There are only two explanations.
One is that Sikong Mo is lying, but that seems unlikely.
The second is that the capital city's forces may already have been silently infiltrated by the Wang Family.
And this one is the most terrifying.
The Emperor was led by Sikong Mo to the study room to discuss matters, and only then did the Empress inquire about the events of yesterday afternoon involving Qin Xiao.
The Empress already knew that Nanny Liu was knocked out by Rouruo yesterday, hence she was aware of Rouruo being a traitor.
At this moment, after hearing Qin Xiao's account, she was even more certain of this fact.
Yet, the anger in her heart grew deeper.
Rouruo had been by her side for several years. Despite being the Empress, she constantly reminded herself of the mistakes she made in the past, also spending these years being devoted to a vegetarian diet and Buddhism, treating her servants with kindness and generosity.
