In fact, what she wanted to ask was, how could you agree so quickly
She had already thought of her words before she came here, some were profound and righteous, some were serious and heartfelt, and some were emotional.
But despite this, she was still not sure that she could persuade Mo Chuan to agree to this marriage.
Because she knows better than anyone what kind of person her son is, and she knows better than anyone else his infatuation for that girl from the Shen family.
She didn't even dare to use strong force to force her son. She was afraid that if she was forced, her son would leave the whole country and follow that girl...
But what she never expected was that her son only used half of the words she prepared, and her son actually agreed!
This, this, how is this possible
"Chuan'er, you're not trying to use some kind of delaying strategy, are you?"
The Empress Dowager Zhou quickly calmed down and knew that her son would never give in easily. She might have had other ideas in her stomach. It was very possible that he would promise to run away as soon as she left. , left behind the palace and the throne, left behind his mother who had worked so hard to raise him, and went to find his confidante.
Mo Chuan smiled bitterly: "Now that things have come to this, besides agreeing to marry, is there any better way? Marriage with Northern Qi is the only way to protect our Western Chu. Could it be that in the heart of the queen, I am just a person?" A foolish king who ignores the country, the people, and the country?"
Queen Mother Zhou couldn't help but nodded slowly.
This sounded like a truth, and it was exactly what she was planning to use to persuade her son, but before she opened her mouth, her son said it first.
At first glance, it sounded like her son's words made sense, but Empress Dowager Zhou still couldn't believe it.
"Can you really let her go?" Queen Mother Zhou stared at Mo Chuan and asked.
Although she didn't explicitly say who she was, she and Mo Chuan both knew it.
"Nothing is more important than the people." Mo Chuan replied, with a flash of pain in his eyes.
"Very good. If you think so, the Ai family will feel relieved."
Empress Dowager Zhou said she was relieved, but she was still dubious in her heart.
"Mother..." Mo Chuan suddenly said: "My son, I have something unclear."
"What's up?"
"Since the King of Northern Qi wanted to marry Western Chu, why didn't he write a letter for his son? Instead, he sent this letter to his mother?"
Empress Dowager Zhou smiled slightly: "That's not what you want to ask, right? You want to ask why the King of Northern Qi offered to marry the third princess to you. Is there any conspiracy in this, right?"
"That's right, I really don't understand. We, Western Chu and Northern Qi, don't have close contacts, but the king of Northern Qi suddenly showed favor to us. I'm afraid there might be some fraud involved." Mo Chuan thought deeply.
Empress Dowager Zhou shook her head: "You are worrying too much. The letter from the King of Northern Qi is here. Take it and read it and you will understand. The meaning on this paper is enough to show your sincerity in wanting to marry with our country, not to mention that he took the initiative to ask for it." Even if he has any ill intentions in marrying the third princess, it won’t be us, Xi Chu, who will suffer the consequences.”
She took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it into Mo Chuan's hand.
The letter was light and airy, but Mo Chuan felt that it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
He stared at the letter and couldn't open it for a moment.
Although he agreed to the marriage, it did not mean that he was willing.
Empress Dowager Zhou added: "Actually, the Ai family has also thought about your doubts. But after reading this letter, the doubts disappeared. Chuan'er, what are you waiting for? Open it and take a look."
