Chapter 891

She silently thought, "Empress Dowager, this servant really didn't mean to help the emperor and miss Chen lie to you, but rather I couldn't bear to break them up. If you know the truth in the future, if you want to beat or scold me, just come at this servant. I just hope that you won't break them up."

Empress Dowager Zhou did not doubt her words at all. She didn't even ask anything else as she excitedly pulled Su Jin's hand.

"You came back just in time. The clothing department has just sent over the clothes for the emperor's wedding and this widow's eyes are already starting to blur. Quickly help this widow choose, which one is the best for the emperor to wear on his wedding day?"

Su Jin said with a smile, "Alright, I'm just afraid that this servant's eyes aren't good and the one I choose won't be to the Empress Dowager's liking."

"You've been by this widow's side for so many years, always doing things that suit this widow's liking. The one you choose will definitely be the one this widow is most satisfied with." Empress Dowager Zhou revealed a smile.

As Mo Chuan expected, Empress Dowager Zhou did not ask because she was too busy.

There were only three days until the emperor's wedding and there were too many things she had to prepare in these three days. She was so busy that she didn't even have time to sleep. Although she was this busy, Empress Dowager Zhou did not feel tired at all. She was filled with excitement and joy.

Seeing Empress Dowager Zhou like this, Su Jin was both happy and worried.

As the wedding approached, she became more and more nervous.

The news of the emperor's wedding spread through the streets of the capital city like it had wings overnight.

To the citizens, this was the second most joyous matter.

Moreover, they had heard that the empress that the Emperor wanted to marry was a commoner girl. She was not a noble girl of illustrious birth or a daughter of a noble family, but a girl from an ordinary commoner family like them. This caused their love and respect for the Emperor to increase a bit.

One after another, they inquired about which family's girl was so lucky that she suddenly flew up the branches and turned into a phoenix.

But no matter how they asked, no one could find the future empress' family background and they didn't even know her name.

But none of this was important. It did not decrease the love and respect the citizens had for their young emperor at all.

They were now warm, full, and well-fed. This was all brought to them by the young Emperor, so every family began to get busy preparing for the Emperor's wedding.

There were lanterns in front of each house and the streets were cleaned. The streets of the capital were cleaned and everyone had a happy expression on their faces. It was like the one getting married was not the emperor, but rather themselves.

This news naturally reached Chu Shao Yang's ears.

Ever since Chen Ning had married to East Qin, he had never left the house, not taking a single step out of the palace. Every day, he would lock himself in the stone room that imprisoned Chen Ning, lying on the bed that she had once laid on, drinking himself into a drunken stupor.

He did not go to court at all. He did not care about what happened in court at all.

Because she had left, she had also taken his heart with her. His chest was empty, and he spent his days in a drunken stupor.

Sometimes, when he was drunk, he would hug the two cold chains and cry silently. He thought of all the wrong things he had done to her, and regret gnawed at his heart like a poisonous snake.

"Ning 'er, I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong!"
