You are my last hope

The next day, Xianwu's birth mother came to the palace with her husband. Chen Xin led their way to the guest chamber from where Eunuch Yuhan asked Lady Lixue to follow him to the pavilion.

"Please wait for the five minutes. The Crown Prince will be here," Eunuch Yuhan humbly said and gestured to the tea server to serve tea for Lady Lixue.

She anticipated to see Xianwu as with each passing second, her desperation to see him would grow. Lady Lixue looked at the tea served to her and found out it was chrysanthemum tea.

'Does Xianwu still remember my favorite tea?' Lady Lixue thought, but she kept the teacup untouched.

Xianwu entered the pavilion as Eunuch Yuhan announced about it. All the servants withdrew from there and now, only Xianwu and his mother were present in the pavilion.
