Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Miss Zhao hesitated for a moment but still took the money.
The mother and daughter knocked out a palace maid resembling Miss Zhao. Miss Zhao quickly changed into the palace maid’s clothes and ran toward another palace.
When Madam Zhao returned, she saw two nannies in a hurry from afar.
She panicked and immediately quickened her pace, but she was quickly stopped by a young eunuch, who handed her over to two nannies.
One of the older nannies asked directly, “Where’s Miss Zhao?”
“She went to relieve herself.” Madam Zhao replied expressionlessly.
“Liar.” After the old nanny finished speaking, she pushed her toward the young nanny and said, “Take her away and lock her up.”
The young nanny nodded and took out a dagger. While holding onto Madam Zhao, she pressed against her lower back with the dagger.
Meanwhile, the elderly nanny brought the young eunuch and a few palace maids to look for Miss Zhao.
When they found the clothes Miss Zhao had left behind and the fainted palace maid, the others continued searching while the young eunuch hurriedly ran to the Empress.

Zhou Ying was a little confused when she saw this. What did Madam Zhao know that could make the Empress so wary of her?
And that Miss Zhao—was she really meant to be a palace maid? Zhou Ying refused to believe it.
Thinking of this, she began to scan Madam Zhao. She must have evidence of something since she wanted to report to the Emperor. Otherwise, how else would she plead for help?
Sure enough, there was a small pocket sewn on the inside of Madam Zhao’s undergarment. There was a folded piece of paper inside.
She immediately stored it in her interspace. Otherwise, it would definitely be destroyed if it were discovered.
Zhou Ying took the opportunity to go to the toilet and entered her interspace. She quickly browsed through the evidence that Madam Zhao had written.
She did not expect that this was evidence of Lord Zhao helping the First Prince with various corruptions and crimes.
One of the things that shocked her the most was killing officials with exemplary political achievements and then replacing them with someone else, just like Lord Sun.
Lord Zhao’s residence was basically filled with the First Prince’s people.
No wonder the servants of the Zhao residence dared to be so arrogant.
There were also some cases of corruption and seizing the property of those who refused to collaborate.
This was simply appalling.
No, she couldn’t let Madam Zhao die. Otherwise, it would be challenging to prove many of their crimes.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ying immediately left the room and found Madam Zhao through her divine sense. She was imprisoned in a storeroom, which was filled with porcelain ornaments.
Knowing Madam Zhao was not in danger for the time being, Zhou Ying went to look for Miss Zhao.
Miss Zhao got lucky. She found a set of clothes that looked old and torn. After wearing it, she seemed to have aged by more than ten years.
Miss Zhao was now heading into a tunnel. As for where it led to, Zhou Ying couldn’t tell as it was dark and long inside.
However, it was enough to know that she was fine.
As Zhou Ying walked back, she looked at the Emperor. He was currently with Gu Chengrui, emphasizing how to spread the new farming methods to the officials outside quickly.
While the Emperor was drinking tea, Zhou Ying used the voice of Mother God to send a message to him.
The Emperor was stunned. When he remembered the two times Mother God had entered his dream, his hands couldn’t help but tremble, and he almost spilled the tea in his hands.
He got up and said, “You guys continue discussing. I’ll be back soon.”
After saying that, he called Eunuch Li to the side hall and asked him to guard the entrance.
The Emperor knelt and whispered, “Mother God, what advice do you have?”
Zhou Ying didn’t reply. Instead, she just sent the piece of paper over through her interspace.
The Emperor saw the paper heart floating in his hand and opened it to read.
The more he read, the more ashen his face became. In the end, he angrily punched the ground..
