Seeing the unconcealed loneliness in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, Shen Wan thought for a moment and felt that there must be some conflict between mother and son in the past.

She vaguely remembered that the relationship between mother and son in her previous life seemed not to be close.

Things in the imperial court are always very complicated, and she doesn't know the specific reason. She only knows that later, because of herself, the two of them got into a particularly tense situation.

But when things come to a close, when life is at stake, the only people you can rely on are flesh and blood relatives.

Men have a deep personality, typically saying less and doing more, but such people tend to be more affectionate.

No matter what conflicts they had, there was no overnight feud between mother and son. In her previous life, Luo Lan blocked an assassin's arrow for Qi Yan and died trying to save him.

The filial piety that he had not had time to express during his lifetime turned into deep guilt, weighing on his heart.

He stayed in front of Luo Lan's memorial tablet for seven days and seven nights, until he fainted from exhaustion and was helped back to the room by his servants.

After a year of vegetarian diet and mourning, Qi Yan lost a lot of weight, but even though he had a light diet, he did not treat her poorly because of it.

She didn't have much interaction with Luo Lan in her previous life, and she only had dislike for Qi Yan.

But after all, it was a human life. She was briefly sad and followed him on a vegetarian diet for a month, but she didn't care about him at all.

He even felt that he had done many evil things and his hands were stained with blood, which was why so many people wanted his life. He was the one to blame for that ending.

Not only was there no comfort, she also made him unhappy every day. He must have felt so uncomfortable at that time, but even so, in the end he gave up resistance without hesitation in order to save her.

This man's previous life was really heartbreaking. She didn't deserve the kindness he treated her in her previous life.

Therefore, in this life, she has to compensate him even more. She wants to make everything he loves and the people who love him well, and she wants him to live happily.

Thinking of this, Shen Wan quickly spoke up to help explain.

"Ayan, you have misunderstood the Queen Mother. She was just scaring me and didn't really want to hit me. She deliberately set the ruler off, but she didn't expect that you would suddenly rush forward."

Standing up from the man's arms, Shen Wan took the man's right hand and looked at the injury on his palm.

Traces of blood oozed from the white silk handkerchief. Knowing that the wound must have split open, Shen Wan frowned in distress, "Why did you rush up so fast? It's too late for the queen to stop."

Qi Yan: "..."

Is it his fault?

Forget it, what the wife said is right, you can marry a wife who will pamper you.

Qi Yan pursed his lips and hesitated to speak, letting her unwrap the silk handkerchief in his hand.

It is said that one thing can conquer another, but Luo Lan didn't believe it in the past. He always felt that no one could conquer his son.

Seeing the helpless look on the man's face, she suddenly felt a bit warm, and her tears turned into a smile, and the corners of her lips could not help but curl up in a happy arc.

After opening the silk handkerchief and looking at the open wound on the man's palm, Shen Wan frowned in distress, turned to Luo Lan and called out "Mother".

Understanding what the girl meant, Luo Lan immediately ordered: "Come here, get a basin of water and some good medicine."

Cleaning the wound, applying medicine, and re-bandaging, Shen Wan was very careful in every move. It took a lot of time to perform this operation.

The sun had set and the sky was getting darker. Shen Wan looked at Luo Lan with a smile as she touched her hungry stomach.

"Mother, I'm hungry. Can I have dinner with my mother at Shoukang Palace?"

She looked at the man on the side and saw that he had no reaction, so she obviously acquiesced. Luo Lan happily agreed and hurriedly asked the servants to prepare.

When she was a child, this child also liked to stick to her, but at that time she was too rigid. Due to the rules in the palace, she refused to eat with him every time.

Later, under her "careful" training, he finally became more and more independent, even to the point of being indifferent and refusing to get close to others.

Mother and son had not sat together for a good home-cooked meal in many years. Although she knew that he just couldn't bear to offend the girl, Luo Lan was still happy.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit dull. Luo Lan picked up a piece of turtle meat and placed it in the man's bowl. "You have worked hard all day. Eat more to replenish your body."

After looking at the contents of the bowl, Qi Yan did not move or speak, but continued to peel the lobster in his hand. After peeling it, he put it in the girl's bowl.
