“I told you Mu Yao was sick,” Madam Su said. You can’t force someone to go to the palace if she’s sick.
“Mother, everyone knows that the second young lady of the Su family got engaged today, and then fell ill right after the engagement. What a coincidence! It’s alright, I’ll come to pick up Mu Yao tomorrow.” Su Ruojin comforted her with a smile, “She wouldn’t dare to do anything in the palace.”
When things in this world happen too often by coincidence, it becomes a little strange.
For example, today Mu Yao just got engaged, and Yao Lan's invitation arrived. This is because she calculated that Yao Lan would be worried about Mu Yao and would definitely go to the palace.
Yaolan, what exactly do you want to do?
If it's really just about appreciating chrysanthemums, that's fine, otherwise...
Yao Lan probably doesn't know that Aya has put a curse on her.
Aya didn't use any special kind of Gu; with Su Ruojin's current abilities, she could easily control it.
We'll see who wins and who loses then!

Inside the palace.
The old woman who delivered the invitation to the Su residence has returned to Yaohua Palace.
"Your Majesty, the invitations have been delivered to the Princess and Miss Su," the nanny reported.
"How are the banquet preparations going?" Yao Lan asked.
"It's all ready, Your Majesty."
"Alright, go down and check again carefully. Don't let anything go wrong tomorrow! Otherwise, I'll take your dog lives." Yao Lan waved her hand.
"Yes, Your Highness." The nanny bowed and withdrew.
Yao Lan gently stroked the golden armor set, her gaze icy.
Su Ruojin, don't blame me. This time it's not me, but your brother who wants your life.
A few days ago, Yao Lan received a secret letter from the King of Bei Li, instructing her to do everything in her power to kill Su Ruojin.
Yao Lan had no idea how Su Ruojin had offended her brother, the Emperor.
Perhaps it was Lin Wanqing whispering in the emperor's ear?
Yao Lan naturally knew that Lin Wanqing was now her sister-in-law, and she also knew about some of Lin Wanqing's past with Su Ruojin.
Therefore, it is understandable that Lin Wanqing wanted to kill Su Ruojin.
Moreover, she had always wanted to get rid of Su Ruojin, this thorn in her side, but recently, let alone kill Su Ruojin, she couldn't even see Su Ruojin's face.
This time, the Emperor gave a strict order, and Yaolan dared not disobey, which is why she arranged this chrysanthemum appreciation banquet.
This time, her brother not only sent her a secret letter, but also many good things. Let Su Ruojin use them all tomorrow.
Having learned from her previous experience, Yao Lan dared not let her guard down against Su Ruojin again.
They even timed the invitation perfectly, forcing her to come.
Appreciating chrysanthemums?
Haha, don't the people of the Great Chu like to use chrysanthemums to commemorate the dead?
Su Ruojin, let these precious chrysanthemums from the palace be sent on your way tomorrow; it would be fitting for your status as the Regent's Consort.

The next day, Su Ruojin picked up Su Muyao, and they rode together in a carriage to the palace.
While other young ladies from noble families were queuing outside the palace gates, Su Ruojin was riding in the Regent's carriage. The palace servants knew that the Regent's Consort had arrived, so even though they tried to stop her, they let her in directly.
Once inside the palace, the carriage could no longer proceed.
However, the Regent's wife was pregnant, and everyone in the palace knew this, so it was impossible for her to walk to Yaohua Palace.
Thus, Consort Chun had already sent a sedan chair to wait and escort Su Ruojin to Yaohua Palace.
Su Ruojin glanced at the sedan chair but did not get in.
Standing beside the sedan chair, Granny Chen grew anxious and stepped forward to bow, saying, "Please, Your Highness, get into the sedan chair. Consort Chun has already prepared tea and refreshments in the palace to await Your Highness."
"Granny, don't worry," Yanluo said.
Just then, a few people walked over from not far away.
