The Queen Mother couldn't help but frowned after hearing that. She glanced at Zhou Ruo and said slowly, "You haven't come to see An'er for a few days."

Although the child was raised by the Queen Mother, she did not stop Zhou Ruo, the biological mother, from visiting. On the contrary, the Queen Mother hoped that Zhou Ruo could come and accompany An'er every day. Even if she loved the Second Prince, could she replace the mother's position in the child's mind? The child would always be different with his mother by his side.

In the past, Zhou Ruo was very dedicated and came here every day to accompany An'er, but as time went by, she became more and more negligent, only coming to see the child every other day or several days. Recently, she has not come to see the child for several days in a row.

The Queen Mother was somewhat dissatisfied with this, and Zhou Ruo's words just now seemed to imply that she had taken the child away, which made the Queen Mother feel even more uncomfortable.

When Zhou Ruo heard the Queen Mother say this, she knew that what she had said just now had displeased the Queen Mother. After a slight pause, she sighed and said to the Queen Mother, "I just came out of Lan Yin Palace. I have been worried about Concubine Chen these days, so I neglected An'er. Don't be angry, mother."

The Queen Mother's attention was diverted immediately, and she asked in a deep voice, "What happened again?"

Lin Qingqing, who was standing next to him, moved her eyes and stared at Zhou Ruo with a cold expression.

"Your Majesty, you may not know that the former court has been in turmoil recently because of the Concubine Chen's affairs."

Zhou Ruo told the story of Tuoba Xuan's painting, and then told the story of how the Concubine Chen was blocked by the ministers at the entrance of Yinghua Palace that day. Then he sighed and said softly, "I am really worried about the Concubine Chen. I am afraid that she will be under too much pressure and will not be able to get over it."

"It's bitterly cold outside the Great Wall. How can the Concubine Chen endure such suffering?"

Before the Queen Mother could speak, Lin Qingqing, who was standing on the side, suddenly said in a cold voice: "Are all the men in the court dead? Do you want a weak woman to sacrifice herself in exchange for peace?"

"Besides, who told you that the Concubine Chen would definitely go outside the Great Wall?"

Zhou Ruo looked up at Lin Qingqing and his brows gradually frowned.

Lin Qingqing snorted coldly and said loudly: "The current emperor is wise and powerful. He is definitely not a person who sells his wife for fame. In my opinion, let alone the concubine, even if it is an ordinary woman, the emperor will never sacrifice her in exchange for peace."

"Your Majesty is a man of steel and will never bow to anyone."

Lin Qingqing's tone was filled with undisguised admiration for Mo Xiao.

After Lin Qingqing said this, the room was quiet for a long time.

Finally, it was the Queen Mother who spoke.

"The harem is not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the previous dynasty," the empress dowager glanced at Zhou Ruo and said slowly, "The emperor will handle this matter himself, you just need to do your own thing."

Zhou Ruo's expression changed, he slowly lowered his head and said softly: "I am just worried about Sister Chen Fei. I am afraid that she is under too much pressure and can't think straight."

"I am also worried about His Majesty, and I am afraid that he will be in a dilemma."

After a pause, Zhou Ruo pursed her lips and said softly: "I don't want to interfere in the affairs of the previous dynasty... Mother, I know I was wrong."

Seeing her like this, the Queen Mother felt very sorry for her. She softened her tone and said to Zhou Ruo softly, "The Emperor has his own opinion on this matter. You don't have to worry too much."

Zhou Ruo nodded obediently: "Yes, I understand."

Lin Qingqing on the side sneered and said in a very low voice: "The cat cries over the rat, but it's just false sympathy."
