"Master Zhao and I, please come."

Zhao Cuo was brought to the East Palace by the troops from the inner palace. Fei Wu had already personally welcomed him out and took him to the Queen Mother's palace.

His face was calm, he didn't say a word, he just walked quietly.

In fact, he felt uneasy.

'Isn't it because the empress suddenly summoned me to the palace to question me about my sin?'

Zhao Cuo pursed his lips and looked down at his raised and lowered feet.

The Empress Dowager Dayu is now no different from the king. He found out things that the empress did not want to say, which would be dead for an ordinary official.

He didn't think a bad woman would kill him, but if she really pissed her off this time, there might be a gap in their relationship.

"If you don't tell me, I also want to help you..."

Young Master Zhao muttered to himself silently.

He actually had no complaints about the Queen Mother hiding the regicide from him.

But since he learned about this through the torture hall, he would want to help the bad woman, even though she might not need it.

"The Queen Mother is waiting for Mr. Zhao in the palace."

Fei Wu turned sideways and said "Please."

"Um."

Zhao Cuo nodded lightly.

He walked quietly into the palace of the Queen Mother, where he had stayed many times.

This time he was not rude, he stopped outside the screen in a proper manner, bowed and said hello.

"I made a mistake to see the Queen Mother."

"Get the hell out of here!"

The female devil's majestic voice, which was obviously sullen, came out.

Hearing her tone, Zhao Cuo felt inexplicably relieved for a moment, but he still walked through the screen with some anxiety.

He saw a red-haired girl wearing a black chest-length skirt standing beside the bed, staring at him with a pair of noble golden eyes. Her slightly cold face made people fascinated and awe-struck.

"Empress..."

Young Master Zhao felt that he would definitely be punished.

He calmly stood a few steps away with his head lowered and did not come forward.

The Empress Dowager Dayu was not easy to deal with. Since she came to power, countless officials in the capital have missed the kindhearted late emperor.

"What do you want to do, Zhao Cuo?"

Empress Dowager Zhao narrowed her beautiful eyes and approached the young man.

Before Zhao Cuo could speak, the female devil raised her hands and held his face, making eye contact.

Young Master Zhao looked directly into her precious golden eyes, but he was not afraid at all. The bad woman's current attitude should make him scold him.

"I just want to share my worries with you."

He said in a calm and calm tone.

"What I'm asking is what do you mean by going to Xizhimen alone?"

The Queen Mother asked with her eyebrows furrowed.

"Do you want to die?"

She had a straight face.

"You dare to go to the place where the two armies are facing each other alone. You just want to go, why don't you ask me for military power first?"

Zhao Cuo could only blink blankly after hearing her unexpected words.

How come this situation is completely opposite to what he imagined?

Calling him over is not to blame but to show concern?

"What do you mean by not speaking?"

The evil ways of bad women.

Zhao Cuo flattened his lower lips, suddenly raised his hands and hugged the empress' waist, and buried his face in her plump arms.

Queen Mother Dayu was obviously stunned for a moment, and when she realized what she was doing, she ruffled his long hair angrily. After she finished her anger, she began to gently caress the boy's back.

"I just said a few words to you and you acted coquettishly. I really spoiled you. What should I do in the future?"

She whispered loving words in Zhao Cuo's ear.

"Your Majesty is responsible."

Zhao Cuo clung to her arms, enjoying the unexpected warmth.

"I must take responsibility for making you act so boldly now, you bad guy."

Empress Dowager Zhao opened her moist thin lips and bit his earlobe hard.

"Sister Lan, you have to hold me."

Zhao made a mistake even further.

"snort……"

Teru Qinglan seemed displeased but still raised her arms and hugged him around his waist.

Zhao Cuo closed his eyes and experienced this moment with peace of mind.

After a long while, the Queen Mother spoke again.

"I won't tell you that matter..."

She paused and continued.

"Are you unhappy?"

"no."

Zhao Cuo found that he still underestimated the bad woman's love for him.

Not only did she not blame him for pursuing Prince Guang's affairs without authorization, but she was still concerned about his feelings.

Is it necessary for Queen Mother Dayu to explain everything clearly to him? With her arbitrary nature, she would not care about anyone else's thoughts, but now she cares about whether his thoughts are clear.

"No, what is that?"

Empress Dowager Zhao raised her hand and stroked the back of his head and asked.

"It's reasonable for your Majesty not to tell me, but I know this, how can I not serve you?"

Zhao Cuo said seriously.

He will not accept the favor of a bad woman for granted.

He would try his best to handle all the affairs of the Queen Mother.

"My love for you is not in vain."

She smiled brightly at first, then her face darkened, and she lowered her jade hands to gently pinch Zhao Cuo's waist.

"There is one more thing I haven't asked you yet. How did you know what I want to do? And since you want to pursue it, why not ask me directly?"

"I won't ask you anything you don't want to talk to me about."

Zhao Cuo still put his head on her heart and refused to lift it up.

"Do you think that if you ask, you will make me angry? I am so doting and pampering to you and you still think that I will hurt you?"

Empress Dowager Zhao asked with a cold snort.

"It's my fault..."

Zhao Cuo was unwilling to lie to her.

"When I was brought to the East Palace by the inner palace troops sent by the empress just now, I thought you were angry because I investigated Prince Guang's affairs and asked me to come here to question you."

"You still think I will ask you about your sins?"

The Queen Mother pulled his hair as if she was laughing angrily.

"If I want to take action on you, even if I kill you ten times for what you have done to me all day long, it will not be enough!"

"My queen, please don't be angry with me, okay?"

Zhao Cuo said softly.

"What do you think?"

Teru Qinglan hit the spot where he usually hits Honer.

"Even if you rebelled, I won't be willing to ask you about your crime. The most I can do is break your hands and feet and keep you here."
