Chapter 987

This He Shou Zheng had leapt over the dragon gate in a single night, going from seventh grade to fifth grade and becoming the vice commander of the royal army. He was so happy that it felt like he was dreaming, unable to close his mouth.

In the past, when he was guarding the city gates, everyone had to bow and bow to him. Now that he was the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, everyone had to respectfully greet him, "Deputy Commander He."

He had just been promoted, so he kept receiving invitations every day. Other than when he was on duty, there were banquets almost every day.

Zhui Feng had followed Mo Chuan's orders and had been secretly following him. Then he reported to Mo Chuan and Chen Ning what he had seen and what he had said to them every day.

After following him like this for two days, he didn't find anything strange.

Chen Ning was not in a rush and told Zhui Feng to patiently follow him. She believed that when they met again during the holidays, that big fish would not be able to hold back and would stir up a storm again. At that time, she would definitely be able to catch him!

At this time, there was quite a bit of disturbance in the royal palace.

The so called paper can't wrap fire. Chen Ning already knew that she couldn't hide her identity from Empress Dowager Zhou for long.

The calm days only lasted for three days before the day of the empress' coronation ceremony arrived.

According to tradition, the coronation ceremony would be held the day after the emperor and empress' wedding, but because of the accident in the nuptial chamber, the coronation ceremony had been postponed for three days.

On the eve of the coronation ceremony, Empress Dowager Zhou sent Su Jin to fetch the royal family's genealogy because the coronation was tomorrow. She found that she didn't know the empress' name or family background.

She looked through the royal family's genealogy and finally found this secret.

She stared at the two words on the genealogy and almost didn't dare believe her eyes. She couldn't help rubbing them and looking at them again, she found that it was still the same two words, "Chen Ning".

These two words were personally added by Mo Chuan. That elegant and familiar word, how could Empress Dowager Zhou not recognize it?

"Su Jin!" Empress Dowager Zhou's eyes swept over her, "Tell this widow, what is the name of the emperor's new empress!"

Su Jin had already expected this moment when she fetched the genealogy. Seeing Empress Dowager Zhou's question, she looked down and replied in a low voice, "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the empress' name is Chen ….. Ning."

"Good! Even a little girl like you is colluding with them to deceive this widow. Su Jin, this widow really cared for you for nothing! "

Empress Dowager Zhou angrily smashed the cup.

Su Jin quickly knelt down, "Empress Dowager, please calm your anger. This servant didn't mean to deceive Empress Dowager."

"You didn't mean it? Then you already knew? Speak, when did you know that the empress the emperor wanted to marry was that girl surnamed Chen! "Empress Dowager Zhou angrily said.

"This servant … … knew about it before Your Majesty's wedding." Su Jin knew that she couldn't hide it, so she reported everything to Empress Dowager Zhou. After she finished, she kept kowtowing to the empress.

"Empress Dowager, this matter is all this servant's fault. This servant lied to the Empress Dowager and didn't tell the Empress Dowager that the bride was miss Chen because this servant didn't have the heart to separate them. The emperor and miss Chen have deep feelings for each other and it wasn't easy for them to be together. I beg the Empress Dowager to help them!"
