After hearing Queen Mother Zhou's question, Sujin smiled bitterly.
While she knelt down to collect the broken pieces of the teacup, she said softly: "The Queen Mother, I have already asked Zhui Feng, who is beside the emperor, to inquire about it, but he is very tight-lipped, so I didn't ask anything. So I went there again." In Guanju Palace, I saw the little girl next to the Queen, named Xiao Ru. She didn’t know where the Queen was, but I guessed that if others didn’t know the Queen’s whereabouts, the Emperor must know.”
Empress Dowager Zhou couldn't help but sighed and said: "The Ai family doesn't know that the emperor knows, but look at the emperor's current state. After the court, he locked himself in the imperial study and saw no one! Even when the Ai family went, he If she refuses to open the door, tell me, is something really wrong with Girl Shen? Is she dead? "
Su Jin was startled and said hurriedly: "The Queen Mother, you must not say that. The Queen Mother is so prosperous and blessed, how could it be possible... to..."
Empress Dowager Zhou sighed again and said: "Actually, the Ai family didn't curse her to death. It's just that she can't be seen alive or dead. After a dignified country, she actually disappeared like this. Sooner or later, this matter will not be able to stop the fire. If word spreads, won't it become a joke to the royal family? How can you save the face of the Ai family and the emperor?"
Sujin was also at a loss and speechless.
Empress Dowager Zhou thought for a while, then stood up suddenly and said: "Let's go to the imperial study room with the Ai family again. The Ai family must ask the emperor face to face what is going on! If that girl is really dead , the Ai family ordered her to be buried with great splendor. If she is still alive but refuses to show up, then don’t blame the Ai family for being ruthless. It’s okay not to have a queen like this who doesn’t understand etiquette and rules! "
Su Jin turned pale with shock and hurriedly stopped him.
"The Queen Mother, you must not do this! The Emperor is in a bad mood right now. If you go, I am afraid it will make matters worse. If the Queen Mother really..."
Empress Dowager Zhou said sternly: "What are you afraid of? The emperor was born in the Ai family. No matter how much he likes Shen Yatou, he will never disobey the mother of the Ai family. The Ai family does this for his own good. As the saying goes, if you continue to break up, you will be subject to chaos. ! If that girl Shen is really gone, the Aijia will let him have enough pain at one time, and he will wake up after the pain is over. He has a heart disease now, and if he doesn't treat it, it will only make his disease worse. It's getting more and more serious. The Ai family wants to help him treat his illness and dig out the rotten flesh in his heart!"
She ordered: "Go and prepare a sedan chair for the Ai family. The Ai family is leaving immediately and doesn't want to wait any longer!"
Su Jin had no choice but to go out and give orders to the palace officials, and then followed Empress Dowager Zhou directly to the imperial study.
On the steps outside the imperial study room, Xiao Si was looking sad, holding his chin in a daze.
It has been several days since the emperor came back, but in these days he did not even say a word to the little eunuch who was accompanying him. After leaving the court, he went into the imperial study without seeing anyone.
Xiao Si has been with Mo Chuan for so long, and has never seen the emperor look like this, worried and worried.
This time when Mo Chuan left the palace, he only brought Zhui Feng with him, so the only one Xiao Si could ask about was Zhui Feng.
But Zhui Feng's mouth was even stricter than a sawed gourd. He kept asking questions, but Zhui Feng didn't even fart. He was so angry that he yelled that Zhui Feng was nothing and didn't regard him as a brother at all. .
