“No, the Emperor has already raised the vigilance to the highest level.” Zhou Ying was stunned for a moment and shook her head.
Moreover, she would be keeping an eye on them from now on. It was impossible for Gu Wanning to be in danger.
“Alright.” Gu Chenglin replied absent-mindedly and did not say anything else.
Zhou Ying advised, “Don’t overthink it. The Emperor won’t let anything happen in the palace.
“You, on the other hand, have to be careful next.
First, you can’t eat meat or fish in school, not even eggs. I’ll make some dried tofu for you so you won’t starve.
“Secondly, the clothes you wear must be simple and elegant. Don’t wear colorful clothes. Otherwise, if someone finds out, it will implicate your sister. Do you understand?”
“I know. I will definitely be careful.”
“Okay, go back. Your current mission is to study. Your cousin and I will take care of the rest.”
“Yes, I will take my leave.” Gu Chenglin turned around and walked out after saying that.
Zhou Ying turned around and asked someone to boil the water. She took a shower and changed her clothes. After playing with Guoguo for a while, she asked someone to take out the soybeans and began to pick and soak them.
The next morning, after waking up, she made a lot of dried tofu and tofu skin. She told Chunxiang and Dongxiang, who were helping her, “We now have to eat tofu instead of meat. Don’t touch any meat or fish. Do you understand? Not even lard.”
“Don’t worry, Mistress. We definitely won’t do anything rash.”
“Okay, next, I’ll teach you how to make tofu skin and dried tofu.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she explained it to them while doing it.
It was already noon when they finished. After dinner, Zhou Ying brought Gu Chenglin a big bag of braised tofu and asked him to go to the academy.
She brought a basket to the palace. She saw Gu Wanning sitting listlessly on the recliner and greeted her. “It’s hot, right? Why didn’t you prepare more ice?”
“It’s fine, and I don’t have the strength.” Gu Wanning sat up after she finished speaking.
“You’re tired and hot. Rest well for the next two days.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she put the basket aside and added, “You’re pregnant now. You can’t go hungry.”
“I’ve prepared some tofu. Although it’s not as good as meat, the taste is similar. You can save it and eat it slowly.”
“Sorry to trouble you. Oh right, why didn’t you bring Guoguo along?”
“She was still asleep when I came out, so I didn’t disturb her.
“Besides, she would easily make a big fuss, so it’s not suitable for her to enter the palace.”
After chatting for a while, Zhou Ying saw that she couldn’t raise her spirits, so she didn’t talk any more. Instead, she left the palace to go to Mrs. Yao and the others, and she seriously instructed them.
Be it food, clothing, or words, she told them to be careful and not let anyone catch hold of anything to use against them.
“Ying, do you think Wanning will have a chance to be the Empress this time?” Mrs. Yao asked softly after repeatedly ensuring she would not make a mistake.
“We can’t do anything about this, and it’s not our business,” Zhou Ying said with a firm expression.
“Also, you’re not allowed to say this a second time. You should also restrain the family from saying something similar.”
“It’s not that serious, right?” Mrs. Yao replied with a sheepish smile.
“The matter of the assassin has yet to be settled.”
Hearing her say this, Mrs. Yao also reacted and knew this could not be mentioned again. Otherwise, people might not know what to think of their Gu family.
“Don’t worry,” she promised. “I won’t say it again. I won’t let our family say it either.”
“It’s good that you understand. Sometimes, a seemingly inconspicuous sentence can be a disaster for us if used by others.” Zhou Ying said that and left..
