Empress Dowager Zhou did not take it and just looked at her as she said, “When has the widow needed to personally do something like this?”

This meant that she wanted Su Jin to apply the medicine for Mo Chuan.

Su Jin secretly smiled in her mind. The Empress Dowager still had this temper after all these years, wanting to keep face no matter what. She clearly felt pain for her son and cared about him, but she had to keep that indifferent look.

“Emperor, please lift your outer robe and allow this servant help you apply the medicine?”

Mo Chuan shook his head and said, “No need.”

His eyes fell onto Xiao Si who was tied to the bench and he was surrounded by a cold chill that made those guards holding sticks unable to not shiver.

“Who tied him up? Who covered his mouth? Who beat this one’s person like this?”

His cold eyes swept over the guards.

The guards’ face turned white in fear and they all threw themselves onto the ground. Their bodies were trembling as they just kowtowed, not daring to speak.

Because as long as they did speak, it was equivalent to offending the Empress Dowager. They couldn’t offend the emperor, but they couldn’t offend the Empress Dowager even more. This kind of being caught in between two sides, it truly gave them no way out.

“Hei, hei, you are all quite daring. This one hasn’t been in the palace for two days and you actually dare move against this one’s people. Who did it? You have the guts to move against this one’s people, but you don’t have the guts to admit it?”

Mo Chuan gave a cold laugh and walked beside Xiao Si. His right hand passed over him and the robe binding Xiao Si began to break like it had been cut by a knife.

“Many thanks to the emperor for saving my life. Emperor, if you came back a step late, this servant wouldn’t have been able to see you again.”

Xiao Si bent over and pulled the cloth from his mouth. He ignored the pain in his butt and he clung to Mo Chuan’s right foot, unable to talk through his weeping.

“You are this one’s people, moving against you is equivalent to moving against this one. You dog guards, actually daring to move against this one’s people, do you know your sins?”

When Mo Chuan’s stern gaze swept over the guards, these people all had pale faces as they kept kowtowing.

“Emperor, mercy! Emperor, mercy!”

How could Empress Dowager Zhou not see what was happening, the emperor was beating the dog in front of the master.

Her dragon headed cane hit the floor and she coldly said, “Emperor, they are guards in this widow’s palace and it was this widow that had them tie and beat Xiao Si. If you want to find someone for their crimes, come find this widow!”

When the guards heard this, they looked at Empress Dowager Zhou in gratitude. They thought that the Empress Dowager was a living Buddha. With the Empress Dowager’s words, they would be able to keep their lives.

“Oh, it was mother who gave them the orders? I wonder, what crimes Xiao Si has created that mother would want to beat him to death?”

Mo Chuan looked over the thick and heavy sticks.

“As the emperor’s closest confidant and the emperor was missing, he actually couldn’t say where the emperor was. For this kind of lazy servant, what use is there keeping him! This widow gave the order to beat him to death so the emperor could choose a more intelligent servant.”

“Xiao Si is this one’s servant, whether he is lazy or not depends on this one. Mother, for this kind of small matter, mother doesn’t need to care about in the future.” Mo Chuan directly looked at Empress Dowager Zhou with a very straight back. Although his tone was respectful, his attitude was very firm.

Anyone could hear the meaning in his words.
