The Crown Princess calculated with her fingers and the prince was terrified.

When Jiang Xianyue was sent back, Qin Yu came to her door in a fit of rage.

"Xian Yue, what exactly did Ru Yan do to offend you? She almost died from falling into the water twice, and now she is unconscious."

Jiang Yu's face was gloomy.

"You dare to commit violence even in the inner palace, Jiang Xianyue, you have a lot of nerve."

Jiang Xianyue remained calm and composed.

"If it weren't for Jiang Ruyan's mischief, I wouldn't have done this. Not only did she push me into the water, but she also framed me in public. If she doesn't suffer a bit, others might misunderstand me."

She looked at the two of them again.

"I'm not a saint, and I warned her she should behave herself!"

As she spoke, Jiang Xianyue glanced at the person on the bed.

It would have been better if she hadn't looked, because what she saw startled Jiang Xianyue. There was an unusual aura emanating from the bed, and Jiang Ruyan seemed to be shrouded in some kind of mist.

She has been back for several days now, and I haven't seen her before.

Jiang Xianyue thought for a moment and wanted to take a step towards the bed, but Qin Yu stopped her.

"What else do you want to do? You dare to bully my daughter! I'll make you pay with your life!"

Qin Yu protected Jiang Ruyan tightly, like a mother lion protecting her cubs.

Jiang Xianyue stopped going forward, because she wasn't that free.

This fog is strange, I don't know if it's good or bad. Perhaps it's because Jiang Ruyan's body was weak after falling into the water, so she came into contact with something she shouldn't have. Right now, there are matters concerning the Star Palace, so Jiang Xianyue has to go out.

……

On the most bustling street in the capital, inside the most famous Daoxianglou restaurant, Jiang Xianyue found a private room facing the street and sat there alone.

Then came the sound of the door being opened cautiously.

Eunuch Su, dressed in plain clothes, pushed open the door and entered, acting with utmost care.

"Miss Jiang!"

Knowing that Jiang Xian Yue could save his life, even if it was just for the sake of his current half-life, the old eunuch, who had always been upright, now bent over. His figure was still emaciated, but his tone was no longer as unpleasant as when they had met before.

Eunuch Su stepped forward.

"This is Su Yong's information. If you are going alone, just give this old servant's name."

If His Highness the Crown Prince were to go along as well, then…

After all, Eunuch Su was not one of the Crown Prince's men.

Jiang Xianyue picked up the booklet and glanced at it.

"Would Eunuch Su like a cup of tea?"

Eunuch Su quickly waved his hand.

"This old servant was out on an errand and happened to stop by. I hope I can help you, young lady. After all, if you are well, then I am well too!"

After saying this, Eunuch Su left, and the figure slowly walked out.

"I never expected Miss Jiang to be so resourceful. In just a few days in the capital, she has managed to make those around the Emperor bow down in submission. Miss Jiang, do you know how incredibly stubborn Eunuch Su is?"

"It's just a coincidence!"

Jiang Xianyue waved her hand, noticing that Shen Shijing's expression wasn't very good, and made room for Shen Shijing to sit down.

She herself seemed quite relaxed.

Speaking of her time at Wanggushan, her relationship with Shen Shijing... Although she was a ghost, she was used to a life of leisure and relaxation.

"Since Eunuch Su has given me the information, I might as well go to the Star Palace by myself and see who this Su Yong really is."

"Eunuch Su's hint is quite accurate; if His Highness the Crown Prince went personally, things might be different!"

Jiang Xianyue's voice was calm, as if nothing had happened.

Shen Shijing, however, began to have doubts.

"go by yourself?"

"Do you even know what the Star Palace is? Is it a place a mere woman like you can just wander around in!"

Jiang Xianyue subconsciously moved closer to Shen Shijing. She needed some strength, that was for sure. Her spiritual energy was recovering too slowly, and she had tried many methods, but none of them worked.

The best solution is to go back to your sect.

But Jiang Xianyue seems unable to leave right now.

Thinking about it, Jiang Xianyue felt annoyed.

"Doesn't Your Highness know that I have no ability?"

Jiang Xianyue's tone was indifferent.

Shen Shijing took a deep breath.

"Then, Your Highness, I await your good news."

……

Jiang Xian Yue was somewhat apprehensive about entering the Star Palace, but she had no better option and, after some hesitation, went in person.

The Star Palace was built in the best feng shui location in the capital. Its dark bricks and tiles, along with the pavilions and towers, made it look neither like a temple nor a place of worship. However, the aura of this place was enough to make people feel cold as soon as they entered.

Following Eunuch Su's instructions, Jiang Xianyue slipped inside with ease.

As for the mystical arts and techniques of the Xuanmen sect, she was not afraid at all. Entering the sect was just the beginning. As a little fairy of Wanggu Mountain, she could enter these places as if they were empty.

Inside the Star Palace, in the Star-Picking Tower, Su Yong was leisurely reading when someone suddenly knocked on his desk. He looked up somewhat impatiently.

"Where did this little girl come from? How dare she trespass into the Star Palace, a place of utmost importance!"

Looking at Jiang Xianyue, she seemed to be just a young girl. Since the Star Palace was always heavily guarded and no one dared to trespass, he relaxed his vigilance.

"Where did you come from, little girl? Trespassing into the Star Palace is a capital offense!"

Jiang Xianyue looked around and, finding no one else nearby, calmly said, "Lord Su, it was Eunuch Su from the palace who sent me. He has some questions for you!"

When Su Yong heard the name of Eunuch Su, his face turned ugly for a moment, but he still pretended to be nonchalant.

"What could possibly be wrong with him?"

Jiang Xianyue looked at Lord Su Yong and Eunuch Su in front of her. Although they were of different statuses, she could still find similar traces between their brows.

Now, that Eunuch Su is neither human nor ghost, so it's not easy to tell him apart, but the person in front of us is surrounded by black aura and is very bloodthirsty.

The Star Palace is a place to pray for the country, so how could there be such a person here?

Jiang Xianyue felt even more strongly that there was something fishy going on.

"I came here this time because Eunuch Su asked me to inquire about the tree planting by the late Empress at the Crown Prince's residence."

The tree recently fell, and a lot of things were dug out from under it. We need to know what those things are and whether they are harmful to His Highness the Crown Prince.

When Jiang Xianyue mentioned the Crown Prince's residence, Su Yong slammed his fist on the table and stood up abruptly.

"Who exactly are you? This old eunuch is too audacious to ask about this matter. I don't believe that old eunuch has such audacity."

And little girl, no matter how capable you are, even if you enter the Star Palace alone, you will not be able to return alive today.

Things you shouldn't know, it's best not to be curious about!

"Using curses to harm people, or even the Crown Prince, is it Lord Su who is risking his life, or is it this young girl who is risking hers?"

"I dare to come to this Star Palace, do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Jiang Xianyue remained calm.

"Unbelievable!"

Enraged, Su Yong unleashed a palm strike imbued with black energy, aiming to take Jiang Xian Yue's life.

Jiang Xianyue's eyes narrowed. She was not unprepared. In Jiang Xianyue's mind, this little skill was insignificant.

Jiang Xianyue dodged and took out a yellow talisman from her sleeve. Just as she was about to make a move, the powerful internal force behind her forced Su Yong back two steps.
