Empress Running Away with the Ball! - Chapter 1022

Chapter 1022 Stupid Donkey

Xiao Si and Zhuifeng were shocked when they heard Mochuan’s words.

“Emperor, you…… really want to leave the capital? If the Empress Dowager finds out, she definitely will not agree.”

Xiao Si’s chin was about to drop. His first reaction was if Empress Dowager Zhou found out, he would be beaten up again. Empress Dowager Zhou wouldn’t blame the Emperor for leaving the capital, but she would certainly put the charge of instigating the Emperor to leave the capital on him.

“Then don’t tell the Empress Dowager yet. Xiao Si, you stay in the capital. Tell Muhou [Imperial mother, how Emperors refer to the Empress Dowager] after we leave the capital.”

Mochuan nodded and agreed with Xiao Si.

Xiao Si immediately knelt on the ground. His face was bitter as he said, “Emperor, take Xiao Si with you when you leave the capital. Have Zhuifeng tell the Empress Dowager that you’re leaving the capital instead.”

Zhuifeng was anxious once he heard. He knelt down. “Emperor, this subordinate is your secret guard. This subordinate’s duty is to protect your safety. Of course this subordinate will be where you are, Emperor.”

Zhuifeng glared hard at Xiao Si. He thought that this little fox was too wicked. Wasn’t he just pushing him into the fire?! And he really treated Xiao Si as a brother too. Huh!

“Mochuan, you are the monarch of a country. You have many things waiting for you to take care of. A country also cannot go one day without having a monarch. You cannot leave the capital. Let me go find the godly doctor instead.”

Chen Ning shook her head at Mochuan with a face of disagreement.

“Do you think that I can let you take the risk alone? Do you know how far the godly doctor is? Do you know what dangers there are? You are a weak woman who doesn’t know martial arts. How am I supposed to rest assured?” Mochuan looked deeply at her.

“I won’t be alone. I’m bringing Zhuifeng. His qinggong [light flying skills] is good and his martial arts are high. Moreover, we’re just going to ask the godly doctor to save someone and not to go there and fight. What dangers will we encounter?

“Even if we encounter those small thieves on the road, they won’t be Zhuifeng’s opponent. Hey, Zhuifeng. It can’t be that you can’t even handle small thieves, right?” Chen Ning was carefree as she asked.

A touch of pride flashed across Zhuifeng’s face. “What small thieves? This subordinate can take on a hundred of them!”

“Zhuifeng, you’re so powerful.” Chen Ning praised him. Zhuifeng felt smug and conceited.

Xiao Si lowered his head and suppressed his smile. He scolded in his heart: Big fool!

“Mochuan, what do you have to worry about when Zhuifeng is there to protect me? He’s the best secret guard around you. Do you think Zhuifeng’s martial arts aren’t good enough and that he can’t protect me?” Chen Ning asked.

Mochuan was unmoved.

Zhuifeng was anxious. “Emperor, this subordinate will absolutely protect the Empress and won’t let her lose a hair!”

Xiao Si’s head hung lower. His smile gradually expanded.

He was feeling more and more sympathetic towards Zhuifeng. The Empress casually said a sentence and he took it so seriously. He would definitely suffer on this trip.

“Fine. Zhuifeng, Zhen will hand the Empress’ safety over to you. If she is missing one hair, Zhen will hold you responsible!” Mochuan stared at Zhuifeng.

Zhuifeng suddenly froze. He blinked and blinked before finally reacting.

He couldn’t help but smack his own head. He felt that he was a stupid donkey. Someone hadn’t put the harness on him yet, but he went ahead, stuck his head into the harness, and started turning the grindstone himself.
