At the same time, Zhou Ying also spread out her divine sense to look into the palace.
Gu Waanning was fine when she checked in the morning. What happened less than four hours later?
She was shocked when she saw it.
Gu Wanning’s face was pale, and she was lying on the bed with a tired expression.
Was she sick?
She carried the things she had prepared and followed Eunuch Sun into the palace.
After entering the palace, she handed the things to Chunxi and entered the room, approaching Gu Wanning. After bowing, she went forward and asked, “Are you not feeling well? Why do you look so pale?”
“It’s nothing. It’s just that my baby disturbed me. I just need to take some calming medicine. I remember that my cousin knows how to make a kind of calming pill.” Gu Wanning then asked, “I wonder if you have any?”
“Eunuch Sun, sigh. I would have brought it to you directly if you had said so earlier.”
“I didn’t allow him to say it. There are many old and young people in the palace. I can’t collapse.”
“Did you see the imperial physician?”
“Yes, Imperial Physician Liu gave some to me. He also prescribed some medicine to soothe me, but I didn’t want anyone to know, so I couldn’t brew the medicine.”
“You are too cautious.”
“No, the people in the palace have recently been a little unstable. I don’t dare risk the child.”
“What do you mean?” Zhou Ying asked in surprise.
Although she wasn’t as diligent as she was initially, she checked at least three times a day.
But she had never found any problems.
After Gu Wanning finished speaking, she handed her an account book.
Zhou Ying opened it and took a look. It was full of the list of goods the palace had purchased.
However, there was no problem with the quantity or the price. She looked at her in confusion.
“Don’t look at the price and quantity; look at the consumption.”
Zhou Ying looked at it carefully again, especially comparing the head and the tail.
She realized that the consumption after the Emperor left was similar to the consumption before the Emperor left.
However, not only did the Emperor leave, but he also took Eunuch Qian and his guards with him, so that should reduce consumption.
“Are all items like this?”
Gu Wanning shook her head. “No, it’s normal at the silk embroidery workshop.”
If it weren’t for the fact that they had cut down on the autumn clothing production, I wouldn’t have remembered people had left the palace.”
“So, it’s because of this that your baby and your health are affected?”
“This is not a small matter. They are clearly bullying me.”
“So, send someone to investigate. If the situation is serious, kick them out of the palace. If it’s not serious, give them a warning.”
“It’s not that easy. There are spies from every province in the palace. There are too many things involved.”
“So, you know who did it, which puts you in a difficult position?”
“Yes, the people we caught this time are the people of the newly appointed Minister of War, Lord Chu.
“I’m afraid that after I deal with him, it will cause unrest in the imperial court.”
“You’re too careful. It’s within your duty. He should be punished.
“If Lord Chu really caused trouble because of this matter, then this person was not worthy of being a second-grade official.
“Besides, King Xian and King An are watching outside. Do you think he can get away with it if he dares to act recklessly now?”
“Doesn’t this Lord Chu have a daughter, Chu Jiao? I heard she was a popular candidate for the Empress selection.” Zhou Ying asked.
“I’m not sure about that, but he was one of the people who suggested the consort selection.
“So this matter is not easy to deal with.”
“With your position, you’re destined not to be benevolent. It’s good enough that you can be fair and impartial, rewarding and punishing clearly.”
Gu Wanning nodded thoughtfully and instructed Nanny Yu to keep an eye outside..
