Chapter 1407: Chapter 1407: The Powerful Lady of the General’s Household (17)

After arriving at the Summer Resort, the Young Emperor was taken away by Eunuch Yang De, while Chuzheng took the ’Harem’ to settle in.

There weren’t many people who needed to be settled.

Just a few Princesses, Noble Consort Xuan, and herself.

The Princesses who were punished to copy and recite Buddhist scriptures were now scared of Chuzheng.

The Young Emperor now treated her like a mother, dearly, giving her backing.

The Princesses also knew to avoid trouble for the time being.

Noble Consort Xuan had hit setbacks along the way and was behaving properly now, not daring to stir up trouble.

After knowing which palace she was in, she led her people directly there.

The Summer Resort was indeed cool, with a breeze always blowing, better than even ice.

The palaces of Chuzheng and the Young Emperor were the coolest, with others being a bit less so.

Even if the Young Emperor went out to avoid the heat, he couldn’t neglect the affairs of the state, so he remained busy.

Chuzheng was much more idle every day.

There weren’t any places around the Summer Resort to squander wealth, leaving the King’s Account with no room to showcase.

But Chuzheng underestimated the King’s Account.

”You want me, an Empress Dowager, to sneak out?”

[Missy, what’s the matter, we should be willing to go through fire and water for squandering!] The King’s Account earnestly stated.

Go through fire and water, for squandering?

Do you think I didn’t graduate from language class?!

[Missy, as long as you wish, anything is possible!]

”Heh heh!”

[Missy, if you don’t go, it will rewind~] The King’s Account cheekily reminded.

Anyway, the task was already set.

If Missy doesn’t go, then let it rewind.

Chuzheng: ”...”

Damn you, you celestial being!

Chuzheng changed into different clothes, and upon hearing she was going out, Su Xue looked like she was about to die on the spot.

Unfortunately, no one could stop Chuzheng.

Moreover, Chuzheng didn’t plan on taking the usual route out; she planned to climb the wall...

Su Xue felt her Empress Dowager had gone mad.

She just thought that her Empress Dowager had been holding back for so long, finally about to explode.

The walls of the Summer Resort weren’t very high.

But there were a lot of walls.

Climbing one after another.

Never-ending.

”Mo... Mother, what are you doing?”

The Young Emperor was shocked to see Chuzheng and Su Xue on the wall.

Chuzheng’s heart skipped a beat.

Game over.

She’s been caught!

Should I get rid of him or get rid of him?!

Chuzheng looked down.

The Young Emperor was alone, not knowing if he sneaked out or dismissed the Palace Attendants.

Chuzheng remained calm: ”Climbing the wall.”

Young Emperor: ”What are you climbing the wall for? Isn’t there a door?”

”To go out.”

”...”

In the end, Chuzheng took the Young Emperor along.

The three of them barely managed to sneak out of the Summer Resort.

The Summer Resort was on a mountain, so they still had to go down.

The Young Emperor was pampered and couldn’t walk far.

In the end, Su Xue carried him down the mountain.

They didn’t take the main road they came by, but a small path, where there were also patrolling Imperial Guards.

The three of them avoided these Imperial Guards and quickly reached halfway down the mountain.

”Your Imperial Guards are no good.” Chuzheng commented.

If an assassin came, they’d be up there in minutes.

The Young Emperor didn’t know if he understood Chuzheng but nodded: ”Mother is right.”

Chuzheng: ”...”

Quick, let’s go!!

”Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, where are you going?”

The three of them froze simultaneously.

The rustling of the grass sounded, and a tall and handsome man walked out from the side, exuding a cold, murderous aura.

”Mother, it seems we’ve been discovered.” The Young Emperor whispered.

”...”

Damn it, I heard!

”General Rong.” Chuzheng turned calmly, looking at the handsome man standing in the grass: ”Going down the mountain, are you coming?”

Rong Shi was checking the terrain nearby and found the Emperor and Empress Dowager sneaking out.

Now the Empress Dowager was still confidently asking if he would go.

Rong Shi felt he should take them back.

How could the Emperor and Empress Dowager of a nation just go down the mountain like this?

”Empress Dowager, is there something you need by going down the mountain?”

Chuzheng confidently: ”Nothing, just having a look.”

”Empress Dowager, for your and the Emperor’s safety...”

”So are you coming or not?”

Rong Shi: ”...”

Chuzheng casually picked up a stick from the ground, implying that if he didn’t go, she’d knock him out to prevent him from alerting others.

”I will escort the Emperor and Empress Dowager.”

Chuzheng threw away the stick, ”Now that’s more like it.”

Rong Shi didn’t say much, as he silently and cautiously led the way ahead.

Su Xue carried the Young Emperor in the middle, with Chuzheng at the back.

The path was rugged, and the mountain trails were difficult to walk. Rong Shi paused slightly, glancing back at Chuzheng.

”Does the Empress Dowager need a rest?”

Chuzheng swung a blade of grass back and forth, looking leisurely: ”No need, hurry up and go.”

Walking a bit was manageable.

How could a girl casually say she couldn’t do it!

Rong Shi: ”...”

Rong Shi asked Su Xue to pass the Young Emperor to him.

The Young Emperor was somewhat afraid of Rong Shi, the man felt to him like a weapon, sharp, cold, and murderous.

”No need to trouble General Rong, I can walk myself.”

The Young Emperor declined Rong Shi.

This time Su Xue went ahead, with the Young Emperor following her, and Rong Shi trailing him.

He slowed his pace, occasionally glancing at Chuzheng from the corner of his eye.

He thought that after walking for so long, Chuzheng would eventually lose her footing, but from start to finish, she walked perfectly steadily, without wavering.

He had no room to showcase his skills.

After reaching the foot of the mountain, there was still a distance to the nearest town.

”Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, please wait a moment.”

Chuzheng squinted slightly, looking at him dangerously: ”Are you going to call for help?”

If word got out, how could she go out then?

”...I’m going to find a cart.”

There was a stationed escort army at the foot of the mountain, where carriages were available.

Rong Shi quickly got a carriage and took Chuzheng and the others into town.

Upon entering the town, the first matter was to change the Young Emperor’s clothes.

No matter how casual his attire was, it was still conspicuous with dragon patterns.

If people saw that, it’d be over.

The Young Emperor had only left the palace a few times since birth, each time to fixed locations, never walking on the streets like this.

Everything seemed novel to him.

He touched this, looked at that.

Even had to gaze at a sugar figurine for a long time.

Chuzheng scattered wealth along the way, buying whatever the Young Emperor touched.

”Mother, how come you have so much money?” The Young Emperor asked while licking the sugar figurine, lacking any imperial demeanor.

”Guess.”

”I can’t guess.” The Young Emperor shook his head, licking the sugar figurine again: ”Did Father Emperor give it to Mother?”

”...”

Chuzheng remained silent.

If you think so, then so be it.

Anyways, the late Emperor couldn’t speak now.

”Young Master, you shouldn’t address the Missy like that, if people hear, it wouldn’t be good.” Su Xue softly reminded.

The Young Emperor tilted his head: ”Then how should I call her?”

Su Xue instructed the Young Emperor to use the terms common folk used.

The Young Emperor nodded, expressing his understanding.

”What’s happening up there?” The Young Emperor’s attention was drawn to a crowd gathered ahead, immediately abandoning his mother and running towards it.

”Your Majesty... Young Master!”

Rong Shi called out.

Su Xue had already started chasing, Rong Shi wanted to follow, but Chuzheng was walking leisurely, and he couldn’t just leave her there.
