However, she didn’t see it as a bad thing, so she didn’t restrict her. Instead, she took her hand and said, “Let’s go, let’s go meet the empress.”

“Okay!”

Su Miaoyan responded crisply. Before leaving, she couldn’t resist turning back to steal a glance at Xiao Yu, giving him a sweet smile.

As the autumn wind brushed over Xiao Yu’s shoulders, he felt that the scene before him was not as bleak as before.

“Young Master, shall we go in?” Xiao Si asked, noticing Xiao Yu’s silence.

Xiao Yu grunted in agreement before cautiously pushing his wheelchair forward.

Although Xiao Yu’s body was weak, making it difficult for him to walk normally and requiring him to use a wheelchair, after leading the Xiao family for so many years, no one dared to disobey his orders due to his frailty.

In the main hall of Fengzao Palace, Su Yingxue escorted Su Miaoyan to greet the empress.

The empress gestured for her to take a seat.

Glancing around, Su Yingxue recognized familiar faces in the hall. Noble Consort Xiao sat beside the empress, Chu Chengye sat opposite, and Xiao Yu, who had just arrived, was seated beside her.

Su Yingxue stole a glance at the empress, pondering silently, “What schemes does this empress have in mind?”

“Su Yingxue, I heard that you were planning to visit Noble Consort Xiao. Coincidentally, Noble Consort Xiao’s family is in Jiang Du City as well, so I invited you all to the palace for entertainment. You don’t think 1 was being rude, do you?” The empress sat gracefully, speaking with a smile.

Su Yingxue returned the smile. “Of course not, Your Majesty. Your generosity is deeply appreciated.”

Internally, she couldn’t help but wonder about the depths of the empress’s schemes.

After exchanging pleasantries with Xiao Yu, the empress assigned Chu Chengye to attend to him.

Chu Chengye came to toast Xiao Yu, who raised his teacup and said, “I’m feeling unwell, Your Highness, so I’ll stick with tea instead of wine. Please don’t take offense.”

Chu Chengye personally poured wine into Xiao Yu’s cup. “Young Master Xiao, this is the palace’s imperial brew. Even though the Xiao family is the wealthiest in the world, without a reward, it’s rare to taste it. Young Master Xiao, you should try it.”

Xiao Yu didn’t lift the cup, he refrained from drinking.

Noble Consort Xiao’s voice echoed from above, “Seventh Prince, thank you for your concern. Our Yu’er has been fragile since childhood. It’s rare for him to come to Jiang Du City for treatment. If you don’t wish him ill, please refrain from troubling him.”

Hearing Noble Consort Xiao’s words, Su Miaoyan leaned against Su Yingxue, whispering, “Sister, Noble Consort sure dares to speak her mind.”

Even she understood that the Seventh Prince was a prominent candidate for the Crown Prince and the empress’s legitimate son. Ordinary ladies in the harem wouldn’t dare offend him easily, but Noble Consort Xiao blatantly implied ill intentions.

“How impressive!” Su Yingxue praised, rubbing Miaoyan’s head. “That’s the confidence her family gives her. The Xiao family may be the wealthiest, but Noble Consort still rules the harem.”

Leaning against Su Yingxue, Miaoyan whispered, “Noble Consort’s confidence comes from her family, but yours is self-made, Sister!”

Miaoyan blinked, admiring both of them.

Su Yingxue gave her a thumbs-up. “That’s high comprehension!”

However, the people around them were less pleasant. Chu Chengye persisted in urging Xiao Yu to drink, despite his clear reluctance. Considering Xiao Yu’s condition, Su Yingxue spoke up, “Seventh Prince, as Noble Consort already mentioned, Young Master Xiao isn’t feeling well. Can you not hear properly?”

Su Yingxue’s words were decidedly impolite!
