Doctor Zhang said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, I have the best blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing ointment here."
He opened the medical box and took out a tube of ointment. Sujin took it and handed it to Queen Mother Zhou.
Empress Dowager Zhou didn't answer, but glared at her and said, "When did the Ai family have to do this kind of thing themselves?"
The implication was that Sujin would help Mo Chuan apply the medicine.
Su Jin snickered in her heart, the Queen Mother still had the same temper after all these years, she was desperate to save face and suffer the consequences, she clearly felt sorry for her son and cared about her son, but she always pretended to be indifferent.
"Your Majesty, please lift up your robe and let your servants apply the medicine for you?"
Mo Chuan shook his head and said, "No need."
His eyes fell on Xiaosi who was tied to the bench, and a chill suddenly emitted from his body, causing several guards holding torture sticks to shiver uncontrollably.
"Who tied him up? Who blocked his mouth? Who beat my people like this?"
His stern gaze swept towards the guards.
The guards turned pale with fright, and they all knelt down. Their bodies were shaking like chaff, and they kowtowed but did not dare to speak.
Because as soon as they open their mouths, they are offending the Queen Mother. They cannot afford to offend the Emperor, and they dare not offend the Queen Mother. This feeling of being caught in the cracks is like being indifferent inside and outside.
"Hey, you guys are so brave. I haven't returned to the palace for only two days, but you dare to touch the people around me. Who did it? People who have the guts to touch me don't have the guts to admit it? "
Mo Chuan sneered, walked up to Xiao Si, and flicked his right hand lightly on him. The dozens of thick hemp ropes binding Xiao Si were broken inch by inch as if they had been cut by a sharp blade.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your life-saving grace. Your Majesty, as long as you come back one step later, I will never see you again."
Xiao Si turned over and took out the rag from his mouth. Regardless of the pain in his butt, he knelt in front of Mo Chuan and hugged his right foot, sobbing uncontrollably.
"You are mine, and whoever touches you is tantamount to touching me. You dog guards dare to attack the people around me. Do you know your guilt?"
Mo Chuan's stern gaze glanced over the guards, who had turned pale and kowtowed.
"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, spare your life!"
How could the Empress Dowager Zhou not see that the emperor wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkey
She slapped her cane on the ground and said in a cold voice: "Emperor, they are all guards in the Ai family's palace. It was the Ai family who asked them to tie up the mistress. They asked them to do it. If you want to find someone to hold accountable, go to Ai. Come home!”
Upon hearing this, several guards looked at the Queen Mother Zhou gratefully, thinking that the Queen Mother was really a living Bodhisattva. With the Queen Mother's words, their lives were saved.
"Oh, did the Queen Mother order them? I wonder what mistake Xiaosi made, and the Queen Mother wants to beat him to death like this?"
Mo Chuan glanced at the thick and heavy torture sticks.
"As a personal attendant of the emperor, the emperor has disappeared, and he can't even tell the emperor's whereabouts. What's the use of keeping such a servant who doesn't work hard! The Ai family ordered him to be killed, and then choose a new emperor for the emperor. A clever servant."
"Xiao Si is my slave. Whether he does his best or not is up to me. Queen Mother, from now on I won't worry about small things like this." Mo Chuan looked directly at Queen Mother Zhou, with his back straight. Although his tone was respectful, his demeanor was solemn.
Everyone heard what he meant by protecting his shortcomings.
