Chapter 786: Empress Dowager Yan’s Decision (2)

Now that things had ended this way, Yan Family will fall by tomorrow and there was nothing he could do. However, he was gratified that now his daughter had grown up and no longer the same person she used to be.        
   
For a father… that was enough.    

At the very least, he could see her grow up and change.    

As an official, he was not a qualified person. He couldn't even control his siblings and let them abuse the power that was not supposed to be theirs. As a father, he had failed to educate his daughter, allowing her to be used by others.    

Now she had grown up.    

But he was no longer in the position to be by her side anymore.    

Empress Dowager Yan turned around. "See the guest off."    

The maidservants tactfully dragged Second Madam Yan away and left Empress Dowager Yan alone in this room. They knew very well that Empress Dowager Yan needed time to be alone.    

Those who had served long enough would know the scandal of Yan Family.    

But they would never say it.    

All they could see from behind was the proud back of Empress Dowager Yan who stood firm on her position. Her chin slightly raised as she looked towards the beautiful building in front of her.    

This place was one of the most beautiful place in the world.    

But it was also a cage, a prison that shackled her.    

Tears dropped from the corner of Empress Dowager Yan's eyes.    

She wanted to hug her father, telling him that she was sorry. She wanted to apologize for all of those years for making trouble in her family residence and caused her true family members to be worried and disappointed.    

She wanted to apologize for listening to the words of those imbeciles and harmed her own family members.    

What she did had crossed the line.    

And no matter how many apologies she makes, it would never be enough.    

"Your Highness, His Majesty is here."    

Empress Dowager Yan took a deep breath and nodded. She used her handkerchief to wipe the tear on her cheek and composed herself. Even though she knew that Emperor Yang Zhou knew everything about Yan Family, she didn't want to show this weakness of hers to others.    

They didn't need to know.    

It was enough for her to bury all of her feelings and pain deep within her heart. She didn't want to drag them into this trouble of hers.    

"Let him in."    

Emperor Yang Zhou heard about Yan Family members who came to the palace. Ever since Empress Dowager Yan banned those people aside from her father and brother from coming, no one had come.    

But this time, her father and her aunt had come.    

So Empress Dowager Yan chose to let them in.        

He looked at the dignified Empress Dowager in front of him and nodded faintly. As the Emperor, he naturally knew about everything that had happened in the palace and also Empress Dowager Yan's background.    

The problems in Yan Family, her mistakes, the rumors, and many others.    

"Subject Imperial Mother greets His Majesty," Empress Dowager Yan curtsied and gave her greetings.
