“Your son was not happy before, but right now, your son is very happy. Mother, your son’s happiness and joy is all in your hands.” Mo Chuan took Empress Dowager Zhou’s hands and slowly put them together.

  Empress Dowager Zhou’s expression became stern and her eyes sank, “Emperor, you’re wrong. Your happiness and joy are in your own hands.

  Mo Chuan nodded and let go of Empress Dowager Zhou’s hands, “Your son understands. Your son will remember everything mother has taught him. There are many government affairs to take care of, so your son will not come back in the next few days. Mother, please take care of yourself.”


  He energetically finished and then marched off at a steady pace, not looking back at all.

  Empress Dowager Zhou looked at his straight back and her eyes slowly revealed a look of praise.

  But when her eyes fell onto the closed doors of the temple, she couldn’t help knitting her brows.

  How to solve this tricky problem, even she could not think of a method.

  Ba, ba, ba, they could only go one step at a time.

  *

  The news of Chu Shao Yang coming to the Peaceful Life Palace to apologize and being rejected by the Empress Dowager was told to Chen Ning by Su Jin soon after.

  After she heard this, she raised her brows and gave a light smile, not finding this surprising at all.

  After Empress Dowager Zhou drank the antidote, she changed from calling her “Ding Yuan Princess” to “young miss Chen”. Although they were both three words long, the meaning was very different.

  This meant that Empress Dowager Zhou was slowly coming to accept her request for a separation. She just needed a reasonable opportunity and she’ll be able to shut the mouths of everyone under the heavens.

  Chen Ning knew that Empress Dowager Zhou loved her son and she would not allow anything to ruin the royal family’s face. As long as she was Chu Shao Yang’s princess, she and Mo Chuan did not have a future together.

  She used the excuse of resting after copying scriptures all night to have Su Jin leave the temple. Then she began to focus completely on making the thunderbolt eggs.

  Because she succeeded before, this time was was making the thunderbolt eggs more powerful and more explosive. She believed that Chu Shao Yang would be blown up, being covered in smoke.

  When she handed the thunderbolt eggs to Chu Shao Bai, she reminded him to be careful using them, otherwise he might accidentally blow himself up.

  Chu Shao Yang agreed and carefully placed the thunderbolt eggs in a leather bag. He was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something.

  “Ning’er, I heard that third brother came to the Peaceful Life Palace to beg for forgiveness today and to have you go back with him, why did you not……”


  When he turned around, his words suddenly froze in his throat.

  Chen Ning had raised a thunderbolt egg, angrily glaring at him.

  “Don’t, don’t throw it, please don’t throw it. I, I made a mistake and I apologize to you. Ning’er, I will never mention that person’s name to you ever again.”


  Chu Shao Bai deliberately revealed a frightened expression, but his heart was filled with joy.

  When he heard this news, he immediately came back to the palace. He was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to see her again if he was late.

  It was good that she didn’t leave.

  “Xiao Bai, also take this and help me blow him up! Blow him up so even his butt bleeds!” Chen Ning also gave the thunderbolt egg in her hand to Chu Shao Bai, as she spoke in a voice filled with hate.

  “Who? Blow up who until their butt bleeds?” Chu Shao Bai could not react.

  “That bastard of course!” Chen Ning gritted her teeth.

  Chu Shao Bai immediately understood that she had misunderstood him.

  He looked to the side, not daring to look at her.

  If she knew that he wanted these thunderbolt eggs not to blow up his third brother and wanted to blow up her bodyguard Xiao Hei, would she ignore him from now on?
