Nanny Qian whispered, "This time a loyal servant saved her life; next time she might not have such luck."
The Empress sneered, "That vile maid has a heart of a snake and scorpion, yet someone is still completely devoted to her."
As they were speaking, a palace maid announced from outside, "Your Majesty, a eunuch requests to see you and deliver a message."
The Empress raised an eyebrow, "Let him in."
The young eunuch entered, knelt on the ground, and whispered, "I serve Eunuch Quan."
"Eunuch Quan has instructed me to inform Your Majesty that Commander Zhu has confessed, and the woman he was involved with used to be called Xiu Er."
Upon hearing this, the Empress was somewhat puzzled but nevertheless nodded, "Go back and tell your master that I appreciate his gesture and acknowledge his favor."
Nanny Qian stepped forward and handed the young eunuch a piece of broken silver.
