The guards raised their sticks again, and Sujin had already closed her eyes, unable to bear to look any further.
Xiao Si knew that this catastrophe was inevitable, and even though he was gagged, he still cried out.
Empress Dowager Zhou ignored him and couldn't find the emperor. She just wanted to kill all these annoying dog slaves one by one before they were clean.
"Hit!" She slapped the table again.
"The Emperor has arrived!" Suddenly, a loud announcement came from outside Shoukang Palace, which stunned several people in the room.
Queen Mother Zhou stood up suddenly and knocked over the tea cup on the table with her sleeve belt. Without realizing it, she grabbed Su Jin's hand, feeling surprised and happy.
"Did you hear that? The emperor is here?"
Su Jin nodded vigorously: "Yes, I heard this. The Queen Mother is sitting down. I will open the door now."
Xiaosi was so excited that he was trembling all over, thinking, Your Majesty, you are finally here. If you come a step later, you will never see Xiaosi.
Several guards looked at each other, quietly put down the torture sticks in their hands, and took a few steps back in unison.
There was a "bang", and before Sujin could open the door, the two doors of the bedroom had been pushed open.
A man stood proudly in front of the door with the light behind him, his eyebrows drawn into his temples, and his eyes cold and threatening.
Everyone only saw the tall and straight bright yellow figure, and they suddenly became energetic.
"Meet the Emperor."
Except for Queen Mother Zhou, everyone in the room prostrated themselves to the ground. Their hearts were full of surprises, and a big stone fell to the ground.
Empress Dowager Zhou stood there, looking at Mo Chuan intently, her calm face expressionless, unable to tell whether she was excited or angry.
"My son, I pay my respects to my mother."
Mo Chuan strode into the room and bowed to Queen Mother Zhou.
Empress Dowager Zhou lowered her head slightly, looked at the emperor kneeling in front of her, and said in a calm voice: "Emperor, are you back?"
As soon as Mo Chuan said "Hmm", Empress Dowager Zhou raised the dragon-headed crutch in her hand and hit him hard on the back.
"The Queen Mother!" Su Jin and everyone were shocked.
If Empress Dowager Zhou didn't listen, she struck down the crutch again.
Mo Chuan did not dare to use his internal strength to resist. The two blows with the cane only caused two high red marks to swell up on his back, and they were very painful, but this pain was nothing to him.
"Emperor, the Aijia gave you these two strokes of the cane today. You are not unjust!" Empress Dowager Zhou said solemnly.
Mo Chuan replied respectfully: "The Queen Mother was not unfairly beaten, it was my son who did something wrong. I came here to apologize to the Queen Mother and ask for her forgiveness."
"You still know that you did something wrong? You... you have failed the Ai family's teachings to you!" Empress Dowager Zhou slapped her crutch on the ground hard.
"My son, I know I was wrong. Please calm down my mother."
"Do you realize your mistake? Tell Ai Jia, where did you go wrong?" Queen Mother Zhou stared at him and asked.
"My son should not have said goodbye without saying goodbye. I should not have gone to court for two days. As the king of a country, I have neglected to manage the affairs of the country. I have failed both the people and my mother." Mo Chuan replied.
After hearing this, Queen Mother Zhou finally felt some of the anger in her heart dissipate.
"Now that you know you're wrong, just get up."
Mo Chuan stood up, suddenly frowned and let out a "Zhi" sound.
Queen Mother Zhou couldn't help but roll her eyes at him: "You think the Ai family beat you too hard? If you dare to do it again next time, the Ai family will beat you hard again!"
Even so, she still asked Doctor Zhang: "Do you have any ointment for healing wounds?"
She didn't show mercy when she taught Mo Chuan a lesson, she tried her best, but now she felt sorry for her son.
