Because he understood this point, Empress Hu's mood instantly became better.

When Empress Hu became happy, the palace maids serving inside the Phoenix Palace smiled. Recently, the palace had been tense, they were really afraid that their master would be angered and destroy his body.

So now that he had seen Empress Hu's happiness, it was naturally a lot easier within his Phoenix Palace.

In this way, Dong Shu, who had made Empress Hu's mood improve with a single sentence, was naturally welcomed more and more by the Phoenix Palace.

The reason the Empress Hu allowed Dong Shu to enter the palace today, was to console her in the first place, and also to tell her how to deal with the following matters.

However, Empress Hu will still tell Dong Shu what needs to be said.

If someone from the Third Prince Palace comes to apologize to you, you will take this lying down. If no one is going, you don't have to worry, they were in the wrong, there will be someone to take care of them. ” The Empress Hu saw that Dong Shu had already said those words once, and after seeing Dong Shu nod her head obediently, she then continued to speak: ”I'm afraid that the capital will become a little chaotic after a period of time. If you have nothing to do, don't go out, and get your Xu Shiqiu's attention as well.”

Xu Shiqiu had already mentioned the things Empress Hu had said to Dong Shu once, so she only nodded obediently. After hearing all that Xu Shiqiu had said later on, she naturally agreed.

”Yes, Shu'er understands.” Dong Shu looked at the Empress Hu and replied. After thinking for a while, she mustered up her courage to ask, ”Then is the Empress' palace safe?”

Empress Hu didn't think that Dong Shu would actually ask about her own safety. Looking at Dong Shu who was looking down at him with a face full of concern, Empress Hu felt that she really didn't love her for nothing.

After all, not everyone would dare to ask such a question.

”You don't have to worry about this. I've lived for so many years, what have I not seen? I know what happened this time, so you don't have to worry. ” If the Empress Hu dared to say such words, she must have someone backing her up, but she could not casually tell these to others, not even to Dong Shu.

Because sometimes, it's better to know as much as possible.

Dong Shu also understood this logic. After all, not only Xu Shiqiu, even the Old Madame Xu had warned her repeatedly.

She was the one who dared to ask that question just now. Since Empress Hu had already said such words, she would definitely not be worried anymore.

Empress Hu kept looking at Dong Shu, so she noticed any change in her expression.

Seeing Dong Shu obediently responding to what she said, Empress Hu's mood improved, ”Seeing you like this, I have the fun of raising my daughter.” After Dong Shu walked over to her side, she then raised her hand and caressed the top of Dong Shu's hair as she continued, ”Shu'er, you don't have to worry. Even if there's any danger, I will help you stop it. I have not protected Mu Er and her family for the rest of my life. Now that you have reached such a state, you must be protected thoroughly. ”

Dong Shu never thought that the Empress Hu would actually say such a thing to her. Subconsciously, she felt that the Empress Hu's words had some meaning.

However, her beast-like intuition was warning her not to ask.

Due to her believing in her intuition, although she felt uncomfortable at this moment, she did not inquire about it in the end.

Furthermore, after hearing Empress Hu's words, Dong Shu suddenly thought of Yan Ye who had brought Xu Yanzhu out of the capital. If the Empress knew that her grandson was still alive, she would probably feel a little better.

But she couldn't say any of this.

Empress Hu could clearly see all of the changes in Dong Shu's expression, so naturally, she could also clearly see the struggle in her heart.

She didn't know what Dong Shu was thinking and only thought that she was hesitating about whether to continue asking.

Seeing that Dong Shu did not even ask about it, Empress Hu finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Originally, she didn't intend to tell these words to Dong Shu at this time. It was just that she didn't hold back just now and directly said them out loud.

Fortunately, she knew that Shu'er was intelligent. There were some things that she shouldn't have asked, so she wouldn't ask.

Although Dong Shu didn't know what the Empress Hu was thinking, she could feel the change in her mood.

Seeing that Empress Hu was in a good mood, she told him a few interesting stories about Yuanxi.

Because the Empress Hu liked Dong Shu, she doted on him very much. Every time she gave Dong Shu a gift, she always gave him a small portion of it which she could use.

Waiting for Dong Shu to finish speaking of Yuanxi's interesting story, Empress Hu suddenly looked at Dong Shu and said: ”You guys only have Yuanxi as your subordinate, so when do you plan on taking another child?” Although Empress Hu didn't feel that anything was wrong with her daughter, this was how things were, without a son, it was impossible.

”I think it's a good year. If you plan on having another one, you can have another one by the end of the year.”

Empress Hu looked at Dong Shu, and said those words seriously, causing Dong Shu to not know what to say.

Since Dong Shu did not know how to reply to Empress Hu, she could only lower her head and pretend to be shy and not speak.

Seeing that Dong Shu did not speak, the Empress Hu was not anxious either. She patted the back of Dong Shu's hand and then continued: ”There's no need to be shy about this.
