"The Queen Mother, the medicine prescribed by the ancient miraculous doctor has been boiled, and my servant has brought it to you. The ancient miraculous doctor said that this medicine should be drunk while it is hot, so that the medicine will be most effective."
There was a gentle knock on the room, and Sujin's voice sounded softly outside.
The crutches raised by Queen Mother Zhou suddenly stopped in mid-air. She gasped and glared at Mo Chuan.
She was a little reluctant to fight him, but if she didn't fight, she wouldn't be able to lose face.
At this moment, Su Jin opened the door and walked in. When she saw Queen Mother Zhou raising her crutches, her face was still calm. She was already used to this kind of situation.
She walked to Queen Mother Zhou carrying the tray, took the crutch from Queen Mother Zhou's hand, and handed the medicine bowl into her hand.
"Empress Dowager, take the medicine."
She moved the ladder just right, which just relieved the Empress Dowager Zhou's embarrassment.
Mo Chuan smiled slightly, picked up a plate of preserves from the table, and handed it to Queen Mother Zhou.
"Mother, after drinking the medicine, eat a piece of candied fruit. The medicine will not feel bitter."
The anger in Queen Mother Zhou's heart suddenly disappeared. Although she continued to have a straight face, her eyes were no longer sharp.
She snorted, picked up the medicine bowl, drank every drop of the medicine in the bowl, put the bowl down, and didn't even look at the candied fruit that Mo Chuan brought to her.
Mo Chuan was not annoyed, put down the candied fruit, waved his sleeves and stood up.
"Since the Queen Mother does not want to see my son, I will leave first and come back another day to pay my respects to the Queen Mother."
Queen Mother Zhou shouted: "Stop! The Ai family has something to say and they haven't finished talking yet."
Mo Chuan turned around and smiled calmly: "You can keep the Queen's words in your stomach first, and then listen to the Queen's teachings after I catch Chu Shaoyang."
Empress Dowager Zhou gritted her teeth and said: "Okay, when you grow up, you don't care about what the Ai family says, but the Ai family only needs you to promise one thing, that is, no matter what, you can't hurt Chu Shaoyang." Life, can you do it?"
Mo Chuan looked solemn and said in a cold voice: "As long as he doesn't do anything like surrendering to the enemy and treason, I will never kill him, but if he really does it... Then please forgive me for killing my relatives out of justice!"
Empress Dowager Zhou stared at him, unable to help but speechless. She waved her hand and sighed: "You go down. No matter what, the Ai family hopes that you will think twice before you act."
Mo Chuan bowed again and retreated.
Empress Dowager Zhou held Su Jin's hand and sat down slowly, her expression dejected, as if she had suddenly aged much.
"The Queen Mother, the ancient miracle doctor said that after taking the medicine, you'd better go to bed and rest and don't worry about it." Su Jin knew that the mother and son were talking about national affairs, so she couldn't ask more questions, but seeing that the Queen Mother Zhou didn't look right, she He advised softly.
But when Empress Dowager Zhou learned about Chu Shaoyang, her heart was shaking like a volcano erupting. How could she find peace of mind and sleep
She rubbed her forehead irritably, feeling a sharp pain in her temples.
"Queen Mother, please go to bed and lie down, and my servant will help you rub it." Su Jin looked at Queen Mother Zhou and became more and more worried.
"Um."
Empress Dowager Zhou followed her instructions and sat on the bed, closing her eyes. Sujin grabbed a handful of spices and put them into the incense burner. A quiet and elegant aroma spread in the room. After smelling it, her mind slowly became calmer.
She gently massaged Empress Dowager Zhou's forehead, while Empress Dowager Zhou closed her eyes to rest, neither of them spoke.
