On this day, Mo Xiao finally finished his work and returned to Lan Yin Palace after many days.

As soon as he entered the door, he pulled Lin Jiuqing over, held him in his arms, put his head on his shoulder, and stood there quietly without saying a word.

Lin Jiuqing didn't disturb him. He raised his hand and patted him gently on the back, just waiting quietly.

After a long while, Mo Xiao finally let out a long sigh: "I'm so tired."

He is the emperor, the sky for everyone. Everyone in this world can complain about hardship and tiredness, but he cannot. He must be like an iron man, continue to work when everyone else is tired, take charge when everyone is undecided, and still stand when everyone else falls.

But it was different when he returned to Lan Yin Palace. He was not the emperor. He was just the male owner of the family, just an ordinary husband. He could act coquettishly to his wife and complain about being tired to her.

He rubbed Lin Jiuqing's shoulder and whispered, "I really want to take a nap."

Lin Jiuqing felt a little distressed: "I'll ask the kitchen to warm up the food, you take a nap first?"

Mo Xiao shook his head: "There are other things to do."

After saying that, he took a step back, staring straight at Lin Jiuqing like a puppy, without saying a word.

Lin Jiuqing was stared at by him for a moment, then slowly said: "Why, does this matter have anything to do with me?"

Mo Xiao nodded, speaking cautiously, "The fact that things can progress so quickly this time is largely due to the contribution of the Minister of Revenue. The old man has almost settled down in the Ministry of Revenue in recent times. He hasn't been back for a long time, and he looks older than before."

"I thought that this matter was not over yet, and there would be many things that would require him in the future, so I wanted to give him some sweet treats so that he would feel at ease working for me."

After hearing what Mo Xiao said, Lin Jiuqing could basically guess what Mo Xiao meant.

Minister Lin had been a top official in his life, and he was not short of money or power. What he cared about most was his precious daughter. If he wanted to appease Minister Lin at this time, the best way was to start directly with Minister Lin's daughter.

"Are you going to favor Concubine Xian?" Lin Jiuqing looked at Mo Xiao and asked softly.

Mo Xiao's eyes widened and he shook his head repeatedly: "How is it possible? I never had this idea. Don't wrongly accuse me."

Lin Jiuqing raised his eyebrows: "Then what are you going to do?"

"I was just thinking that I have never treated Concubine Xian well since she entered the palace... After that incident, Concubine Xian changed a lot. And after what happened this time, I decided to go visit her. It can also be regarded as an attitude to Minister Lin, letting him know that I will not wrong his daughter."

Mo Xiao looked at Lin Jiuqing, feeling a little aggrieved: "How could I have thought that you thought of me this way."

Lin Jiuqing looked at Mo Xiao with a half-smile: "But Concubine Xian wants more than just a visit. She is infatuated with Your Majesty. Who in the harem doesn't know it?"

Mo Xiao immediately said: "That's her business. This is all I can give you."

After a pause, he continued, "If you mind, I won't go to visit her. It's the same if I ask someone to prepare some rewards and send them to Concubine Xian."

Lin Jiuqing shook his head: "Go, why not? Only if you go in person can you show your sincerity, and Minister Lin will feel more assured."

Mo Xiao looked at Lin Jiuqing suspiciously.

He knew Lin Jiuqing quite well. Although he was gentle and kind, he was not the kind of person who could tolerate and be magnanimous.
