"Go, to the Southern Border?"
Sun Senior Palace Lady doubted her ears, "Your Highness, are you joking?"
Whoosh—
The Royal Palanquin abruptly stopped, the curtain lifted, revealing a face covered in frost, coldly saying: "Do I look like I’m joking?"
Sun Senior Palace Lady’s scalp tightened, hurriedly kneeling on the ground, "Your servant has no such intention!"
The Empress took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, gestured, and said: "Alright, stand up."
Although she was in a bad mood right now, it wasn’t to the point of taking it out on others.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your mercy."
Sun Senior Palace Lady trembled as she stood up, hesitated slightly, and cautiously asked, "Your Highness, what exactly happened?"
Everything was fine just now, but after receiving that secret report, you suddenly lost your composure...
Could it be that something happened to Chen Mo?
The Empress was silent for a moment, then said, "Chen Mo has arrived in Tiannan with his people, destroyed the Gu God Sect’s stronghold, rescued over ten thousand people, and exposed a court official lurking in Fengmu County..."
Sun Senior Palace Lady asked in confusion, "Isn’t that a good thing? Why is Your Highness not happy?"
The Empress said calmly, "Because Yu Youhan is with him."
"What?"
"Yu Youhan disguised as a Sky Scale Guard officer and went to the Southern Border with Chen Mo."
"..."
Sun Senior Palace Lady’s expression stiffened.
No wonder the Empress’s emotions were so volatile, running to the Frozen Sky Palace in the middle of the night, clamoring to go south...
Turns out, her man was stolen?
"I thought he was suffering a lot on this trip, camping in the open and entering dangerous lands, and have been worrying about him every day."
"But he seems very well, secretly meeting with Consort Yu behind my back?"
The Empress bit her lip, feeling a surge of jealousy.
No wonder she has suspicions. She had previously suggested that Chen Mo stay in the Capital City, but he insisted on going to the Southern Border... Now it seems he might have planned with Consort Yu long ago, using the excuse of eliminating the Gu God Sect for a getaway trip!
If it were just a "date," that would be one thing, but what if he gets taken away and doesn’t come back?
That wicked woman is definitely capable of doing such a thing!
This is why she’s so anxious.
Sun Senior Palace Lady came to her senses, swallowed dryly, and urgently said, "But even if that’s the case, you can’t take risks so lightly! The Southern Border is far and the Emperor is distant, with you being the Mother of the Country, what if something happens to you?"
"You must consider the bigger picture!"
Saying so, she knelt and kowtowed, "I beseech Your Highness to reconsider!"
"I am considering the bigger picture; Chen Mo has a special identity, if Yu Youhan really intends to do something to him, I’m afraid..."
The Empress hesitated, then shook her head and said, "But you have a point; that place is ultimately not as peaceful as the Capital City, and one shouldn’t take risks easily."
"Your Highness is wise..."
Sun Senior Palace Lady had just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the Empress continue, "Then wouldn’t it suffice for me to find a bodyguard?"
(O_O)?
