Chapter 744: Meeting the Cliff Eagle
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Princess Ruyi heard the Empress Dowager’s voice, she was stunned. She did not expect to encounter the Empress Dowager in such a remote hunting ground. She cursed in her heart. In the recent past, Princess Ruyi had been trying to improve her relationship with both the Empress Dowager and the Empress in hopes of gaining their favor. She aimed to build goodwill so that in the future, when she established her own residence or selected a husband, they would support her decisions.
If she could obtain the help of these two, she would not have to worry about the rest of her life.
Accustomed to her usual arrogant behavior, Princess Ruyi had previously relied on others to cover up for her actions. However, within the palace, not only was there no one to shield her, but her bad reputation had also spread widely.
Not only was the aggrieved Princess Ruyi punished by the Empress Dowager, but she was also punished by the Empress. After copying the scriptures, she was made to kneel again and again in the ancestral hall.
She knew that she could not show her face in front of these two for the time being until they forgot what she had done.
It was also unintentionally that Princess Ruyi heard that before the Empress entered the inner palace, she was once a valiant little female general. During the chaotic period of the Great Chang, the Empress even raised her spear and went into battle, beheading the rebel army leader. For a moment, she was in the limelight.
Later, within the palace, the affairs became increasingly busy, and the Empress hadn’t left the palace for many years. Her fondness for horse training also remained unfulfilled.
When Princess Ruyi heard that a good second-grade horse had recently come to this hunting ground, she wanted to come here first to pick a fierce horse and tame it before giving it to the Empress. Perhaps she could gain a favorable impression.
But now, everything is over. She was unlucky to have offended the Empress Dowager again.
Turning around, Princess Ruyi saw Ah Yu and her heart skipped a beat.
Wow. She knew that the Empress Dowager had not come to this hunting ground in thousands of years. Why did she suddenly come today and even catch her tail? It was actually this scheming woman who was harming her!
She was too detestable.
She wanted to be a good princess and not bully others, but this wild girl actually came to harm her.
“Alright, put away your uneducated face. Your thoughts are written all over your face. Are you afraid that others won’t know what you’re up to again?” The Empress Dowager waved at Princess Ruyi in particular disdain. “Step aside. My eyes are swollen just by looking at you.”
Princess Ruyi bowed aggrievedly. “Yes.”
Then, she retreated to the side and watched as the Empress Dowager instructed someone to bring the Cliff Eagle over.
Just as Princess Ruyi was feeling depressed, a white jade bottle suddenly appeared in front of her. The bottle was petite, about the size of a thumb, and its lid was equally small. However, the jade bottle was exquisitely carved into the likeness of a rabbit, with every detail of the rabbit’s fur intricately depicted, giving it a comforting and pleasant appearance.
She subconsciously reached out to take it, thinking that it was a plaything. When she turned around and saw that the person who gave the bottle was actually All Yu, her smile froze.
However, she did not let go. “I know that what happened today was definitely your doing. Don’t think that 1’11 forgive you just because you gave me such a small thing!”
Ah Yu said helplessly, “You’re overthinking it. This is the Gold Wound Powder, and it also has the effect of dispelling external evils. Here, use it like this.”
As she spoke, Ah Yu took the bottle back and opened the lid. She pulled Princess Ruyi’s hand and poured the golden powder on it. Then, she casually took a mini handkerchief and tied an ugly bandage for Princess Ruyi.
After doing it, All Yu put the bottle away and stuffed it into her sling bag.
Princess Ruyi stared at her bag.
“My grandfather made this bottle for me. It’s the only one in the world, so I naturally can’t give it to you.” Seeing that Princess Ruyi was still looking at her bag, she moved it back. “My mother sewed this bag for me, so 1 can’t give it to you either.”
Princess Ruyi:”…” Do I look like someone who wants your things so much?
She was a princess. What could she not have?
Tsk.
“Stingy,” she muttered.
Ah Yu rubbed her ears. “What did you say?”
“It’s nothing. 1 said, don’t think that such a small matter can make me—”
Before she could finish speaking, she heard someone shout, “It’s out.”
Ah Yu saw the huge creature that had been lured out and looked at the scratch on Princess Ruyi’s finger. She said sincerely, “You were injured by it, but you only injured your finger? Looks like it doesn’t really hate you.”
Princess Ruyi felt inexplicably guilty. “i guess so?”
Actually, it was just that when she came, the beast happened to flap its wings and fan up a piece of wood which injured her.
[Kid, the lifespan of a Cliff Eagle can reach more than a hundred years. It’s only in its forties now, and it’s at the peak of its youth.. It’ll be easy to use it to send a message!]
