Chapter 1530

Chen Ning couldn't help letting out a "puchi" laugh.

"I understand, master." She turned around to look at Gu Qingze and her heart felt warm. From his words, she could feel his deep concern for her.

"Go."

Gu Qingze waved his hand and turned around in his chair. His back was facing her, not looking at her again.

Chen Ning looked at his thin back and her heart suddenly felt sour for some reason. She bowed down to his back and said in a low voice, "Master, I'm leaving."

Gu Qingze didn't even turn his head and just gave a "un" sound.

She bit her lip and suppressed the reluctance in her heart. She turned around and quickly walked out.

Gu Qingze waited until her footsteps could no longer be heard before he slowly turned around. He looked in the direction she left and maintained that posture for a very, very long time.

Chen Ning returned to the palace and went straight to the royal study. She knew that Mo Chuan would be in the royal study at this time. As expected, when she arrived at the royal study, she saw Xiao Si in the distance.

"Greetings to the empress."

Xiao Si had a worried look on his face, but when he saw Chen Ning, his eyes lit up.

"Empress, it's great that you're here. Quickly go in and see His Majesty. His Majesty has been in the study since the morning court session ended and hasn't come out until now. This servant brought him lunch and refreshments, but His Majesty didn't take a single bite and even chased this servant out. This servant is worried about His Majesty. He works so hard but doesn't eat or drink, how can his body bear it!"

"Is that so?" Chen Ning's eyes fell onto the box of food in his hand.

"What's inside?"

"These are the food and refreshments that the royal kitchen has just sent over, but the emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to disturb him. This servant doesn't dare enter." Xiao Si replied.

"Give it to me."

Chen Ning took the box of food and walked into the royal study. With a gentle push, the door opened.

Xiao Si looked at her with a face of worry. He was afraid that the emperor inside would lose his temper and kick the empress out.

Luckily, the study was silent. Mo Chuan wasn't angry and just softly said, "Close the door."

Xiao Si quickly closed the door and secretly wiped his cold sweat. He was thinking that it was a good thing the empress came over at this time. Only the empress could go in and calm the emperor down.

He ordered the guards on the left and right, "Stand a bit further away. The emperor and the empress don't like being heard by others."

The guards immediately replied, "Yes."

Chen Ning entered the royal study and walked in. Opening the door, she saw Mo Chuan's arms on the table. He was staring at a large map on the table with slightly knit brows. Hearing her footsteps, he didn't even look up.

"Ning 'er, why are you here?"

"Ning 'er, why are you here?"

Chen Ning said this as she walked over with the box of food. She placed the box of food on the side of the square table and opened the lid. She placed the food and refreshments on the table one by one.

The fragrance of food wafted into her nostrils, and she suddenly felt hungry. Only then did she remember that she had not eaten yet.

"Mo Chuan, although the country is important, your body is more important. If you don't eat your fill, how will you have the energy to think about the country? She walked over to grab Mo Chuan's hand and spoke in a soft voice.

Mo Chuan finally looked up from the map and revealed a faint smile to her.
