Serious

"You keep calling me Empress Dowager. Do you really not acknowledge me as your grandmother?"

Xuanyuan Ye suddenly looked up and opened her mouth. She thought of something and shook her head repeatedly. She endured the tears that were about to fall from her eyes and bit her lower lip. "My mother has committed a grave sin, I wouldn't dare to."

It wasn't that she didn't want to, but she didn't dare to.

At the mention of Madam Yu, Empress Dowager Zhou's face darkened. She said sternly, "You're you, and she's her. I watched you grow up. As long as you have a clear conscience, why wouldn't you dare?"

Xuanyuan Ye was stunned for a moment. She could no longer hold it in and threw herself into Empress Dowager Zhou's arms. Large tears fell. "I thought that Imperial Grandmother didn't want me anymore. I'm afraid…"

"Silly child." Empress Dowager Zhou stroked Xuanyuan Ye's cheek with heartache, and her eyes turned red.
