Gu Beichen murmured, "Mother!"

He stared at her in a daze. He had seen her before!

All the portraits in his father's bedroom are of her. She is the queen mother he has never met!

Eunuch Jiang and Nanny Mu both said that the Queen Mother was the person who loved him the most in the world, no other.

He believed it, but he also didn't believe it.

If he didn't love him, why did he give birth to him?

But if it was true love, why did you leave after giving birth to him?

At first, he didn't know that his mother had left the world. He thought that he was abandoned by his mother after being born.

Later we learned that she had a difficult delivery and died soon after suffering heavy bleeding.

They all said that the Queen Mother chose to save his life over that of the elders and the younger ones.

She used up all her strength to give birth to him, but she no longer had the strength to protect him and accompany him to grow up well.

When he saw that others had mothers, were loved and protected, while he himself had to survive many near-death experiences, he hated her.

But he also loved her. Over the years, he had hoped to see her, even if it was just to appear in his dreams and let him hear her voice, but she never came.

Now that she was here, at his most vulnerable moment, his mother was finally willing to come and see him.

"Mother! You are the Queen Mother, you are the mother of the Emperor!"

The woman nodded and waved towards Gu Beichen with a smile, "Chen'er, come here quickly and let me take a good look at my good son."

Gu Beichen suddenly burst into tears, his eyes full of grievance, "Mother, why did you come so late?"

"Chen'er, haven't you been doing well all these years? Even if the Queen Mother is not around, you can still be brave, right?"

"But do you know that Chen'er hasn't had a good life these years?"

"My son has suffered..."

"Mother, you gave birth to me, but why did you abandon me?"

"Chen'er, the Queen Mother didn't..."

"Mother, mother, why are you silent?"

The woman suddenly dropped her smile and turned to leave. Gu Beichen was startled and walked towards her, "Mother, where are you going?"

But for some reason, the further he walked forward, the greater the distance between them became.

"Mother, don't you want the prince anymore? Are you going to abandon him again?"

The woman walked further and further away, and her figure became more and more blurred...

As Gu Beichen was chasing, he tripped and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Mother, please, don't go!"

"Boom!"

Gu Beichen opened his eyes and found that he had fallen asleep without knowing when. He woke up when his head hit the ground.

He felt his face was wet, and when he wiped it, it was all tears.

His eyes darkened. The dream was too real, so real that he thought it had really happened.

But when did he become so fragile?

You are not a child. If you fall and get hurt, will you go back to your mother for comfort?

Gu Beichen stood up from the ground. His legs and feet were numb from sitting on the ground for too long.

He shook his head and walked to the window to look at the sky outside.

The sky began to turn pale.

It's time to set off back to the capital.

He opened the door and called Canglang, "Has anyone been here last night?"

"My Lord, no."

Gu Beichen's eyes darkened and he looked towards the next boat. His position in her heart was indeed not as important as that of her family.

"Pass the order and set off back to Shangjing City immediately."

"I will inform Miss Shen now."

"Why did you inform her?"

"Didn't the master say that we should set off back to Shangjing City now? Miss Shen is on the next boat, so naturally we should notify her to go back together."

"No need."
