Chapter 867

The next girl saw Empress Dowager Zhou look at her and immediately replied, "I'll save both of them. I know how to swim, so I can save one with one hand."

After she said this, she thought she had learned from her mistake and was trying to please both sides.

Who would have thought that Empress Dowager Zhou would slowly shake her head, "This widow has already said that you can only save one, this answer is not good. Next. "

Her eyes went past that girl and turned to the next one.

The girl's face turned red, then white, then green, then black. She almost cried on the spot.

When the other girls saw this, they all secretly said, "Serves you right!"

With this girl's lesson, they no longer dared to try tricks and could only honestly choose one to answer.

If it wasn't to save the emperor, then it was to save the Empress Dowager. In the end, there were only two answers.

Every time the girls answered who to save, Empress Dowager Zhou would ask, "The reason?"

Reason? It was already not easy for these girls to make such a difficult choice, how could they think of a reason?

But since the Empress Dowager asked, they couldn't not answer. They could only think of all sorts of reasons.

Empress Dowager Zhou listened to them one by one. The girls' answers were either trying to please her or trying to flatter her. The more she listened, the more boring it became. Her heart was filled with disappointment.

"Next." She was already a bit disheartened and drowsy. She used her hand to support her forehead as she leaned back in the chair and slightly closed her eyes.

A clear and melodious voice rang out.

"I choose to save the Empress Dowager."

Empress Dowager Zhou had already heard this answer so many times. She closed her eyes and continued to ask, "The reason?"

"There is only one reason because the Empress Dowager is the emperor's mother and the emperor rules the country with filial piety. If I was the empress, I would have to teach the Empress Dowager. I can't let the emperor be condemned by everyone and become a disloyal and unfilial person."

"Yi?" This unexpected answer made Empress Dowager Zhou open her eyes.

She found that the one answering the question was the green clothed girl.

"Then you saved this widow and the emperor is about to drown. As the empress, are you just going to watch your husband die?" Empress Dowager Zhou followed up with a question.

"Husband and wife are one. If he dies, how can I live alone? So I will choose to save the Empress Dowager and then die with the emperor. "The green clothed girl replied without any hesitation.

Empress Dowager Zhou's back unknowingly straightened. She stared right at the girl and found that the other side's eyes were as clear as a spring, without any impurities at all.

Although her voice was clear and soft, her tone was firm and her expression was serious. Her words came from her heart.

Interesting, this girl's answer was interesting.

Empress Dowager Zhou's heart was filled with satisfaction. She looked at Mo Chuan from the corner of her eyes and found that Mo Chuan did not even look at the green clothed girl. He was just aimlessly looking around, as if the surrounding scenery was more beautiful than these beautiful girls.

Empress Dowager Zhou knew that her son's heart was not with the green clothed girl.

She sighed slightly. She didn't blame her son. After all, this girl was so ugly and she was a cripple. It would be strange if her son liked her! Especially the girl his son liked before. She was fresh and lively like a lotus flower on a snowy mountain, pure and refined. All the girls in front of him added up couldn't compare to her beauty.
