tired from walking, so she sat in the pavilion in the Imperial Garden. A maid poured her a cup of tea, and a nanny beside her gently massaged her shoulders.

The Empress took a sip of tea and sighed, "Alas, I don't know what's wrong with your brother, but he insists on going to the Azure Dragon Kingdom with Luo Yunya's wedding procession in a few days. What's so great about the Azure Dragon Kingdom that he has to insist on going to your father's side? It's such a long and arduous journey; what if something happens to him?"

You Xuewu exclaimed in surprise, "My imperial brother is going to the Azure Dragon Kingdom?"

The Queen was startled by her voice: "Why are you shouting like that? Where is your princess demeanor!"

You Xuewu quickly ran over and pleaded, "Mother, I'm so sorry, I was just too shocked. Mother, why did my brother go to the Azure Dragon Kingdom?"

The Empress glanced at her and said, "How would I know? What your brother said about going to learn about the customs and culture of the Azure Dragon Kingdom? What's the use of learning these things? He won't be living in the Azure Dragon Kingdom in the future. Really."

You Xuewu listened to her mother's words and fell into deep thought. Why did her brother want to go to the Azure Dragon Kingdom? She didn't believe he was going to learn about its customs and culture! If her brother could go, she could ask her father if she could go with him.

Staying in the palace is too boring, and I'm under constant control. It's better to go to the Azure Dragon Kingdom with my brother. Anyway, with her status, she'll be well-connected in the Azure Dragon Kingdom's palace.

We should ask the Emperor the real reason first, so we can make preparations in advance.

"Mother, you rest first. I'm going to find my brother; I have something to discuss."

After You Xuewu finished speaking, she ran away. The Empress sighed as she watched her departing figure.

"This girl has studied etiquette for so many years, but she hasn't learned a single thing."

The nanny massaging her shoulders whispered, "Your Majesty, the princess is still young, and is at an age where she is lively and active. It's only because Your Majesty is here that Her Highness is so innocent and carefree."

"Hmph, I think she's just been messed up by her last trip. Ever since she came back, Wu'er's personality has changed. If I weren't sure she was my daughter, I would think she was a completely different person."

The nanny replied cautiously, "The princess has grown up under the Empress's care since childhood and has never been away from her for so long. She must have been influenced by the outside world, which has caused this change in her personality. But Your Majesty, rest assured, it's good for the princess to see more of the world. That way, when she gets tired of the outside world, she will still feel that it's best to be by Your Majesty's side."

The Empress turned to look at the old nanny: "You always spoil her the most, always taking her side. This girl is so unruly, it's all because of you spoiling her."

"How could that be, Your Highness? The Princess is extremely filial to you. And whenever she has time, she comes back to visit Her Majesty the Empress, doesn't she?"

The Empress didn't refute the nanny's words. In previous years, she had only focused on vying for the Emperor's favor and consolidating her position in the harem, thus neglecting her two children. Now that the children were grown, she wanted to spend time with them, but they wanted it and no longer really needed it. Although Wu'er spent time with her whenever she could, she knew that Wu'er's heart wasn't with her.

Oh well, there's plenty of time in the future, let's take it slow. She believed everything would be alright.

"Let's go back to the palace."

The old nanny helped the Empress to her feet: "Yes, Your Majesty."

The figures of several people slowly disappeared into the Imperial Garden.
