60 Chapter 59: Vampire, What? 6 (2/2)

Being a soldier meant bathing is not a problem when you're busy. I ate as I walk towards the empress' courtyard in our residence.

I saw her alone.

”Good morning your majesty” I said

”I haven't seen you for so long, come here, and let this aunt see you” the queen said

I sat beside her and let Han Wan lay the basket with the medicines.

”Aunt, I have here a batch of medicines, first we need to eliminate the poison in your body. Then we need to nourish it back to health. You will take the medicine in one week, then you are free to take nourishing pills. I will Han Yuomei handle everything since I have already instructed her.”

”Thank you, this means a lot to me. I don't know how I can repay you. If you need anything else, feel free to tell me.”

I nodded, then the empress hugged.

It's somewhat strange though.

This feeling.

Why is it that I feel a closer bond to her than my own mother?
