Ling Yu was watching the song and dance performance when Bai Cui, the palace maid next to the Queen Mother, came over and whispered in her ear.

"Princess Yi, please come with me. The Queen Mother wants to see you alone!"

Ling Yu was startled for a moment, then raised her eyes and saw that the Queen Mother on the stage was no longer in her position.

She nodded slightly, led Ling Yue and followed Bai Cui.

"Princess Yi, the Queen Mother is not an ungrateful person..."

Bai Cui said softly: "When you were about to be beheaded just now, she didn't want to save you... If you think about it carefully, you will understand her painstaking efforts!"

Ling Yu knew that Bai Cui had good intentions and reminded her not to talk nonsense when she met the Queen Mother, so she nodded understandingly.

Coming out of the Imperial Garden, you arrived at a pavilion.

The Queen Mother is tired after working hard for a long time, so she takes a break here.

"Ling Yu has met the Queen Mother!"

Ling Yu signaled Ling Yue to stay where he was and walked to the bottom of the steps before bowing.

Empress Dowager Liang had taken off her phoenix crown, revealing her white hair on her temples. She looked less majestic than before on the stage, but her luxurious phoenix robe still symbolized power and status.

Ling Yu still had knots in her heart, thinking that even if Empress Dowager Liang wanted to test herself, she wouldn't have to force the old Marquis to kneel down before he would speak for her.

Ling Yu saluted and stood a little distantly.

Empress Dowager Liang glanced at her and asked in a deep voice: "Do you have any grudge against the Ai family in your heart?"

"Ling Yu doesn't dare!" Ling Yu said calmly.

Empress Dowager Liang smiled and said: "I don't dare! It's not that I don't! It shows that you have resentment in your heart!"

"Do you think that the Ai family will not save you even if you die? You saved the Ai family, but the Ai family did not mention it in public. Even when you wanted to behead you, the Ai family did not stop you!"

Ling Yu didn't speak, which was considered acquiescence.

This is what she really thinks, and she can't say otherwise against her will.

"From the first time I met you, the Aijia felt that you were different from the rumors outside! The Aijia personally wrote the invitation to you because they wanted to praise you!"

Empress Dowager Liang said calmly: "If you are estranged from the Ai family because of these two things, then the Ai family can only say...the Ai family has misjudged you!"

Ling Yu pursed her lips. The disappointment in Empress Dowager Liang's tone reminded her of the old Marquis' hatred of iron!

Although she still felt a little uncomfortable, she could see how powerful the imperial power was from the fact that she was almost beheaded just now.

Although she disagreed with Empress Dowager Liang's way of doing things, she had to admit that she was doing it for her.

"The Queen Mother didn't mention the fact that I saved you, it was for Ling Yu's own good! Ling Yu knows it!"

Ling Yu said helplessly: "The Queen Mother wants Ling Yu to see clearly who is the enemy and who is the friend! Who can lend a helping hand to Ling Yu when she is in danger!"

"Ling Yu will no longer be willful and angry with his grandfather! When he looks back, Ling Yu will go to apologize to his grandfather!"

Empress Dowager Liang saw that the boy was teachable, so she smiled and her tone softened.

"There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the imperial capital. You saved the Ai family, and the method you used to treat the Ai family is enough to disgrace the imperial doctors at the imperial hospital!"

"These pedantic imperial doctors can still save themselves if they reflect on their poor medical skills. I am afraid that what they are studying is not medical skills, but how to plot people!"

Ling Yu understood the Queen Mother's intention, and felt a little warm in her heart, calming down the atmosphere.

"Ling Yu understands that the Queen Mother does not want Ling Yu to make too many enemies!"

Her foundation is still shallow, and she really shouldn’t show off her talents too much at this time!

The Queen Mother's open love will only bring her more enemies!

Empress Dowager Liang nodded and sighed: "The Ai family and your grandfather are both old. They can protect you once, but they cannot protect you for a lifetime!"

"Today's beheading should let you see clearly and think clearly about the path you want to take in the future!"

"It's a good thing to be kind-hearted, but it's a taboo to be willful and proud!"

Empress Dowager Liang looked at Ling Yue, who was standing in the distance, and said angrily: "For example, regarding Yue Yue, if you hadn't allowed the rumors to continue to spread, you would have produced evidence to prove your innocence, and Yue Yue wouldn't have to worry about you today!"

"When a woman gets married, her husband is her first priority! If you can't even win over your own husband, then if what happens today happens again, who will speak for you?"
