Chapter 410

Chen Ning's words weren't ugly, but she didn't know how to use a brush. Seeing the crooked words, she felt embarrassed. She crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it into the wastebasket.

She gave a yawn and said with a smile, "Aunt Su Jin, I'm tired. Can I copy scriptures after I wake up?"

"This ….." Su Jin was speechless.

She had never seen such a bold girl before. Copying scriptures was the Empress Dowager's orders, but she didn't care at all. Wasn't she afraid of angering the Empress Dowager?

"It's getting late, aunt Su Jin should go rest. After I wake up tomorrow, I'll naturally copy scriptures."

Chen Ning looked around, wanting to find a place to sleep. However, other than a table, a chair, and a shrine, there were only a few prayer mats.

Her eyes fell onto the prayer mats and couldn't help lighting up.

She placed the prayer mats in a row and laid down on top of them, directly closing her eyes.

Su Jin looked at her in a daze, not knowing how to report this matter to the Empress Dowager.

After a while, she saw that Chen Ning had fallen asleep, so she quietly left the temple and reported to Empress Dowager Zhou.

"You're saying that the girl ate her fill and then went to sleep after drawing a few earthworms?" Empress Dowager Zhou knit her brows when she heard this, feeling this was incredible.

But she didn't care about this. It wasn't important if she copied scriptures or not, it was just an excuse to keep her here.

"Forget it, let her be. Watch over her for this widow, she's not allowed to step out of the temple and no one is allowed to enter the temple. Even if the emperor comes, she is not allowed!"

After Empress Dowager Zhou gave this order, she couldn't help coughing.

Su Jin quickly placed the cold medicine in Empress Dowager Zhou's hands. When Empress Dowager Zhou finished drinking it, she hesitantly said, "Empress Dowager, if the emperor really comes, this servant can't stop him no matter what. Moreover, the emperor's martial arts are very good, even if he enters the temple, this servant won't be able to find him."

"You're right." Empress Dowager Zhou pondered for a bit before her eyes fell onto the medicine bowl on the table. Her eyes lit up and she said with a faint smile, "This widow being able to recover from my illness is all thanks to King Jing An's medicine for this widow."

"Yes, this servant also heard that in order to ask for medicine for the Empress Dowager, he knelt in front of the number one divine doctor's door for seven days and seven nights before the divine doctor was finally moved to give the Empress Dowager a prescription. Only the materials on it are very precious and hard to find, so King Jing An had to run through half of the West Chu to collect them. After he returned to the palace, he personally brewed the medicine for the Empress without rest. With a grandson like King Jing An, to to to the Dower to, the King.

Mentioning King Jing An, Chu Shao Bai, the two of them revealed smiles. It was clear that Chu Shao Bai was very popular in the royal palace.

Empress Dowager Zhou slowly nodded and revealed a loving look in her eyes, "Yes, Shao Bai is a good filial child. If the emperor was half as filial as him, this widow would have less to worry about."

Su Jin pursed her lips into a smile and said, "The emperor is also filial to the Empress Dowager. That decree for King Jing An to find the divine doctor was personally given by the emperor. How can the Empress Dowager only accept King Jing An's favour and ignore the emperor's intentions?"

She had already served Empress Dowager Zhou for over thirty years and was the most trusted person by Empress Dowager Zhou's side. She was not as timid as the other maids and was much more casual.
