She felt like she had just heard a huge joke. "Go back and tell her that I have nothing to do with her! Don't even think about Yu Chen anymore!"
Aunt Zhao grabbed Hua Xia in the corridor and asked, "Miss, does the Empress have a plum blossom mark on her leg?"
"It's not the legs..." Hua Xia blurted out, "It's the back of the shoulder...it turned red when it was warmed up."
She regretted the words as soon as they came out of her mouth, but Zhao Ma's face was already full of joy, and she ran away with her skirt lifted up.
Hua Xia touched her head and said, "Did I accidentally reveal any secrets?"
The more Sheng Xiyan thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. "No more soaking! I have to hurry back to look after the children. I don't know what this old woman is up to!"

The Queen Mother suddenly covered her face with her hands, tears streaming down her face from between her fingers.
Twenty years of longing, twenty years of missing out...it turns out that her Luan'er has always been in front of her.
"My daughter..." she murmured, crying and laughing, "I finally found her..."
"Your Majesty, do you want to do a blood test to prove your relationship?" Madam Zhao asked in a low voice.
The Queen Mother shook her head. "The Queen has a strong personality and will not agree. I don't want everyone in the palace to know about this. There's no mistake about it. Concubine Jia is not my biological child at all. The Queen is."
