Chapter 428

"Your son thanks mother for your help!" Mo Chuan gave a deep bow to Empress Dowager Zhou, expressing his heartfelt respect.

Empress Dowager Zhou's face turned serious and she said with a cold smile, "Help? When did I say that I was going to help you? Emperor, don't come to the Peaceful Life Palace to pay your respects in the next few days, otherwise you'll attract criticism. Also, don't do anything that will shame the ancestors. I don't mind telling you, this widow has already sent King Jing An to guard the temple. If you dare take a single step into the temple, this widow will have him break one of that girl's legs. If you take two steps into the temple, then break both of that girl's legs. If your entire body enters the temple, tell me, what will this widow do? "

Mo Chuan couldn't help being angry as he said in a cold voice, "Mother, why don't you just give the order to cut off your son's head? If there's a mistake, it's your son's fault, it has nothing to do with her. You promised your son that you wouldn't make it hard for her, could it be that mother doesn't keep her words?"

"This widow does not plan on making it hard for her, but if the emperor forgets his status, this widow will not be merciful." Empress Dowager Zhou waved her sleeve and swept away the tea on the table. She shouted, "Emperor, it's already late, you should go back and take care of your affairs. There are many important matters to take care of every day, but you're wasting time here for a woman! Could it be that the citizens are not as important as a woman in your heart? Don't make this widow look down on you! "

Her words were like a whip that slapped Mo Chuan's face.

Mo Chuan raised his chin and his eyes revealed a determined look, "Mother, the citizens are important, but she is also important. Your son understands mother's meaning, your son will not disappoint mother and mother will not disappoint your son."

Empress Dowager Zhou's face finally calmed down and she revealed a satisfied look, "Good child, as long as you do a good job, this widow will not disappoint you. Only this widow has heard that East Qin has already sent an envoy to ask for the tribute and will arrive in the capital city in a few days. Has the emperor prepared to welcome them? "

Mo Chuan had a serious expression as he nodded, "Those who come do not have good intentions and those with good intentions will not come. It is clearly not the time to hand over the tribute yet, but they have already sent someone to ask for it. It is clear that they have other plans. Mother can be assured, your son will be careful and will not give them any chance."

When Empress Dowager Zhou heard this, she let out a sigh. She looked at Mo Chuan with a motherly look for the first time, "Good child, this widow has placed this heavy burden on your shoulders, it has truly been hard on you. This widow went against everyone and pushed you to the throne not because I was selfish, but other than you, there was no one that could take this heavy burden. In these past few years, you, this widow must not. It must have been hard. Mo. Empress. Dowager's son's words, Emperor.

In fact, she didn't need to ask to know that ever since her son ascended to the throne, his temperament had become more and more cold and aloof. He rarely smiled and buried himself in the affairs of the state all day long. He didn't even speak his mind to her, his birth mother.

I said said, she did not. Dowager Dowager.

But she could tell that he was not happy being the emperor.

He was taciturn, he was melancholy.

Seeing this as his mother, how could her heart not ache? She truly hoped that her son could find someone he liked, untie the knot in his heart, and make him smile.

Empress Dowager Zhou saw an unprecedented glow in Mo Chuan's eyes for the first time yesterday. He used that kind of deep and focused gaze to look at a girl, he couldn't help smiling at her …..
