Chapter 724 - I am the Empress. (2/2)
She stood on the side for an hour almost and watched the guards from afar, making them uncomfortable.
Her eyes lit up when a horse carriage stopped in front of the gate. The guards opened the gates wide to let the carriage enter the palace, opening an opportunity for her as well.
Her lips curled up as she pulled Lu shi with her, and looked at guards who were checking the carriage and were checking the contents in their luggage, which gave them time to leave the palace sneakily.

” Hooo!! Finally!” Zhao Ming sighed in relief as she finally managed to escape the palace with Lu shi following her.
” Why are there so many rules at the palace? We almost missed today's outing.” Zhao Ming said while looking at the people walking past her. It's been a long time for her to see so many people and watching them interact with each other.
She pursed her lips as the last time she came out of the palace was with Ji Cheng only. Now she was here with Lu shi only.
” Lu shi, let's go there. Seems like they are selling the sweet buns. I want to try that.” Zhao Ming pulled Lu shi to one of the stalls to try the items there.

Ji Cheng was sitting in the chamber and was listening to Wen Ru's trade report when Feng Ju asked for his permission.
He frowned and looked at him in disappointment, ” Feng Ju, you're here to interrupt me again? What is it this time?” he waited for him to handover some strange note again.
Feng Ju hesitated and said, ” It's about Her Majesty.”
” What about her?” Ji Cheng eyes him.
” A guard from the entrance gates came to me just now. They told me that Her Majesty was trying to leave the palace without permission and when they did not allow her, she sneakily went out seeing the guards busy, checking the carriage. ”
” They also told me that she did not have any guards with her. Only her maid Lu shi has followed her. They tried to find her but couldn't find out where she left.” he said while looking down, not daring to see Ji Cheng's expressions.
Ji Cheng's expressions darkened upon hearing his words. She went out without his permission?
” What? She went without any guards? What were they doing when she left the palace? How can they be so lousy letting her out of the palace so easily? Feng Ju, is this how you're taking care of the palace's security?” Ji Cheng shouted, startling Wen Ru.
” Your Majesty, calm down. Everything will be fine. I am sure Her Highness would not have gone much far. She will soon come back, don't worry.” Wen Ru tried to handle the situation.
