Chapter 389: No good was coming

Xiao Si’s body gave a fierce tremble .  There was killing intent in the Empress Dowager’s words, so if he said nothing, then even if the emperor protected him, he shouldn’t think about keeping his head .

“Reporting to the Empress Dowager, this servant has seen and heard nothing earlier . ”  Xiao Si steeled himself .

He would rather lose his head then betray his master .

“Good, Xiao Si, you can stand up .  For your master to have such a loyal servant, this widow is also happy for the emperor . ”  Empress Dowager Zhou’s voice changed tones and Xiao Si almost could not believe his ears .

“This widow has been sick in bed recently and missed a happy event, I feel ashamed to mention it .  King Ding Yuan, I’ve heard that not only did you gain a princess, you even gained a concubine, you must have brought them into the palace with you .  Bring them up to see this widow, this widow still has to give them a reward . ”  Empress Dowager Zhou said with a kind look on her face .

Ever since the eldest princess said Chen Ning’s name, Chu Shao Yang’s face had turned dark as the watery depths .  Hearing this, his face turned even more sinister .

He did not say a word as he pulled Chen Ning in front of Empress Dowager Zhou and kneeled down .

“I greet the Empress Dowager .  This is my princess, Miss Chen .  The concubine consort Chen Bi Yun has made a mistake and has already been imprisoned in the Cold Palace by the emperor . ”

“Oh, Miss Chen, come up here .  Let this widow take a look at you . ”  Empress Dowager Zhou did not pursue the matter of Chen Bi Yun being imprisoned since she already knew this matter .

The separation between King Ding Yuan and his princess was not a matter that she needed to care about at all .

However, Empress Dowager Zhou never thought that the Ding Yuan Princess and her son had an affair .  This was definitely not allowed!

Chen Ning took two steps forward like she was ordered .  She slightly raised her head and lowered her brows a bit, letting Empress Dowager Zhou see her face .

She didn’t need to look up to tell that nothing good was coming .

“You truly are beautiful, even more so than all the other girls brought here today .  King Ding Yuan is truly blessed . ”  Empress Dowager Zhou praised her with a smile .  She picked up a smooth jade bracelet and personally placed it in Chen Ning’s hands .

“Many thanks for the Empress Dowager’s reward . ”  Chen Ning looked down and thanked her .

“After sitting so long, this widow is feeling tired .  However, being able to see a beautiful girl like you that is even more beautiful than the flowers, this widow did not waste her time .  Emperor, could you send this widow home?”  Empress Dowager Zhou slowly stood up .

Everyone was stunned .  The Empress Dowager was leaving like this?

They were prepared to see a great storm, but they never thought that it would be this calm .

Mo Chuan helped support the Empress Dowager and replied, “Your son is willing . ”

Empress Dowager Zhou patted the back of his hand and nodded .  She looked over at Chu Shao Yang with a smile and said, “King Ding Yuan, you’ve gotten such a beautiful girl to be your princess, you must take care of her .  With such a beautiful girl, you should bring her back as soon as possible .  Otherwise, it will be too late if someone else sets her eyes on her . ”

The expressions on a few people’s faces changed .

Chen Ning thought that this old ginger really was spicy .  Empress Dowager Zhou made no moves, but she had already planned everything .  She pushed her to Chu Shao Yang’s side with just a single phrase .

With her speaking up, it was impossible for her to return to the Hu Guo Manor right now .

Chu Shao Yang never thought that Empress Dowager Zhou would support him .  His heart filled with joy and he bowed down again, “Many thanks Empress Dowager . ”

“Mother… . . ”  Mo Chuan slightly knit his brows, but he was cut off by Empress Dowager Zhou .

“Emperor, arguments between a married couple isn’t all that important .  As King Ding Yuan’s elder, you should be trying to help King Ding Yuan fix his marriage .  The Ding Yuan Princess wants to return to her parent’s home out of anger, but it is just words of anger .  How could you follow along with her!  Listen to this widow’s words .  Let this young couple return to their palace and in less than three days, they will be able to patch things up .  Isn’t that right, King Ding Yuan?”

Empress Dowager Zhou looked down at Chu Shao Yang .
