When Zhao Ming saw the face of the Empress Dowager, she shivered. She recognized this face. ' the nose, the eyes, the lisp, everything was the same... It was her.'
'Her Mother.'
When her mother, Li Nian was alive, they were a happy family of three. Her Mom and Dad were happy together and Xie Ming was their dear daughter which was pampered by them.
Her mother always taught her to be independent and confident. She taught Ming to fight against wrong and never do anything that your heart does not agree with it. She was the main reason, that despite going through so much, she was not astray.
She has done nothing, that will go against her morals. She may be sharp-tongued and blunt but it was to protect herself from this cruel world.
But she has never hurt any innocent or done anything wrong. It's just she was misunderstood, and that's why her image in the modern world looked like a rude and brat who does not respect others.
