“Reporting to the Empress Dowager, King Ding Yuan is here to see the Empress Dowager.”


  Before Empress Dowager Zhou and Mo Chuan could even speak two sentences, a maid reported from outside the door.

  Mo Chuan’s face instantly turned dark. Thinking of Chen Ning’s ripped clothes and the red marks on her neck from last night, he forcefully clenched his fists and his eyes burned with rage.

  “Good, he came right on time!” He was thinking about teaching that bastard a lesson and he had actually came by himself.

  Empress Dowager Zhou saw his expression and her expression became even darker than Mo Chuan’s.

  “Emperor, you can leave first.”


  “Mother! Your son has words to say to him!” Mo Chuan said in a deep voice.

  He wanted to use his fists to talk.

  Empress Dowager Zhou gave a cold laugh, “What do you want to talk to him about? You want to tell him that the respected emperor who can have all the women in the world wants to take his princess? Do you also want to tell him that you’re prepared to give a decree for his separation? Emperor, you may not care about your own reputation, but this widow will not allow you to do anything that will lose the face of our ancestors!”


  “Then your son will no longer be the emperor.” Mo Chuan had no hesitation.

  “This widow worked hard to raise you onto the throne and you think you can just give up if you say so?” Empress Dowager Zhou pointed her finger at him in a determined manner, “For a woman, you can even give up the royal throne? This widow is telling you, you will be the emperor whether you’re willing or not! If you dare give up the throne, this widow will immediately order for that girl’s death!”


  Mo Chuan’s body suddenly turned cold. He knew that Empress Dowager Zhou making this vow was not just to scare him with.

  “Being so impatient, have you forgotten everything this widow has taught you? To do things, you must plan out your actions. Emperor, go and think about this widow’s words! Now, go in for this widow!” Empress Dowager Zhou pointed at room as her face turned stern.

  Plan out your actions!

  Empress Dowager Zhou clearly had words hidden in her words!

  Mo Chuan stared at Empress Dowager Zhou with sparkling eyes, like he had understood something. Then he turned around and walked into the room.

  Empress Dowager Zhou suppressed her anger and she revealed a calm expression on her face.

  “Let King Ding Yuan come in.” She ordered in a deep voice.

  Chu Shao Yang walked through the Peaceful Life Palace with large steps.

  He did not sleep all night and looked very tired. It was very different from his usual handsome and high spirited person.

  Anger, hate, and disappointment, all kinds of emotions were buried deep in his heart.

  He looked over to see Empress Dowager Zhou sitting in the yard enjoying the flowers.

  “Royal grandmother! Shan Yang has done something wrong, I ask the Empress Dowager to punish your grandson!” He kneeled down in front of Empress Dowager Zhou.

  Empress Dowager Zhou’s eyes raised when she heard this. Looking at Chu Shao Yang, she couldn’t help being surprised, “Shao Yang, what’s wrong?”


  She was not Chu Shao Yang and Chu Shao Bai’s biological grandmother, but in terms of seniority, Chu Shao Yang could be considered her grandson. In public, Chu Shao Yang had always respectfully called her Empress Dowager.

  Her surprise was not from his address, but rather Chu Shao Yang’s appearance.

  Chu Shao Yang was barely dressed, revealing his pale skin. He was carrying a bundle of firewood on his back, with bloodshot sunken eyes.

  When Empress Dowager Zhou saw him, she almost could not recognize him.

  “Shao Yang, why are you dressed like this? What are you carrying on your back? Did you think that this widow’s Peaceful Life Palace didn’t have enough firewood and came to bring some over for this widow?” Empress Dowager Zhou of course knew Chu Shao Yang’s meaning, but she pretended not to know.
