Xiao Si and Zhuifeng were shocked when they heard Mochuan's words.

“Emperor, you…… really want to leave the capital? If the Empress Dowager finds out, she definitely will not agree.”

Xiao Si's chin was about to drop. His first reaction was if Empress Dowager Zhou found out, he would be beaten up again. Empress Dowager Zhou wouldn't blame the Emperor for leaving the capital, but she would certainly put the charge of instigating the Emperor to leave the capital on him.

“Then don't tell the Empress Dowager yet. Xiao Si, you stay in the capital. Tell Muhou [Imperial mother, how Emperors refer to the Empress Dowager] after we leave the capital.”

Mochuan nodded and agreed with Xiao Si.

Xiao Si immediately knelt on the ground. His face was bitter as he said, “Emperor, take Xiao Si with you when you leave the capital. Have Zhuifeng tell the Empress Dowager that you're leaving the capital instead.”

Zhuifeng was anxious once he heard. He knelt down. “Emperor, this subordinate is your secret guard. This subordinate's duty is to protect your safety. Of course this subordinate will be where you are, Emperor.”

Zhuifeng glared hard at Xiao Si. He thought that this little fox was too wicked. Wasn't he just pus.h.i.+ng him into the fire?! And he really treated Xiao Si as a brother too. Huh!

“Mochuan, you are the monarch of a country. You have many things waiting for you to take care of. A country also cannot go one day without having a monarch. You cannot leave the capital. Let me go find the G.o.dly doctor instead.”

Chen Ning shook her head at Mochuan with a face of disagreement.

“Do you think that I can let you take the risk alone? Do you know how far the G.o.dly doctor is? Do you know what dangers there are? You are a weak woman who doesn't know martial arts. How am I supposed to rest a.s.sured?” Mochuan looked deeply at her.
