After that, Zhou Ying comforted her and hurriedly left the palace to bring her a box of 30 calming pills.

She also gave her some cream that she had made to replenish her energy.

After returning, Zhou Ying deliberately watched for a day and found that there were many rats.

There were even two big ones and even more small ones.

Especially in the imperial kitchen, everyone brought home a lot of things.

No wonder Gu Wanning was so angry that her health was affected.

Fortunately, she took action that night. Gu Wanning directly led the steward of the imperial kitchen and caught several mice in a row.

After a round of interrogation, not only did they receive twenty whips, but they also had to make up for it.

At the same time, they strengthened the patrols and warned everyone. They did not pursue the matter anymore.

One of the chefs in the imperial kitchen had a look of lingering fear on his face. After dodging the calamity, he found an imperial guard and whispered, “Brother, you’ve heard about what happened tonight, right?”

“Tell Milord that this matter ends here. Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep my job.”

“Alright, thank you. I’ll bring you two jars of good wine when I’m free.” After saying that, the imperial guards quickly went back to patrol.

After changing shifts in the evening, he went straight home. Only then did Zhou Ying know that this imperial guard was one of Lord Chu’s sons-in-law.

The second son-in-law of the Minister of War.

They had done this in the hopes that the Empress would make a mistake and cause trouble for the Empress Dowager or King Xian, ruining her reputation. They did not expect Gu Wanning to act so quickly.

His wife asked, “I didn’t expect the Empress to act so quickly. Should we find trouble with her in other ways?”

“No, once she becomes alert, we won’t have the chance to make a move.

“If they find out that it’s us, it’ll be a small matter if we lose our jobs, but it’ll be troublesome if we lose our lives.”

“Is it that serious?”

“What do you think? Anyway, this matter ends here. Don’t get involved with your sister.

“The Emperor is obviously biased towards the Empress. It’s not that easy for her to ascend.”

“But…”

“Sleep.”

Zhou Ying looked at the Chu Residence and found Chu Jiao. At this time, she was sitting in front of the lamp, practicing her embroidery skills.

However, her embroidery skills were not really good. She was not much better than a beginner.

She even yawned as she embroidered.

A servant girl walked over and said, “Miss, it’s late. You should continue tomorrow. It’s not good for your health.”

“There are less than two months until the consort selection. If I don’t practice now, how can I have a chance? I don’t want to lose to these basic skills.” Chu Jiao replied without raising her head.

She yawned with tears and continued to embroider.

“Miss, you can’t embroider anymore. Hurry up, wash up, and rest.”

“Alright, alright, I got it.” Chu Jiao relented, finally put down the embroidery rack, and washed up.

After she fell asleep, Zhou Ying entered her dream to warn her.

The dream she weaved was simple. Chu Jian dreamed she was selected through the consort selection through all her outstanding efforts.

After she finally entered the palace, she was greeted not by the Emperor on the night of her wedding but by a toad.

When Chu Jian woke up in fright, Zhou Ying retreated with a smile.

This was a small warning. If Chu Jiao continued her sabotage, Zhou Ying wouldn’t be so kind again.

After that, Chu Jiao couldn’t sleep no matter how she tried, even though she was tired.

She couldn’t understand why she dreamed of that.. Did that dream have any meaning?
