330 Fetus movement (two more updates)

Gu Jiao entered Renshou Palace primarily because of her good looks, which drew the recognition of everyone, from high-ranking officers to palace maids. They knew she was the apple of Empress Dowager Zhuang's eye and therefore, no one dared to stop her.

Although Empress Dowager Zhuang had ordered not to be disturbed in the afternoon, Gu Jiao was an exception.

Noble Consort Zhuang, however, wasn't as fortunate.

She was stopped by palace guards as soon as she arrived at the entrance of Renshou Palace.

Noble Consort Zhuang said, "Have someone announce my presence. I have an urgent matter to discuss with the Empress Dowager."

The Palace Guard replied, "Apologies, but the Empress has ordered that she is not to be disturbed."

Noble Consort Zhuang frowned, "You let someone in a moment ago. Why is that?"

"That was Miss Gu. She came to examine the empress," the palace guard replied, careful not to incur Gu Jao's displeasure.
