Chapter 1551

"Mo Chuan, what's wrong?" Chen Ning followed his gaze.

"Someone's coming." Mo Chuan's hearing was very far, so he had already heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from the palace.

As expected, not long after, he heard a sharp voice from outside the door, "With the Empress Dowager's orders, I summon the emperor to the Peaceful Life Palace."

"Mother is looking for me?" Mo Chuan knit his brows. His first thought was that Empress Dowager Zhou wouldn't be forcing him to marry Zhao Rong again, right?

But then he thought of something else. Definitely not!

At this moment, Empress Dowager Zhou should already know about Zhao Rong's scandal in the An Qing palace, so she definitely wouldn't force him.

If it wasn't for Zhao Rong, then it had to be for Chu Shao Yang.

This was another matter that gave him a headache. Once Empress Dowager Zhou knew that Chu Shao Yang had defected to South Yue with the map and that he would bring troops to attack West Chu, Empress Dowager Zhou would be filled with rage and she would put this black pot on Chen Ning's head.

But since Empress Dowager Zhou summoned him, he couldn't hide it. Not to mention that in this palace, there were no walls that didn't have ears. Once Chu Shao Yang really brought troops here, the entire world would be shocked and this matter would reach Empress Dowager Zhou's ears sooner or later.

Rather than letting Empress Dowager Zhou be shocked and angry, it was better for him to report to Empress Dowager Zhou first. This way, Empress Dowager Zhou wouldn't be worried.

"Ning 'er, wait for me here. I'm going to see mother."

Chen Ning nodded and opened the medical book Gu Qingze left behind. With a calm smile, she said, "I'll wait here for you to come back."

Seeing her calm smile, Mo Chuan's heart became even more confident. He was willing to pay anything to protect her from harm, letting her always have this kind of smile on her face.

He followed the eunuch to the Peaceful Life Palace. When he left, he also placed the two military books that Chen Ning had written in his sleeves.

When he arrived at the Peaceful Life Palace, Empress Dowager Zhou had just sent out dinner. Seeing Mo Chuan enter the palace, Empress Dowager Zhou greeted him with a smile.

"Emperor, you've come at the right time. This widow has specially ordered the royal kitchen to prepare some of your favourite dishes, so you can eat in this widow's palace."

Mo Chuan saw that Empress Dowager Zhou's complexion was good. Her face was rosy and her eyes were filled with energy. He knew that this was all thanks to Gu Qingze's medicine.

"Good. The food in Mother's palace is excellent. Every time I come to Peaceful Life Palace to eat, I will eat two more bowls."

He sat down with a smile and said to Empress Dowager Zhou with a faint smile, "Has mother been well these past two days? Is there anything wrong? "

Empress Dowager Zhou personally picked up a dish for him and said with a smile, "This widow has been sleeping very well these past two days, falling asleep as soon as my head touched the pillow."

"Does mother still feel a headache?" Mo Chuan asked in a concerned voice.

He knew that Empress Dowager Zhou's headache was an old problem. As long as she was in a bad mood or excited mood, she would have a splitting headache. This problem had followed Empress Dowager Zhou for over twenty years. Since he was young, he often saw Su Jin massage Empress Dowager Zhou's forehead.

"Now that you mention it, it's quite strange. This old illness hasn't acted up in the past few days. If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten about it."

Empress Dowager Zhou looked at Su Jin serving on the side and asked, "Do you remember how long it's been since this widow has had this problem?"
