Chapter 1405: Leaving the Palace to Return Home

At the Zhou residence, just after Lady Zhao and Yu Die had left, a Female Officer from the palace came to summon Zhulan to enter the palace.

Zhulan's heart skipped a beat, and she carefully observed the Female Officer's expression, but unfortunately, the palace officials were all too shrewd, and it was hard to discern anything from their faces.

Zhulan changed her clothes and came out. She did not question the Female Officer; it would have been useless to ask anyway. If they had wanted to tell her something, they would have let slip some information earlier. Now, seeing the Officer's tightly sealed lips, Zhulan knew she had been cautioned to silence.

She wasn't worried about her granddaughter; with the Retired Emperor and the Empress Dowager both in the palace, even if the sky fell there would be those two greatest protectors. What worried her was Yu Jiao.
