"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do it now."
When Xiao Si heard this, he immediately felt as if he had been granted amnesty and felt relaxed all over.
After Queen Mother Zhou came in, although she kept smiling and watching Mo Chuan eat, Mo Chuan also smiled and ate very sweetly.
It was obviously a picture of a loving mother and a filial son, but Xiaosi felt keenly that the atmosphere in the room was not as relaxed as it seemed on the surface.
It seems like something is coming to life at the touch of a button.
He had been on pins and needles for a long time, fearing that he would be affected by the unknown fire and become the Queen Mother's punching bag, and he wished he could escape as soon as possible.
But Mo Chuan didn't say anything, so he had to stand aside and serve him obediently, not being able to leave at all.
"Go." Mo Chuan glanced at Xiaosi and said with a smile.
The smile had never disappeared from his face since Queen Mother Zhou came in. Queen Mother Zhou saw this and felt relieved in her heart.
She hadn't seen a smile on her son's face for a long time. Not to mention whether the smile on her son's face now came from the heart, but it was enough to make her feel very relieved.
"Sujin, the emperor likes the snacks you made so much, why don't you hurry up and get the rest?"
She gave Sujin an angry look.
"Yes, I will go and get it right away." Su Jin bowed slightly and left.
When she was about to go out, she glanced at Mo Chuan without any trace, as if she meant something.
Mo Chuan couldn't help being startled, watching her leave and closing the door.
Only Empress Dowager Zhou and Mo Chuan and his mother were left in the imperial study, and it suddenly became quiet.
The smile on Queen Mother Zhou's face did not disappear. She picked up the lid of the cup and slowly blew the tea leaves in the cup.
Mo Chuan picked up a memorial and read it carefully.
Neither of them spoke.
After a while, Queen Mother Zhou finally put down the tea cup and said slowly: "Emperor, there are some things that the Ai family doesn't ask, are you going to hide them from the Ai family for the rest of your life?"
Mo Chuan put down the memorial, stood up, bowed to the Empress Dowager Zhou, and said respectfully: "My mother has taught me the right lesson. I did hide something from my mother. It's my fault."
His direct admission was beyond the expectations of Queen Mother Zhou.
Queen Mother Zhou was stunned for a moment, then said: "Can we tell the Ai family now?"
Mo Chuan straightened up and said calmly: "The Queen Mother wants to know where this scar on my son's face came from, right?"
Queen Mother Zhou was stunned again and asked subconsciously: "What's going on?"
In fact, this was not what she wanted to know, but Mo Chuan actually mentioned it on his own initiative, so of course she wanted to find out.
"He was injured with a dagger." Mo Chuan said briefly.
“…”
Empress Dowager Zhou almost spit out a sip of tea in her mouth. She placed the tea cup she just picked up on the table and said angrily:
"The Ai family is not blind. I didn't ask whether you were injured by a sword or a knife!"
This son actually fought against me.
"The Ai family wants to know who hurt you!" She said straight to the point.
Anyway, there were only mother and son in this room, so she wasn't afraid that her son wouldn't be able to get off stage.
Mo Chuan pondered for a moment and replied: "This, please forgive me for the inconvenience."
Empress Dowager Zhou couldn't help but feel angry. She glared at Mo Chuan and said in a deep voice, "You're even hiding this from your mother now? The Ai family's love for you is really in vain."
"Please forgive me, Queen Mother. This is my son's private matter. I will handle it on my own. I don't want to worry my mother by speaking out."
Queen Mother Zhou snorted.
"You think the Yi family won't know if you don't tell?"
