“This morning, after serving the empress her breakfast, she and Wang You Cai tied me up, and placed me on the bed. Then Su Feng was called in, tied and placed together with me. After that the empress left with Wang You Cai. Before that Wang You Cai was advising her not to go, and when he left, he does not seem to be very willing as well. But the empress threatened him, if he does not want to go, she will tie him up and throw him into Tai Ye Lake to feed the fishes. What happens after that, I do not know”
“She has never returned at all?”
“No”
Ji Wu Jiu did not understand, as the empress, Ye Zhen Zhen can do what ever she likes, why does she need to tie people up? Tying this to maid servants up, would most probably be because she was afraid the both of them will go look for her when she did not return, and if they can’t find her the entire palace will be notified.
Afraid they will go look for her?
She left the palace?!
