Wang Yuan's expression changed, and a flash of malice crossed her eyes, but on the surface she remained harmless.

"You shameless bastard, I think you did it!"

Granny Zhu was both anxious and angry, and her stomach was also hurting. In a moment of anger, she spoke without thinking. Empress Dowager Zhang, who was sitting at the head of the table, did not want to listen to the two of them talking nonsense, so she gave Mei Ying a look. Mei Ying quickly got up and slapped Granny Zhu several times.

Granny Zhu was somewhat dazed from being slapped, and blinked as she looked at Mei Ying.

"Shut up!"

Mei Ying spoke coldly.

"Alright, I understand now. Guards, drag Granny Zhu away and beat her to death with sticks!"

At Empress Dowager Zhang's command, the eunuchs beside her quickly stepped forward, gagged Granny Zhu with a rag, and dragged her towards the backyard of Chang Le Palace.

Granny Zhu groaned and struggled desperately, and accidentally spilled the filth from her body.

Empress Dowager Zhang, her face dark, covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief. "Hurry up and drag her away!"

"We can't stay in the main hall for now," Empress Dowager Zhang said, waving her hand as she rose. She then addressed Wang Yuan, "Since you were the one who discovered the clue, take a few strong and capable matrons and bring Ningyin here!"

After saying this, Empress Dowager Zhang took Mei Ying's hand and quickly left.

Wang Yuan stood up from the ground, let out a cold laugh, raised her cunning eyebrows slightly, and then walked triumphantly towards the front door.

"You lot, come with me to the East Palace to arrest him!"

Wang Yuan disdainfully gave orders to the several nannies, but the nannies stood still, not daring to move.

She was somewhat annoyed and was about to teach those old women a lesson when suddenly a deep, sinister male voice came from behind her.

The voice was like a demon from hell, chilling and terrifying.

"Whom are you going to retrieve from the Eastern Palace?"
