Due to his own relationship, the Dingguo Houfu is now connected with the Rui Wangfu, and he can no longer do anything about it.
Chu Jinpeng and Shen Youxia still wanted to try their best to intervene, so that Chu Jinpeng could avoid getting involved in the struggle for the throne as much as possible.
But things always happened outside of Shen Youxia's plan.
"The princess, just now Ning Taifei from the palace sent someone to pass on a message, saying that tomorrow she invites you to enter the palace for a chat."
Because Zhu Yunyan's attitude towards Shen Youxia had undergone a huge change, the servants of Rui Wangfu no longer treated Shen Youxia with cold faces as before. At least in their behavior and manners, they were increasingly treating Shen Youxia as their master.
Shen Youxia hadn't paid much attention to the actions of those below her, and up until now, Rui Wangfu was just a transitional place for her, she felt that she would leave sooner or later.
"Miss, are you really going to see Empress Ning?" asked Dongzhi with a heavy heart after the servant left.
"As long as I am still the Crown Princess for a day, I have no way to refuse."
Shen Youxia was also helpless, as the people from Dingguo Houfu had been secretly investigating the assassination of Empress Ning, and evidence was gradually pointing to Empress Ning as the mastermind behind the incident.
So at this time she should be invited into the palace, Shen Youxia closed her eyes and knew that this must be a feast of Hongmen, but she had no way to escape, and could not hide.
"Why can't you refuse? Miss, couldn't you just say that your body isn't well and you can't enter the palace?"
People born on Chunjie are straightforward and don't think too much, they don't consider things thoroughly and often speak without thinking.
"Of course we can't escape now, if we could, King Rui would have blocked us long ago."
Although not fond of Zhu Yunyan, recently Zhu Yunyan's attitude towards Shen Youxia has been clear to everyone in Die Cuiyuan. Dongzhi no longer holds the same opinion about Zhu Yunyan as before. Only then did he take the initiative to clarify things for Chunfen and speak a good word for Zhu Yunyan.
"What's to be done then? Let's go back to Duke Guo's estate and have him speak with the Emperor."
Shen Youxia sighed, her maid was indeed naive.
"What would Grandpa say about this? Besides, it's all things that can be avoided at first but not on the 15th. Can Grandpa help me once, and also a second time, a third time?"
In the end, it's something that one has to face oneself. Although I've always wanted to protect Chunfen and let her maintain her innocent and simple personality.
However, at this time Shen Youxia was thinking that after she was reborn, did she protect Chunfen too much, so that she forgot about the danger and couldn't distinguish between the importance and urgency of things.
It seems that I need to re-plan and re-position the four major maids and train them again.
Because Shen Youxia had to enter the palace to see Empress Ning the next day, Zhu Yunyan specially came to Diecui Garden after dinner.
"What brings you here?"
Zhu Yunyan arrived when Shen Youxia was reading a book, which was "Chu Qin Local Gazetteer" that she had been reading for some days.
"Tomorrow you go to the palace, I'll let Mo Yi follow you." Zhu Yunyan glanced at the book placed by Shen Youxia on her side and said without a trace.
"Alright, with Mo Yi's martial arts skills being so good, I won't worry with him following me."
Although his own Winter Solstice and Dark Guards could protect him well, Shen Youxia didn't want to push them out in front of everyone too early. With Zhu Yunyan's Mo Yi blocking the way ahead, Shen Youxia was actually happy about it.
