The little maid hugged the money to her heart. She was pleased with herself. Although she did not become rich with the money in her hand, she could live a comfortable life in the future.
"I am going to get more supplies," the maid said. She was in charge of buying some everyday things in the Palace. She handed the pass from the kitchen to the man at the gate.
The man looked at the pass, and after confirming it, he raised his hands and was about to signal to the other person to open the door when a horse rushed forward.
"Seal the gates," the man on the horse said as he rode closer. The little maid felt weak knees when she heard this. She did not expect the Empress to move so quickly. The man who was opening the gate immediately closed it.
He waited for the man on the horse to come over. "General Jeffery demanded that the gates shut. Not even fly is allowed in or out of the Palace," the man on the horse said.
