Chapter 383: This servant said too much

Mo Chuan sat high above in his dragon throne .  His long, slender fingers held a cup of wine, but he didn’t bring it to his lips .

Looking out, the ministers and their families were all filled with happiness .  Everyone was having fun, drinking the wine, and enjoying the flowers, being filled with happiness .

Only he was feeling depressed deep down .

He wanted to see a person, but he couldn’t see her and he didn’t dare see her .  He was trying hard to restrain his owns from looking over in that direction .

His heart was depressed as he drank a cup of wine .  After waiting a while, he did not see Xiao Si pour him more wine .

“Xiao Si!”  He looked over and saw Xiao Si standing behind him, standing there in a daze .  It was unknown what he was thinking of, but he had not even noticed the empty cup .

“Emperor, this servant deserves to die!”  Xiao Si suddenly came back to his senses .  Seeing Mo Chuan staring at him, his body began to tremble as he knelt down on the ground .

“Why are you panicking, pour me more wine!”

“Yes, yes, yes . ”  Xiao Si raised the wine jug, but his hands suddenly trembled and the wine fell down onto the back of Mo Chuan’s hand .

His body was covered in a cold sweat as he knelt down once again, “This servant should die, this servant should die . ”

Mo Chuan did not say anything and just stared down at him .  After a while, he finally spoke in an indifferent voice .

“Say it, what kind of unforgivable thing did you do?”

“Emperor… . . ”  Xiao Si looked down, not daring to raise his head .

“Speak!”

Xiao Si had a face covered in tears, “Emperor, this servant should die .  This servant went to the Empress Dowager’s Palace just now… . . ”

He did not even finish before raising his palm and giving a strong slap to his own face, “This servant said too much, so I will beat this servant that has a big mouth!”

Mo Chuan immediately understood his meaning and his chest filled with anger .  He forcefully gripped his cup and it shattered into pieces with a clear sound .

“This servant should die!”  Xiao Si continued to kowtow .

The ministers all noticed this and began to look over .

Mo Chuan said in a deep angry roar, “Stand up!  Why haven’t you sent the King Ding Yuan Princess out yet!”

Xiao Si crawled up from the ground and knew that he had caused a lot of trouble this time .  His face turned pale in that moment .

“Yes, yes, yes, this servant will go now . ”

As he prepared to move in Chen Ning’s direction, he suddenly heard a clear voice sounding through the hall .

“The Empress Dowager is here!”

When the people in the hall heard this, they immediately put down their chopsticks and they all stood up .

They were all confused because wasn’t the Empress Dowager too sick to get up?  Why was she suddenly participating in this flower banquet?

Then everyone suddenly thought of something .  There were some officials that brought their wives and daughters along who suddenly couldn’t help revealing a knowing smile .

The Empress Dowager is here to personally select a wife for the emperor .

“It’s too late!  It’s all because you spoke too much!”

Mo Chuan angrily glared at Xiao Si .  It was already impossible to send Chen Ning away because the Empress Dowager had already entered the banquet hall .

There were eight eunuchs carrying a sedan that had all four sides covered in veils .  The Empress Dowager was sick and couldn’t be exposed to wind, but she still came here while sick, so it was clear what her meaning was .

Mo Chuan took a breath and then walked down from the dragon throne into the hall, going forward to greet her .

“Welcome, mother . ”

“We greet the Empress Dowager and pray for the Empress Dowager’s well being . ”

The ministers and their families in the hall all knelt down behind Mo Chuan .  Chu Shao Yang also pulled Chen Ning down into a kneeling position .

Two palace girls on the side opened the veil and the Empress Dowager slowly walked down .  Mo Chuan quickly came forward to support her .
