Chương 204: Nanli's Arrogance Lasted Too Long

Empress Xie saw Qiao Yu's refusal and thought she was just being shy. With a gentle smile, she said, "A'Li rarely gives talismans to people. Come on, don't be afraid."

With her words, Qiao Yu felt even more reluctant to refuse. She hesitated but eventually moved forward slowly to accept the talisman from Nanli's hand. Her hands were trembling, and even her voice was shaky as she said, "Thank you, the Ninth Princess."

After receiving the talisman, she felt nothing unusual about her body, and she let out a sigh of relief.

However, Nanli's smile grew even deeper, and her eyes revealed a chilling coldness. She didn't respond to Qiao Yu and simply turned away, leaving Qiao Yu with a bad premonition.

But to her surprise, Nanli didn't act on it, leaving her unsure if Nanli had sensed something or not.

Throughout the banquet, she felt restless and anxious.
