Chapter 714 Cliff Eagle
Ayu went to the palace to find the Empress Dowager because she wanted to know if Wang Chuangui and Wang Wulang's group were safe. Now, let's get back to the main topic.

Empress Dowager: "I thought you had forgotten about this. Don't worry, I have already sent people over. In two or three months, you will know whether they are still alive or not."

"...Two or three months is too long, Your Majesty. I heard that you have something that might reduce the time from two or three months to six or seven days."

"How come I didn't know such a thing existed?" If messages that take two or three months to transmit could be delivered in six or seven days, countless troubles would be saved in this world.

Ayu: "You really have one! Do you know that there is an animal called a cliff eagle? I heard that you are the only place in the whole of Dachang that has it. If you let it be responsible for delivering messages, let alone a short message that takes six or seven days, even if it brings a person with it, it should be very easy."

"A cliff eagle?" Old Mrs. Wang looked at the Empress Dowager in surprise. "You still keep that thing?"

Queen Mother: "..."

If Ayu hadn't brought it up, the Empress Dowager would have almost forgotten that there was such a little guy.

Speaking of which, the cliff eagle was given to the Empress Dowager by Old Madam Wang when Princess Yongchang was fourteen years old, during a hunting trip with the late Emperor and others.

Her hunting skills were also extremely high. She rode a long way by herself, and just when everyone was holding their breath for her, Princess Yongchang returned with a chick.

“I remember that thing was smaller than the palm of my hand back then. I only heard from hunters that if it was raised well, it could grow to be huge. But over the years, no one has ever actually seen what a cliff eagle looks like when it grows up. Most of it is just hearsay,” said Grandma Wang. “I just gave it to you casually back then. I don’t know where you lost it.”

The Empress Dowager sighed, "I did take good care of it for a while, but the chick didn't grow much. Later, someone said it was always picky about food or throwing tantrums, so I thought it wouldn't survive and stopped caring for it. Speaking of which, little girl, how could you know about things that I don't even remember?"

Despite saying that, the Empress Dowager still summoned her maid and asked if the cliff eagle still existed. To her astonishment, the creature was still there after forty years.

The maid's tone was somewhat strained: "Your Majesty, 20 years ago I reported to you that the creature was quite large, and keeping it in the palace might harm other nobles. So we asked you for your permission, and you said it would be fine to keep it in the hunting grounds. Now 20 years have passed. Every few months, someone comes to report on its condition. Just last month, someone reported that the cliff eagle is living very well in the hunting grounds."

If that's the case, then there's nothing to doubt.

The Empress Dowager, along with Old Lady Wang, Ayu, and a few others, headed to the hunting grounds to see if the old man, who was already forty years old, was still as imposing as Ayu had described.

They traveled light, so no one knew that the Empress Dowager was coming to the hunting grounds.

Just as she stepped outside, she heard an arrogant and domineering voice: "This princess says I'll stew it, and I'll stew it! This ignorant fool dared to harm this princess! Tonight, I'm going to have soup made from it. Anyone who doesn't comply with this princess's demands will have their head chopped off tonight!"

"Princess, you mustn't! You mustn't! This is a precious item raised by the Empress Dowager!"

"Hmph, what kind of precious item could it be? It's just a molting beast. Could a beast be more valuable than this princess?"

Just then, the Empress Dowager's voice rang out sternly: "That beast is naturally more precious than you."
