Watching Noble Concubine Shih's angry departure, Xia Ruqing simply didn't know what to say, feeling utterly baffled. Since when did wrongdoers have the audacity to act so self-righteous?
Although the Imperial Kitchen had always been the Emperor's domain, Noble Concubine Shih was ambitious and had the support of the Empress Dowager. For her to plant one or two spies inside should not be difficult at all! Moreover, He Changshou was the type to protect his own skin. Never one to involve himself in troubles that did not fall directly on his head, he was very protective of his own position. He must have known about the incident. He simply chose to turn a blind eye. After all, the wetnurse nannies' food wasn't important enough to require the personal attention of a Chief Steward!
So, Xia Ruqing looked around, a chill creeping into her heart. The people in this Harem... SIGH!
