Hearing these words, Yan Ning panicked and quickly knelt down to plead, "Father Emperor! I misspoke, I know my mistake, please allow me to see my birth mother! I beg you!"
As she spoke, her head bowed heavily onto the floor. After a few crisp sounds, Emperor Yan Zhao perhaps couldn't bear it in the end and agreed.
Finally, she managed to fulfill her wish and see her birth mother. But after that, her father Emperor decreed she was not allowed to enter the palace again until the new emperor's enthronement, only then could she see her birth mother again.
Yet her birth mother was already confined within Jingci Temple in the palace by an imperial order.
All of these incidents made Yan Ning find it strange. She said, "Xuan, I have a feeling that the events of that year were not as simple as they seemed, there must have been reasons why my birth mother didn't let you enter the court. You must be very careful."
