Chapter 1552

Empress Dowager Zhou gave a slight nod, "That's right, that's right. Speaking of this widow, I really need to thank that ancient divine doctor. Emperor, summon him to the palace tomorrow, this widow will reward him generously."

Mo Chuan replied, "Mother, that ancient divine doctor left the capital this morning and went back to the Godly Doctor Valley."

"What? He already left? Why so suddenly? " Empress Dowager Zhou was shocked. She put down the chopsticks in her hand and revealed a regretful expression. She gave a faint sigh and said, "This widow has received his favour, but before I can repay him, he has already left like this. How can this widow's heart be at peace?"

"Imperial Mother, as a doctor, Divine Doctor Gu's duty as a doctor is to treat and save people. He won't covet Imperial Mother's reward. I originally wanted to reward him heavily, but after thinking about it, I couldn't think of a suitable gift. If I rewarded such an extraordinary person like him with a high official's gift, it would be an insult to him. As for his kindness in treating Imperial Mother's illness, I will remember it in my heart. As long as there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay his kindness."

Empress Dowager Zhou nodded and said, "You have to remember it. Receiving a bit of kindness from someone, you have to repay it with a spring. You can't not repay him just because he is a divine doctor. This widow also heard that he took your empress as his disciple, is this true?"

Mo Chuan replied, "That's right, there is this matter. Ning 'er is naturally intelligent and has a photographic memory, so the ancient divine doctor likes her a lot. That's why he took her as his last disciple."

Empress Dowager Zhou picked up a dish and took a bite. Then she put down the chopsticks and said, "That is her good fortune. Only, since she took the ancient divine doctor as her master and the master left, why hasn't she left as his disciple? Could it be she isn't going to the Godly Doctor Valley to learn medicine with the ancient divine doctor? Perhaps she can't bear the pain of cultivating in the mountains, so she can't bear to leave the prosperity of the capital and the fine clothes and food in the palace. "

She revealed a faint cold smile and revealed a look of disdain.

Mo Chuan replied with a serious expression, "Mother has wronged Ning 'er. She was indeed going to the Godly Doctor Valley to learn medicine with the ancient divine doctor, but your son couldn't bear for her to leave, so he forced her to stay with your son."

He knew that Empress Dowager Zhou was still dissatisfied with Chen Ning, but he couldn't tell Empress Dowager Zhou about Chu Shao Yang's betrayal, so he used himself as the reason.

When Empress Dowager Zhou heard this, she couldn't help glaring at him in disappointment.

"Emperor, how can you be so sentimental? You've truly wasted all the teachings I've given you!"

"Yes, it's all your son's fault. Your son feels like there are fewer and fewer people he can trust by his side, so he treasures everyone around him. Your son can't bear to part with Ning 'er and your son can't bear to part with mother. Your son only wants to see mother healthy and happy every day, that's enough." Mo Chuan looked at Empress Dowager Zhou with sincere eyes.

His words came from the bottom of his heart. Ever since Chu Shao Bai left, he had been feeling guilty. If he knew this day would come, he would have treated Chu Shao Bai well.

Empress Dowager Zhou's heart skipped a beat. She reached out and placed her hand on the back of Mo Chuan's hand, "Good child, for you to say these words, it's not a waste of mother's efforts."

Mother and Empress looked at each other and smiled. Their hearts were filled with boundless warmth. All the estrangement and confusion disappeared in this smile.
