"Yes!" An imperial guard immediately approached the kneeling palace maid. He covered her mouth and dragged her out of sight, causing the two confidants in the room to tremble. They did not dare to even breathe too loudly.

"If Mother Empress is angry, the responsibility should be placed upon Er Chen** since I was responsible for the incident. Why involve other innocent people?"

(**ed: Er Chen 儿臣- a first person pronoun employed by a male sovereign when speaking to an empress mother, queen mother, empress dowager, queen dowager, or the like... so basically Gong Che refers to himself as Er Chen )

Gong Che's words bore down on her like a heavy hammer. The empress fell upon her chair, eyes filled with panic.

"What you say is true? Your Father Emperor values this mission deeply?"

Gong Che nodded. "Back then, when the Chaoyang Princess informed Er Chen about the matter, Er Chen didn't agree without carefully considering. She had never left the palace and yet was already aware of the movements in the capital a few months ago. Moreover, not only did she asked Er Chen to help her, she also was able to tacitly obtain the emperor's help. Therefore, Er Chen chose to take advantage of the situation and help her. Er Chen was not aware that Mother Empress involved in the matter... Why did you not tell me?!"

The Empress became more flustered and nervous, "This... How could I let you take part in this kind of affair? You're the Crown Prince! But... if what you say is true, what should we do now?" The more she thought of the matter, the more frightened she felt. The Empress' forehead was now covered in a layer of cold sweat.

Her maiden family's decline in power caused her to become paranoid due to past experiences of being schemed against. However, now she had made a serious blunder. As she considered her dire circumstance, she was sure that Long Gui Fei and Liu Xian Fei would use such an opportunity to deal a blow against her!

Deeper fear overcame the Empress as cold sweat condensed on her forehead. Gong Jue couldn't bear to see her so frightened and softly said, "Mother Empress, don't be afraid. Once the supplies are safely delivered, the matter will be over."

If was just ordinary corruption, as long as there was no one fanning the flames from behind their backs, nothing should happen.

Gong Che thought of something and urgently said, "This matter is very important. Since the Ninth Prince has already safely exited the Capital, I suggest that Mother immediately order your men to quickly retreat so as to not expose your hand in the matter."
