"Really?" The Empress Dowager suddenly became spirited, "My Zheng Er, it turns out she has amnesia... and hasn't forgotten about me, her mother!"
The Empress Dowager continued to shed tears, and although heartbroken, she finally found some solace.
Su Yingxue gave Chu Yihan a glance and secretly gave him a thumbs up behind his back.
Chu Yihan rubbed her head and stayed with her until the Empress Dowager fell asleep.
Sleeping in the side hall, nestled in Chu Yihan's arms, Su Yingxue sighed softly, "My mother's dying wish was to tell Qin Zheng's family the truth, but now... I find it increasingly hard to speak."
Chu Yihan's chin rested on top of her head, "It's because you can't bear to hurt the Empress Dowager, an elderly woman who has waited half a lifetime and got struck by the news of losing her daughter, so you hesitate to speak."
"Yes, if Your Highness hadn't said that my mother had amnesia, I really wouldn't know how to face grandmother."
