Chapter 766: Some Plan, Some Enter the Game

The palace maid was extremely frightened, unsure whether she was afraid of being punished by the Ministry of Internal Affairs or if she had done something shameful.

The eunuch manager from the Ministry of Internal Affairs whispered a few scoldings at the palace maid and asked her to rise and take her punishment from behind. He advised her not to obstruct the empress dowager's view and upset the birthday star. Bai Ruozhu observed that the eunuch's intentions were likely a reminder to her not to make a commotion, and to handle the situation discreetly.

"Madam Jiang, come with me to change your clothes. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has prepared some spare ceremonial robes. You'll have to make do with it for now," said the eunuch manager.

Bai Ruozhu gave a slight nod, while Leng Wanhua said, "I'll accompany you."

The eunuch did not stop them. Bai Ruozhu gave Jiang Yichun a look and followed the eunuch out.
