Ziyou's heart was in turmoil, but she tried her best to remain calm on the surface.

She lowered her head slightly, trying to avoid the Queen's sight.

The queen turned her eyes to Nan Wanxing, "I have some crab oranges that I have been keeping warm in the kitchen. Thank you for your help, Xing'er."

Nan Wanxing knew that her mother had deliberately sent her away, but she did not ask any more questions. "Okay."

"Zibao, is there something on the ground that attracts you?"

"Mother, why... call me like this again..."

"Is it not okay?" The Queen deliberately joked, "If you don't like me, don't call me that anymore."

Ziyou pursed her lips and said softly, "No..."

Seeing her embarrassed look, the queen couldn't bear to tease her any more. "Zi'er, have you dealt with everything?"

"Ah."

The Queen did not continue to ask, but changed the subject. She placed the embroidery in front of Ziyou and asked, "Does it look good?"

The sky was full of stars, and under the stars were the silhouettes of five people. Ziyou gently stroked them, with tenderness in her eyes, "Is this our...home?"

"Yes, this is our family of five. Can I send you off?"

Ziyou raised his eyes, "Send me off?"

She stared at the embroidery for a long time before she said uncertainly, "There are five of us, and there are my father and the prince in front of us. Isn't it a bad idea to leave it to me?"

The queen took a deep breath and held her hand. "Zi'er, it has nothing to do with blood relationship. You are the one that I love the most. Don't you believe in my sincerity until now?"

"No, I have never doubted your feelings towards me." Ziyou explained immediately, "I was wrong, don't be sad."

After saying this, she raised the Queen's hand to her face, lowered her head slightly and rubbed the back of her hand, then said softly, "Mother, please don't bother with me."

The queen was distressed and happy at the same time, "I'm not sad."

Fearing that the other party would blame herself, she jokingly said, "I just wanted to see what Zi'er would be like when she became spoiled, but I didn't expect it to backfire."

"Zi'er, don't be so obedient. Can you please be a little more demanding?" The queen spoke in a gentle voice as if she was coaxing a child.

"it is good."

The queen became interested. "Then I want to give you this embroidery. Do you want it?"

Zi You said decisively, "Yes! Of course I want it if it's a gift from my mother!"

"What if they see you and try to snatch it?"

Ziyou thought about it and said, "No!"

Under the Queen's gaze, Zi You let herself go for once, "I won't give anything my mother gave me to anyone who wants it. If they try to snatch it away... I'll run away!"

A trace of pain flashed across the queen's eyes. Is this what Zi'er's indulgence looks like?

How could this be……

How can it be... so heartbreaking!

"Can Zi'er be a little more excessive?"

With the Queen's encouragement, Ziyou came up with what she thought was a very fierce way to deal with it, "If they try to rob me, I will fight back! They can't beat me."

Ziyou showed an expectant expression on her face and looked at the queen with a look of begging for praise.

Her Zi'er is so well-behaved that it makes my heart ache!

The queen forced a smile, "Zi'er is awesome! That's the way to go!"

Ziyou, who was praised, had stars in her eyes and reached out to take the embroidery, but the Queen dodged her.

"Mother."

The queen smiled and said, "It's not finished yet. I originally wanted to make it into a purse."

After saying that, she looked at Ziyou's waist again, "But you already have a phoenix pendant on your waist, and having another purse would be a bit abrupt."

Zi You didn't want the gift to fly away, so she quickly said, "You can put it in your sleeve." She looked at her waist, "The other side is still empty! It won't look awkward! Symmetry will make it look better!"

Ziyou, who did not hide her emotions, really looked like a little girl in the human world. The queen looked at her with even more kindness, "It will be done soon. I will send it to you when the time comes."

Ziyou nodded and asked tentatively: "Mother, do you have a gift for Little Star?"

The Queen raised her eyes to meet hers, "You seem to care about Xing'er a lot."

"I am her sister after all!"

"Is it really just because of my sister?"

Ziyou's eyes flickered a little, "Mother, why do you ask this?"

"I don't know what happened between you and Xing'er during this period, but when you came back this time, the way you looked at her was obviously different from before. Didn't you notice it yourself?"

Ziyou blinked, "What's different?"

"Do you remember the way I looked at His Majesty?"

Ziyou nodded.

"Then do you remember the look I gave you and Xing'er?"

“I will never forget it.”

"There is a kind of look that only appears in the one you love, and that is the look I give to Your Majesty."

The queen stared at Ziyou, "Zi'er, since you entered the room, you have been looking at Xing'er with this kind of eyes."

Ziyou looked a little bewildered, "Is that so..."

"Have I also developed such thoughts about her?"

The queen patted her gently and comforted her. "Eyes don't lie. If you want, you can tell me what happened that opened your eyes. If you don't want to tell me, don't tell me. I will keep it a secret for you."

Zi You looked at the queen's loving eyes and spoke slowly, "I didn't want to hide it from mother, but can you promise me that after reading this, you won't be sad."

The queen had a premonition.

"I promise you."

Ziyou's mind moved, and a ray of light flew towards the queen's eyebrows, showing everything that happened after Nan Wanxing's disappearance in her mind.

After a long time, the queen finally opened her eyes. She was not emotional, but just put her hand on Ziyou's neck. If you hadn't felt the other person's slight tremor, you would have thought that the queen was very calm.

"It doesn't hurt anymore. It doesn't hurt anymore."

"I don't feel any pain."

"My Zi'er, you no longer have to be controlled by others. That's great. You have finally gotten your reward after all the hardship you've endured."

Ziyou smiled and said, "So mother, don't feel sorry for me. Heaven can't do anything to me now."

A tear fell quietly, and Zi You wiped it away nervously, "Mother, isn't this a good thing? Why are you crying?"

"Your heart...is gone."

Zi You was stunned for a moment, and then comforted him: "Since I have a heartbeat, I will definitely grow flesh and blood again because of you. Yes! I will definitely have it again!"

"It will happen," the Queen repeated.

"Are you curious about why I could recognize that the one before was not the real you?"

The queen looked at her and said, "No one can replace your eyes, not even the other self you created with your own hands."

Ziyou said jokingly: "It seems that I can't do bad things in the future, otherwise it will be seen at a glance."

The queen touched her head and said, "I support you in whatever you want to do."

"But now, how are you going to deal with your relationship with Xing'er?"

Zi You asked the Queen uncertainly, "Mother, am I really in love?"
