After a day and half of speeding towards the capital, Chen You's carriage stopped for what she thought was another short break. But then she then heard the Empress dowager's voice, "Drag her out."
Chen You and the maids immediately froze in fear. The door then opened and Chen You saw the Empress dowager ahead of them sitting on a horse glaring at the carriage, with a large number of troops behind her.
The three girls inside the carriage immediately gulped.
"Concubine Chen, please get down!" A soldier respectfully said.
Chen You hesitated and the Empress dowager got irritated and barked, "I said drag her out!"
They all jumped and Chen You speedily got down on her own, she took a deep breath as she shakily walked over to where the Empress dowager was now standing.
With the Empress dowager here, Chen You could sense that this issue was a lot more troublesome than she had thought. She had expected that this encounter to take place in the palace, where the Emperor was.
