Chapter 273: Transcendent Qing (10)
The Empress Dowager tightly clasped Qing’s hand.
Whether it was because her hand was always cold from her martial cultivation, the warmth now coursing through it felt unbearably hot—almost scalding.
“To see you like this, looking just as you did in your prime... it’s like a dream. Well? You’ve seen your mother. Have you nothing to say?”
“Uh, well...”
Qing’s eyes rolled around, scrambling for a response.
The Empress Dowager smiled with gentle warmth.
“Speak freely. What’s there to hesitate over between mother and daughter?”
“Then, could I maybe put some clothes on first...?”
“Good heavens. What is there to be ashamed of before your own mother? I see... Even after losing your memory, your body still knows shame. But before, you were never like this...”
“‘So-hal’...?”
“Yes, Sohal. That’s the name you’ve forgotten. Written like this in Chinese characters. You probably don’t recognize it anymore.”
The Empress Dowager traced the character onto Qing’s palm.
