Capítulo 410: Chapter 379 It's okay if she doesn't want to be the Empress, holding back and not making a move, _2

```

Xiao Jinyan saw the Empress eating hotpot for the first time. He discovered that his mother, like Xiao Jiu, was extremely orderly and uniform when it came to food.

Thinking of the words Uncle Ye had said, he stared at his mother for a long while. He really wanted to ask if she had truly worried about him when he was sent to Nanzhao Country as a hostage in those days.

And he wanted to ask if it really wasn't him who had pushed his brother all those years ago.

But he didn't dare to ask, fearing that asking would only lead to disappointment.

Shen Chuwei picked some non-spicy beef for Xiao Jinyan and put it in the bowl in front of him, "Your Highness, eat the meat. This isn't spicy."

Xiao Jinyan came back to his senses, looked down at the meat in the bowl, glanced at Xiao Jiu, and seeing her looking at him with anticipation, he gripped his chopsticks tightly and picked up a piece of beef to eat.
