Chapter 418 Mother and Son
"This matter is extraordinary, so we must report it to the Emperor." While the two were talking for a while, Chu Jiaojiao had already fallen asleep.

Zhen Baozhu ordered Chu Jiaojiao to be hugged down, and said to Zhen Zhenzhu very solemnly: "Although the emperor and I are having an argument, the emperor is not a fool who doesn't know right from wrong, besides, the position of the Xie family is here. Even if the emperor is angry and wants to bring disaster, it shouldn't be at this time."

Zhen Zhenzhu then said: "Your brother-in-law also said the same, mainly because he wanted to take advantage of today to communicate with you, so as not to catch the Xie family by surprise."

On the second day, Jiang Ci entered the palace and reported the matter to the new emperor. The new emperor signaled Jiang Ci not to say anything, and privately sent someone to Nanjiang to tell the matter to the Nanjiang general.

After so many years of experience, Xie Yongfu has become much calmer, not to mention that there is Chu Xiu beside him, and Lu Zhan trusts their ability and loyalty.

Just in the afternoon, the Holy Mother Empress Dowager hurried over with a food box.

This empress dowager has always been an invisible person in the harem, sometimes even some concubines would step on empress dowager Liu in order to please the empress dowager Qi, in the eyes of outsiders, it can be described as extremely useless.

But after all, it was Lu Zhan's biological mother, and the servant serving in the study room respectfully arranged her in the outer hall, and then came in to communicate with Lu Zhan.

Lu Zhan heard the words, "When is it now?"

The waiter replied: "At the beginning of Weishi, you can have lunch."

Lu Zhan is very busy these days, with countless official affairs waiting for him to deal with. There are stacks of memorials sent in every day, and sometimes he is so busy that he forgets to eat.

But Lu Zhan felt very fulfilled.

If he had dealt with the matter of going to the harem earlier, he would be able to welcome Zhen Baozhu into the palace as soon as possible.

At that time, there will be no other concubines in the palace.

With all of this in mind, it's worth being busy.

"Let the Queen come in."

The servant was very surprised when he heard the words, he was surprised that the new emperor didn't even call the Empress Dowager Liu "Mother Empress".

Empress Dowager Liu was flattered to hear that Lu Zhan called her in.

Empress Dowager Liu seemed a little nervous, and walked in tremblingly.

This is the first time Lu Zhan has seen his biological mother since he was adopted by Princess Jiangling 15 years ago.

Lu Zhan raised his eyes, 15 years have passed, and his biological mother is no longer as beautiful as before.

Empress Dowager Liu was much older, with a few more wrinkles on her face, and she was even a little hunched when she walked.

Approaching, Empress Dowager Liu gave Lu Zhan a flattering smile, and put the food box in front of Lu Zhan, "I heard that you haven't had lunch yet, this is the fish soup I cooked with my own hands, and it tastes the same as before. Take two sips."

In the past, Lu Zhan loved to drink fish soup very much, or it could be said that he liked to drink fish soup cooked by his birth mother.

Lu Zhan glanced lightly, "There is an imperial cook in the palace, such a thing is not suitable for the mother to do, the mother should sit down, and there is no need to be seen by the son."

The relationship between mother and child is polite and distant.

Empress Dowager Liu couldn't help crying again, but she held back her life.

"You should treat me like this. I abandoned you back then." Empress Dowager Liu wiped away tears, "I was afraid of suffering and not being able to support you, so I gave you to Empress Dowager Qi."

"The Empress Dowager Qi taught you how to read and understand, and brought you to this position all the way. I am very pleased to see it."

"Everything has a price. I abandoned you and lived a life of wearing gold and silver in the palace. I can even become the queen mother. You should ignore me and hate me."

"You should be filial to Sister Qi as you should. Without her, you would not be where you are today."

Lu Zhan rubbed the center of his brows, as if he was a little impatient, "Did the queen mother come here just to talk to me?"

"No, no." Empress Dowager Liu hurriedly said: "If there is no need, I won't come here to disturb you. I just heard that Bao Zhu was sent back by you?"
