"The Regent Empress... and Concubine Zhao? How is this possible..."
Lan Suyao wasn't sure who Concubine Zhao was, but the Empress?
She remembered the Regent Empress personally mentioning the missing high-grade spiritual herbs.
If the Empress herself had taken some of them, why would she bring it up?
Everything suddenly felt confusing.
Yue Lan's voice trembled slightly as she whispered,
"Senior Lan... could it be that the Regent Empress is also being deceived? Or... is she involved somehow?"
Lan Suyao frowned.
"Let's not jump to conclusions yet. These are only the official names of those who legally entered… There are also many eunuchs and servants listed here."
At that moment, Eunuch Liu, who had been standing nervously to the side, hurriedly explained,
"Ah, those servants and eunuchs all came under the direct orders of their masters. They had all obtained the rightful permits before taking the herbs out, so everything should be correctly recorded."
