Su Jin nodded and waited for Queen Mother Zhou's next words.
What she couldn't understand was how the Queen Mother could still have a relaxed smile after being rejected by the Emperor. Didn't the Queen Mother fully approve of this marriage
"But the Aijia has made up its mind about this marriage. Whether the emperor agrees or disagrees, it must be a marriage! This is a major event that is beneficial to the country and the people. The Aijia will never allow the emperor to have his temper. They will make the decision for him. As soon as the emperor leaves Kyoto, the Ai family will send an envoy to prepare a betrothal gift to propose marriage to Princess Lanxin of Northern Qi. "
Queen Mother Zhou put down her tea cup and said slowly.
Su Jin was taken aback and blurted out: "Isn't this killing first and showing off later? What should I do if the emperor comes back and finds out?"
Empress Dowager Zhou nodded and said: "Yes, it's just a matter of killing it first and telling it later. There is absolutely no room for any mistakes in what the Ai family has decided! Sujin, besides the Ai family, only you know about this matter. If the news is leaked and reaches the ears of the emperor, Here, if something big happens, the Ai family has to ask you!"
Su Jin fell to her knees and said with a pale face: "I dare not say anything. Please rest assured, the Queen Mother."
"Get up. If the Ai family doesn't trust you, they won't tell you such top-secret matters." Queen Mother Zhou raised her hand with a very calm expression.
Su Jin bit her lip and looked up at Queen Mother Zhou, looking like she was hesitant to speak.
"What do you want to say? Is there anything you can't say in front of the Yi family? Say it!"
Su Jin mustered up her courage and said: "Empress Dowager, please forgive me for speaking so boldly. You are doing this without telling the emperor. If the monarch of Northern Qi agrees to the marriage, then Princess Lanxin will definitely become the empress. If she is the empress, What if we come back?”
Empress Dowager Zhou's face darkened: "That girl Shen has fallen into the hands of Chu Shaoyang, how can she keep her innocence! How can an unchaste woman be the queen of a country again! The Ai family can't forgive her. Without the face to come back, not to mention that Chu Shaoyang is now the king of Chu in South Vietnam, with a high position and more majesty than the emperor Mo Chuan. It is her good fortune that Shen Yatou followed Chu Shaoyang. "
Sujin lowered her head and said nothing.
Empress Dowager Zhou shouted: "Why, do you think that Girl Shen is still qualified to be the queen of our Western Chu Kingdom?"
Su Jin whispered: "I dare not say that."
"I dare not say it, you clearly think so in your heart!" Queen Mother Zhou became angry, slapped the table hard, and shouted: "What's so good about Shen girl? You two are defending her like this! Look at Ai's house Come on, she is a monster who is causing harm to the country!"
Su Jin thought of Shen Ningsu's daily behavior and how she treated the Queen Mother Zhou, and she boldly said: "The Queen Mother, your health is getting better and better. It seems that it is partly due to the Queen Mother. If it weren't for the ancient miracle doctor..."
Queen Mother Zhou's originally angry expression suddenly froze when she heard the words "ancient miracle doctor".
She calmed down and thought about it carefully, and felt that what Su Jin said was not unreasonable. The reason why she was angry with Shen Ning was all because her son had done some unnatural things for her. If she talked about it, she For himself, and even for the whole Xi Chu, it is a merit without fault.
But "charming your heart"!
This one crime alone was enough to keep her from turning over forever.
Queen Mother Zhou had already made up her mind.
