The door of the Buddhist hall was open, and there were only two red candles in front of the Buddhist niche, but there was no one inside.
Queen Mother Zhou only glanced at it, then sighed inaudibly and continued walking forward.
Sujin hesitated to speak several times, but she swallowed it back.
She is just a slave and an old man in the palace. She knows what to say and what not to say.
Empress Dowager Zhou habitually walked in the direction of the jade luochun plant. Whenever she felt dizzy and bored, she couldn't help but smell the flowers to refresh her mind.
But today, after she took two steps, she remembered that the flower was gone.
"Let's plant a magnolia here tomorrow." Empress Dowager Zhou looked at the bare pit and was lost in thought, then slowly turned around and walked back.
After taking two steps, she stopped again.
"Sujin, do you think the Ai family did something wrong today?" She suddenly asked quietly.
Su Jin lowered her head and whispered: "I don't know."
Empress Dowager Zhou did not look at her and continued to walk forward. Sujin followed closely behind her. Empress Dowager Zhou's voice was low, as if she was talking to herself.
"When Aijia entered the palace, she was the same age as her. After so many years, Aijia's hair has turned white and wrinkles have appeared on her face. She is a young girl, but Ai Jia was young after all, so how can he not understand the thoughts of young girls? "
Sujin still didn't speak.
She knew that all Empress Dowager Zhou needed was a pair of good ears and no one needed to respond.
So she just listened quietly.
"The emperor likes her, you like her, and the Aijia also... like her quite a lot. The Aijia doesn't want to be the ruthless stick that beats mandarin ducks, and the Aijia doesn't want the emperor to resent me as a mother, but..."
Queen Mother Zhou stopped in front of a crabapple flower. The petals were delicate red and soft. She caressed it gently with her tentacles, and there was a chill in her voice.
"It's just that she can't keep it!"
Su Jin's body trembled, and then she watched helplessly as Queen Mother Zhou pinched the flower and crushed the petals.
She shivered suddenly, her eyes filled with fear.
"The Queen Mother!" she exclaimed in a low voice.
Empress Dowager Zhou gave her a cold look: "Why, do you think the Ai family will send someone to kill her?"
Sujin bit her lip and remained silent.
"You're right. The Ai family really wants to kill her. As soon as she dies, all these worries will disappear. But if the Ai family really sends someone to kill him, there is no airtight wall in this world. Sooner or later, the emperor will You will know that if that day comes, the Ai family will lose this son. "
Empress Dowager Zhou sighed quietly. She knew Mo Chuan's son very well. If she killed his beloved woman, he might not even want her as his mother.
"The Ai family didn't touch her. They just sent someone to send her back to where she came from. I hope Shaoyang can treat her well and the emperor can slowly forget about her."
The fact that she can do this is her biggest concession.
"Empress Dowager, since you clearly know that the emperor is against her... why don't you help them?" Su Jin observed the words and expressions, and had long discovered that when the Empress Dowager Zhou mentioned Shen Ning, she was no longer as angry as before, but had a hint of calmness. Compassion and appreciation.
Although the Empress Dowager Zhou hid this pity and appreciation very well, how could Sujin not know it after serving the Empress Dowager Zhou for so many years
