Chapter 1271

Empress Dowager Zhou knew that if a girl lost her innocence, her life would be over. There was no man that would marry a girl that wasn't innocent.

But Zhao Rong was still so young, sixteen years of age, could it be that he could only watch as this beautiful and moving flower withered before it even fully bloomed?

Thinking of how Zhao Rong's mother held her hand last year and entrusted Zhao Rong to her, Empress Dowager Zhou's heart sank.

No, she couldn't turn a blind eye to it!

Not to mention that Zhao Rong had spent so much effort and suffered so much, it was all for a single person and that was her son.

No matter what, she had to complete her promise to her mother and let Zhao Rong get what she wanted.

Empress Dowager Zhou's heart was set and her footsteps became steady. She would think of a way to let Zhao Rong live, giving her a chance to raise her head again!

Mo Chuan tightly held Chen Ning's hand the entire time. Once they left the Peaceful Life Palace, he quickly pulled her to a secluded corner, hiding from everyone's sight.

"Ning 'er, why are you so smart? If you didn't discover Mother Meng's scheme, I would have been forced into a dead end by mother. "

He lifted her chin and gazed deeply into her eyes. His eyes were burning with passion.

Chen Ning looked down and gave a soft sigh.

"What? Are you not happy that you've seen through Zhao Rong's scheme?" Mo Chuan could clearly feel the unhappiness in her heart.

She shook her head in confusion and placed her face against Mo Chuan's chest, feeling his steady and powerful heartbeat.

"Mo Chuan, I just feel that the palace is very terrifying. It's like a giant man-eating beast opening its bloody mouth. I'm very worried that one day, I will become a delicacy in its stomach, being swallowed by it without leaving a single piece of me behind."

The scene of Mother Meng and Mother Jiang having their tongues and feet cut off flashed in front of her and she couldn't help closing her eyes.

Mo Chuan felt her body tremble and tightly hugged her. He firmly said in her ear, "You don't need to be afraid of anything. With me here, even if the sky collapses, I will hold it up for you!"

His words were like a warm current that flowed into her heart, making her feel both sweet and blissful. She raised her head and met his gaze, a smile spreading from the corner of her eyes to the tip of her brows.

"You're the one who said this. If I really cause chaos here one day, don't blame me."

"He! If you want to cause trouble, I'll help you! "Mo Chuan lovingly pinched her nose.

"I want to set this place on fire and burn it down!" She rolled her eyes and deliberately said.

"Alright, then let's find a dark and windy night. I'll help you keep watch while you set the fire!" He did not hesitate at all.

Her eyes were a bit wet as she reached out to hold his neck and said in a soft voice, "Mo Chuan, don't be this good to me, you'll spoil me rotten."

"Silly girl, you are my most beloved girl. You are. If I don't treat you well, do you want me to treat Zhao Rong? What's more, spoiling you is my happiness. "He gazed at her affectionately.

Her face turned slightly red as she looked away and said, "You have a glib tongue. When did you learn to speak sweet words? Where did that silent Mo Chuan go? "

He said with a smile, "Whether or not I'm a smooth talker, won't you know after you try it?"
