As everyone knelt down, Lin Jiuqing, who was sitting in the middle, and a child in Lin Jiuqing's arms were revealed.

Mo Xiao's eyes suddenly widened, and he blurted out: "I've only been out for a day, and you gave me a child?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent, and Lin Jiuqing looked at Mo Xiao with an indescribable look.

Mo Xiao: "..."

Mo Xiao coughed lightly and realized how stupid what he had just said was.

"Everyone, go down." Mo Xiao waved his hand and asked those who were kneeling to go down, so that others would not see his embarrassing side.

After everyone left, Mo Xiao walked over to Lin Jiuqing and sat down. He stared at the child for a long time, and finally asked Lin Jiuqing: "Where did you get this child from?"

Lin Jiuqing: "..."

Lin Jiuqing took a deep breath and patiently said to Mo Xiao: "Why, you can't even recognize your Second Prince?"

Mo Xiao: "??"

He stared at the child carefully for a few seconds, and finally raised his hand to rub his brows, muttering softly: "It's not my fault. He was a wrinkled little kid when he first came to the palace. Who knew he would grow up to be so beautiful and charming."

Lin Jiuqing: "Newly born babies are wrinkled."

Mo Xiao: "Anyway, he didn't look like this when I met him."

Lin Jiuqing: "..."

Lin Jiuqing sighed. He could understand it. After all, Mo Xiao had never visited the child.

Mo Xiao poked the child's cheek with his finger and asked Lin Jiuqing: "Why did you bring him here?"

"The child was originally with the Queen Mother, but I learned that Zhou Ruo wanted to take the child back to raise him herself," Lin Jiuqing raised his eyes and looked at Mo Xiao, "I felt that the child was innocent, and I didn't want her to become someone else's bargaining chip, so I took the initiative and brought the child back in your name."

Mo Xiao didn't care what Lin Jiuqing was doing in his name, he just asked: "What is Zhou Ruo doing?"

Lin Jiuqing didn't answer for a while.

Zhou Ruo's matter was just her speculation. Zhou Chen had found out some things, but it was not enough to prove that Zhou Ruo was related to this matter, so this matter had not yet come to Mo Xiao's attention. In Mo Xiao's eyes, Zhou Ruo was still the smart man who knew the current situation.

Lin Jiuqing lowered his head, glanced at the child, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just saw that Zhou Ruo didn't seem to care much about this."

Mo Xiao: "After all, they are not her biological children. It is not bad that she can act like this. It is difficult to ask her to love her child like a real mother."

"Well, I understand," Lin Jiuqing said, "but the child is innocent. We brought him here in the hope of giving him the best life."

"Besides, I think he's cute and I like him a lot."

Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows, stared at the child for a few seconds, and finally said to Lin Jiuqing: "Since you like him, then stay. I am too busy with official duties on weekdays and have too little time to accompany you. If he is here, you will not be lonely in Lan Yin Palace."

Lin Jiuqing was stunned: "Aren't you going to send her back to the Queen Mother?"

"Don't you like it?" Mo Xiao said as if it was a matter of course, "If you like it, then there's no need to send it back. I'll talk to the Queen Mother."

Lin Jiuqing pursed his lips: "But..."

"No buts," Mo Xiao said with a smile, "I believe that it is best for the child to be with you, what do you think?"
