Yu Niaoniao held her forehead, looking very uncomfortable.

"I thank Her Highness for her kindness, but I haven't been feeling well for the past two days and have been dizzy. The doctor asked me to rest at home. I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the palace to admire the flowers and drink tea with Her Highness."

The young eunuch looked troubled. "I'm afraid that's not good. This time, not only did Her Highness invite the princess consorts of the capital, but she also invited the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager is very interested in this flower appreciation. If you're absent, I'm afraid you'll spoil the Empress Dowager's mood. At that time, none of us can bear the blame."

Yu Niaoniao did not believe that Empress Dowager Deng would be angry without her.

Noble Consort Shu must have expected her to refuse and deliberately asked the young eunuch to use the title of Empress Dowager to suppress her. She could reject Noble Consort Shu, but she had to give the Empress Dowager respect.

Yu Niaoniao let out a long sigh and said helplessly.

"Since you insist on me going, I'll go. However, let me say this first. If I fall sick halfway, don't blame me for disturbing everyone's mood in admiring the flowers."

The young eunuch hurriedly said, "Of course not. There are so many imperial physicians in the palace. If you're sick, there will be many imperial physicians to treat you. I guarantee that you'll come back healthy."

Knowing that Yu Niaoniao was going to the palace tomorrow, Granny Xiu Yan and Meng Xizhou were quite worried.

Since there were no outsiders in the room, Meng Xizhou had no qualms about speaking.

"That Noble Consort Shu must be up to no good!"

Yu Niaoniao threw up her hands. "I know that too, but she's already brought up the Empress Dowager. I can't refuse."

Meng Xizhou said, "I'll accompany you to the palace tomorrow. I'll protect you."

Granny Xiu Yan was worried. "There are many rules in the palace. As long as Noble Consort Shu makes a small plan, she can send you away. At that time, the princess consort will be alone and will find it difficult to protect herself."

Looking at their worried expressions, Yu Niaoniao smiled and comforted them.

"Don't put on a bitter face. Since Noble Consort Shu dared to invite me into the palace openly, she won't do anything to me in the palace.

Otherwise, if anything happens to me, the entire world will know that she did it. Is she that stupid?"

When Meng Xizhou and Granny Xiu Yan heard her words, they felt that they made sense and were slightly relieved.

Although Yu Niaoniao said that, she was actually not optimistic.

Noble Consort Shu had plotted against her before. As the saying went, with the first, there would be a second time. The possibility of it happening again was very high. Even if the emperor would pursue it later, it would only be to make up for things that had happened. It would not be of much use.

In order to ensure her safety, Yu Niaoniao decided to put on the crossbow that Xiao Juan had specially made for her. In addition, she specially asked Lo Pingsha for some powder.

This powder was very stimulating. As long as it touched the skin directly, it would make one itch. If it touched the eyes, it might even make them blind.
