"Silly Ling'Er, what could possibly be wrong with me."
Seeing Little Ling'Er still worried about the Empress, the Empress Dowager wished she could immediately reveal the truth.
That foolish emperor is carrying your man's child!
And you're still concerned about her?!
So foolish indeed.
But, thinking about the Empress's threats, the Empress Dowager really didn't have the courage to say it out loud.
More importantly, the Empress Dowager was worried that Little Ling'Er would be too heartbroken and devastated after knowing the truth.
So, she could only heartily hug Little Ling'Er, trying to comfort her wounded heart with her embrace.
Fortunately, Little Ling'Er's Power of Dao Rhyme was unstable before, and every time the Empress Dowager would embrace her like this, so she didn't notice anything unusual.
"Empress Dowager, you smell so nice, duh."
