The little hedgehog changed direction and continued crawling.

If you get knocked down, just climb in a different direction.

Then it simply curled up into a ball and stopped moving.

Its entire body was covered in bristles.

"Hahaha--"

Murong Yue finally smiled.

"Ah Hao, do you think those two have a mother too?"

Ah Hao peeled peanuts for His Majesty and replied with a smile, "Of course."

"However, hedgehogs and rabbits both give birth to many offspring at once, so if they lose one, they may not even remember it."

So that's how it is...

Murong Yue was slightly taken aback.

What about humans? Are they the same?

My mother has another child. Has she forgotten about me too, which is why she hasn't looked for me...?

Murong Yue's emotions plummeted to their lowest point.

She wanted to lock herself away, not see anyone, or simply leave this place of heartbreak.

Ah-hao placed a plate of peeled peanuts in front of her.

She smiled and said, "The Emperor Emeritus and the Empress Dowager only have one child, His Majesty, so His Majesty is definitely being coveted."

Although His Majesty has not received any letters from the Emperor Emeritus for some time.

Both inside and outside the palace, with various arrangements and protections, one could feel their love for Murong Yue at any time and in any place.

ah?

What?

What?

"Okay, say it again?"

Ah Hao covered her mouth and chuckled, "This servant said that the Emperor Emeritus and Empress Dowager only have you as their child, so they must be very worried about you."

Murong Yue's eyes widened, and she pointed to her nose with an incredulous expression.

"Just me, all of me?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"real?"

"This servant would never dare to deceive Your Majesty on this matter," Ahao said, becoming serious as she sensed Murong Yue's shock.

Could it be that His Majesty has been unhappy these past few days because he has heard some rumors?

But the Emperor Emeritus only had one child, His Majesty.

Who on earth is so reckless as to gossip about His Majesty and displease him?

Ah-hao wore a smile, but a storm was brewing in his eyes.

Murong Yue tilted her head, trying to sort things out in her mind.
