Mo Chuan originally thought that Queen Mother Zhou would ask about Chu Shaoyang, but after finishing the meal and eating the bird's nest stewed by Su Jin herself, Queen Mother Zhou never mentioned the three words "Chu Shaoyang".
He secretly wondered if he was thinking too much? The Queen Mother Zhou called her here, just to have a meal with her and talk a few common words
The Queen Mother Zhou waited for him to drink another cup of tea and then said: "Emperor, you are busy with political affairs, so the Ai family will not keep you much. The Ai family will be very happy that you can have a meal with the Ai family today and chat for a while. You don’t need to come here every day to pay your respects these days, everything should be done first.”
Mo Chuan stood up and bowed respectfully: "My son, I understand. Please rest in peace, my queen. I, my son, leave."
Empress Dowager Zhou nodded slightly and said, "Good boy, go ahead."
Mo Chuan looked at the kind smiling face of the Empress Dowager Zhou Guangzhi, and couldn't help but feel sour in his heart. He secretly thought that if Chu Shaoyang really launched an army to rebel, he was afraid that he would never see such a smile on his mother's face again.
"Mother, please take good care of yourself. Your son and I will come to visit you when you are free."
He said something more earnestly, then turned around and left Shoukang Palace.
Along the way, he recalled the more than an hour he spent with the Queen Mother Zhou. The mother and son were surprisingly harmonious, and the Queen Mother Zhou also took the initiative to mention Shen Ning's name. Although there was still a slight dissatisfaction in her tone, it was not like before. He scolded loudly and had an angry look on his face, which clearly meant that he wanted to accept Ning'er.
Sure enough, the queen mother no longer rejected Shen Ning. Gu Qingze was indispensable for her change.
Thinking of this, Mo Chuan felt even more grateful to Gu Qingze.
After coming out of Shoukang Palace, he did not go back to Guanju Palace, but went straight to the imperial study. The war was about to begin, and he had no intention of taking a good rest. He wanted to seize all the time to study military books. Even on the way back to the imperial study, he couldn't wait. Di took out the military book from his sleeve and read it by the candlelight in the sedan chair.
When he arrived at the Imperial Study Room, he got off the sedan chair and saw the light coming from the window paper in the Imperial Study Room, knowing that Shen Ning had not left.
Sure enough, when he pushed the door open and entered the room, he saw Shen Ning sitting under the lamp, looking at the big map on the table so intently that she didn't even notice that he was walking behind her.
Mo Chuan stood quietly behind her for a moment and saw her eyes staring straight at a location on the map. He followed her gaze and saw that what she was looking at was the red dot marking Nanguan Town.
"What are you thinking about, looking so fascinated? Do you still want to volunteer yourself and lead my troops to face the enemy?"
Mo Chuan suddenly spoke, which only shocked Shen Ning.
She suddenly turned around and found that it was Mo Chuan. She was angry and angry: "Mo Chuan, why are you trying to scare me?"
Mo Chuan smiled and stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms, stroking the top of her head with his chin: "You were so absorbed in looking at it that you didn't even know I was coming. Fortunately, it was me who came. If I were an assassin, you would have someone on your neck now." His head is gone."
Shen Ning chuckled and said disapprovingly: "You have set up a dragnet around the imperial study room, and there are also skilled secret guards. How can any assassin get close to me?"
She suddenly remembered something and asked: "The Queen Mother called you, but because she learned about Chu Shaoyang?"
"No, the queen mother didn't mention Chu Shaoyang a word. I just stayed in the queen mother's palace to eat with her, said a few common words and then came back." Mo Chuan said.
