Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 1392: Chapter 1392: The Gate General’s Powerful Consort (Part 2)

”Figure out what?”

The woman sitting over there asked leisurely.

The Regent Prince’s gaze unapologetically fell on her, appraising her: ”The Empress Dowager, you know what I’m talking about.”

Chuzheng said nothing.

Her cool, serene eyes looked at him calmly.

The Regent Prince suddenly met Chuzheng’s gaze and was momentarily taken aback.

All this time, every time she saw him, she would either avoid or dread him. When did she dare to look at him with such eyes?

However...

The Regent Prince’s eyes narrowed slightly.

”The Empress Dowager, today His Majesty is very happy, probably too preoccupied to care about you. You say...”

The Regent Prince deliberately elongated his words, hiding danger and deeper emotions in his eyes.

”So what?” Chuzheng retorted calmly.

”So...” The Regent Prince approached Chuzheng with a smirk on his lips: ”The Empress Dowager, why not be sensible.”

Chuzheng slowly stood up, the coldness spreading between her brows: ”Regent Prince, give me a demonstration of what it means to be sensible.”

The Regent Prince lightly frowned.

What’s up with this little girl?

Does she think by putting on such an air, she can scare him?

How naïve of her.

However...

It is commendable for her to exert such an aura in a short amount of time.

The Regent Prince relaxed his eyebrows, gently coaxing her: ”As long as you listen to me, I promise you’ll have whatever you desire.”

”...”

Oh wow.

You’re quite something!

”The Empress Dowager, what do you think?”

Chuzheng pressed her wrist: ”Not much.”

The Regent Prince was used to her refusals, so he wasn’t angry. Instead, he seemed to shake his head helplessly: ”Why are you so stubborn? Look at the current court; do you think opposing me will end well for you?”

”There’s no good end opposing me either.”

The Regent Prince’s words were choked by Chuzheng’s retort.

As if he hadn’t heard clearly, the Regent Prince asked: ”The Empress Dowager, what did you say?”

Chuzheng looked at him coldly, her words chilling: ”Are your ears not working?” Can’t even understand a word; what a useless dog!

”...”

The Regent Prince’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

A chill rose from his feet, shooting straight to his head, making his scalp tingle.

But in front of him was just a little girl...

What was he afraid of?

With this thought, all those chaotic feelings just vanished from his body.

”The Empress Dowager, you...”

-

[Congratulations to the lady for completing her first rewind in this dimension, loading save...]

Chuzheng: ”...”

Chuzheng watched the unharmed Regent Prince in front of her, a small twitch at the corner of her mouth.

Can’t finish him off, huh!

No problem.

I have other plans.

”The Empress Dowager, who do you think in this palace can still protect you?” The Regent Prince stood confidently in front of Chuzheng, completely unaware that he had already been dealt with once by her.

Chuzheng tossed the knife in her sleeve back into Space, casually responding.

”Myself.”

I, a dignified figure, need no other’s protection!

Of course, I protect myself!

Otherwise, where would my dignity go!

”What?”

With just one word, the Regent Prince didn’t quite understand.

Chuzheng, the True Empress Dowager, formally called him: ”Regent Prince.”

The Regent Prince raised an eyebrow: ”Hmm?”

Chuzheng raised her hand, her slender, jade-like fingertips emerged from her sleeve, and the Regent Prince’s gaze followed her fingers’ movement.

Her entire hand had already come out of the sleeve, revealing a snowy white, delicate wrist.

The Regent Prince’s eyes slowly narrowed, wanting to see more beyond the wrist.

However, layers of garments blocked his sight.

Just as the Regent Prince was wondering what wonders lay beneath those garments, his vision suddenly blurred, and his whole world started spinning.

Before he could figure out what was happening, he slipped into darkness.

Chuzheng delivered a kick to the fallen Regent Prince.

If I can’t kill you, can I not deal with you in another way?!

Chuzheng bent down to drag the Regent Prince. Although she had changed out of the complicated palace attire, what she wore now was also layered, with wide sleeves and hems.

Chuzheng carelessly dropped him, casually tied up her sleeves, and then dragged the Regent Prince out through the window.

The Regent Prince, standing at a height of over six feet, was indeed a challenge for the body of the original owner, who felt tired even carrying a small basket.

Even using Yin Xian to drag him, Chuzheng still felt exhausted.

Not to mention she had to avoid the patrolling Imperial Guards and the palace maids and eunuchs.

If they were to see the Empress Dowager dragging the Regent Prince like this, wouldn’t they be scared out of their wits?

The Regent Prince hit the ground with thuds, leaving spots of blood behind.

Chuzheng finally managed to drag him to the path that the Court Officials would take when leaving the banquet.

It was nighttime, pitch dark, and everyone was still at the banquet; the path was deserted.

Chuzheng first peeked around, picked a spot, then stripped the Regent Prince naked and hung him on a tree.

The Regent Prince hung upside down, swaying like a salted fish in the wind.

Chuzheng took a pen out of Space, leisurely writing words on his back and chest.

”Ahem...”

In the darkness, someone coughed softly, followed by the voices and footsteps of approaching Court Officials.

Chuzheng finished the last stroke, packed up, and slipped into the nearby bushes.

In the distance, Chuzheng saw a group of people being led by eunuchs with palace lanterns.

When they reached the spot where the Regent Prince hung, they could see something swaying in the distance, and cries of alarm rang out.

”What... is that?”

”Is it a person or a ghost!”

”Go and see...”

The eunuchs had no rights; even if scared, they had to go and see.

As the palace lantern got closer, its light revealed the ”thing,” and a familiar face appeared in the eunuchs’ line of sight.

”The Re... Regent Prince! It’s the Regent Prince!”

A eunuch pointed and shouted.

Surprised, a few Court Officials quickly stepped forward.

”The Regent Prince?”

”Still alive.”

”Quick, get him down.”

The knot tied by Chuzheng was hard to untie; after much effort, they still couldn’t open it.

Someone used a knife to cut the rope, but even the rope’s toughness surprised them.

More Court Officials were being held up here as they left the palace.

All the Court Officials knew the Regent Prince had been stripped naked and hung here by someone unknown.

On his back and chest were the words—

I am shameless.

I am despicable.

Even with all this fuss, the Regent Prince hadn’t woken up, so they thought it best to wash off the words to prevent him from seeing them.

Helping the culprit?

No!

They were protecting themselves.

If the Regent Prince knew they had seen everything, they’d be done for.

But the words wouldn’t wash off, as if etched into his skin.

A group of officials was so anxious, they almost cried.

Chuzheng hid in the bushes, concealing her merits and fame.

After going to the trouble of writing it on, how could it be so easily washed off!

Today too, I strive to be a good person!

”Who did this?”

”No idea... Such boldness.”

”This isn’t boldness; it’s seeking death.”

”What a pity...”

”Hush! Don’t speak rashly!”
