Chapter 408

Empress Dowager Zhou's cane hit the back of Mo Chuan's hand and shouted, "Let go!"

Mo Chuan did not move at all as he proudly stood there, "Mother, where are you taking Ning 'er?"

"He, he, emperor, your question is very strange. It was this widow's decree to summon the Ding Yuan Princess into the palace, so of course she has to be in this widow's palace. Could it be that the decree was fake!" Empress Dowager Zhou confidently said.

"Mother!" Mo Chuan was stunned. He never thought that Empress Dowager Zhou would do this.

He said in a deep voice, "You clearly know that the decree is ….."

"This widow doesn't know anything, this widow only knows that everyone knows that this widow gave the decree. Tomorrow, King Ding Yuan will come to find this widow, not you, the emperor!"

Empress Dowager Zhou's face was filled with rage, but Mo Chuan had a thoughtful look on his face. He could vaguely guess Empress Dowager Zhou's intentions.

Chen Ning's eyes revealed a glow of understanding. She lowered her head and covered the smile on her lips, secretly thinking that Empress Dowager Zhou really was a protective master. On the surface, she was scolding and beating her son, but she had already thought of a way to deal with the aftermath for her son.

She did not want her son to be called a ruler stealing a minister's wife and she did not want this royal family's scandal to spread, so she simply pushed the boat with the current.

It seemed like Empress Dowager Zhou taking her away wasn't malicious.

Mo Chuan had clearly thought of this as well. His tense face slightly relaxed, but he still held her hand without letting go.

"Mother ….."

How could he feel assured letting her leave his side? Especially with Empress Dowager Zhou's hidden strength, even he as her son could not see through her.

Empress Dowager Zhou raised her brows, "This widow wants to take her to the temple and have her copy some scriptures for this widow. Emperor, you won't even allow this?"

"Just copying scriptures?" Mo Chuan knit his brows.

"This widow's eyes are bad and the scriptures I read before were too small, so I can't see them clearly, so I need to find someone to help this widow copy them. The Ding Yuan Princess is intelligent, so it must be a good handwriting. This widow wants to ask you, are you willing to copy scriptures for this widow?" Empress Dowager Zhou ignored Mo Chuan and looked down to ask Chen Ning.

"This minister's concubine is willing." Chen Ning immediately replied.

"Emperor, the Ding Yuan Princess is willing, why are you stopping her? Could it be that you think this widow will make it hard for her? No matter what, she is my granddaughter-in-law. As the Empress Dowager, how could I make things difficult for a junior? What kind of person do you think I am? "

Empress Dowager Zhou was so angry that she couldn't help of her. of her of her.

Empress Dowager Zhou kept coughing in anger, not being.

"Alright, your son will believe mother once and hope that mother will keep her promise." Mo Chuan slowly released his hand and looked at Empress Dowager Zhou with cold eyes.

"Humph!" Empress Dowager Zhou did not even look at him. She turned around and walked out with her cane.

Empress Dowager Zhou did not bring Chen Ning back to her palace, but rather to the temple next to her palace.

"Ding Yuan Princess, this widow has said in front of the emperor that I won't make it hard for you and will only have you copy scriptures. There are a total of one hundred and eight scriptures here, so when you finish copying them, you can leave this temple. As for your food, there will naturally be someone who will send it over. Reading more scriptures and cultivating your mind is a very beneficial matter for you."

Her expression did not reveal any emotions. She pointed at the high pile of scriptures on the table and said, "In order to show your respect to the Bodhisattva, you should kneel and copy them."

Kneel and copy?
