Shen Ning couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"I understand, master." She looked back at Gu Qingze, her heart filled with warmth. From his words, she could feel his deep concern for her.
"Go ahead."
Gu Qingze waved his hand, turned around with his back turned, and never looked at her again.
Shen Ning looked at his thin back, and her heart suddenly felt sour for some reason. She bowed down to his back and whispered: "Master, I'm leaving."
Gu Qingze didn't look back and just said "hmm".
She bit her lip, endured the reluctance in her heart, turned around and walked out quickly.
Waiting until her footsteps could no longer be heard, Gu Qingze slowly turned around, looked at the direction she left, and maintained that posture for a long time.
When Shen Ning returned to the palace, she went straight to the imperial study. She knew that Mo Chuan must be dealing with political affairs in the imperial study at this moment. Sure enough, when she rushed to the imperial study, she saw Xiao Si outside the door from a distance.
"Meet the Queen."
Xiao Si originally had a frown on his face, but when he saw Shen Ning, his eyes lit up.
"Queen, it's great that you are here. Come in and see the Emperor. The Emperor has entered the study since the morning and has not come out until now. The servants brought him lunch and tea, but the Emperor didn't take a bite. He even kicked the servant out. The servant is worried about the emperor. He works so hard but doesn’t eat or drink. How can his body bear it? "
"Really?" Shen Ning's eyes fell on the food box in his hand.
"What's in here?"
"These are the meals and snacks just delivered from the imperial kitchen, but the emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to enter and disturb them, so I dare not enter." Xiaosi replied.
"Give me the stuff."
Shen Ning took the food box and walked to the imperial study room. With a slight push, the door opened.
Xiaosi looked at her with worry, fearing that the emperor inside would lose his temper and kick the queen out.
Fortunately, the study was quiet, and Mo Chuan did not get angry, but just said lightly: "Close the door."
Xiao Si, who was guarding the door, hurriedly closed the door, secretly wiping a cold sweat, thinking that luckily the Queen came over at this time, and only the Queen could go in to appease the Emperor.
He ordered the guards on the left and right: "Stand farther away. The emperor and the queen don't like to be heard when they talk."
The guards immediately replied: "Yes."
Shen Ning entered the imperial study room, stepped inside, and opened the door curtain inside. She saw Mo Chuan resting his arms on the imperial desk, paying close attention to a large map on the table, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. He didn't look up when he heard her footsteps.
"Ning'er, why are you here?"
"Well, let me take a look at you."
As Shen Ning spoke, she walked closer with a food box, placed the food box on the Eight Immortals table aside, opened the lid, and placed the food and refreshments on the table.
The aroma of food hit her nose, and she suddenly felt hungry, and then she remembered that she hadn't eaten either.
"Mochuan, although state affairs are important, your body is even more important. If you don't have a full stomach, how can you have the energy to think about state affairs? Come, have a meal with me."
She walked over and took Mo Chuan's hand, speaking softly.
Mo Chuan finally looked up from the map and smiled at her.
"You haven't eaten either? Okay, let's eat together."
