"You won't forget how you got the throne, right?"
Empress Dowager Zhou stared at him and said in a low voice, "Do you think that after you have sat on this throne for more than ten years, the dragon chair under your butt will be secure? Do you think that the ministers in the court have no objections to you anymore? Do you think that If that person keeps silent for more than ten years, will he never have any objections? "
Mo Chuan was horrified. He lowered his head and called out in a low voice:
"Mother."
Empress Dowager Zhou didn't speak, just stared at him with her deep eyes.
After a while, Mo Chuan raised his head with guilt on his face.
"My son is wrong."
"It's okay if you know you're wrong."
Queen Mother Zhou stared at her son's face, and her expression slowly softened.
The tense and tit-for-tat atmosphere between mother and son disappeared.
She stroked Mo Chuan's hair and whispered: "Chuan'er, the Ai family knows what you are thinking. You are cold-hearted, aloof and arrogant. You look down on women in the world. The Ai family has always been worried that you will not marry the one you want. Girl, later... you fell in love with that girl from the Shen family, and the queen mother tried her best to stop it, but it wasn't because she didn't like her. She was indeed different from the girls you usually see. She was smart, had a photographic memory, and had a rare quick wit. Such a girl is It’s something you can only meet but cannot ask for…”
Mo Chuan could hardly believe his ears.
The person who dislikes and criticizes Shen Ning the most is the Queen Mother Zhou. She actually praised Ning'er's merits. Did she hear wrongly
He looked at Queen Mother Zhou with doubtful eyes.
Queen Mother Zhou glared at him: "You are blind when you become a mother, can't you see her benefits? The Ai family can see more clearly than you!"
"Then why does the queen mother still target her everywhere and insist on deposing her queen?" Mo Chuan couldn't help but ask.
He has been holding this question in his mind for a long time, but he has never been able to ask it.
"What the Ai family cannot accept is her former identity, not her. Don't forget, she is Chu Shaoyang's princess!"
Empress Dowager Zhou said word for word.
Seeing Mo Chuan open his mouth, she raised her hand to stop him.
"The Ai family knows that she later divorced Chu Shaoyang and regained her freedom, but so what! Will that prevent others from criticizing her behind her back? As the emperor, you can choose from all the good girls in the world. But you want to marry a woman who has been married before! It’s okay that she has been married before. If you want to marry her, the queen will not stop her, but you should not make her your queen! ! This is a disgrace to the entire royal family! Let others spit in your face! How embarrassed are you! Even if you die, you will not be able to see your ancestors!"
The more Empress Dowager Zhou spoke, the more excited she became, and then the breath rushed into her throat and she couldn't help but cough repeatedly.
Mo Chuan remained silent and patted Queen Mother Zhou's back gently.
Queen Mother Zhou coughed for a long time, and after regaining her breath, she pushed Mo Chuan's hand away, looked directly into his eyes, and said sternly:
"If you are not the emperor, but just an ordinary prince, like Shaobai, and the Ai family is willing to help you and her, you will definitely live a comfortable and happy life. But you are the emperor! And this throne of yours is hard-won. ! Even if you have been in office for more than ten years and have done your best without making any mistakes, there is no guarantee that someone will not be deliberately trying to remove you from the throne! If the Ai family had not been secretly supporting you, you would not have known that you had been there all these years. On thin ice!”
