Chapter 29 The Harem Is the Battlefield
I stepped forward with a little panic, bit my lips, but found that no sound came out, I opened my mouth again, and finally called out, "Mother..." The voice was trembling.

She finally moved on the bed, she opened her eyes, and when she saw it was me, there was light in her eyes immediately, she raised her hand with some difficulty, and beckoned to me, "Yanran, you are here."

I knelt down beside the bed with a plop and grabbed her hand, "Mom, what's wrong with you?" How could this happen, how could this happen.

She smiled and shook her head at me, "Silly child, why are you crying?"

Only then did I realize that I had burst into tears.

She wiped my tears for me, "Yanran, mother is dying, I just want to see you one last time, let mother see how you are doing for the last time."

Tears were falling in my eyes desperately, maybe the tears were not falling by me alone, this body, she herself was also in pain.

"I'm... fine." I said comforting words, but my voice was very muffled.

"Mother actually disapproves of you marrying into the royal family, but you have been stubborn since you were a child. Mother has never been able to persuade you about what you believe in...".Her series of words seemed a bit painful, she paused and continued, "Emperors have been ruthless since ancient times."

"Mother, don't worry, there are still men like the Supreme Emperor." I said words that I didn't know whether to comfort her or myself.

She smiled wryly, "There are very few men like the Supreme Emperor and your father."

I didn't say a word, just looked at her with nostalgia, her face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, her eyes were sunken, and the thin chin made me feel distressed.
She...has been tormented by illness for some days?
"Mother, you are sick, why didn't you tell your daughter. My daughter can ask the imperial doctor to treat you."

She grabbed my hand and held it tightly, "Your filial piety, my mother's heart has received it, but my mother's life is over. To be honest, I really miss your father."

"mother……"

"I heard that the emperor accepted a concubine, and the harem is a battlefield for fighting. You...you should think twice about everything."
