Mo Chuan couldn't help but shook his head: "Mother, the more you talk, the more ridiculous you are. If Princess Lanxin is really the darling of the Northern Qi monarch, how can she travel at will? And she even came to Xichu, which is thousands of miles away!"
Empress Dowager Zhou looked at him and said calmly: "She is here just for you. Although you have not seen her, she is hiding in the envoys. She must have seen you. Emperor, regarding this matter, I have already I sent people to inquire the officials in the post house, and they all said that when the Northern Qi envoy lived in the post house, a small courtyard was set up, and in that small courtyard lived a young attendant, and When the Northern Qi envoy went to the courtyard to meet the young attendant, he looked very respectful, which made them feel very strange. If the young attendant was Princess Lanxin, then this matter would not be surprising at all. "
Hearing this, Mo Chuan gasped.
He originally thought that Queen Mother Zhou was just making wild guesses, but he did not expect that if things were really as Queen Mother Zhou said, then the content of this letter was most likely true!
Suddenly, a clear voice seemed to ring in his ears.
"I guess, there must be a princess in the Northern Qi Kingdom. The princess is attracted to you, so she will try to please you with the drawings of the five-gun crossbow. By the way, that must be the reason. The princess must be among the envoys. , Well, she was disguised as a man, maybe the little attendant who turned around three times when seeing her off was dressed as the princess, Mo Chuan, please tell the truth, when did you provoke the Princess of Northern Qi? "
There was laughter and teasing in the voice, which was exactly what he and Shen Ning said when they were laughing intimately.
It was a joke she made casually, but at the time, he and she never thought that one day that joke would become true!
Thinking of Shen Ning, Mo Chuan suddenly felt sour in his heart. What would Ning'er think if she knew about this
He couldn't help but be fascinated. Although his physical body was standing in front of Queen Mother Zhou, his heart had already wandered to nowhere.
Queen Mother Zhou waited for a while, but saw no words from her son. When she looked up, she saw her son looking out the window with a gentle expression and a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, obviously absent-minded.
She was someone who had been there before, so she didn't know what her son was thinking right now, and she couldn't help but get angry.
I had been talking sincerely for so long, but I dare say he didn't hear a word, and his thoughts were all on that girl named Shen!
"Chuan'er!"
She gave a sharp shout, which immediately woke Mo Chuan out of his thoughts.
He composed himself and said: "Mother."
Empress Dowager Zhou said solemnly: "Did you hear what Ai Jia just said?"
"I heard."
"Then do you agree to this marriage, or not?"
Mo Chuan said without thinking: "Please forgive me, my mother, I will never agree!"
He said it categorically, leaving no room for error.
Empress Dowager Zhou's expression turned extremely ugly. With a wave of her right hand, she knocked the teacup to the ground, causing the pieces to scatter everywhere.
"Emperor, do you know the consequences of rejecting this marriage? Are you determined to hand over the inheritance of your ancestors to others?" She snapped.
"Mom, please calm down. I believe there must be other ways to preserve the inheritance of our ancestors and protect the country. I will never let my marriage become a bargaining chip, and I will never be a pawn at the mercy of others!"
Mo Chuan stood proudly and spoke forcefully.
