Dong Fang Su looked up at the silent Chen, and said in a low voice: "matriarch …"

The Chen raised a hand to interrupt him, and said after taking a deep breath, "Tell me everything that has happened these past few days in detail, don't leave a single detail out."

Dong Fang Su told them everything that happened along the way. In order to not scare Chen to death, he tried her best to explain everything to them, but since Chen was giving birth to him, how could she not hear it. Even though Dong Fang Su was standing right in front of him, he still felt a sense of worry.

"Child, didn't Your Majesty already fulfill your request and let Jiang Yue go to West Chu to get the person? Why are you still doing such a dangerous thing? It was all for nothing, otherwise … What do you want matriarch to do? " Speaking to here, Chen's eyes were already red.

"This son was reckless, but if this son did not go at that time, Princess Xuan Ji would have died under the blade of the Chu Di.

"Just look at how he destroyed Nanzhao as soon as he ascended the throne. I can tell that he isn't an ordinary person." After seeing Dong Fang Su finish the watermelon in his hand, the Chen picked up another piece of the red and green watermelon and handed it over to him. "Have you seen the Your Majesty and the empress dowager yet?"

Dong Fang Su nodded his head, "This son went to Chengde Hall first, then went to Ningshou Palace to kowtow to the empress dowager before coming over."

The Chen's gaze wavered. "Did the Your Majesty and the empress dowager blame you for this?"

"That's good." Chen lowered her eyebrows for a moment, then suddenly said: "She's in your residence?"

"If that's the case, then the Mu siblings are already in your mansion. What plans do you have for the future? Could it be that they will always be living in your mansion?"

"With the destruction of the Nanzhao, Brother Mu and Xuan Ji's homeland is no longer here. There is nowhere else to go.

The Chen stared at him and said: "Su Er, matriarch will ask you one thing, you need to answer honestly."

After Dong Fang Su nodded, she slowly asked, "Have you ever forgotten about that Princess Xuan Ji?"

Dong Fang Su just happened to take a bite of the watermelon, and upon hearing this, he was immediately stunned. Light red watermelon juice dripped onto his sleeves and slowly spread out.

He took the kernels that Dong Mei passed to him and wiped his lips, then said uncomfortably: "Why did matriarch ask about this for no reason. This son has already put down that matter a long time ago."

"Since that's the case, why have the Your Majesty and the empress dowager repeatedly betrothed you over the past four years? And why, upon hearing that the was in trouble, did they rush over a thousand miles to rescue him? Not caring about the matriarch, not caring about the punishment, and not even caring about the safety of his life?"

Dong Fang Su secretly clenched his fists as he lowered his head and said: "Brother Mu is a friend of this son. Back then, when we were travelling, he had helped this son a lot, and now that he only has Princess Xuan Ji as his relative, how can this son ignore him? Besides, this matter is not as dangerous as matriarch thinks."

"What do you mean it's not that dangerous? You're using your own strength to make the entire West Chu your enemy!" Chen said worriedly. She had always been indifferent and calm, and rarely had she seen something like this.

The Chen tried her best to calm her breathing, and looked at the silent Dong Fang Su: There are some things that you are not willing to say, and matriarch will not pursue the matter any further, only one thing, you need to agree to it.

"Please give your instructions, matriarch."

"With regards to the Mu siblings, let's end it here. As for the remaining matters, do not be tainted by any of them at all."

Dong Fang Su looked at the Chen who didn't seem to be joking at all. "Brother Mu, our entire nation has been annihilated, it's precisely …"

Chen continued, "What is it, do I need your help or do I need my revenge?"

"It's not doing nothing. It's just that you can't help them at all." Chen let out a light sigh, "Even though matriarch has been living in the palace for a long time, she knows that the restoration of the Nanzhao must mean that they will be able to meet with the West Chu in battle."

"Su Er, don't forget, you are just a prince. That's right, the Your Majesty trusts you, so you can command the hundred thousand troops of the elite army, but if you want to use one of them, you have to obtain the approval of the Your Majesty, otherwise, do not touch them carelessly. Chen lowered her voice, "You want to renege on Your Majesty's trust?"

Dong Fang Su immediately said: "Your Majesty is kind to me, why would I betray him?" Before he could finish his last word, Chen had already caught up, "Since that is the case, you should understand that you cannot meddle in the matters of the Mu siblings."

"You can let them stay in your mansion, or you can bring good food and clothing, but you must promise matriarch not to bother about their affairs again." Chen knew that her request was a little selfish, but Dong Fang Su was her only child.

Dong Fang Su lowered his head silently, not saying a word. Just when Chen thought that he would agree, a calm but determined voice sounded in the warm pavilion, "This son promised Princess Xuan Ji that I would help her take revenge. This son cannot break his promise!"

"How can you accept this if it's like this?" Chen never thought that his usually filial son would actually reject him so firmly, without even a trace of hesitation. Her breathing became hurried, "For her, you won't even listen to matriarch's words?"

"Please forgive me, matriarch." Dong Fang Su knew that the Chen was doing this for his own good, but when he thought about the suffering and suffering that Mu Qian Xue had endured, he couldn't just abandon him.

Chen stared at his son who was kneeling on the ground in front of him, and said in a painful voice: "Su Er, that year, she rejected your proposal to marry, causing you to receive many supercilious looks, both publicly and secretly. How did your royal father reprimand you? Is it worth it for you to do anything you can to protect and help such a woman? "

"This son did this not only for her but also for Brother Mu. This son shall repay Brother Mu's kindness from the past. "

"You …" The Chen did not know how to continue, so Dong Mei was afraid that the two would get into an argument, and said softly: "Master, do not be angry, if there is anything you want to say, say it slowly."

The Chen did not care about her and stared at Dong Fang Su: "Then tell me, how are you going to help them rebuild the Nanzhao?"

Dong Fang Su straightened his back and said: "Chu Di's ambition is already clear. The current West Chu, to my Dazhou, is no less of a threat than him. Your Majesty is very clear on this point, the balance has already been broken.

"Once the West Chu is destroyed, the previous Nanzhao that it swallowed will be able to stand back up again, right?"

"Yes." Upon hearing Dong Fang Su's answer, the Chen shook his head repeatedly, "The Your Majesty has inherited the previous emperor's wish to unite the six nations and pacify the world as his lifelong wish. When the West Chu is annihilated and all the nations perish, what right do you have to think that the Your Majesty would allow the existence of the Nanzhao, and allow this kind of incomplete unification?"
