"Mo Chuan, what's wrong?" Shen Ning followed his gaze and looked over.
"Someone is coming." Mo Chuan's ears could reach far away, and he had already heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from the palace road.
Sure enough, not long after, a eunuch with a sharp voice was heard outside the door and said loudly: "According to the oral instructions of the Queen Mother, the Emperor Xuan has an audience at Shoukang Palace."
"The Queen Mother is looking for me?" Mo Chuan frowned. His first thought was, Queen Mother Zhou will not force herself to marry Zhaorong again, right
But then he thought, absolutely not!
At this moment, Empress Dowager Zhou must have known about Zhaorong's scandal in the Anqing Palace that day, and she would never force herself again.
If it's not for Zhaorong, then it must be for Chu Shaoyang.
This was another thing that gave him a big headache. Once the Queen Mother Zhou knew that Chu Shaoyang had defected to South Vietnam with the blueprints and was very likely to lead troops to attack Western Chu, the Queen Mother Zhou would definitely be furious and would also This blame fell on Shen Ning's head.
But when Empress Dowager Zhou summoned him, he couldn't hide. What's more, there was no airtight wall in this palace. Once Chu Shaoyang really led his troops, the whole world would be shocked. Sooner or later, news of such a big event would reach Zhou. into the Queen Mother's ears.
Rather than making Queen Mother Zhou shocked and angry, it would be better for him to reveal the key points to Queen Mother Zhou first, so as not to worry Queen Mother Zhou.
"Ning'er, wait for me here while I go to see my mother."
Shen Ning nodded, opened the medical book left by Gu Qingze, and smiled quietly: "I will wait here for your return."
Seeing her calm smile, Mo Chuan suddenly felt more confident in his heart. He was willing to give everything to protect her from harm and keep such a smile on her face forever.
He followed the eunuch who came to deliver the order to Shoukang Palace, and when he left, he put the two military books handwritten by Shen Ning in his sleeves and took them with him.
When they arrived at Shoukang Palace, dinner had just been delivered to the Empress Dowager Zhou's palace. When she saw Mo Chuan entering the palace, the Empress Dowager Zhou greeted him to sit down with a smile on her face.
"Emperor, you are here just in time. The Ai family specially ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare some of your favorite dishes. You can stay in the Ai family's palace to eat."
Mo Chuan saw that the Empress Dowager Zhou was looking very good, with a rosy complexion and sparkling eyes, and knew that this was all due to Gu Qingze's dose of medicine.
"Okay, the food in the mother's harem is very good. Every time I come to Shoukang Palace to eat, I will eat two more bowls."
He sat down with a smile, smiled at Queen Mother Zhou and said, "How have you been these past two days, Queen Mother? Are you feeling any discomfort?"
Empress Dowager Zhou personally brought a dish to him and said with a smile: "The Ai family has slept very well in the past two days. They always fell asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow."
"Does the queen still feel headache?" Mo Chuan asked with concern.
He knew that Empress Dowager Zhou's headache was an old problem. Whenever she was in a bad mood or was emotional, she would have a splitting headache. This problem had followed Empress Dowager Zhou for more than 20 years. Since he was a child, he often saw Su Jin. Help Queen Mother Zhou massage her forehead.
"It's strange to say that this old problem has never happened in the past few days. If you don't mention it, the Ai family will hardly remember it."
Queen Mother Zhou looked at Su Jin who was serving at the side and asked, "Do you remember how long it has been since the Ai family had this old habit?"
Su Jin thought for a while and replied: "The Queen Mother has never had a headache since she took the medicine prescribed by the ancient miracle doctor."
