The legitimate daughter is reborn and cannot escape after being provoked by the tyrant
Chapter 1030: Just a suspicion, no basis
While Lin Jiuqing was investigating Zhou Ruo, Zhou Chen was also investigating the people around Tuoba Xuan.
As they investigated, Zhou Chen's people and Xia Ying's people found a common thread, and this matter first alarmed Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen didn't know whether this was Lin Jiuqing's own behavior or instructed by His Majesty, but he knew that Xia Ying was someone close to Mo Chengning.
Zhou Chen knew Lin Jiuqing's position in Mo Xiao's heart, and he didn't want to be caught in the middle. After thinking for a moment, he decided to meet Lin Jiuqing.
Ministers of the previous dynasty did not have the right to walk into the harem. In order to convey the message to Lin Jiuqing's ears, Zhou Chen waited for a long time and finally contacted Lin Jiuqing through the secret guards.
Lin Jiuqing was shocked when he received Zhou Chen's report. They were old acquaintances, but their relationship had always been distant.
In the previous life, Zhou Chen, as Mo Xiao's strategist, was most disgusted with her, a beauty who ruined Mo Xiao's reputation. To Zhou Chen, she was a stain on his master's life and should not exist. Therefore, their relationship was not pleasant.
In this life, their relationship eased a little, but they were still just nodding acquaintances.
The two met in the Imperial Garden, and Zhou Chen said politely, "Greetings to Her Majesty the Concubine Chen."
Lin Jiuqing hurriedly said, "Master Zhou, there is no need to be so polite. Please stand up quickly."
Zhou Chen was very touched by Lin Jiuqing's politeness, and couldn't help but smile when he stood up.
Lin Jiuqing took the initiative to speak: "Lord Zhou said there was something very important. May I ask, what happened?"
She thought to herself that apart from her family, nothing else mattered to her.
"But what happened to my brother at the border?" Lin Jiuqing asked nervously.
Her younger brother, Lu Zian, went to the border alone after the Lu family was burned to death. Apart from His Majesty, only Zhou Chen in front of him knew about this.
Zhou Chen was afraid of scaring Lin Jiuqing, so he quickly shook his head: "No, no, Master Lu is doing well at the border, and is now working under Princess Chen. Princess Chen values him very much, don't worry, madam."
When Lin Jiuqing heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "I asked you to come here today because I have something else to ask you."
"Your Majesty, are you asking Xia Ying to investigate the leak of Tuoba Xuan's portrait?"
Lin Jiuqing was stunned, but did not hide it: "Yes, I asked Xia Ying to investigate this matter privately. I wonder how Lord Zhou knew about it?"
Zhou Chen did not answer this question, but asked: "Does your majesty know about this?"
"He and Ningning have been too busy recently. I didn't want them to be troubled by such a small matter, so I didn't tell them." Lin Jiuqing said softly.
Zhou Chen was silent for a moment before he said, "Your Majesty has her own considerations, and I understand."
"So what does Mr. Zhou mean?"
"I have received orders to investigate the leak of the portrait. Some time ago, my subordinates discovered that another group of people were also investigating the matter. After asking, we found out that they were the queen's people."
Zhou Chen looked at Lin Jiuqing and said, "May I ask, Madam, do you have any suspicions about someone?"
Only then did Lin Jiuqing realize that it was because of this incident.
Lin Jiuqing thought for a while before saying, "This is just my random guess. I have no basis for it."
Zhou Chen: "Your Majesty, please feel free to speak."
"Noble Concubine Shun," Lin Jiuqing said calmly, "I suspect this matter is related to Noble Concubine Shun, so I asked Xia Ying to help investigate."
