Capítulo 779: Chapter 777

After Du Yijin and the Princess (wife of Prince An) entered the Imperial Palace, the Empress Dowager left them outside in the cold for two hours, without calling them inside.

By now, darkness had completely fallen. The chilling wind was howling, making the cold seem even more biting. Despite being bundled up in thick cloaks, they were shivering with the cold.

Feeling a bit lightheaded and unsteady, Du Yijin looked at the Princess, whose nose had turned a bright shade of red from the cold. She was filled with guilt, "Mother, I'm sorry, for making you endure this suffering with me."

The Princess gave her a comforting smile, "Silly girl, I'm your mother, isn't it natural for a family to share in each other's joys and sorrows! The act was committed by your stepmother, it has nothing to do with you. Your mother knows you are a good child."

Upon hearing these words, Du Yijin felt even more moved, "I will definitely honor and take care of you in the future."
