"If the eldest lady likes it, I will embroider some more for you. What pattern do you like? I will embroider it right away!" Xiao Ru immediately burst into tears and smiled.
"Okay, I like orchids, plum blossoms, and the pattern of dragonflies standing on the tips of lotus flowers." Shen Ning said with a smile.
"My slave, go and embroider now." Xiao Ru ran back to the room with a smile on her face.
Shen Ning watched her leave with a smile, and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this girl had a simple mind and was coaxed by him.
After returning to the room, after waiting for a while, Zhui Feng brought news about Mo Chuan.
It turned out that Empress Dowager Zhou was ill, so she left Mochuan in Shoukang Palace to attend to her illness, and Xiaosi also stayed in Shoukang Palace.
Hearing this, Shen Ning frowned.
She remembered that when she went to visit Queen Mother Zhou in the morning, although Queen Mother Zhou was in low spirits due to lack of sleep, she was full of breath when she was driven out of the palace, and she did not look sick at all.
But the Queen Mother is ill, why can't she visit her
She stood up and walked out, saying, "Zhui Feng, tell people to prepare the sedan. I want to visit the Queen Mother."
Zhui Feng hesitated for a moment and said, "The Queen Mother has ordered that no one is allowed to disturb her recovery. It would be better for the Queen Mother not to go."
"Oh?" Shen Ning stopped and turned around: "Then what did the emperor say?"
"The Emperor asked his subordinates to come back and report to the Queen Mother. He will stay in the Shoukang Palace tonight to serve the Queen Mother and let the Queen Mother rest early. Also, the Emperor has placed secret guards inside and outside the palace. The Queen Mother can rest in peace. No more worries.”
Shen Ning was silent and thought that the Queen Mother Zhou's illness was strange. If she was really sick, why didn't she call the imperial doctor instead of asking Mo Chuan to stay and take care of her
This was obviously an excuse to keep Mo Chuan in Shoukang Palace and separate himself from Mo Chuan.
But why would she do this? What is the purpose
When she saw Zhui Feng was about to retreat, she suddenly remembered something and stopped him.
"Besides the emperor, who else is staying in Shoukang Palace to attend to his illness?"
Zhui Feng hesitated and said: "Subordinate... I don't know."
Shen Ning had already guessed: "There is also Princess Zhaorong, right?"
Zhui Feng didn't answer, just lowered his head, not daring to look into Shen Ning's eyes.
She sneered slightly, it turned out that Queen Mother Zhou had this idea!
Using the excuse of illness to create time and opportunities for Mo Chuan and Zhao Rong to get along was really a well-intentioned move.
Mo Chuan was extremely filial to his mother. Even though he knew that Queen Mother Zhou might be pretending to be ill, she still had to stay and serve her.
"I understand, you can go down." She waved her hand.
Zhui Feng breathed a sigh of relief and walked out as if he had been granted amnesty.
"Wait a minute!"
"What other orders does the Queen have?" Zhui Feng couldn't help but choked and turned around.
Shen Ning's face was very peaceful, with no sign of anger or annoyance. Her eyes fell on Zhui Feng's face, looking him up and down.
The probing look in his eyes made Zhui Feng feel anxious and uncomfortable all over.
But he still kept his composure and remained silent.
Shen Ning took out Xiao Ruxiu's purse and originally wanted him to accept it, but she changed her mind when she saw the blank expression on his face.
This purse is Xiao Ru's gratitude to him. Since this guy doesn't appreciate it, why waste Xiao Ru's efforts
"It's nothing, you can go out." She said calmly.
Zhui Feng immediately disappeared without a trace.
