At first, the spy didnât think much of it, but she soon widened her eyes and looked at Zhou Ying with hatred.
Because the taste of ants biting was unbearable.
When Zhou Ying saw this, she rolled her eyes at her and said, âWhat are you looking at? If you do the first, donât blame us for the fifteenth.
âThis is just the beginning. Use all 18 kinds of torture. I think there will be one that suits you.â
âSince you dare enter the palace to assassinate someone, you have to be prepared to be tortured.â After the Grand Empress Dowager said this, she asked Nanny Liu to take the spy away for interrogation.
Following that, everyone replaced the things that dropped from the table. However, the First Prince was clearly not interested anymore. He grabbed a seal that was near him and did not bother anymore.
The Grand Empress Dowager saw this and said, âForget it. Iâm not in the mood after that, either. Letâs go over and have a good chat.â
After saying that, she called everyone out.
Although they were chatting, they were actually asking about the situation outside the palace and the situation of each family.
Inside her room, Gu Wanning was hugging the First Prince. She looked at Zhou Ying with a face full of lingering fear. âThank you so much for today, Sister-in-law. If you hadnât reacted so quickly, Yangyang might have been in trouble.â
âThatâs true. That spy isnât weak, and it would be troublesome if Yangyang had fallen on his head.â Mingyu nodded in agreement.
âHe was lucky that he was thrown high, so I had time to rush over and catch him.â Zhou Ying said.
âHm, I did notice something weird that you brought that up.
âWhen the First Prince descended, I clearly felt that it was somehow slowed down,â Mingyu commented with a face full of question marks.
Zhou Yingâs heart skipped a beat. She smiled calmly and replied. âMaybe you were scared at that time. Sometimes, when people are scared, they perceive things differently.â
âMaybe. But no matter what, this is a good thing. Go find one or two people who know martial arts to accompany the two children later.â Mingyu looked at Gu Wanning and suggested.
âBy the way, didnât you train ten female soldiers?â Zhou Ying asked. âWhat are they doing now?â
âI sent them to take care of my estate and dowry.â Mingyu understood what she meant and said, âIâll transfer four back to protect the two children.â.
âYou donât have enough. Iâll find someone to specially train a few later.â Gu Wanning shook her head at her suggestion.
âItâs fine for a short while. You can use them for now. When your people are trained, you can return them to me.â
âThanks. Donât mind if I do.â Gu Wanning thanked Mingyu.
After a meal, Zhou Ying handed Gu Wanning a small box after everyone had dispersed. âThis is a birthday present I specially prepared for Yangyang. You can keep it for him.â
âWhat is it?â Gu Wanning asked.
âItâs for Yangyangâs pocket money.â
âYouâre really giving it to him? Heâs just a child. How can he spend so much?â
âYou spend it if he canât, so donât reject it. Itâs better to nurture some confidants quickly. Otherwise, once a new consort enters the palace, you will be in a passive position.â
âI got it. Oh, right, howâs Chenglin?â
âHeâs doing pretty well in school. Iâll keep an eye on his day-to-day. Donât worry.â
âIâll leave him to you, Sister-in-law.â Gu Wanning nodded.
After Zhou Ying left, she opened the box and took a look. Not only were there 10,000 taels of silver in notes, but there were also some silver hairpins, silver rings, silver earrings, silver coins, and other silver-made products.
There was even a box of golden melon seeds.
Gu Wanning teared up when she saw this. She thought of what Zhou Ying had suggested before and immediately called Eunuch Sun over. She asked him to contact the Emperorâs guards to train four female guards who knew martial arts to come in and protect the First Prince and the Eldest Princess..
