Chapter 1401: Chapter 1401: The Regent’s Powerful Wife (11)

The Regent Prince groaned in pain.

He couldn’t make a sound.

Chuzheng calmly added a kick, directly kicking the Regent Prince into the flower bushes nearby.

Chuzheng bent down to meet the gaze of the person in the bushes: ”Prince, do you know where you went wrong?”

The Regent Prince was still reeling from the pain, at this moment he could only grit his teeth and glare at Chuzheng.

”You shouldn’t have come alone to find me.”

Chuzheng said leisurely,

The Regent Prince: ”...”

”But I like when you come alone to find me.” Although it was a bit of a strange sentence, spoken by Chuzheng, it sounded completely arrogant.

The Regent Prince could only watch as Chuzheng walked away with swagger.

There’s no denying that the Regent Prince underestimated her.

Of course, in his subconscious, he also believed that Chuzheng, being the Empress Dowager, wouldn’t do anything outrageous in broad daylight.

Besides, he didn’t say anything at all!

Good for you!

Nie Chuzheng, we’ll see who wins.

”The Prince has great taste.”

Suddenly a shadow fell across the Regent Prince’s view.

Rong Shi was suddenly standing outside, watching him.

The Regent Prince’s forehead twitched, he didn’t need to look to know how disheveled he appeared at this moment.

He instinctively wanted to get up, but after two tries he just fell back down.

Rong Shi showed no intention of offering a hand, simply stood looking down at him.

Though there was no expression on his face, to the Regent Prince, he seemed to be mocking him.

”Rong Shi...”

”Take your time enjoying the flowers, Prince.” Rong Shi tossed out this remark and left in another direction, the ornaments at his waist clinking crisply as he moved.

”...”

Enjoy the flowers, what is there to enjoy?

It’s infuriating.

After being scratched by that little girl, he now encounters Rong Shi and lets him see him in this state.

The Regent Prince was so furious his face turned ashen.

He finally managed to crawl out of the bushes, only to bump into a flock of palace maids and eunuchs who had suddenly appeared, catching him in his disheveled state.

”What are you looking at?!”

The Regent Prince darkened his face.

The palace maids and eunuchs promptly lowered their heads and left.

Once the palace maids and eunuchs left, the Regent Prince immediately bent over, his expression contorting.

”What is Rong Shi doing in the palace?”

The Regent Prince suddenly turned to look in the direction Rong Shi had come from, over there is... Yilan Palace.

It seems the royal family are natural actors and conspirators.

The Young Emperor, under Chuzheng’s rather irresponsible guidance, came to understand the true face of the Regent Prince, and surprisingly learned in a very short time how to deal with him.

Though Chuzheng’s teaching was rough.

But the Young Emperor somehow grasped it.

Far more effective than Yang De’s slow boil technique.

Except the Young Emperor suddenly stopped being enthusiastic about Noble Consort Xuan and kept running to Chuzheng, which annoyed her greatly.

”Empress Dowager, Princess Yudie requests an audience.”

Chuzheng lounged on the Consort Chair, rocking slowly, before responding: ”Who?”

The Young Emperor wasn’t around, finally some peace and quiet.

And now who has popped up from some corner.

Why can’t they leave a weak and helpless little soul like me alone?

”Princess Yudie, from Yilan Palace.” Su Xue reminded.

”Do I know her?”

What Yudie Yulan nonsense.

”...” Su Xue smiled: ”Empress Dowager, you’ve met her before, she came to pay her respects to you previously, think carefully.”

”...”

Chuzheng scoured the original host’s memories.

Finally found a matching one.

The previous Emperor only had one boy, but many princesses.

The oldest is already married.

The youngest is two years younger than the Young Emperor.

The concubines were forced to follow the previous Emperor in death, so now those unmarried princesses live in the palace on their own.

These princesses only showed their faces initially.

The original host refused to be called ’Mother’ by young girls about her age, and the little girls who had just lost their mother did not want to see the original host either.

So these princesses basically didn’t come to pay respects.

The number of times the original host saw them could be counted on one hand.

”Why is she seeing me?”

All of a sudden, coming over to see me... planning to harm me?

Su Xue: ”This servant doesn’t know, will you see her?”

Chuzheng sat up, fanned herself for a while, pondering: ”Let her come in then.”

Princess Yudie is fourteen this year, already at the age for discussing marriage, and she blossomed into someone pretty.

”Yudie greets Mother.”

The little girl respectfully performed the grand ceremony.

”Stand up, sit down.”

”Thank you, Mother.”

Yudie sat down stiffly, always keeping her head down, not daring to look at Chuzheng.

The original host remembered Princess Yudie’s mother wasn’t one who followed the previous Emperor into death.

As far as the original host knew, she seemed to have died of illness...

The original host hadn’t been in the palace long, so she didn’t know much about these palace secrets.

Chuzheng didn’t speak, nor did Princess Yudie make a sound.

The two sat in silence.

Chuzheng sighed and finally spoke: ”Is there a reason you came to see me?”

Princess Yudie seemed startled.

She first glanced at her with tiny movements, then quickly dropped her gaze again.

She carefully pulled out a small sandalwood box from her sleeve: ”Yudie just came to see Mother, this is a gift for you...”

Su Xue stepped forward and handed the box to Chuzheng.

Inside lay a red jade bracelet, smooth to the touch, with a glossy and lustrous finish - a truly rare gem.

”Nothing else?”

”No... nothing.” Princess Yudie shook her head and stood up cautiously: ”Yudie takes her leave.”

Chuzheng asked Su Xue to escort her out.

Once Su Xue returned, Chuzheng examined the bracelet.

”Su Xue.”

”Empress Dowager.”

”Could a princess without protection afford such a bracelet?”

Su Xue felt it was hard to say, she could only cautiously guess: ”Maybe it’s a keepsake from Princess Yudie’s mother.”

Chuzheng returned the bracelet to the box: ”Then why did she give it to me?”

”...”

This was something Su Xue truly didn’t know.

Chuzheng asked Su Xue to put the bracelet away, regardless of the reason, just put it away.

But the next day, Princess Yudie appeared during the usual greeting time.

Upon noticing Chuzheng’s wrist wasn’t adorned with the bracelet, she seemed obviously disappointed.

Young girls show their emotions so plainly, everything is written on their faces.

In the following days, Princess Yudie checked in daily.

Every few days she brought something.

Sometimes it was gold, silver, and jewels, sometimes just a box of snacks.

After observing for a few days, Chuzheng finally figured it out.

She was clearly trying to curry favor.

But what can be gained from pleasing me?

As the Empress Dowager, I don’t have any real power.

”Mother.”

The Young Emperor rushed in from outside, with Eunuch Yang De panting heavily behind him.

Princess Yudie rose hurriedly, bowing in salute.

The Young Emperor was surprised: ”Imperial Sister, why are you here?”

Princess Yudie replied in a soft voice: ”I came to pay respects to Mother.”

”Oh, I see.” The Young Emperor wasn’t particularly interested in Princess Yudie, he turned to Chuzheng: ”Mother, I brought you some tasty treats, will you eat them?”

Chuzheng’s face hardened as she refused: ”No.”

What if it’s poisoned.

The Young Emperor beckoned for the others to bring the things forward, also presenting a few memorials.

Chuzheng: ”!!”

You unfilial son!

I knew they were poisoned!
