At the first sight of Empress Du, Lin Dan was stunned. She finally understood who where the good looks of Du Rusong and Du Ruyan came from. Empress Du was tall and thin because of her cultivation. Her beautiful face was both heroic and charming. Her beautiful eyes were full of mist, making her melancholy and quiet.

In this dim and cramped cottage, she was the only light, and also the only color. However, unfortunately, there were a few crisscross scars on the forehead of Empress Du, which instantly destroyed her exceedingly beautiful appearance.

Lin Dan stared at the scars, which made Du Ruyan embarrassed. She quietly tugged at Lin Dan's sleeve and begged her not to poke her aunt's sore spot. What a perfect woman her aunt was before, but now she was like this. How could she bear it?

However, Empress Du didn't show any complaint. Instead, she poured a cup of hot tea for Lin Dan and looked at her with a smile for a long time. She had already received the news that her nephew was shot in the chest, but she pretended not to know. Even if she knew, what could she do? She couldn't leave the Taoist temple, nor could she give them any help. She could only stand aside and watch helplessly.

It was Miss Lin who saved her nephew in danger and took good care of him to make him recover as before. For the sake of saving her life, Empress Du not only didn't dislike her but also indulged her infinitely. She saved her nephew and taught her niece well. Lin Dan had done what she wanted to do but couldn't do. She couldn't be more grateful to her, so how could she be dissatisfied?

"This is the pea cake I made myself. Miss Lin, have a taste," said Empress Du softly.

"Thank you, aunt Du." Lin Dan came to herself. She grabbed a piece of pea cake and looked at the scar on Empress Du's forehead.

Empress Du was amused by her words. She touched her forehead and explained, "When we hit the pillar, there were some patterns carved on it. Later, when I was treated carelessly, it turned out to be like this."

"Oh, I see!" Lin Dan suddenly realized. "No wonder these scars are so unique."

Empress Du couldn't help laughing, while Du Ruyan covered her face and groaned. What's wrong with Lin Dan today? If she doesn't know how to flatter Empress Du, then don't flatter her. Why make her embarrassed? Didn't she know that these scars were the pain that her aunt would never want to mention?

Empress Du rubbed her head and said slowly, "Yan, don't feel sorry for me. These scars are nothing to me now. Whether he comes or not, I feel as calm as water. In my eyes, you and Rusong are the most important."

Empress Duhad been in charge of the royal family for more than ten years and helped the young emperor to hold the throne. The ups and downs she had experienced were unimaginable to ordinary people. She might be defeated, but she would never fall. If others couldn't, she could mention it; If others couldn't let it go, she could.

Du Ruyan immediately raised her head and called her aunt with red eyes.

However, at this moment, Lin Dan said with a malicious smile, "Aunt Du is elegant. You can't wear too bright and luxurious clothes. As for those Taoist robes, they are always in the same style and color. It's better not to make one."

Du Ruyan couldn't stand it anymore and said in an aggrieved tone, "Dan, did you take the wrong medicine today and say all these annoying words!"

Before she could say anything, Empress Du waved her hand and smiled, "It doesn't matter. Miss Lin is telling the truth. I didn't want to make any new clothes." she made a new dress and dressed up. Instead of appearing nobler in front of that person, she showed timidity and lowered her head, as if to please him. The emperor had already died in her heart, and it was enough for her to only wear this black robe to bury their past.
