His hands were clenched into fists, and his joints made a creaking sound due to exertion. His eyes were blood red and his breathing was heavy.
"Mother, please get out!" He took a deep breath and coldly issued an order to expel guests.
He didn't want to listen to Queen Mother Zhou, not even a word. He regretted very much now why he had to be soft-hearted and let Queen Mother Zhou in.
Queen Mother Zhou, however, sat motionless in her chair. She stared at Mo Chuan with deep worry and sadness in her eyes.
"Emperor, look at how you look now. You don't look like the king of a country! It's just for a woman. Where is your demeanor? Where is your manner? Where is your mind? You are still the proud one of the Ai family. Son? Your prestige is simply ruined! A country cannot live without a king, let alone a queen. The Ai family is not cruel to your queen, but for the sake of the entire country. Only by establishing a new queen can we avoid future troubles. , so you don’t have to worry about anything anymore!” She spoke word by word in a low tone.
But Mo Chuan turned a deaf ear, pointed to the door, and said coldly: "My son, please mother, please leave here!"
Empress Dowager Zhou stood up slowly, holding on to the crutches. Her body could not help but sway slightly, but she quickly stood upright, straightening her back and looking solemn.
"Every word the Aijia said is for our Xichu. As an emperor, how can you ignore the overall situation for a woman? The Aijia just asked you to establish a new queen, and did not stop you from searching for her whereabouts. If you can find her, you'll be in good luck. But if you can't find her, or she is really captured by South Vietnam, the Ai family will never let you do anything that is disgraceful to the country or the royal family! When the time comes, it will be inevitable to establish a new queen. Emperor, these words of the queen mother are good medicine but bitter words. You may not listen to it for a while, but the queen mother has no selfish motives at all, let alone wants to kill your queen. You should think carefully about it yourself. Bar!"
After she finished speaking, she walked toward the door step by step with a cane. Although she tried to straighten her back, every step she took was extremely slow and heavy.
Mo Chuan was silent, looking at the Queen Mother Zhou's efforts to straighten her back, which was still slightly stooped, and the countless white hairs growing out of her temples, and suddenly felt sour in her heart.
He suddenly wanted to rush forward, hug his mother's legs, lie at her feet, cry like a child, and seek comfort in her arms.
He wanted to stand in front of his mother and scold her severely, why could she still say such cold and heartless words at this time? Is her blood cold
But he didn't say anything or do anything. He just watched in silence as Queen Mother Zhou walked out of the study door step by step and out of his sight.
He turned around, his eyes were sour, and his heart was in unbearable pain. He slowly sat down on the ground, leaned against the pillar, put his hand on his forehead, and closed his eyes.
His heart hurt as if it had been torn apart. He had hidden this pain very well since returning to the palace and had not shown it to outsiders at all.
However, this hidden wound was torn open by the Queen Mother Zhou in a bloody manner. It was so bloody that it was unbearable to look at it.
He just closed his eyes and leaned against the pillar. All the strength in his body was taken away. He could not move or think. All he could feel was the heartbreaking pain.
Footsteps approached quietly and stopped beside him.
Mo Chuan seemed not to hear it.
