Su Jinyue held the milk puff in her mouth, the sweet taste melting in her mouth. She nodded and praised: "It's really delicious. Yuzhu's taste is right."

Princess Yuzhu smiled proudly, "Of course! This is Yuzhu's favorite food."

Just as the two were chatting and laughing, footsteps were heard outside the door.

A maid walked in briskly, bowed slightly, and whispered, "Miss Su, the eunuch accompanying His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came and said he had something important to discuss."

"Oh?" Su Jinyue turned and looked at Princess Yuzhu, as if asking for her opinion.

Yuzhu nodded and said, "Since he is the prince's man, let him in."

Soon, a eunuch was brought in.

The man bowed to Princess Yuzhu and said respectfully, "Your servant greets Her Royal Highness, Miss Su."

Su Jinyue nodded slightly. She knew that Murong Jun must have a reason for sending someone over here.

"Just tell me what you want to say." Su Jinyue said calmly.

The bastard then took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Su Jinyue, "His Highness asked me to give this letter to Miss Su. I hope Miss can take a look at it."

Su Jinyue took the envelope and opened it carefully.

Yuzhu was a little curious, "Sister Su, what is it?"

"Nothing, it's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to Western Xinjiang and asked me to take good care of Princess Yuzhu."

Princess Yuzhu curled her lips in disapproval, "Sister will of course take care of me. For such a small matter, do you still need to trouble the prince to write a letter to sister?"

Su Jinyue chuckled, "Of course His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cares about your affairs."

After saying this, the smile on Su Jinyue’s face faded.

The content of the letter was not like that, but Su Jinyue couldn't explain it too clearly to Princess Yuzhu.

Not long after the eunuch left, Su Jinyue played with Princess Yuzhu for a while, and then someone came from the Empress Dowager's palace.

"Miss Su, the Queen Mother invites you."

"Empress Dowager?" Su Jinyue was slightly surprised, but still nodded and said, "I'll be there right away."

After leaving Yuzhu Palace, the palace maid took Su Jinyue towards the Imperial Garden.

As we walked, the terrain became more and more remote.

But Su Jinyue seemed not to notice. She followed the palace maid for a while and suddenly said, "I don't think I've seen you before in the Empress Dowager's palace."

The maid didn't turn around, "Miss Su, I was just transferred to the Empress Dowager's place, so Miss Su didn't recognize me."

"Yeah?"

Su Jinyue stared and said, "But this is not the direction to the Queen Mother's Palace."

The palace maid's steps paused slightly, as if she had not expected Su Jinyue to expose her so directly.

The air around seemed to freeze for a moment, and only the sound of wind blowing through the treetops in the distance could be vaguely heard.

"Ms. Su, this way please."

The maid regained her composure, lowered her head slightly, and there was a subtle hint of danger in her tone.

"Since we're not going to the Queen Mother's place, I think we should just forget it."

"I am only following orders. Please don't make things difficult for me, Miss Su." The maid raised her head, with a hint of determination in her eyes.

Su Jinyue stared at the maid in front of her, but her tone remained calm: "Who sent you here? You might as well tell us so that we don't waste our time."

The palace maid tightly grasped the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, her eyes flickering, and finally she seemed to have made up her mind.

She knelt down suddenly and said to Su Jinyue, "Miss Su, our mistress sent me here. She wants to talk to you alone."

Su Jinyue thought that Xihe wanted to use force to take her there, but she didn't expect him to use this trick.

"When did Princess Xihe start using such methods?" Su Jinyue sneered, not hiding the sarcasm in her words at all.

The maid obviously didn't expect Su Jinyue to be so straightforward, so she could only lower her head and say, "The young lady has no ill intentions, she just wants to ask the young lady for a talk."

Su Jinyue pondered for a moment, then suddenly chuckled: "Well, I'll go with you."

Upon hearing this, the maid kowtowed immediately and said, "Thank you, Miss Su. Please follow me, Miss Su."

They were led to a remote pavilion, where no one was around. Only Princess Xihe was sitting there in gorgeous clothes, gently fiddling with the teacup in her hand, as if she had been waiting for a long time.

Su Jinyue bowed slightly: "Greetings, Princess Xihe."

Princess Xihe raised her eyes and smiled, her tone gentle, "Miss Su, I thought you wouldn't come, but I didn't expect you to come after all."

Su Jinyue calmly sat down opposite Princess Xihe, not avoiding her gaze: "Princess Xihe, why did you ask me to come here this time? I wonder what you want?"

"Using the name of the Queen Mother is a serious crime. Can Princess Xihe bear it?"

Princess Xihe's smile remained the same, but there was a hint of scrutiny in her eyes: "Miss Su, I have always admired you."

"After the Crown Prince left the palace, the harem will surely be in turmoil. In this situation, are you willing to stand on my side?"

Su Jinyue's brows wrinkled slightly. This Princess Xihe doesn't even pretend now?

"Princess, you are so kind to me, but I am just a powerless servant. I am afraid I am not qualified to be of any great use."

Princess Xihe put down the teacup and sighed softly: "Miss Su, you don't have to be so modest. I can see that you are not an ordinary person."

"My brother the king has been looking for you for a long time. You were able to escape. It's a great achievement of yours."

Su Jinyue looked at Princess Xihe and said, "Thank you Princess Xihe for your praise. Princess, are you admitting that people from your Western Frontier tried to kidnap the families of court officials?"

Princess Xihe did not speak, but poured a cup of tea for Su Jinyue. "How could it be? There are only you and me here. If Miss Su said this, would anyone believe it?"

"My brother and I are both very optimistic about Miss Su, but I am not as soft-hearted as my brother."

The implication of this statement was obvious, and Su Jinyue's eyes darkened.

Princess Xihe's eyes darkened slightly: "If I treat you sincerely, as long as you are willing, Wang Zhong and I can promise you a life of wealth and glory."

After hearing this so many times, Su Jinyue felt like her ears were getting calluses.

Su Jinyue remained calm: "I appreciate Princess Xihe's kindness, but I once said something to your brother."

"I don't think we are on the same path."

Princess Xihe's eyes turned cold, "Are you going to reject me?"

"I advise Miss Su to think about it carefully. This princess has never had much patience."

Princess Xihe's threat was not concealed. "Although I admire you, please don't let me use force against you."

After hearing this many times, Su Jinyue felt like laughing.

Su Jinyue only said: "Princess, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave now."

Princess Xihe narrowed her eyes, "You don't take me seriously?"

Su Jinyue stood up slowly, "I dare not, but I want to advise the princess that there is still hope if you turn back now."

After she finished speaking, she turned and left. Princess Xihe was so angry that she was shaking. The maids beside her quickly knelt down and said, "Princess Xihe, please calm down. Princess Xihe must take care of yourself."

Princess Xihe sneered, "I think my brother made a wrong move."
