"Emperor, please tell the Ai family clearly today what kind of treasure Chu Shaoyang has stolen from you! If you tell me, Chu Shaoyang can't afford to pay for it, so the Ai family will pay it to you!"
Empress Dowager Zhou slammed the dragon-headed crutch in her hand and shouted sternly.
Mo Chuan was about to leave, but after hearing this, he turned around and looked at Empress Dowager Zhou intently.
"Mother, you can't afford to pay for such a thing." He said solemnly.
Empress Dowager Zhou sneered and said: "There is nothing in the world that the Yi family cannot afford to pay for. Tell me, what did Chu Shaoyang steal? He couldn't steal your queen's heart, right?"
The sarcasm in her tone couldn't be stronger.
Mo Chuan's face also darkened, and he looked straight at Queen Mother Zhou, with a cluster of flames burning in his deep black eyes.
"Mother, she is the girl that my son cares about most. If you can't love her and accept her, then please don't slander her or ridicule her. If you say or do this, you are hurting your son's heart. "He looked very serious and said every word.
Queen Mother Zhou was shocked. She looked at Mo Chuan coldly and said nothing.
Mo Chuan took a breath, calmed down, and said slowly: "Mother, you should have heard about the Northern Qi envoy coming to Kyoto."
Queen Mother Zhou nodded, softened her tone and said, "The Ai family knows."
She leaned on her crutches and sat down slowly, thinking that the girl named Shen was her son's rival. She thought that girl was a piece of grass, but her son thought she was a treasure! After thinking about it, it's all because I haven't gotten it yet.
But all men in this world are the same.
Before you get it, you always treat the other person as a golden phoenix in the sky, pampering and hurting you. But if you really get it, it won't take long before you feel boring and boring, and you will soon find a new love.
A man who eats meat is like a cat who eats meat, there is no one who is not greedy!
How could his son be an exception
Don't rush this matter. After his new enthusiasm for that girl Shen wears off, you can discuss the matter of Princess Zhaorong with him and figure it out slowly.
She had made up her mind, and her face softened, no longer targeting Shen Ning, and no longer sarcastic.
"Then Queen Mother, do you know the real purpose of the Northern Qi envoy coming to our Xi Chu?" Mo Chuan asked.
Queen Mother Zhou shook her head and said, "The Ai family doesn't know."
The envoy from the Northern Qi Dynasty sold the drawings of the five-gun crossbow to the Western Chu. The matter was kept secret by Mo Chuan except for a few people like Liao Liao.
Because this matter is too involved, especially it cannot be known to Dong Qin and Nanyue.
This five-gun crossbow is a secret weapon carefully prepared by Mo Chuan. When it appears on the battlefield, it will definitely be a blockbuster and exert an immeasurable effect.
So even Queen Mother Zhou didn't know anything about it.
Mo Chuan listened carefully and found that no one was eavesdropping nearby. Then he walked to Queen Mother Zhou and lowered his voice.
Queen Mother Zhou's heart trembled, knowing that what Mo Chuan was about to say must be something confidential. She looked up at Mo Chuan and listened attentively.
"The envoy from the Northern Qi Dynasty brought a very important blueprint for the five-gun crossbow to be sold to me, Xi Chu. However, the blueprint was stolen in the post house. According to what I heard, it was no one else who stole the blueprint. It’s Chu Shaoyang!”
"What?!"
Although Empress Dowager Zhou was always calm and composed, she accidentally dropped a tea cup on the ground and broke it into pieces.
