Who would have thought Aunt Fu, who has consistently performed her duties in silence for decades, never coveting or competing, most meticulous and organized in her work, would turn out to be a spy planted in the palace by a foreign country?
"Guards, search for me! I want Aunt Fu found, even if it means ransacking the entire Imperial Palace! I will have her quartered!" The Emperor, who had always held Aunt Fu in high regard for her composure among all the Empress Dowager's nannies, ordered.
"Yes!" A bodyguard quickly stepped forward and left to carry out the orders.
