"Yes!" The palace maids hurriedly answered as they were frightened to no end.
Just as they were about to leave, the Empress hollered, "Also, you mustn't let anyone know about this now! If His Majesty hears about this… be careful of your lives!"
"…Yes!" Many palace maids hurriedly dispersed.
The Empress's face was dark and scary as she stood rooted to the ground for quite some time. Where can Rong Zhen go? With her pearl of essence broken, she doesn't have any cultivation at all. Based on her strengths, she definitely can't avoid so many people and silently leave. Unless…
The Empress suddenly thought of something, and her heart sank. Did Elder Meng bring Rong Zhen out?
She hurriedly returned to the house and left the palace maids outside.
After confirming that nobody was around, she took out a small thing from her arms. It was a thumb-sized jade seal, which was what she usually used to contact Elder Meng.
