Chapter 421

"Fight poison with poison?" Empress Dowager Zhou pondered for a bit before slightly looking down at Chen Ning. This was the first time she felt that her words weren't without reason.

However, should he really believe the words of this lass and drink the water boiled from the roots of the Spring Jade which contained a deadly poison?

What if everything this lass said was a lie? Then wouldn't he die from being poisoned?

Empress Dowager Zhou couldn't make up her mind.

"Mother, your son believes Ning 'er's words are all true!"

A clear voice like spring water hitting stone suddenly came from the door. A bright yellow slender figure walked in with steady steps.

Mo Chuan looked very handsome under the sunlight. He had the aura of an emperor that people couldn't look at.

When he appeared, all the maids and eunuchs knelt down, not daring to even breathe loudly.

"Your son greets mother and greets mother." Mo Chuan respectfully greeted Empress Dowager Zhou.

Empress Dowager Zhou looked at him and said in a soft sarcastic voice, "Why does the emperor have the time to greet this widow today? Aren't you busy with court matters? Or is there something in this widow's Peaceful Life Palace that attracted the emperor, making you rush over as soon as the court session ended? "

Mo Chuan looked at Chen Ning and said without a blush on his face, "Mother is right. Your son likes the flowers in mother's yard and can't see them anywhere else, so your son will come to greet mother from time to time and admire the flowers."

Chen Ning lowered her head and couldn't help secretly gritting her teeth.

This was something the emperor should say, he didn't think it was disgusting at all!

Empress Dowager Zhou felt the hairs on her arms stand up as she looked at Mo Chuan with a look of disbelief. She also suspected that she was looking at a fake son, a fake emperor.

Wasn't the emperor always silent? What kind of medicine did he take today?

"Everyone leave." Mo Chuan's cold eyes swept over them.

The maids and eunuchs quickly left.

Su Jin knew that the emperor had a secret matter to report to the Empress Dowager, so she also left with everyone else.

There was only Empress Dowager Zhou, Mo Chuan, and Chen Ning left in the large yard.

"Emperor, what do you mean by this?" Empress Dowager Zhou sat in her chair and calmly asked.

"Mother, your son has heard everything Ning 'er said just now. Your son believes that Ning' er is not lying, so I ask mother to believe Ning 'er." Mo Chuan looked at Empress Dowager Zhou.

"Why should this widow believe her just because you believe her? Ning 'er, Ning' er, is that something you should say? Emperor, remember your identity and remember her identity! "Empress Dowager Zhou angrily glared at Mo Chuan.

"Mother, don't be angry. Speaking of which, you've been suffering from insomnia for a year now, right?" Mo Chuan looked at the Spring Jade in Chen Ning's hand and revealed a look of deep thought, "If your son remembers correctly, it has been a year since the Spring Jade first bloomed. Mother began to feel restless and it happened not long after the Spring Jade bloomed. Mother, please think back, isn't that right?"

Empress Dowager Zhou thought about it and it really was like this, "So what if it is, perhaps it was just a coincidence. Why are you so sure that this widow was poisoned? There were many people in this widow's Peaceful Life Palace, so why was no one else poisoned and only this widow was poisoned! Emperor, tell me, what is the reason for this? If you don't know, then let the Ding Yuan Princess explain it to you. "

Mo Chuan couldn't answer her question.
