Nanny Li knelt on the ground like a puddle of mud, having long forgotten to plead for mercy, completely consumed by fear.
She hadn't expected her attempt to kill Nanny Zhou to silence her would fall into Su Jin's trap.
And this trap was tailor-made for her.
Yesterday's haunting at Chaohua Palace planted seeds of suspicion in her mind, leading her to the palace under the guise of a summons from the Empress, step by step.
The words from the eunuchs who passed on the message were all meticulously planned by Su Jin.
Nanny Li arriving at Chaohua Palace indicated her plan was successful.
And then there was Eunuch Fu, who, at Su Jin's request for help, assisted willingly.
Early in the morning, Su Jin sent two large chests into the palace, instructing Eunuch Fu to have them carried into Chaohua Palace. After court adjourned, she had the Emperor and Left and Right Ministers enter through the palace's back door.
