Luo Lan came to the bedside, looked at the disheveled An An, and took her into his arms distressedly.

"An'an, what's wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood? I'm sorry. Mom should have come back to see you a long time ago. I'm sorry."

"mother……"

An An rested his head on her chest as if relieved, trembling and shaking his head vigorously.

"Mother, it's An An who feels sorry for mother."

Luo Lan stroked her head gently and felt her body trembling in her arms. She realized that she must have encountered something that she couldn't solve, which was why she was like this.

She hurriedly pushed her away from her arms and looked at her gently,

"An'an, what happened? Are you hiding something from your mother?"

An An shook her head vigorously, but her eyes kept evading, as if she didn't dare to look at Luo Lan.

"An'an, your mother has watched you grow up. She knows your every move best. Something must be wrong with you. Tell your mother quickly, what happened? Don't worry, as long as your mother is here, nothing will happen to you. It will be solved for you."

An An still bit her lip, even though her face turned pale, she didn't dare to speak.

Luo Lan didn't know what to do. She looked at her distressedly and raised her hand to pull out the broken hair from her forehead.

"An'an, you've lost weight. I heard you haven't eaten well in the past two days. How can this be okay? Just wait, Mom will have someone cook you some porridge."

"Mom, I'm not hungry."

An An took her arm,

"Mom, I'm not hungry, please stay with me for a while!"

Seeing An An acting like a frightened kitten, Luo Lan nodded distressedly, then hugged her into his arms,

"Okay, didn't Mom tell you a long time ago that whenever you miss your mother, you should go to her?"

"But that is the palace, and I always feel that it is so strange there. When I see my mother put on those gorgeous clothes, I also feel that my mother is so strange. You are not like my previous mother. Only in Prince Yu's Mansion do I feel that you are me. mother."

An An's words touched the softest part of Luo Lan's heart.

Why doesn't she think this way, but what can be done?

She sighed softly, and then said slowly:

"Mom knows that Mom has neglected you, but your father is the emperor of Daning Kingdom, and mom is the queen of Daning Kingdom. Mom can only live in the palace. Otherwise, mom promises you that she will go out of the palace to accompany you for two days every month from now on. , is this good?"

An An nodded excitedly at first, then bit her lip and shook her head.

"Mom, I'm afraid I won't have this chance."

"An'an, what are you talking about?"

An An's words made Luo Lan full of doubts. She pushed her up from her arms again and looked at her seriously.

"An'an, tell mother, are you hiding something from mother?"

An An bit her lip tightly, shook her head vigorously, and said nothing.

She didn't want to say it, and Luo Lan didn't ask any more questions. Maybe she was just in a bad mood, and she was just a little pretentious in her rebellious stage!

After a while, Yi Cheng came back happily carrying candied date paste. As soon as he walked in, he shouted loudly,

"An'an, stepmother, I'm back."

Hearing his voice, An An sat up straight from Luo Lan's arms, and Luo Lan hurriedly stood up to greet him.

"Yicheng, look at you. You're sweating profusely. You ran out so early in the morning. Are you tired?"

Yicheng wiped the sweat from his face and shook his head with a smile.

"Foster mother, I'm not tired. Sister An An has had a bad appetite recently. She said she wanted to eat candied date cake from Chengdong, so I thought about buying it for her."

After saying that, he looked at An An and handed the candied date cake into her hand.

"You go ahead and eat it. I'll buy it for you after you're done."

An An looked at him gratefully, then grinned.

"Thank you Yi Cheng."

Yicheng scratched his head and smiled sheepishly,

"Why are you thanking me? I am your brother and I should take care of you. Just tell me what you want to eat in the future and I will buy it for you."

Seeing these two unrelated siblings loving each other so much, Luo Lan suddenly felt sad.

They are only teenagers, but they have to support each other to support the family. As a mother, I am really terrible.

Thinking of this, she felt even more sorry for An An. She asked An An to eat something first, and then walked to the back garden alone.

She felt a tightness in her chest. She didn't understand what happened to An An. She was an enthusiastic and cheerful little girl before, why did she suddenly become so cautious and fearful?

What on earth did she go through?

She thought about it, but she really couldn't figure it out.

After a while, Yicheng appeared beside her,

"Father, I have something to tell you."

She looked back at Yi Cheng and asked in surprise:

"what's up?"

"I think Sister An An seems to have something on her mind."

"I guess she has something on her mind, but she won't tell me what it is. Can you tell your adoptive mother?"

Yi Cheng thought for a while, pursed his lips and shook his head.

"I don't know exactly what happened, but she was always mysterious the past few days. By the way, I also found that there were men's clothes in her room. I often couldn't see her a few days ago. These days She hasn’t gone out all day, and I don’t know what’s going on with her.”

Are there men's clothes in her room?

Was she being bullied?

Thinking of this, she took a breath, put her hands on Yicheng's shoulders, and asked solemnly,

"Is there someone bullying her in this palace?"

Yicheng immediately shook his head,

"That's not true. Uncle Agang has been very kind to us both. None of these servants dare to bully us."

"Then why are there men's clothes in her room?"

"I don't know. At first I thought a man was bullying her, but no one can leave their clothes and hats behind. Later I asked her, but she didn't admit it. She said I must have been wrong, so I didn't Don’t you dare ask her again.”

"Then what did she do when she left early and came back late the past few days?"

Yicheng pursed his lips and shook his head.

"I don't know. I didn't dare to follow her or ask her. Anyway, she was quite happy those days. After those few days, she started to feel depressed. I don't know what happened to her."

Yicheng's words made Luo Lan more and more worried. What happened to An An?

Thinking of this, she looked at Yicheng seriously,

"In this way, after lunch, you ask An An to go out with you for a walk, and then I will go to her room to have a look."

"Foster mother, is this...is this appropriate?"

"She doesn't want to talk to us anymore, so that's all we can do. Besides, I am her mother, and I only think about her best. Only by knowing why she is like this can we help her!"

Yicheng pondered for a while, then nodded,

"Okay, foster mother, I'll listen to you."

Luo Lan patted his shoulder and looked at him tenderly,

"Yi has grown a lot taller..."

"Father, I've been having a lot of trouble in my mind recently. Do you think it's possible that I might be able to recall my lost memories?"

Hearing this, Luo Lan looked at him in surprise,

"Really? In what kind of situations do you usually feel trance-like?"
