Chapter 423

"I dare use my head to guarantee it, but I don't know if the Empress Dowager dares to drink it." Chen Ning said with a faint smile.

"How arrogant!" How could Empress Dowager Zhou not know that they were acting, but she couldn't take it. She said in a deep voice, "Ding Yuan Princess, go and brew medicine for this widow. This widow will immediately drink it for you!"

"Yes, Empress Dowager."

Chen Ning let out a sigh of relief. She took the Spring Jade and left the room, closing the door behind her.

She knew that Empress Dowager Zhou was still worried about her, so she deliberately sent her away.

She wasn't willing to get involved in this mess, so she was happy that she didn't know.

Very quickly, she prepared a bowl of medicine made from the roots of the Spring Jade in the small kitchen on the side. The water was a deep purple colour and it had a faint fishy smell to it.

Chen Ning waited for a while. She estimated that the mother and son should have finished talking about the secret matters before heading to Empress Dowager Zhou's room with the bowl of medicine.

When she reached the door, the door was opened from the inside.

"Is the medicine done?" Mo Chuan very naturally took the bowl of medicine from her hands and looked at her cheeks that were slightly red from being baked by the stove, "It's been hard on you."

Chen Ning did not even have time to speak before Empress Dowager Zhou gave a dissatisfied "ze" sound.

"Emperor, is it hard to brew a bowl of medicine for this widow? This widow gave birth to you, why don't you ask this widow if it's hard or not! "

Chen Ning couldn't help lowering her head and curling her lips.

She found that Empress Dowager Zhou was not scary at all, rather she was very interesting.

Although her tone was harsh to her son and she had an angry expression on her face, her eyes were warm. This was a kind of mother's love for her son from the bottom of her heart, making her seem very lively.

Mo Chuan placed the bowl of medicine in front of Empress Dowager Zhou's lips with a faint smile.

"Your son will feed mother this medicine."

"Humph, I don't dare trouble the emperor, this widow will drink it myself!" Empress Dowager Zhou raised the bowl of medicine and drank it all in one gulp.

She placed the bowl of medicine to the side and coldly looked at Mo Chuan.

"If this widow dies from the poison, you can do whatever you want, right? Emperor, you ….. "

She wanted to scold Mo Chuan with a few words, but her brows suddenly knit together and she revealed a look of pain.

"What's wrong with mother?" Mo Chuan instantly revealed a nervous expression. Although he believed that Chen Ning would not harm Empress Dowager Zhou, he was worried that Empress Dowager Zhou would feel uncomfortable after taking the medicine.

"I … I'm not feeling well. Emperor, all of you get out, get out."

Empress Dowager Zhou waved her hand and her pale face turned slightly red.

Mo Chuan was even more worried, "Your son will immediately summon the doctor."

Empress Dowager Zhou was already not willing to say another word. Her forehead was covered in sweat as she quickly got off the bed and walked to the washroom on the side, not even using her cane.

"We'll go and wait."

Of course Chen Ning knew why Empress Dowager Zhou had an awkward expression and was in a hurry. She pulled Mo Chuan's sleeve and the two of them left the room.

"Ning,'t, Ning," Ning, Ning, will Dowager,'t't.

"Wu, it should be fine. The Empress Dowager should be detoxifying." Chen Ning vaguely replied.

"Detoxify?" Mo Chuan was stunned, but he immediately understood what it meant. His lips moved and he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
