Chapter 986 - 988 Empress Arrives (8)
Old Madame said, "Isn’t that the case? It has been eight years since that incident. In the blink of an eye, the Empress has not returned home for eight years."
Empress Mo said, "Yes, I remember eight years ago when I came back, Zhao Yang was being naughty and accidentally fell into the Lotus Pond. It was Zi Qi who fearlessly jumped down to rescue her. At that time, it was deep autumn, and Zi Qi even fell ill because of that!"
Zi Qi said, "The princess had an incident in Duke Li Guo’s Mansion, and as a descendant of Duke Li Guo’s Mansion, it is naturally my duty to ensure the princess’s safety!"
"Look, you’ve grown up and now speak these grandiose and official words. You didn’t talk like this when you were little!"
Empress Mo smiled, her usually cold demeanor softened slightly.
"Back then, you said Zhao Yang was as beautiful as a fairy, and it would have been a pity if she had drowned. Later, when I asked you what reward you wanted, you said that your reward was to see Zhao Yang every day. Zi Qi, do you still remember this?"
Zi Qi paused and replied, "In response to the Empress Dowager’s words, Zi Qi remembers."
Empress Mo said, "Good, since you remember, Aunt will fulfill this heart’s desire for you. How does that sound?"
