As for why the emperor kept looking south, Xiaosi finally figured it out.
That's because the Queen is there!
It's just that it's far away from the capital. Even if the emperor has clairvoyance, he probably won't be able to see anything.
Mo Chuan raised his head and glanced at Xiaosi, who had a sad face. His eyes were slightly red, and although his face was still as handsome as usual, he couldn't hide the sadness between his eyebrows.
"Okay, go get a coat." He said softly, not wanting to embarrass this loyal subordinate.
Lately, Queen Mother Zhou has been coming to his study almost every day. Every time she comes, she brings him a lot of supplements and then watches him eat them all in one bite.
When he came back this time, he originally thought that Queen Mother Zhou would be furious, thinking that he would definitely not be able to escape the punishment of his mother, but to his surprise, Queen Mother Zhou did not scold him a word.
After Empress Dowager Zhou got up in the morning, she pushed open the door and saw Mo Chuan kneeling outside the door of her room in the yard.
For a moment, she felt that she was dazzled, and couldn't help but raise her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes with her sleeve. When she looked over again, Mo Chuan was still kneeling there upright.
The early morning sunlight shone faintly on his body, lining his hair, face and clothes with a layer of gold. He lowered his head slightly, but even though he heard the sound of Queen Mother Zhou opening the door, he still did not raise his head.
Queen Mother Zhou couldn't help but swayed slightly. Fortunately, Su Jin beside her helped her in time and screamed in surprise and joy:
"The Emperor! It's the Emperor. The Emperor is back. I'm so happy. The Queen Mother..." Her joyous cry stopped abruptly.
Because Queen Mother Zhou's fingers on her wrist suddenly exerted force, it only pinched her for a while and caused a lot of pain.
Raising her eyes, she saw the expression on Queen Mother Zhou's face, and the smile suddenly froze on her face.
The emperor's return is not necessarily a happy event.
Because during the days when the emperor left the palace, only Su Jin knew how the Queen Mother Zhou came here.
Every night is a sleepless night. Every night, the Queen Mother Zhou has to get up several times. If there is a slight movement outside the window, the Queen Mother Zhou will wake up immediately.
She would raise her head and look out the window, but silently refused to make a sound.
But Sujin had been with Queen Mother Zhou for so many years. Even if Queen Mother Zhou didn't say anything, how could she not guess what Queen Mother Zhou was thinking
During this period, Queen Mother Zhou could not sleep at night, so she kept vigil in front of Queen Mother Zhou's bed.
When Queen Mother Zhou looked out the window silently, Su Jin would quietly get up, walk to the window, gently open the window, look outside, then cover the window and return to Queen Mother Zhou.
"It's just that the wind is a bit strong at night. Queen Mother, please sleep a little longer." She said softly, helped Queen Mother Zhou lie down, and then gently pulled up the quilt.
Nights like this, day after day, Queen Mother Zhou's increasingly rosy complexion began to turn pale again, but she still insisted on going to the imperial study room once a day.
Since Mo Chuan left, Ye Tingxuan has been handling political affairs on his behalf, and all the memorials have been piled on the Imperial Book Table.
No matter how smart Ye Tingxuan is, he will inevitably be in a hurry when he suddenly takes over so many unfamiliar government affairs.
After Queen Mother Zhou arrived, she just sat aside and quietly watched Ye Tingxuan review the memorial.
It's not that she can't worry about Ye Tingxuan, she still has trust in this son-in-law's character. She believes in Mo Chuan's vision, she also believes in Princess Anle's vision, and she believes in her own vision even more.
