The Empress Dowager put down the brush in her hand, raised her eyebrows and looked at the moonlight outside, "The moonlight is quite bright... ahem... If Yi'er is here, the Ai family will definitely let her take a walk with the Ai family."

The old grandma sighed after hearing this, and said quietly: "The Queen Mother, the late Emperor has been dead for more than a year, but you are hurting yourself by being so sad."

The Queen Mother did not say anything, but glanced at Ling Mulao's position indifferently, and then slowly put away the scriptures and brushes, "The Ai family is a little tired, so please step aside."

"Yes." After receiving the order, the old woman bowed and closed the door.

Ling Mulao was wondering whether to show up now or remain hidden for the time being. Although the Empress Dowager was the one who had experienced the incident, it was quite scary for her to appear so suddenly.

If the Empress Dowager thought she had died long ago, then she would have thought that this appearance was a ghost. If she scared Nangong Yi's mother to death, wouldn't she be beaten?

"Since you are here, let the Queen Mother take a look at you." After a moment of silence, the Queen Mother's voice sounded softly.

Ling Mulao was wondering whether the Empress Dowager was talking to her or talking to herself. Should she show up or not?

Just as she was thinking about it, she saw the Queen Mother suddenly turning her head and staring at her with stern eyes, "It must be Rao'er girl who has come back to visit the Ai family."

Ling Mulao pursed her lips, and then broke the invisibility spell by saying, "My son, please see your mother."

"If it's really you, the Ai family's eyelids have been twitching tonight, thinking that an old friend must be coming back." The Empress Dowager was not surprised at all, just like her calm expression when Ling Mulao paid his respects.

"Mother, why do you think it's me again?" Ling Mulao was a little confused. If the Empress Dowager misses her old friend, then it should be her husband or son, but it shouldn't be her.

"Will the dead come back?" With a faint smile on her lips, the Empress Dowager pulled Ling Mulao to her side and asked with a smile.

".."

Ling Mulao was shocked by these words. Everyone thought she was dead, but the Empress Dowager was so sure. Could it be that she knew that Nangong Yi had exchanged his life for hers.

"Why don't you bring my grandson back to have a look?" Holding Ling Mulao's cold hand, the Empress Dowager asked in a familiar tone.

Ling Mulao: ".."

"When Yi'er saved you, the Queen Mother should have hated you, but since he loves you so much, the Queen Mother thought that as you asked, what if Yi'er's father had abolished the harem for the Queen.

Yi'er is like Aijia, but even though Aijia was given this body, he was not able to raise him personally. This is a regret in life. When he saw his body lying cold in the snow, Aijia really regretted it.

I indulged you.

But still remembering the smile on Yi'er's lips when she died, and later hearing from the imperial doctor that you were pregnant, the Ai family finally understood that he was happy." The Empress Dowager said in a soft voice, with the corners of her eyes slightly moist.

.

As the candlelight swayed, Ling Mulao couldn't help but shed tears in the corners of his eyes when he looked at such a loving mother. He leaned on her shoulder and murmured in a low voice: "Mother, I miss him so much!"

"Mother and Queen know it!" The Queen Mother nodded and patted her head gently with her hand.

Ling Mulao raised his head, with little gleams of light in his clear eyes, "Queen Mother, I have been to Yi's mausoleum. There was only a dragon robe in the coffin. He is not dead, right? Where is he? I want to see him."
