Jiuli and Taoxiang began to get excited. "Wow, is this the Imperial City? How majestic! It must be very prosperous inside."

Yun Suyue spread her hands and lifted up the chin of a maid with one hand, "You have some ambition. Since you are here, I will let you have fun as much as you want."

"Great, thank you, Miss." The two little maids were very happy.

Mei Beiyao, like a considerate older brother next door, explained to Yun Suyue and the others, "Yes, the Imperial City is the most prosperous city in the Maple Forest Dynasty, but it also has many rules. Many powerful families live here, and every word and action must be carefully considered. It's not like Qingzhou City where you can do whatever you want."

"Okay, thank you, Young Master Mei, for the reminder. We servants understand and will never cause any trouble." Jiuli and Taoxiang responded obediently. They were already overwhelmed with the sight. This was their first time in the imperial city.

Mei Beiyao said to Yun Suyue, "Come with me back to the Mei Mansion, wash up, and go to the palace. The Holy Emperor and the Queen Mother are waiting for you."

"Okay, let's go." Yun Suyue followed Mei Beiyao and entered the special road for carriages and horses. When turning to another street, a gust of wind blew away the white gauze hat on Yun Suyue's head that was blocking the dust, revealing her peerless beauty that could captivate the whole country.

Helian Deng, who was standing above him, happened to see her. He immediately became aroused and his eyes followed Yun Suyue's back. He was completely lost in thought. "What a beautiful woman! This young master has never seen such a stunning beauty."

He is the youngest and most noble fifth young master of the Helian family. He is not only a noble royal relative, but also a famous playboy in the imperial city. He relies on his sister being the imperial concubine to act tyrannically in the imperial city.

Helian Deng caught the gauze hat floating in the air and sniffed it, "Hmm, the dust carries the unique fragrance of a young girl. Her figure and face are very beautiful, so beautiful that this young master is intoxicated.

I'll give you a stick of incense to find out who she is from."

"Yes, Fifth Young Master." The capable servant beside him quickly did as he was told.

Just one stick of incense later, the servant returned to report, "Damn it, little one! I only found out that the woman entered the Mei Mansion, but I don't know her identity."

"Mei Mansion? Could it be the concubine that Mei Beiyao just took in? Trash, go check again." Helian Deng kicked the servant over.

"Yes." The two servants got up and ran away in fear.

The two young masters who were drinking with him tried to dissuade him, "Brother Helian, why are you so anxious? As long as she is in this imperial city, she can't escape. Sooner or later, she will be yours."

"Yes, where is the place for the beautiful lady Yan in your arms like this? She is the top performer of Zui Xiang Lou. Today, I am making an exception to receive you as a guest. Brother Helian, please don't let the beautiful lady Yan down."

Helian Deng lifted the chin of the beautiful Yan in his arms, lowered his head and kissed her, "Beautiful lady, do you have any objections?"

Concubine Yan quickly denied, "Fifth Young Master scared me, how could I dare to do that?"

"Hahaha, that's good enough, you can go now." Helian Deng pushed Yan Meiren away, his heart as eager as a cat's paw to get Yun Suyue.

If that beauty is Mei Beiyao's concubine, it would be difficult to do anything about it. I would have to put in a lot of thought, but it must not be the case.

Little did he know that from this moment on, the countdown to his life had begun.

At the same time, Yun Suyue, wearing a simple orange and blue color-blocked fairy dress, took a carriage to the palace. Mei Beiyao rode beside her on horseback, explaining the rules of entering the palace all the way.

Yun Suyue's mouth twitched when she heard this. As a modern person, she really didn't want to kneel, but this was a pure ancient imperial system after all, so she had no choice but to put herself in a difficult position.

The wine pears and peach fragrance on both sides were also washed clean. He pulled Yun Suyue's skirt with his hands, for fear that it would be wrinkled and unsightly and lose its decorum.

"Don't pull it off. Clothes are meant to be worn, so how can they not be wrinkled?" Yun Suyue pulled the hem of her skirt away from the two maids' hands, making her feel uncomfortable.

If the Holy Emperor is a heartless person who only cares about these empty things, then there is no need to pay tribute to him with the repeating crossbow.

Soon, they arrived at the gate of the palace. Jiuli and Taoxiang were not qualified to enter, so only Mei Beiyao accompanied Yun Suyue to meet the emperor.

In the Imperial Study, upon hearing that Yun Suyue had finally arrived, the Holy Emperor Si Mingyuan quickly ordered the palace attendants, "Go quickly and tell little Suyue not to get off the carriage and go directly to the Empress Dowager's bedroom. I will be there soon."

Come, have Lord Mei come to see me quickly."

The palace was very large, and the carriage took a while to reach the Empress Dowager's bedroom. A maid was already waiting at the door to greet us. "Welcome, Miss Yun! The Empress Dowager is waiting for you. Please come in."

"Oh, Miss Yun's dress is so beautiful."

As soon as Yun Suyue got off the carriage, she was helped out by two maids in a kind and polite manner. They held her hand all the way and praised her clothes as they led her into the bedroom.

This is different from the legend. When did the maids in the palace become so kind?

This is a place where people eat each other, and these maids are the executioners who help their masters eat people without leaving any bones, and the person she wants to see is the queen mother, the champion of palace fighting.

Although she had a close relationship with her mother, this old lady was the real champion of talent. If she made a mistake, she might be punished for being rude or something, but she had to come.

The Taihe Palace was very large and magnificent. The empress dowager was lying on a huge phoenix bed, with purple and gold gauze hanging around her. Yun Suyue could not see the empress dowager lying on it through the gauze, but she could immediately identify the strong medicinal smell in the palace.

I already had seven or eight guesses in my mind. I was afraid that this old man had serious stomach problems and high blood pressure. He must be greedy and loved to eat sweets, which caused the two diseases to relapse at the same time and become serious.

"Empress Dowager, Miss Yun has arrived." The nanny reported softly.

"I, Yun Suyue, pay my respects to Your Majesty..." Yun Suyue knelt down reluctantly.

He was immediately interrupted by a weak voice, "Little Su Yue is here, stop going through all that formality, come here quickly and let me see you."

Yun Suyue immediately stopped her legs before kneeling and rushed to the bed. What she saw was an elegant old lady in dark gold casual clothes. Her face was pale and her breathing was heavy. She had been ill for some time.

"Empress Dowager, I am Yun Suyue." Yun Suyue stepped forward politely, and her hands were immediately grabbed by the Empress Dowager.

"Xiao Su Yue, you are finally here. Mm, you are beautiful. You look like your mother, but even prettier than her. You have grown up so well.

You must have been tired and exhausted from the journey. It’s all because of my poor health that I made you run this long way, cough cough cough...”

"Empress Dowager, please don't be too excited. Miss Yun has already seen her. Drink some medicine to calm your nerves." The nanny hurriedly handed over the medicine.

The Queen Mother refused. "Don't worry about me. Hurry up and give little Su Yue the preserved fruits we just sent as tribute. She's too thin and needs to eat more."

The Queen Mother panted heavily while excitedly giving instructions to the maids, her eyes fixed on Yun Suyue's face. "Well, seeing you is like seeing your mother. It's been ten years since I last saw these two sisters. Is your mother okay?"
