"Your grandfather? Fu Zhonghan?" A deep look flashed across the empress dowager's beautiful eyes. It was as if she was asking something, but also as if she was muttering, "If that's the case, then maybe next time!"
An Tingyu was not surprised when the Queen Mother called out Fu Zhonghan's name, because Fu Zhonghan was the former Grand Tutor of Longyan Kingdom, and it was impossible that the Queen Mother had not heard of this name!
"How has your health been these past few years, mother? Has your old illness healed?" She left three years ago, leaving only a one-year prescription. Although the purpose and dosage were written in detail, she did not treat the patient herself after all. When she came back three years later, she was busy with the affairs of Mr. An and An Donglin. Later, because little Yunxi got measles, she did not have a good reunion with the empress dowager, let alone see a doctor for her.
"It has been healed for a long time. You prescribed a good prescription. Doctor Zhong and Yang Qingwei are not quacks. It would be difficult for me to get better!" At the end, the empress dowager made a rare joke.
Hearing this, An Tingyu smiled and nodded, "That's true, they are my proud students. After coming back, I didn't go to the medical school to see them, so I don't know if they have changed now."
"If you don't have any, go check it out! And relax yourself at the same time. Don't worry about this and that all day long. You won't worry about yourself at all. Mr. An and your father will be fine."
"Mother, are you planning to intervene?" After hearing the Queen Mother's words, although An Tingyu felt grateful, she did not quite agree with the Queen Mother taking action.
The Queen Mother's words might save their lives, but even if they were safe, Old Man An and Anton Linping would not be cleared of suspicion. Instead, they would carry the blame for the rest of their lives and would never be able to hold their heads up. She did not want to see such an outcome.
"Girl, I know what you're thinking, but I have to tell you that sometimes people can only see hope when they're alive. If they die, then even if they have mountains of gold and silver, they can't take them with them. Originally, I didn't want to get involved in this matter, but I also don't want to see you sad, so I promise you that I won't take action unless it's absolutely necessary. So if you want them to leave the palace openly, then find evidence! But don't push yourself too hard, or you'll lose sight of the direction."
"Thank you, mother, for your teachings. I understand!" An Tingyu said respectfully. In fact, what the Queen Mother said was not unreasonable. Only when people are alive can there be hope. Maybe the result is not what she wants to see, but being alive is more important than anything else, isn't it?
"Alright, I know you don't want to stay in the palace anymore, so go back today! We can come back to the palace for a small gathering after things are settled."
At the Queen Mother's words, An Tingyu left Anhe Hall, but just as she walked out of Anhe Hall, she bumped into the person who came around the corner.
“Ah~”
An Tingyu, who was caught off guard, was almost knocked down, but fortunately, she was a flexible person and had some martial arts skills, so she just swayed for a moment and stabilized herself.
"Sister An, are you okay?"
Hearing this, An Tingyu looked up. It turned out that the person who bumped into him was none other than her adopted brother Long Xunyi.
An Tingyu stood up straight, reached out and patted his chest, "You've grown taller and stronger in the past three years."
Long Xunyi didn't say anything about An Tingyu's disrespectful address. He just teased her lazily, "You've become smaller, haven't you?"
"Nonsense," An Tingyu glared at him. "Three years ago, you were still a young boy. If you don't grow taller in three years, you will be stunted."
"Sister An, are you here to see our mother?" Long Xunyi smiled and did not continue her topic.
"Well, you're about to go in, right? Then go ahead!"
"No, I won't go today. Come with me to the Imperial Garden for a walk!" After saying that, Long Xunyi took the lead and walked towards the Imperial Garden. Seeing this, An Tingyu had no choice but to follow him.
"Sister An, how have you been living in Chen State over the past three years?" Long Xunyi started talking about family matters.
"How is it..." An Tingyu pondered for a while, "I should say it's very fulfilling! Every day is very busy, with happy moments and sad moments, but overall I'm very happy because my grandfather is a very kind person, Xi'er is by my side, and Fu Mo..."
When talking about Fu Mo, An Tingyu pursed her lips, and a complex emotion flashed across her beautiful eyes, "He is also very good to us mother and son!"
