"What was Xie Yun's father's name again...?"
As Gu Lan spoke, he remembered that Xie Yun's father was named Xie Xu, who was once a famous and handsome nobleman in the Capital, similar in age to the Empress Dowager.
The eunuch by the Empress Dowager's side was called Little Xu.
Her gaze swept across the Empress Dowager and Little Xu as she recalled the palace gossip—that the Empress Dowager had a poor memory and would rename her most favored eunuch as Little Xu, and she had lost count of how many Little Xus there had been before.
Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager had such a peculiar habit. Was it that since she couldn't have Xie Xu, she started collecting similar 'figurines'?
Empress Dowager Su allowed Gu Lan's expression to remain strange; now that she had lost the backing of her family and left the palace, her position as Empress Dowager was just symbolic, merely a mascot for Dayan. She no longer feared others' opinions and didn't need to conceal her true nature.
