Chapter 2731: Chapter 2731: Go Back!

"What?!"

The Empress Dowager turned her gaze back in disbelief, looking towards the Retired Emperor.

This is the Retired Emperor, once the ruler of the Daqing Kingdom, how could he end up like this?

"Who dared to harm the Retired Emperor, Eunuch Fu?"

"It was those two."

Eunuch Fu gestured toward the two Paper Persons.

"They..."

"They were placed by Prince An Yang by the Retired Emperor’s side, just to keep an eye on him and prevent him from contacting the outside world."

The Empress Dowager was about to lose her temper when she heard Eunuch Fu continue speaking, and immediately shut her mouth. She didn’t want to confront Prince An Yang; that woman could do whatever she pleased not just in Wulong Mountain, but also here, and she wasn’t someone the Empress Dowager could speak carelessly about.

"Empress Dowager, those two don’t care who anyone here belongs to; if anyone tries to contact the outside, they will be beaten, and not lightly, but to death."

Eunuch Fu reminded the Empress Dowager again.

"It’s only because the Retired Emperor’s body is strong, otherwise... alas, the Retired Emperor is too disobedient, this is just... forget it, Empress Dowager, you’d better stay here to watch over the Retired Emperor.

After all, a hundred days of gratitude follow a day of marriage, and now that the Retired Emperor is injured, it’s down to you to take care of him. I have important matters at the Emperor’s side, so I will take my leave first."

Saying so, he then dismissed all the palace maids and eunuchs brought by the Empress Dowager, except for her personal few.

"You..."

The Empress Dowager watched Eunuch Fu leave, dumbfounded.

For a long time, she couldn’t say a word, then turned her head to look at the unconscious Retired Emperor, and immediately, her face turned unsightly.

Was she deceived? It wasn’t the Retired Emperor who requested her presence, but the Emperor’s decision. Was this a warning for her meddling in the Gong family’s affairs?

"I still need to return to Cining Palace; there are matters waiting for me there..."

She didn’t want to stay in the Supreme Palace to accompany a half-dead Retired Emperor. The Emperor’s actions indicated he had made up his mind to tie her and the Retired Emperor together.

If she foolishly stayed, wouldn’t she be playing into the Emperor’s hands?

However, by the time she wanted to leave, it was already too late. Before she could exit, the two Paper Persons stood expressionlessly.

"Go back!"

Their cold gazes frightened the Empress Dowager, making her involuntarily take a step back.

A shiver ran through her heart; after the Retired Emperor, would she also be imprisoned by the Emperor, and not in the familiar Cining Palace, but in the Supreme Palace?

Facing the two who stared at her as if looking at a dead person, the more she thought about it, the more possible it seemed.

"Step aside, I need to return to Cining Palace to fetch some clothes, you..."

"Empress Dowager, Eunuch Fu will certainly send someone to bring your belongings; you’d better rest assured and stay here. These two were left by Prince An Yang. They only obey Prince An Yang and Prince Zhan. If you go against their wishes, you will indeed be beaten."

One of the eunuchs watching over the Retired Emperor stepped out to remind the Empress Dowager.

Do not end up like the Retired Emperor, where instead of attending to the sick, you end up recuperating in the Supreme Palace as well. The Retired Emperor’s strong body can withstand a few beatings.

But with the Empress Dowager’s body, if these two hit her, whether she would survive is uncertain.

"You... you damn things, is this your place to speak?" The Empress Dowager turned her head, glaring angrily at the two young eunuchs, questioning.
