Chapter 530

Chu Shao Bai's face was filled with disbelief. He tightly held Empress Dowager Zhou's hand and begged, "But royal grandmother, didn't you always like third sister in law? She even helped you copy the scriptures, did you forget that? How could the words of a fortune teller count? "

Empress Dowager Zhou's face sunk and she revealed a look of displeasure, "Shao Bai, this matter concerns the safety of the country. Even if this widow likes her, we can't put our West Chu in danger for a single girl. The fortune teller said that if this girl isn't eliminated, West Chu will be in danger! If you can't do it, this widow will find someone else to do it. You just came back, so you must be tired. You should go back and rest. "

She gave the order for him to leave.

"Royal grandmother ….." Chu Shao Bai wanted to beg again, but Empress Dowager Zhou had already pulled her hand back. She waved at him and said, "You can leave. This widow is tired, so I want to rest."

Chu Shao Bai was still kneeling in front of the bed, not moving at all.

He forcefully gritted his teeth to the point they creaked, and his jet black and clear eyes were filled with pain.

He knew that Empress Dowager Zhou was not joking, she really would make a move against Chen Ning.

He never would have thought that as soon as he returned to the capital, Empress Dowager Zhou would give him this kind of task. It was a task that he couldn't do and it was impossible for him to complete.

But if he didn't agree, Empress Dowager Zhou would send someone else to do it.

"Alright, royal grandmother, this matter ….. I'll leave it to Shao Bai." His heart was filled with pain, it was like someone was stabbing it with a knife.

But he couldn't not agree.

He would rather let her die in his hands than allow someone else's knife to be stained with her blood.

"Shao Bai, this widow did not misjudge you. You really are the only good child this widow can trust." Empress Dowager Zhou happily patted his shoulder.

Chu Shao Bai did not know how he left the Peaceful Life Palace and he did not know where he was going.

He walked through the palace without knowing which direction to go. His heart was filled with pain and he was at a loss.

Empress Dowager Zhou's final words rang in his ears.

"If you don't bring her head back to see this widow, then you don't need to come back."

It seemed like Empress Dowager Zhou was determined to take her life.

What had happened in the few days he had been away from the capital? Why did the Empress Dowager suddenly change her mind and couldn't tolerate her?

He really wanted to find someone to ask about it.

But who should he ask? Who could tell him?

Su Jin?

But when Su Jin saw him, she hid faster than a rabbit. He knew that he couldn't get anything from Su Jin because Su Jin would never betray Empress Dowager Zhou, she wouldn't tell him a single word.

But was he really going to kill her?

Although she was his third sister-in-law in name, in his heart, she was the only girl he liked in this life. He loved her so much that he couldn't even bear to touch her finger. How could he kill her?

He raised his head. His eyes were moist, and everything he saw was a blur.

Hehe, thinking about it, it was really laughable. The thing that he had risked his life to protect, now he had to personally destroy it!

Wasn't this the greatest irony in the world?

Chu Shao Bai stopped moving. He had already made his decision. Since he promised Empress Dowager Zhou, he had to do it.

In this life, he had never done anything to disappoint Empress Dowager Zhou.
