"How is it possible? How could she, a weak woman, have the courage to go to that deserted place alone and face South Vietnam's 100,000 troops alone? This is impossible!" Queen Mother Zhou shook her head, refusing to believe it.
"Mother, here is Liu Chengyuan's memorial. The process of victory is clearly written on it. This matter is absolutely true and there is nothing impossible! Ning'er came out of the palace this time to single-handedly solve the problem of our Western Chu. Wei, instead of rewarding her for such meritorious service, are you going to abolish her position as queen?" Mo Chuan said coldly.
Empress Dowager Zhou pressed her forehead with her hand and felt a sudden pain in her temple. She couldn't digest the news Mo Chuan told her.
She closed her eyes and said, "Let Aijia think about it carefully. Let Aijia think about it carefully."
Mo Chuan closed his mouth and stopped talking.
After a while, Queen Mother Zhou recovered from the shock.
She raised her eyes and looked at Mo Chuan: "Emperor, are everything you said true? Is the special envoy really the queen?"
Mo Chuan said firmly: "My son will never deceive the mother. If the mother doesn't believe it, she can summon Liu Chengyuan to Beijing and she will know after asking."
Empress Dowager Zhou nodded slowly: "The Ai family believes what you say. If this is the case, then not only does she have no fault, but she has made meritorious deeds. But now the South Vietnam Kingdom has withdrawn its troops and recovered all its lost territory. I wonder where the empress is now? Why didn't she come back with you? palace?"
Mo Chuan slowly clenched his fists and said: "She... She disappeared. Ever since the fire in Yuezhou City that night, she disappeared on the battlefield. Erchen took Zhui Feng to search the area, but she was never found. trace."
"What? Gone?" Queen Mother Zhou took a breath and pressed her hands on the armrests: "Why is she missing? Could it be that she was abducted by the South Vietnamese army in the chaos?"
Mo Chuan shook his head: "Since she can arrange a clever plan, she must have thought of a way to escape. She will not put herself in a dangerous place."
"Then how come she disappeared?" Queen Mother Zhou asked.
Mo Chuan shook his head again and said, "I don't know."
Empress Dowager Zhou stopped asking questions. When she saw the unconcealable pain on her son's face, her heart began to twitch.
She was more worried about her son than Shen Ning.
"Ji people have their own destiny. The queen is so smart and alert, she will be safe and sound. Emperor, don't worry too much. Judging from Yi Ai's family, she must be too bored in this palace, so she took this opportunity to Take a chance to play outside when you are out of the palace, and when she has enough fun, she will come back naturally. "
Empress Dowager Zhou tried her best to make the matter as understated as possible, and she did think so in her heart. However, she believed that the reason why Shen Ning did not want to return to the palace was because she did not want to see herself, the Queen Mother.
Mo Chuan moved his tongue and almost told the Queen Mother Zhou about the discovery of the female body in the river. After thinking about it for a while, he finally held back.
If Empress Dowager Zhou knew about this, she would probably start thinking wildly again. It would be better to hide it from her mother until the matter was found out.
"Emperor, the Empress has indeed made great contributions to the country. After she returns to the palace, the Ai family will definitely praise her, but the merits cannot be overshadowed. She left the palace privately, which is already a violation of the palace rules. The delay in returning clearly shows that she does not care about the dignity of the Ai family and the royal family. If she is not taught a lesson, I am afraid she will become even more lawless in the future." said Empress Dowager Zhou.
