"Shaobai, I need you!" Mo Chuan said solemnly.
Of course he understood what Chu Shaobai meant, but he couldn't tell Chu Shaobai how he felt.
As the king of a country, he has to consider many more and more complicated things than Chu Shaobai. He cannot do anything that is as reckless as Chu Shaobai and that is insulting to the dignity of the country and the royal family.
Especially when Eastern Qin was eyeing Western Chu, it was even less likely that he would lose the support of the people.
If he, the emperor, cannot sit firmly, it will give Eastern Qin an opportunity, and Western Chu will become unstable again. Once the war breaks out, the people will be displaced. Mochuan cannot let any of this happen. occur!
There was a heavy burden on his shoulders. No one knew how heavy it was. He didn't want to carry it, but he had to carry it because no one else could bear it except him.
Although Chu Shaobai is younger than him, he has always regarded Chu Shaobai as a brother and sister. He is his right-hand man. He needs Chu Shaobai's arms to support him. He has lost his most beloved girl. If he continues His best brother was also lost. He didn't know if he still had the strength to stand up and survive this difficulty.
He is a human being, not a god, and he has moments of vulnerability and injury.
His right hand pressed on Chu Shaobai's shoulder.
Chu Shaobai's body shook slightly, as if he felt the heavy burden. He straightened his shoulders and back, his eyes shining.
"I will always stand by the Emperor's side." His tone was firm, and his eyes were even firmer.
Mo Chuan nodded, patted him on the shoulder, and said slowly: "Come, prepare for the palace banquet tonight. I hope to see King Dingyuan and his princess during the banquet, and, Go and invite His Highness Prince Nam to attend."
He knew that he had won today's competition and had only overcome the first difficulty. There were still two competitions left. He believed that Namtso would never give in so easily. He would definitely solve those two questions even more tricky and weird.
A big stone in Queen Mother Zhou's heart finally slowly fell to the ground. She looked at Mo Chuan with relief. This son did not disappoint her.
She saw everything that happened today. As a woman, she was already very attentive. After so many years in the palace, her eyes became more wise and transparent. She saw that her son was full of emotions. Disappointed to the point of sadness and despair, she saw that her son's heart was injured and bleeding.
However, under such circumstances, he can still maintain the dignity and demeanor of a king, still keep a cool head, and still handle state affairs in an orderly manner. This is enough to show that he has become more and more mature and has become more and more mature. Possess the forbearance, calmness and decisiveness required of an emperor.
As for her son's injuries, Queen Mother Zhou believed that given time, he would be able to recover.
"Go back to the palace!"
She stood up holding Sujin's hand and got into the sedan chair.
She was deep in thought all the way.
Now that her son is older, she has that thought. It's time for her to make some careful plans for her son.
As for the candidate for the future queen of Western Chu Kingdom, she must carefully consider and choose a good girl with outstanding talents and virtues.
After his son gets married, he will naturally take back his love for the Shen girl.
Empress Dowager Zhou decided that she would take care of this matter as soon as the Eastern Qin envoys came to an end and they left Kyoto.
Without delay.
