At the age of the empress dowager, the only daughter who could not let go was left.

After Yan Jingshen left, she hurriedly asked Ade to accompany him to Luoyun Palace.

Yan Danxue had long expected that her mother would come over, and she didn't even move her footsteps and was still sitting in the study.

Ade pushed open the door and the queen mother walked in slowly.

"Xue'er, are you okay?"

The palace maid beside Yan Danxue bowed and left the study room. She closed the door.

Yan Danxue stood up and helped the Empress Dowager sit down.

"I'm over thirty, and my mother still treats me as a child."

The Queen Mother took her hand and said warmly: "Son is the mother's heart. No matter how old you are, in the mind of the mother, she is still a child who needs careful care."

"I know." Yan Danxue's voice was a little hoarse.

She has heard the same words countless times, and she doesn’t know what’s wrong today, but she sounds particularly touched.

The Queen Mother's eyes were also a little wet, and she choked and said, "If my Xueer was the same every day, my mother would be at ease."

"The mother is so trusting Yan Jingshen?" Yan Danxue leaned her head on the Queen Mother's shoulder: "Don't forget whose grandson he is and whose son he is.

The emperor once said that he would regard you as his biological mother in his life; later Cheng Yu also said that he would respect you well in the future. But in the end they all broke their promises."

The Empress Dowager chuckled and said, "The Ai family is already buried in the eyebrows. Do you still expect anyone's promise to live?

Just because Brother Shen can let you say a few more words, the Ai family is willing to help him."

Yan Danxue was a little surprised: "My mother means..."

The Queen Mother closed the broken hair on her temples for her: "The Ai family has been the queen for decades, how could it be that the Queen Mother has no reliance on it at all?

You are the only legitimate bloodline of the late emperor. If you are a boy, your mother will definitely fight for you.

Unfortunately, you don’t have a brother who is a relative, so we mother and daughter can only rely on others for the rest of our lives and live a life like living under someone else’s roof.

Your Majesty still has some feelings for us, so you shouldn't have done too much.

But once he has an accident, his successor will only be more cold to us.

Since this is the case, the mother simply made arrangements in advance and chose someone who is close to us and has good character to support us."

Yan Danxue was moved: "Mother, you are thinking too far..."

Although she was reluctant to admit it, her mother was already in her seventies and there was no need to think about it so much.

She could enjoy her old age, but she was still trying her best to plan.

All this is for himself, a person who has long known why he is alive.

"Xue'er, you are still young and have a long life.

My mother looked at your elder brother and probably wanted to leave her place for Yu'er.

Although Yu'er has several sons, Shen Ge'er is the legitimate son and looks very similar to Concubine Wei Shu, so it is deeply loved by your emperor brother.

Now he asked Brother Shen to go to Dongdaying to experience the military service, with the purpose of letting him learn to take charge of military power.

The royal family's military power often means that he has gained the trust of the emperor.

If we secretly push another move, sooner or later, the throne belongs to Brother Shen.

Once he ascended the throne and became emperor, you will have at least thirty or forty years of stable life.

The queen mother does not ask you to be harmonious with your husband and wife, and she only hopes that you can always maintain the stable life you are now and not be eroded by the wind and rain from the outside world.”

Yan Danxue smiled bitterly.

This is the mother. Even if she is in her twilight years, she still has to arrange everything for her children.

But she really doesn't need it.

Since Huaijin left, she has lived every day for her mother.

If the mother is gone, what is the meaning of her life? What is the courage to continue to live?

"Mother, Cheng Yu is still less than forty years old. Even if the emperor's brother likes Shen'er, he must pass the throne to him first.

Just now, Shen'er told me about his experiences over the years. Obviously, Cheng Yu doesn't like him, and he can't forgive Cheng Yu.

Their father and son are destined to be incompatible in their lives, so how could Cheng Yu pass the throne to Shen'er?"

The Queen Mother sneered: "Who said that the family property must be passed on to her son? As long as the grandson is capable enough, it is normal for him to inherit the family property by surpassing his son."

Yan Danxue pursed her lips, not knowing what else she could say.

No matter who the emperor's brother passed the throne to, it actually has nothing to do with her.

But Yan Jianshen seems to be stronger than others being emperors.

The Queen Mother smiled and patted her hands: "My mother knows that you don't like to talk about these things, so let's talk about something else."

"Okay." Yan Danxue nodded.

"Just just now, Shen'er told you about going to the Taishi Mansion to study?"

"I said that he became a student of the Fourth Master of the Xia family and praised his junior sister."

"Then..." The Queen Mother observed her daughter's expression and then said boldly: "Xue'er, don't bother with the queen.

Although I have prepared your lifelong mentality, from the bottom of my heart, I still hope that you can have a home.

The fourth master of the Xia family is not good at choosing a talent, and he is about your age and appearance.

And he only has one daughter under his knees, and it is the year of his hair. If you can be with him, you will definitely..."

From the moment the Queen Mother changed the topic, Yan Danxue knew what she wanted to say to her.

She was no longer in her teens and twenties, and she turned her back when she heard such words.

However, even though she had exhausted all her patience, she still couldn't finish listening to all the words of the queen.

"Mother," she interrupted the Queen Mother's words: "You have said the same words to me countless times.

In my life, no one except Huaijin, especially his twin brother, I am even more unlikely to marry.

Moreover, how could Mr. Xia be willing to rekindle his ten-minute love for his deceased wife?

There are not many beautiful things in the world, so let them continue to be beautiful.”

The Queen Mother sighed: "Okay, my mother promised you that this is the last time I mentioned this.

But to be honest with your mother, do you have no doubt about Huaijin's death?"

Yan Danxue's breathing was stagnant.

Of course she doubted.

Although Huaijin is a scholar, she has always been in good health. She has few minor problems such as wind and cold on weekdays.

And he is only twenty years old, how could he die without reason?

But the incident that year was already covered by the emperor's brother, and Grand Master Xia did not continue to investigate. What could she do as a princess without real power?

But the empress dowager continued, "Don't say it's you, even the Ai family is not willing to accept it."

But more than ten years have passed since this incident, and it is definitely not easy to find out, but it is impossible for us mother and daughter to do so.

So we need to cooperate with the Xia family and we must find out the truth about Huai Jin's death."

"Is it really possible?" Yan Danxue grabbed her hand tightly.

The Empress Dowager said: "If you keep yourself in this Luoyun Palace forever, then don't mention this matter."

Yan Danxue's breathing stopped again.

The purpose of the mother's queen is to let her walk out of Luoyun Palace and reintegrate into the crowd.
