She put down the list and looked candidly into Liu Daqing's eyes: "Empress Dowager, if Brother Donglin needed me the most and I wasn't by his side, then I really don't know what use I am to him."
"Xixi, I don't want your studies to be delayed."
Doesn't she understand Liu the Empress Dowager's kind intentions?

It's because of love.

She quietly said: "In one's lifetime, there are many opportunities to learn. But, Brother Donglin, there's only one. To me, Brother Donglin is my only kin in this world. I can't imagine what remains in my life without him. Even if I achieve great success, even becoming exceedingly rich... but without him, are all these pursuits worth it?"
Liu Daqing was silent.
