Chu Shaobai's face was full of disbelief. He held the Queen Mother Zhou's hand tightly and begged: "But Imperial Grandmother, haven't you always liked your third sister-in-law? She also helped you copy Buddhist scriptures. Have you forgotten that? Fortune teller How can the words be counted?”
Empress Dowager Zhou lowered her face and showed displeasure: "Shao Bai, this matter is related to the lifeline of the country. Even if the Ai family likes her, they cannot put our Xi Chu Li in danger for the sake of a woman like her. The fortune teller said, if this girl is not eliminated, Xichu will be in danger! If you can't do it, the Ai family will find someone else to handle the matter. You must be very tired after you have just returned from work, so go back and rest."
She ordered the guests to be kicked out.
"Royal Grandmother..." Before Chu Shaobai could beg again, Queen Mother Zhou had already withdrawn her hand, waved to him, and said, "Go down, the Ai family is tired and needs a good rest."
Chu Shaobai was still kneeling in front of the bed, motionless.
He clenched his teeth hard, making a squeaking sound, and his dark, clear eyes were full of pain.
He knew that Queen Mother Zhou was definitely not joking, she would really attack Shen Ning.
He never dreamed that as soon as he returned to Kyoto, the Empress Dowager Zhou would give him such an errand, an errand that he couldn't handle and was impossible to complete.
But if he doesn't agree, Queen Mother Zhou will send someone else to do it.
"Okay, Imperial Grandmother, let Shaobai do this..." His heart hurt, as if someone was trying to cut it out with a knife.
But he couldn't help but agree.
He would rather let her die in his hands than tolerate someone else's knife being stained with her blood.
"Shaobai, the Ai family did not misjudge the person. You are indeed the only good boy that the Ai family can trust." Empress Dowager Zhou patted his shoulder happily.
Chu Shaobai didn't know how he left Shoukang Palace, let alone where he was going.
He walked in the palace without knowing the direction, his heart ached and he was at a loss.
His ears rang with the last words of Empress Dowager Zhou to him:
"If you don't bring her head back to the Ai family, then don't come back."
It seemed that Queen Mother Zhou was determined to kill her.
What happened during the few days he left Kyoto? Why did the Queen Mother suddenly change her mind and couldn't tolerate her
He wanted to find someone to find out.
But who to ask? Who can tell him
Sujin
But as soon as Sujin saw him, she hid faster than a rabbit. He knew that nothing could be asked from Sujin's mouth, because Sujin would never betray Queen Mother Zhou, and she would not tell him a word.
But, is he really going to kill her
Although she was his third sister-in-law in name, in his heart, she was the only girl he liked in his life. He couldn't even love her and couldn't bear to touch her, so how could he kill her
He raised his head, his eyes were moist, and the scene he saw was all blurry.
Haha, it’s ridiculous to think about it. The thing that he tried so hard to protect, now he has to break it with his own hands!
Isn't this the greatest irony in the world
Chu Shaobai stopped. He had already made up his mind. Since he had promised Queen Mother Zhou, he must do it.
In his life, he had never done anything to disappoint Queen Mother Zhou.
He raised his head and looked at the sun rising high in the sky. It was still early and he still had some time to prepare.
