Chapter 599 Invitation from the Palace
The sky cleared up and news in the Holy Capital spread quickly.

Soon the whole city was buzzing with what He Lianlin said at the Duke's Mansion that day, which overshadowed the news that Mrs. Lu wanted to bring together Duke Yuwen and Miss Shen.

The name Shen Nannan was almost the first time everyone heard it, and it was anything but ordinary. It always made people shocked one after another. It was inevitable that she would become the center of the storm again.

A plum blossom appreciation banquet was held in the palace, and Concubine Hui's post was sent to the Bai family and Su Youyue's hands.

"Miss..." Jin'er was a little worried, "Why would someone in Dongrong Palace suddenly invite you?"

Su Youyue casually threw the invitation that many people regarded as an honor aside, warmed the ointment in her hands, and applied it to her.

"Dongrong has no queen. The higher up the concubine is, the emperor. This post is not from Concubine Hui, but from Emperor Dongrong."

Jin'er's eyes widened even more: "Emperor Dongrong! He, what did he ask the lady to do?"

Su Youyue did not answer immediately. She calmed down Jin'er's impatience and said slowly: "People in the Holy City love to talk about me so much. The emperor is also a human being and will be curious."

In fact, the most important thing is probably because of Xie Yuan's words.

But even if Xie Yuan didn't say anything that day, with her never restrained style and Prince Bei's care, it was only a matter of time before she met Emperor Dongrong.

"Then what should we do..." Jin'er was worried, "What if he asks random questions or becomes suspicious..."

After all, Jin'er had a guilty conscience and was afraid of showing her flaws.

Su Youyue gave her the good medicine and tapped her forehead: "Okay, Emperor Dongrong is not a monster. He can't eat your lady alive. Just wait for me to come back and I will let Zhejing stay. To accompany you."

"Miss." Jin'er pouted. Ever since she and Zhejing confirmed their feelings, the lady had been teasing herself from time to time, which made her blush.

Su Youyue teased her for a while, took the post and left the room. When she saw the secret guard standing outside the room, her smile subsided.

Just a look and the message was delivered.

Su Youyue followed the secret guard to another room, where Zheying was already waiting.

There are several herbs on the table, dried and powdered on one side, and still growing in pots on the other.

"Madam, Duanqingcao, Liyuanhua, Northern Blueberry, and Tiangu Seed have all been found! The first three of these four herbs are Dongrong's precious herbs. Although they are rare, they can be found. Only Tiangu Seed is the only one. , it is not recorded in Dongrong’s medical books, but my subordinates tracked the location of Tiangu after tracking the divine envoys sent by the Holy Cult, and obtained this medicine. However, Tiangu is one of the Holy Cult strongholds and is extremely tightly guarded, making it difficult to enter and exit."

Su Youyue felt much lighter when she heard that the four medicinal materials had been found. However, she became slightly suspicious when she heard from behind: "The stronghold of the Holy Cult?"

The secret guard nodded: "This is the Holy Religion's stronghold that has not been disclosed to the outside world. I have seen the pope and many priests come and go with my own eyes."

Su Youyue's heart moved and she immediately realized that there might be a huge secret of the Holy Religion hidden in the Heavenly Valley. Could it be that the antidote to the Holy Medicine is also among them?
Zheying obviously realized this and looked at her: "Madam, do you want me to send more people to investigate?"

Su Youyue nodded: "If we can find the antidote to the holy medicine, we can take Xie Yuan back to Dasheng... This is the best, but you must pay attention to safety. In this mission, your own life comes first."

She knew that these secret guards would risk their lives for Xie Yuan, so she gave such instructions.

She didn't want anyone to die in vain before it was the last resort. Zheying looked at her, vaguely flashing through his mind what his master told him when he left the Xie Mansion to assassinate King Rong.

His eyes moved slightly for a moment, then the young man came back to his senses: "Yes, madam!"

Looking at the four medicinal materials on the table, Su Youyue's eyes grew cold.

What a holy medicine that kills people, a holy religion that eats people without spitting out their bones, a ruthless and cold-blooded Dongrong royal family!
Even if she detoxifies Xie Yuan, she will never let go of anyone who has hurt Xie Yuan!

The weather continued to clear up.

Great winter scenery, the fragrance of plum blossoms is quiet.

Dongrong Palace inherits Dongrong's consistent extravagant style, with continuous splendid palaces and cascading glazed tiles, just like a palace in the sky.

Outside Qian'an Gate, a pair of golden lion statues stand on both sides. The male lion is majestic and fierce, and the female lion is exquisite. The two lions each carry the emblem of the Dongrong Holy Sect on their backs, which are also carved from gold. Entering Qian'an Gate, passing by three consecutive halls, looking from a distance, you can vaguely see the legendary more than 1,400 open-carved railings and the tip of the iceberg of more than 1,100 drainage faucets on the white marble hall foundation.

The entire image of the Holy Cult can be said to be pervasive in the Dongrong Palace. The carved beams and painted buildings are of the ten-armed Holy God and the paintings are of the legends of the Holy Cult. When Su Youyue looked around, she could see that it had an exotic style that was different from Dasheng.

Even the plum garden is gorgeously decorated. Along the way, it is paved with light blue jade slabs, plum blossom lanterns are installed on both sides of the road, and the red plum trees are covered with silver tassels.

Su Youyue had just followed the palace servants into the plum garden when her young father-in-law came up to her: "May I ask who she is, Miss Shen from the Bai family?"

Nowadays, there are two Miss Shen who can be called by their names in the Holy Capital, but no one has ever called Su Youyue that way before. Presumably she was afraid of admitting the wrong person. Su Youyue found it interesting and nodded: "Exactly."

The young father-in-law immediately smiled: "This servant is Eunuch Ming's godson Xiao Shunzi, Miss Shen. Eunuch Ming has to serve the emperor today and cannot take care of Miss Shen. If anything happens to Miss Shen, you can come to this servant."

Su Youyue naturally thanked her. Seeing Xiao Shunzi's attitude, she also figured out Eunuch Ming's attitude.

Eunuch Ming was the eunuch next to Emperor Dongrong, and his status was not low in ordinary times. Even though he had a relationship with him once before and had promised to take care of her, the two parties had never been in contact with each other these days, which shows that the other party did not He didn't take her, a little girl with little power, into consideration.

Now that he came out to take care of her, he must have some interests in mind.

It seems that Emperor Dongrong did not have any malicious intent in asking her to come, otherwise Eunuch Ming would not have had such a warm attitude.

Xiao Shunzi took the palace servant's place, brought Su Youyue to the seat, and then said with a flattering smile: "If Miss Shen has any other instructions, please look for the slave at any time. I will always be here at the seat."

After Su Youyue responded, he withdrew first.

The originally quiet Plum Garden was already bustling with people. Since it was still some time before leaving, not many people sat down.

Su Youyue's seat was not at the back, but very far forward. After looking at it for a while, she was about to sit down when a voice came from behind her.

"Shen Nannan, who asked you to sit here?"
