Cuiping's body was quickly carried out of the prison, wrapped in a tattered mat, thrown on a cart carrying corpses, and then carried out of the palace and thrown away.

In this palace, countless people died every day. They were all wrapped in rotten straw mats and taken to the mass grave outside and thrown there.

However, after Cuiping's body left the palace, it was taken away by someone.

In the palace.

Zhou Ruo sat on a chair and asked the person kneeling beside him, "Have you dealt with Cuiping's funeral?"

The young eunuch said quickly, "According to the Majesty's instructions, we bought her a fine coffin and found a beautiful place to bury her so that she can rest in peace."

Zhou Ruo hummed: "Follow me, I can't let others be without a final resting place."

The young eunuch lowered his head and dared not say a word.

Zhou Ruo asked again: "Is there any news from the Zhou family?"

The young eunuch said softly, "Master Zhou did pass on a message, saying that he had something urgent to see the Empress."

Zhou Ruo sneered, his expression somewhat cold: "Why do you want to see me? No need to ask, it must be because the matter has not been completed."

The young eunuch still didn't dare to say a word. He knelt on the ground and waited quietly for Zhou Ruo's instructions.

After a while, Zhou Ruo said again: "Forget it, just let him in."

The young eunuch nodded, turned and left the room, and soon brought Zhou's father in from outside.

As soon as Zhou's father entered the room, he said in a panic: "Oh no, oh no..."

"What are you yelling about?" Zhou Ruo interrupted his father with a cold face, "Are you afraid that others don't know?"

Father Zhou quickly shut up, then looked around like a thief, and finally said in a low voice: "They, they ran away."

Zhou Ruo closed her eyes, as if she had expected all this, and pursed her lips without saying a word.

Father Zhou continued, "I clearly gave them enough money, found a place, and even sent someone to watch them for insurance. But now they are gone, and even the people who were watching over them have disappeared without a trace."

"My lady, what should we do now? Where should we look for her?"

"What are you looking for?" Zhou Ruo looked at him and said coldly, "Who are you looking for?"

Father Zhou looked a little guilty, and said weakly, "Didn't you tell me to deal with them? How can I deal with them if I can't find anyone here?"

Zhou Ruo felt so depressed looking at his stupid and foolish appearance that he didn't want to talk to him anymore.

"You don't have to worry about this matter anymore, go back." Zhou Ruo said slowly.

Mr. Zhou was stunned: "Then, then this matter ends here? Can you feel at ease if you don't find the person?"

Zhou Ruo's patience had reached its limit. He stood up, grabbed the teacup beside him and threw it at him: "If you want me to feel at ease, why didn't you deal with this matter right from the beginning? Now that the person is gone, what's the point of you saying all this?"

"It's not that I won't do it for you, it's just that I can't find anyone, I..."

"Of course you can't find him, because he has already fallen into someone else's hands. Now those people are like a knife on my neck, which may fall at any time." Zhou Ruo said almost hysterically, "If something happens to me, you and your Zhou family will be no exception. Go back and have something good to eat, otherwise you will be killed at any time."

Zhou's father's expression changed instantly, and he said in panic: "What should we do? What on earth did you do?"

"You stinky girl, our Zhou family didn't get to enjoy your blessing, but was implicated by you. You are such a jinx!"
