Chapter 982: How would he deal with it
Empress Dowager Zhou gave a low sigh. She looked at Chen Ning on the bed and there was only sympathy in her eyes, but there was no sadness.
“Pitiful child. This widow admired our talent and decided on you as the empress, but you don’t have this blessing. As soon as you were married, you…..” She shook her head and didn’t finish her words.
Mo Chuan’s fists tightened and he stared at Empress Dowager Zhou without turning.
“What does mother mean by this? Are you saying that she is blessed with a short life and couldn’t be the empress, so this misfortune befell her?” He said in a sharp voice.
Empress Dowager Zhou was not angry as she patted the back of his hand.
“Emperor, mother is not a heartless person. This widow just feels pity for her.”
Mo Chuan said in a cold voice, “Pity? If it wasn’t for the good daughter mother gave birth to, how could your son’s empress become like this?”
Empress Dowager Zhou’s hands slightly trembled and she looked up to say, “Emperor, have you investigated this matter? Was it really done by An Le?”
“Your son has investigated everything thoroughly and An Le has already confessed herself. What, is mother here today not to see your son’s empress, but rather to plead for mercy for An Le?” Mo Chuan’s voice was a bit unkind.
Empress Dowager Zhou was a bit annoyed, but her face didn’t show it at all.
“Emperor, you think your mother is someone who puts personal affairs first? If this matter was really done by An Le, this widow will definitely not protect her. But if it wasn’t done by her, this widow does not want to see her being used as a scapegoat!”
Mo Chuan’s expression changed, but he said nothing.
Empress Dowager Zhou then added, “This widow gave birth to her, so this widow is very clear on her personality. If we talk about fighting, she is the most skilled, but for this kind of underhanded method, this is not something she would do with her personality.”
“Your son did not believe that it was done by An Le, but when this matter happened, your son was beside the empress. Your son clearly saw everything and if mother still doesn’t believe it, please look at this.”
Mo Chuan didn’t explain it and went over to pick up a red gift box from the table to the side. He placed it in front of Empress Dowager Zhou and slowly opened the box.
Empress Dowager Zhou and Su Jin looked into the box. There was a white spotted black snake inside, with its head separated from its body. That terrifying looking snake had its mouth wide open and the two of them broke out in cold sweat in fear.
“This, this, this…..” Even with the experience Empress Dowager Zhou had, when she saw this poisonous snake, she felt her tongue turn numb.
“Mother can look more closely, this box is from An Le’s manor. Your son personally saw the snake drill out of the box and bite her right hand! Mother, can you still say that this matter is not related to An Le?” Mo Chuan looked at Empress Dowager Zhou without turning.
Although Empress Dowager Zhou was his birth mother and he listened to Empress Dowager Zhou, he was not foolishly filial. When this matter had just happened, Ye Ting Xuan had suspected that it was done by Empress Dowager Zhou. Mo Chuan also faintly had this suspicion, but with his identity, it wasn’t convenient for him to say it.
Chen Ning mentioned this “scaring the snake” method which conformed to his thoughts.
But he was most worried that Empress Dowager Zhou would be this “snake” that would be scared out!
If this matter was related to Empress Dowager Zhou, how would he deal with it!
