Chapter 1418: Chapter 1418: The Power Behind the General’s Gate (28)

Su Xue was in a stupor all night and the next day, she got up holding her head.

How did she return?

What happened later last night?

The Empress Dowager!

Su Xue became fully awake with fright and hurriedly got up to run to Chuzheng’s sleeping quarters.

Su Xue pushed the door open and entered; the hall was quiet.

Chuzheng lay on her side, still asleep.

Seeing Chuzheng well and fine, Su Xue sighed in relief. What really happened last night?

She vaguely remembered meeting a few people... then she couldn’t recall anything else.

”Su Xue.”

”The Empress Dowager.” Su Xue snapped back to reality and hurried forward, ”You are awake.”

Chuzheng sat up and tidied her clothes, ”Yes.”

”The Empress Dowager, last night...”

”Don’t pry.”

”...”

Since Chuzheng didn’t allow questions, Su Xue dared not ask any further.

She attended to Chuzheng’s clothes, but Chuzheng told her to leave first.

Su Xue, puzzled, was preparing to leave when her gaze paused suddenly.

Were the items on the bed changed?

Su Xue just found it odd but didn’t overthink it, cautiously withdrawing.

Not until later, when she never saw that bedding again, did she feel something was off.

But Su Xue dared not ask.

Su Xue gathered information about what happened last night.

She only knew something happened, but the palace maids and eunuchs weren’t very clear on the specifics.

This kind of thing was surely forbidden from spreading.

Disclosing even a word could amount to a capital crime.

Even those in the know, no matter how gossip-inclined, dared not speak carelessly.

Just as Su Xue was pondering over what had transpired, someone came to deliver a message.

”The Empress Dowager, the Regent Prince wishes to see you.”

”See me?” The Regent Prince was currently under house arrest; why would he want to see her now?

The palace attendant delivering the message said, ”Yes, The Regent Prince said that you would regret not going.”

Chuzheng, ”What would I have to regret?”

The palace attendant slowly uttered three words, ”General Rong.”

Chuzheng’s eyes narrowed slightly.

The Regent Prince was confined to his palace, surrounded by the Imperial Guard Army.

Chuzheng followed the palace attendant in.

The Regent Prince sat in the main seat, looking quite spirited, showing no signs of poor meals or bad sleep.

”The Empress Dowager.”

As Chuzheng entered, the Regent Prince immediately got up to warmly welcome her.

”Why did the Regent Prince seek me?”

”Please sit, The Empress Dowager,” the Regent Prince said with a slight smile.

Chuzheng was not afraid of him and sat down with confidence.

”The Empress Dowager, you are truly clever,” the Regent Prince remarked as if in admiration, ”which makes me more and more fond of you. I can’t bear to harm you.”

Chuzheng tapped the armrest with her fingertips, ”You cannot harm me.”

”Hahaha, seeing you so confident reminds me of your mother.”

”...”

The Regent Prince appeared to have a sudden revelation, ”Oh, that’s right, perhaps you don’t know your mother.”

”...”

I truly... don’t know.

The original character was raised by the Grand Tutor Lord.

She had never met her mother or father.

According to the Grand Tutor himself, they died in an accident.

The Regent Prince fell into reminiscing, ”Your mother was the Capital City’s top talent back then, captivating many Scions of Noble Families who were willing to do anything for her smile.”

This group included the late Emperor and him.

But this talented woman eventually chose a man with a generally modest background.

They didn’t die in some accident either.

”I did it,” the Regent Prince smiled, ”What I cannot have, no one else shall.”

At that time, the original character had just been born.

The Regent Prince framed the original character’s father’s family for treason.

At that time, we were in a war with another state, and with evidence prepared, everything went as he planned.

And indeed it did.

The late Emperor was furious, though he had secretly spared their lives because he couldn’t obtain the person he loved anyway, yet couldn’t bear to lose them.

The Regent Prince used an excuse of reception to take them away.

The Regent Prince acted so well that none of them suspected a thing and followed him.

”My Imperial Brother is soft-hearted; you see, keeping someone you can’t have serves no purpose, don’t you agree?”

Chuzheng looked at him calmly, expressing no opinion.

The Regent Prince didn’t mind, continuing his story.

”I was surprised later when my brother, just before his death, brought you into the palace...”

”I thought my brother was genuinely that generous, but it turns out he was unwilling to let go even until his dying breath.”

Chuzheng, ”...”

I have some harsh words to say.

If you can’t have your loved one, would you settle for their daughter?

The human heart is truly complex.

Inside, Chuzheng’s mental comments filled several pages, but outwardly she remained very indifferent.

”What use is there in telling me these things, Prince?”

The Regent Prince’s smile slightly lessened, a few shades of suspicion rising in his eyes.

Upon hearing such things.

Her reaction was overly calm.

The Regent Prince, ”Aren’t you... even a little surprised?”

Chuzheng, ”Why should I be surprised.”

I am not the original character.

I’ve encountered even more melodramatic plots.

What’s this?

A mere trifle.

The Regent Prince momentarily choked.

Why isn’t this developing as expected?

Is this the reaction of a normal person?!

Chuzheng’s tone was chilly, ”Did you call me here today just to reminisce about the past?”

”Of course not.”

The Regent Prince’s expression became solemn.

He had thought these revelations would make her panic, yet she appeared not to care at all.

The Regent Prince settled beside her, ”I asked The Empress Dowager here today because I wish for a favor from you.”

”Why should I help you?”

”You wouldn’t want me to reveal your affair with Rong Shi, would you?” The Regent Prince clicked his tongue twice, ”That would ruin not just The Empress Dowager, but also Rong Shi, General Rong.”

”Tell me, Empress Dowager, is it more serious for a prince to have an affair with a concubine, or for an Empress Dowager and a general to have an affair?”

Where did this bastard learn about that?

... Right, one person got away the day of that Good Person Card attack.

Was it his doing?

Chuzheng’s thoughts went through eighteen twists, but her face remained devoid of any emotion.

”What rubbish is the Prince speaking?”

”You know very well whether I’m speaking rubbish or not,” the Regent Prince looked at her with amusement, ”If you don’t want me to spread it, you’d better listen to my conditions.”

The Regent Prince thought Chuzheng wouldn’t gamble with her life and Rong Shi’s.

Thus he was confident.

However...

Chuzheng’s response was indifferent, ”Oh.”

The bastard’s got some guts.

He dared to threaten me!

Chuzheng stood up supporting herself on the armrest.

The Regent Prince maintained a calm smile, ”Rest assured, Empress Dowager, my conditions won’t be too excessive.”

Chuzheng’s tone was icy, ”Prince, it’s broad daylight.”

The Regent Prince, ”???”

Go ahead, daydream!

Chuzheng rolled up her sleeves, marched up, and started beating the Regent Prince.

Did you think I was still that gullible fool easy to bully?

I’ll beat you to death, you filthy scoundrel.

How dare you threaten me!

The Regent Prince never expected Chuzheng would resort to physical action, snapping out of it only after taking several hits.

But by then he had lost any chance to counterattack.

Being thoroughly beaten by Chuzheng.

After finishing, Chuzheng called out, ”Someone, come in.”

The Regent Prince, aching all over and with shifting lights blurring his vision, could barely open his eyes.

Only hearing Chuzheng’s voice, clear and cold, ”The Regent Prince molested me, drag him out and give him fifty lashes!”

The Regent Prince, ”!!!”

He didn’t!
