Chapter 1341

"If the young miss likes it, I'll embroider a few more for you. What designs do you like? I'll immediately go embroider them! "Xiao Ru's tears immediately turned into a smile.

"Alright, I like orchids, plum blossoms, and dragonflies on top of lotuses." Chen Ning said with a smile.

"This servant will go embroider them now." Xiao Ru smiled as she ran back to her room.

Chen Ning smiled as she watched her leave and she couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief. It was a good thing this girl's mind was pure and she was easily coaxed.

Returning to her room, after waiting for a while, Zhui Feng brought news of Mo Chuan.

Empress Dowager Zhou's body was sick, so Mo Chuan stayed in the Peaceful Life Palace to take care of her. Xiao Si also stayed in the Peaceful Life Palace.

Hearing this, Chen Ning knit her brows.

She remembered that when she went to visit Empress Dowager Zhou this morning, although Empress Dowager Zhou wasn't in a good mood due to lack of sleep, when she was chased out of the palace, she didn't seem sick at all.

But the Empress Dowager was sick, so how could she not visit her?

She stood up to leave and said, "Zhui Feng, tell people to prepare a sedan, I want to visit the Empress Dowager."

Zhui Feng hesitated a bit before saying, "The Empress Dowager has ordered that no one is allowed to disturb her, so it's best if the empress doesn't go."

"Oh?" Chen Ning stopped and turned around, "Then what did the emperor say?"

"The emperor told this subordinate to report to the empress that he will stay in the Peaceful Life Palace tonight to take care of the Empress Dowager, allowing the empress to rest early. Also, the emperor has hidden guards inside and outside the palace, so the empress can rest in peace."

Chen Ning remained silent, feeling that Empress Dowager Zhou's illness was strange. If she was really sick, why didn't she call for a doctor and instead had Mo Chuan stay to take care of her?

This was clearly an excuse to keep Mo Chuan in the Peaceful Life Palace, separating her and Mo Chuan.

But why did she do this? What was her goal?

She saw that Zhui Feng was about to leave, but she suddenly thought of something and called out to him.

"Other than the emperor, who else is staying in the Peaceful Life Palace?"

Zhui Feng stuttered as he said, "This subordinate ….. This subordinate doesn't know."

Chen Ning had already guessed it, "There's also Zhao Rong princess, right?"

Zhui Feng did not reply and lowered his head, not daring to look at Chen Ning.

She had a cold smile. So Empress Zhou had this idea!

Using his illness as an excuse to give Mo Chuan and Zhao Rong a chance to interact, it could be considered a lot of effort.

Mo Chuan was very filial to his mother. Even if he knew that Empress Dowager Zhou was pretending to be sick, he had to stay and serve her.

"I understand. You can leave now." She waved her hand.

Zhui Feng let out a sigh of relief and walked out like he had been granted amnesty.

"Zhui Feng you."

"What other orders does the Empress have?" Zhui Feng's breathing couldn't help stopping as he turned around.

Chen Ning's face was very calm, not showing any anger or annoyance. Her eyes fell onto Zhui Feng's face, sizing him up.

That probing gaze made Zhui Feng's heart jump up and down, making his body feel uncomfortable.

But he still kept his cool and didn't say a word.

Chen Ning took out Xiao Ru Xiu's pouch. She wanted him to take it, but seeing his blank expression, she changed her mind.

This pouch was Little Ru's gratitude towards him. Since this blockhead did not appreciate it, then why waste Little Ru's good intentions?

"There's nothing else. You can leave," she said lightly.
