When Zhou Chen heard Zhou Ruo say this, his eyes flickered, but he soon looked at Zhou Ruo firmly and said word by word: "Today, let alone the imperial concubine, even if the queen mother is here, I will definitely take this person away."

"You..." Zhou Ruo took a deep breath and said slowly, "If you want to arrest someone, you should give me a reason, right? You want to arrest someone for no reason, isn't that too much?"

Zhou Chen glanced at her and said calmly, "She is suspected of collaborating with the enemy and betraying her country."

Zhou Ruo's expression changed instantly, his pupils shrank, and he looked at Zhou Chen in shock.

Zhou Chen looked at her deeply and said slowly: "No matter who it is, if they violate this rule, it is an unforgivable crime."

"How is it possible?" Zhou Ruo's eyes flickered. "She, she is a low-ranking palace maid who sweeps the floor. How could she do such a thing? Did you make a mistake?"

"No mistake," Zhou Chen said calmly, "We have already found out that she had contact with Tuoba Xuan's men."

"Having had contact with her doesn't prove she's collaborating with the enemy and betraying her country," Zhou Ruo's voice rose a little. "Just because she met once or exchanged a few words, does that mean she's collaborating with the enemy and betraying her country?"

"Tuoba Xuan is a prince of a foreign country. What's there to talk to him for no reason?" Zhou Chen's voice became a little colder.

Zhou Ruo opened his mouth but no words came out for a long time.

Zhou Chen took a step back and said softly, "I will take my leave now."

Zhou Ruo was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What exactly is going on with this matter?"

Zhou Chen: "The specific details of the case are still being investigated, and it is not convenient to disclose more information. Your Majesty, there is no need to ask more."

Zhou Ruo: "..."

She watched Zhou Chen take the person away and did not move for a long time.

Cuiping had already turned pale with fear from the scene, and whispered, "Madam, what should we do now? This is no small matter. If you are treasonous, you will be executed along with your entire clan."

"This little bastard, why is she talking to Tuoba Xuan's people instead of just sweeping the floor? Isn't this harming us?"

"If she really did something and His Majesty took his anger out on us, what should we do?"

Zhou Ruo raised his hand and rubbed his brow, and said impatiently: "Okay!"

Cuiping pursed her lips, looked at Zhou Ruo carefully, and dared not speak anymore.

Zhou Ruo was silent for a moment, then said, "Go prepare some money and send it to her family. Let them take the money and live far away."

Cui Ping looked at Zhou Ruo in surprise: "My Lady, what are you doing?"

Zhou Ruo lowered his head and said softly, "She has been serving me for quite some time. Although she has been doing the most insignificant work, I still have some feelings for her. I can't bear to see her family implicated by this matter and let her despair."

Cuiping looked at Zhou Ruo with some emotion: "My queen, you are so kind. You are still thinking about her family at this time."

Cuiping couldn't help but think that if she made any mistake one day, the empress would definitely treat her like this. She was glad that she followed a very good master.

Zhou Ruo pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly and said tiredly, "Go ahead."

Cuiping turned around to get the banknotes, determined to get this matter settled.

Zhou Ruoze raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, looking at it silently, and didn't say anything for a long time.

A quarter of an hour later, she suddenly got up, changed her clothes and went to the Queen Mother.
