After Xia Ying calmed down, Lin Jiuqing said, "I came here today because I want to ask you for help."

Xia Ying immediately put down her teacup, stood up, and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, please give your orders."

Lin Jiuqing said slowly: "These secret guards in the harem are under your command, right?"

In front of Lin Jiuqing, this top-secret matter is not considered top-secret. Among the secret guards, Lin Jiuqing's rank is equal to that of His Majesty.

Therefore, Xia Ying nodded without hesitation: "Your Majesty, it is under the charge of this servant."

"Then I want you to check on Concubine Shun," Lin Jiuqing said calmly, "I want to know who she has met recently, what she has said, and what she has done."

Lin Jiuqing looked into Xia Ying's eyes and said word by word: "I suspect that the leak of the portrait is related to Concubine Shun."

Xia Ying's expression suddenly became serious: "Did the queen find anything?"

Lin Jiuqing shook his head: "I didn't find anything, I just suspected it."

Xia Ying was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, I will send someone to check right away, and I will give you a result as quickly as possible."

Lin Jiuqing nodded, and then said, "There is no need to report this matter to His Majesty and Ningning. They have been busy lately, and there is no need to distract them."

Xia Ying: "Yes, I understand."

Lin Jiuqing gave a few more instructions before letting Xia Ying leave.

After Xia Ying left, Lin Jiuqing pinched his brows and said softly, "I hope it wasn't you."

Maybe Zhou Ruo is really a smart person as Mo Xiao said?

-

Because Zhou Ruo was questioned by the Queen Mother last time, he has been going to the Queen Mother's palace frequently these days.

However, she could see Lin Qingqing every time she went there.

Not only that, Lin Qingqing would always hug the Second Prince and coax him gently, and the relationship between the two seemed to be quite close.

When Zhou Ruo saw that Lin Qingqing was making the Second Prince giggle with the rattle in her hand, he could hardly hold back the smile on his face.

She took a deep breath, walked over quickly, and said to Lin Qingqing, "The child has grown up, and it's heavy to hold him. Let me do it."

Lin Qingqing took a step back and looked at Zhou Ruo provocatively: "I don't think it's heavy. I can still carry it."

Zhou Ruo narrowed his eyes, looked around, and when he saw that there was no one else, his tone instantly turned cold: "Lin Qingqing, what do you want to do?"

Lin Qingqing looked at Zhou Ruo with a smile and said slowly: "Didn't you see? This child likes me and loves to play with me."

Zhou Ruo narrowed his eyes and stared at the giggling Second Prince for a while, feeling a surge of anger in his heart.

This ungrateful guy, I obviously spend more time with him, but he is closer to Lin Qingqing.

Zhou Ruo suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Children are ignorant. No matter who teases him, he will be very happy. However, there is only one mother, who cannot be replaced by anyone. Concubine Xian will understand this, right?"

Lin Qingqing sneered: "I see that An'er is not close to you, which shows how incompetent you are as a mother."

"When it comes to a mother like you, nothing is irreplaceable."

Zhou Ruo's face turned completely cold: "What do you mean?"

Lin Qingqing said calmly: "An'er and I have a good relationship. I think it's not bad to raise a child. What do you think?"

Zhou Ruo's breathing became heavier. This child was not her own, and she did not love him very much. However, this child was her support and her life-saving talisman.
