"Mr. Zhang, thank you for your hard work. The Queen Mother is fine now. You can go back and rest. I will ask Xiaosi to help you carry the medicine box."
She handed Doctor Zhang's medicine box to Xiaosi who was standing aside, and put the tube of ointment for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis into his hand.
"Xiaosi, is your injury okay?" she asked.
"Thank you Aunt Su Jin for interceding for me. Aunt, if it weren't for you, Xiao Si would have been beaten to death by the Queen Mother. Your great kindness will be unforgettable to this slave." Xiao Si lay on the ground and knelt at Su Jin. Got three heads.
"Go, go, leave your coaxing tricks to the ears of the emperor. You are too glib. No wonder the Queen Mother is angry. Xiao Si, you have to be more honest in the future. Sometimes you are too arrogant. "It's not a good thing for you, you know?" she said seriously.
"Yes, yes, Xiaosi listens to aunt's teachings." Xiaosi stood up and smiled at Sujin, "It's better for aunt to treat slaves."
Su Jin rolled her eyes at him: "Zhui Feng, I don't know where he went. You can help Doctor Zhang carry the medicine box and send him home. By the way, he can help you look at the wound on your butt."
"Auntie, you are so thoughtful." Xiaosi stuck out his tongue, feeling even more grateful for Horjin's kindness.
He had received more than a dozen blows with the stick in the past, but the wounds were only superficial, but the last blow with the stick was very severe. As soon as the stick hit him, his hip was split open, and the pain was so deep that he could not even walk.
"Xiao Si, follow me."
Doctor Zhang saw that he had nothing to do here, so he thought about returning home early. He had not yet completed the errands assigned to him by the emperor.
Xiao Si followed Doctor Zhang and limped away.
Su Jin then ordered several guards to move the torture instruments out of the room. She also quietly exited and closed the door. She thought that the Queen Mother and the Emperor, mother and son, might have a lot to say in private, so it would be better for her to listen less. .
In the dormitory.
Empress Dowager Zhou lay quietly on the bed, covered with a brocade quilt. Mo Chuan squatted in front of the bed and gently beat her legs.
There is a burner of incense burning in the incense burner in the room, exuding a faint and sweet smell, which is quite calming.
Neither mother nor son spoke.
Queen Mother Zhou closed her eyes and seemed to have fallen asleep, but Mo Chuan knew that she was not asleep. She still had something to say to herself.
He was not in a hurry to speak, just waited silently.
Sure enough, after a while, Zhou Tairan still closed his eyes and spoke slowly.
"Chuan'er, Queen Mother asked someone to teach Xiao Si a lesson and almost killed him. Do you blame Queen Mother?"
Her tone was kind. Instead of calling him "Emperor" as usual, she called him "Chuan'er". The intimacy was obvious.
There were only mother and son here. She didn't need to act like a queen mother in front of everyone. She used the tone and attitude of a mother towards her son.
Mo Chuan's eyes flashed, and there was a hint of intimacy in his eyes. He rarely heard Empress Dowager Zhou speak to him so lovingly.
"The son does not blame the queen. The son just feels sorry for Xiao Si. He and his son grew up together, just like my siblings. He was injured, and the son feels the same way. If the queen loves her son, don't embarrass Xiao Si in the future." He said in a low voice.
Facing such a gentle and loving Empress Dowager Zhou, he also put down the burden of being an emperor. These words came from the bottom of his heart.
