Chapter 1419: Chapter 1419: The Power Behind the General’s Gate (29)

The Regent Prince was punished with fifty strokes by Chuzheng, and upon hearing the news, the Young Emperor ordered another fifty strokes.

Surviving a hundred strokes was already a miracle for the Regent Prince.

The Regent Prince insisted that he did not offend Chuzheng, claiming it was an excuse made by her.

However, the Imperial Guard Army uniformly testified in favor of Chuzheng.

When they entered, the Regent Prince was indeed attempting to offend Chuzheng.

Regent Prince: ”...”

Are you all blind?!

At that time, he was already lying on the ground!

How could he have offended the Empress Dowager?!

”Your Majesty... I have something to report.” The Regent Prince, gasping for breath with a pale face, called upon the Young Emperor.

The Young Emperor wore a stern face: ”What else does Uncle have to say?”

”It’s about the Empress Dowager and General Rong.”

The Young Emperor frowned.

He glanced at Eunuch Yang De, who understood and immediately dismissed the other people to a distance.

Chuzheng stood not far away, watching with a detached expression, not intending to stop him from speaking.

Grinding his teeth, the Regent Prince said, ”The Empress Dowager and General Rong are having an affair...”

The Young Emperor’s heart skipped a beat.

Why is his mother involved again?

And with General Rong?

”Uncle, do you have evidence?” The Young Emperor asked, seeing Chuzheng remain silent: ”One can’t make such claims lightly!”

”I have a witness.”

The Young Emperor hoped Chuzheng would say something, but she remained silent, watching indifferently.

As if what they were discussing had nothing to do with her.

”Call up the witness.”

The Regent Prince immediately sent someone to bring the witness.

The Young Emperor was anxious, afraid that the Regent Prince might actually produce some witness.

Yet time passed, and the Regent Prince’s people never returned.

The Regent Prince, holding back the pain and barely staying conscious, grew increasingly anxious inside.

Finally, just as the Regent Prince was about to faint, the person returned.

”Your Highness... the person couldn’t be found.”

”What?”

How could they not find them?

Of course, this wasn’t the time to worry about that.

If they couldn’t find anyone, couldn’t they find just anyone?!

In front of so many people, the Regent Prince couldn’t say anything, resorting to cursing them as useless in his heart.

The Young Emperor knitted his little brow: ”Uncle, slandering the Empress Dowager is a serious crime.”

Regent Prince: ”My people saw it with their own eyes...”

”Where are they?”

”...” The Regent Prince was stuck.

Chuzheng’s icy gaze swept over, and the Regent Prince shivered instantly.

A chill rose from the depths of his heart.

What did she...

What exactly did she do?

What Chuzheng did was simple, just intercepting the person sent to find witnesses, tossing silver at them, and ensuring they could safely leave the palace, nothing difficult.

”Uncle, I am deeply disappointed in you.”

The Young Emperor wore a pained expression.

That little face looked truly disappointed in his family.

However, when the Regent Prince met the Young Emperor’s gaze, he shivered violently.

This was not the familiar look of the Young Emperor he knew.

This gaze...

Was too much like that of the late Emperor.

Wise and calm.

Even if immature, it still had the majesty of an emperor.

The Young Emperor had the Regent Prince taken back, forbidding him from meeting anyone.

This was complete soft imprisonment.

The Young Emperor ordered that no one was allowed to spread what the Regent Prince said.

He did not ask Chuzheng whether what the Regent Prince said was true.

With the Regent Prince under house arrest, his faction naturally had to advocate for him.

Chuzheng had Su Xue keep an eye on who belonged to the Regent Prince’s faction.

With so much happening, the weather was gradually cooling.

The Young Emperor decided to first return to the Imperial City.

When they went, the Regent Prince was in high spirits, but when they returned, he was sent back to his residence under house arrest, with heavy guards outside.

Upon returning, Noble Consort Xuan was sent to the Cold Palace, and the Young Emperor hadn’t yet decided how to deal with her.

The Regent Prince smashed quite a few things, and several of his subordinates did not dare to make a sound.

”Your Highness... what do we do now?”

The Regent Prince, after venting, calmed down a little.

”Go fetch Lord Qi to see me.”

”Yes.”

The Regent Prince paced the room, occasionally wincing from the pain reminding him of the suffering he endured.

When did the Young Emperor change?

In serious discussions, he was always impatient, pushing everything onto him, whining and demanding he handle it.

But...

”Your Highness.”

The Regent Prince’s thoughts were interrupted, and he turned around, but did not see the person he wanted to see.

”Where is Lord Qi?”

”Lord Qi... is ill,” the person replied.

”Ill?”

Is he really ill, or is it that he sees my current confinement and refuses to come!

Bang!

The few remaining objects in the room were completely destroyed.

The Regent Prince summoned several people to see him, but they all either fell ill or had various reasons, refusing to come.

Someone did want to see the Regent Prince.

Unfortunately, his official rank was too low to meet him.

On another front, Su Xue compiled a list of the Regent Prince’s faction members and handed it to Chuzheng.

With the list in hand, Chuzheng visited each one to talk.

If she didn’t deal with the Regent Prince, she would constantly be troubled with various issues.

To put an end to this trouble.

She had to deal with them now.

However, she found that some seemed to have already defected... It’s frustrating to have money without a way to spend it.

The most crucial point.

Their allegiance was now to Rong Shi.

What has the Good Person Card done behind my back?!

”What is Rong Shi up to?”

”I... I don’t know,” one minister shivered, ”Empress Dowager, I really don’t know. General Rong only told me that when needed, he would send someone to deliver a message.”

They all said the same thing.

Rong Shi didn’t specify what he wanted them to do, but he held leverage over them.

Chuzheng, with mixed feelings, communicated with the few remaining people.

Now what’s left is a reason to bring the Regent Prince down completely...

Chuzheng pondered for a long time, failing to think of anything better than doing it directly.

”Mother, what are you thinking about?”

”I’m thinking about how to give the Regent Prince a crime deserving of execution.”

Chuzheng was quite serious when she said this.

So much so, that the Young Emperor was stunned in place.

”Do you think rebellion would work?” Chuzheng asked the Young Emperor.

Re... Rebel?!

Mother, are you serious?

The Young Emperor felt his mother was serious.

”Mother, this is... framing, right?”

”Otherwise, how do we bring him down?” Chuzheng pushed the responsibility onto the Young Emperor: ”You’re the Emperor, you think.”

”...”

I don’t want to.

He’s still a child.

The Young Emperor curled himself up into a ball.

Discussing how to frame the Regent Prince here, is it really okay?

The Young Emperor couldn’t think of anything, so Chuzheng had to go with that.

”Mother, the people on Uncle’s side...”

Truly angering the Regent Prince, would he not rise up in revolt?

The Young Emperor was very worried about this.

Of course, deep down, he was indecisive.

After all, he was blood kin.

”Don’t worry, I’ll handle it.”

Chuzheng confidently assured.

The moment anyone from the Regent Prince’s side was found out, they were dealt with.

Not excluding some hidden loyalists of the Regent Prince.

But those few are insignificant.

Now the Regent Prince was almost like a bare-pole commander.

The bald little fairy commander is here to ask for votes.

You can’t just not vote for me because I’m cute!!
