When Mo Xiao heard that Zhou Ruo was staying behind closed doors, his face looked a little better than before.

The Queen Mother looked at Mo Xiao's expression and asked softly: "So, what did she do to annoy you?"

Mo Xiao walked to the chair and sat down. He picked up a booklet and read it. He said calmly: "It's nothing."

The Queen Mother frowned: "Are you angry because Lu Jiuqing left the palace?"

Mo Xiao raised his eyelids and glanced at the Queen Mother: "What's wrong?"

Queen Mother: "..."

Mo Xiao took it so naturally that the Queen Mother was speechless for a moment.

He is the emperor, who can control who he wants to anger?

After a while, the Queen Mother said: "I know that Lu Jiuqing is the one who cares about you, but Concubine Shun is also your woman. Even if a bowl of water is equal, you can't be too favorable to one."

"Favoring one over the other?" Mo Xiao sneered and said coolly, "There is no comparison between them, let alone any favoring one over the other. It is already a great grace for me to keep her in the harem. This is not enough. Do you still want to get the same treatment as Lu Jiuqing from me? Mother, there are some things that you cannot take too far."

These words were a warning to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother's face turned green and white for a while. After a while, she took a deep breath and said to Mo Xiao, "Now that you have grown up and your wings have hardened, the Ai family can no longer control you."

Mo Xiao frowned, put the fold in his hand on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Mother, I have kept those concubines according to your wishes and favored Zhou Ruo. Isn't this enough? Some things, Too much is not enough, don’t you understand this?”

"I can take a step back, but I can't take a step back again and again. Queen Mother, you'd better take good care of yourself. I will take care of the affairs of the harem, so you don't have to worry."

The Queen Mother did not speak for a while, and finally she seemed to be angry, flicked her sleeves, turned around and left the Yinghua Palace.

Mo Xiao frowned, not in the mood to read the book anymore.

He didn't want to get into such trouble with the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother insisted on clinging to the women and children in the harem and forced him again and again.

Mo Xiao raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brow, then simply got up and walked elsewhere.

The little eunuch followed him and asked cautiously: "Where are you going, Your Majesty?"

Mo Xiao said calmly: "Just take a walk."

This casual walk led directly to the palace where Zhou Ruo was.

It was true as the Empress Dowager said, the door of Zhou Ruo Palace was closed, and there was no one in it.

Mo Xiao recalled the situation when he was angry that day. The other party didn't do anything wrong, it was just that the timing was not right.

The little eunuch next to him looked at Mo Xiao's face and asked softly: "Your Majesty, do you want to come in?"

Mo Xiao pondered for a moment and nodded.

The little eunuch immediately stretched out his hand to knock on the door, and the palace maid's voice came from inside: "Your Majesty, thank you behind closed doors. Please come back."

The young eunuch said solemnly: "Your Majesty is here, why don't you open the door quickly?"

After the words fell, there was a burst of messy footsteps inside, and then the door was opened from the inside. The palace maid and eunuch knelt on the ground: "See your majesty."

Mo Xiao walked through the door and asked casually: "Where is Concubine Shun?"

"Your Majesty is in the study. I will go and report it right now."

By the time Mo Xiao reached the door of the room, Zhou Ruo had already hurried out of the study. When he saw Mo Xiao, he knelt down quickly and said, "I see you, Your Majesty."

Mo Xiao raised his fingers and said, "Sit down, come in and talk."
