"Sister-in-law Lin, it's you! Didn't I instruct you to keep watch over the secluded area and not to leave easily?" Dowager Empress Dong's face darkened immediately upon seeing the middle-aged woman.
"Forgive me, miss, but there was a message from the master," the woman replied without much surprise, instead bowing her head slightly.
She then reached into her sleeve, pulled out a golden-yellow shell, walked over, and handed it over with both hands.
"A message from my father at this time is rather strange. Has something happened with our clan?" Dowager Empress Dong raised her eyebrows in surprise, took the golden shell, and gently pressed it to her forehead.
However, within a moment's time, her expression turned ashen. When she moved the shell away, she immediately cursed under her breath,
"That traitor Weiyu, daring to steal the Primordial Heavy Water from the treasury. If he is dead, it would be merciful; otherwise, I must flay and disembowel him."
