"It seems Ruozhu has been wrongly accused, and the Department of Precautionary Punishment must thoroughly investigate this matter to clarify the situation and seek justice for Consort Lv," the Empress Dowager said with a stern face.
Seeing this, the Empress, fearing that the Empress Dowager would hold her accountable for previously preventing Bai Ruozhu from saving Consort Lv, hastily said, "Yes, Mother is right. The Department of Precautionary Punishment must act swiftly and not let the criminal escape."
The Empress Dowager glanced at her and said with some displeasure, "The Empress should also put more effort into managing the Harem, choose people more carefully, and prevent these troubles from happening again."
The Empress bowed her head, appearing submissive, "Mother's lesson is well received; it is my fault. I will surely devote more effort to managing the Harem and prevent such incidents from occurring."
