"What other person?" Queen Mother Zhou was startled, picked up the secret report and read it again, "You mean he is looking for someone?"
"Yes, I suspect that he threatened to set fire to the city in order to force Ning'er to show up."
"Ning'er? You said the person he is looking for is Ning'er?" Queen Mother Zhou was surprised.
Mo Chuan nodded with a heavy face.
"The secret report said that the person Chu Shaoyang was looking for showed up on his own initiative, and a catastrophe was avoided. Erchen believes that the young man is most likely Ning'er."
Empress Dowager Zhou pondered: "So, Ning'er has fallen into Chu Shaoyang's hands? Then why don't you send someone to investigate immediately?"
"Er Chen plans to wait for Zhui Feng to come back, and then go to investigate in person. After waiting for so long, we finally have news about Ning'er, and I don't want to miss it." Mo Chuan said solemnly.
"What? You want to go there in person? No, absolutely not!" Queen Mother Zhou shook her head without any pretense.
"Why not? Ning'er is Erchen's wife and the queen of our Western Chu. Her safety is related to the lifeline of the country. Erchen must not let her fall into the hands of Chu Shaoyang!"
"Emperor, you are so confused!"
Empress Dowager Zhou slapped the table hard and glared at Mo Chuan: "You are the king of a country, and all the burdens and responsibilities in the world are on your shoulders. How can you put down state affairs for a woman? You must know that the government cannot live without a day. Jun!”
"Queen mother, she is the wife of my son!" Mo Chuan had long expected that Queen Mother Zhou would object, but he had already made up his mind.
"Wife? She thinks of her as a wife now, but does she still have you as her husband in her heart?" Empress Dowager Zhou sneered, "Before, you have been worried about whether she is dead or alive, but now you finally know the news about her. Not only is she still alive, but she is also with Chu Shaoyang! Since she is not dead, and Chu Shaoyang has not tied her up, why doesn't she return to Kyoto? This shows that you are worried about her! She has been sleeping with Chu Shaoyang for a long time! It’s ridiculous that you are still so devoted to her, Emperor, it’s time for you to wake up!”
"Mother, what are you talking about?"
Mo Chuan looked at Queen Mother Zhou with a shocked face. He couldn't believe that these words came from the Queen Mother's mouth. How cold and heartless it was!
"Ning'er is definitely not the kind of person her mother said she was. The secret report clearly stated that it was Chu Shaoyang who threatened the lives of the people in the city. She was kidnapped by Chu Shaoyang in order to save the people in the city. This shows that She is not willing at all! Mother, how could you accuse Ning'er so unfairly!"
Although he was very filial to his mother, he was by no means blindly filial. He would never allow his mother to throw dirty water on his beloved girl.
"Whether the Ai family has wronged her or not, you will know soon. What's the point of talking about it now?" Queen Mother Zhou said coldly.
This may be the first time that his son has contradicted him, and it was because of that woman! This made her sad and angry, but she hid it well, and there was no joy or anger on her face.
Mo Chuan gritted his teeth: "No matter what, I must go find Ning'er myself!"
"Absolutely not!" Empress Dowager Zhou sternly said, her gaze shot towards Mo Chuan like a cold lightning: "If you are worried, you can send Zhui Feng to go, but you cannot leave Kyoto under any circumstances! Because there is going to be a crisis soon. What a happy event!”
"A happy event? What a happy event?"
Mo Chuan frowned and looked at Queen Mother Zhou in astonishment.
