The mask on Zhou Ruo's face was almost shattered during the casual conversation between the master and servant.

Cui Ping is a person who can't keep secrets on weekdays, and now she can't keep secrets any more. Her eyes widened after hearing this: "What does the Empress Chen mean by this? Could it be that my Empress would harm the little prince?"

"My queen is the second prince's biological mother and blood relative. How could she possibly have any bad thoughts about the second prince?"

Cuiping had long disliked Lin Jiuqing. How could an orphan girl with no background and no support be so favored by His Majesty? More importantly, his majesty had repeatedly taken the initiative to show her affection, but she always looked aloof, as if her majesty was asking for favors.

The most important thing is that it can be seen at first glance that this Concubine Chen has a close relationship with Concubine Xian, while Concubine Xian and their queen are the least compatible.

After Cuiping's question, everyone at the scene fell silent instantly.

Even Lin Qingqing, who was holding the child, couldn't help but stand up with the child in her arms, looking at Zhou Ruo with an indescribable look.

Zhou Ruo also realized that something was wrong, and quickly spoke up to smooth things over: "I know, this is the rule of the palace. Anything that the master wants to use must be inspected by the Imperial Hospital. The Concubine Chen did this in accordance with the rules, and it was also for An'er's sake."

"My maidservant doesn't understand the palace rules, so she said something that doesn't follow the rules. Sister Chen Fei, please don't take it personally."

After Zhou Ruo finished speaking, he looked at Lin Jiuqing nervously, afraid that Lin Jiuqing would pursue the matter.

If Lin Jiuqing were to pursue the matter, even if it was a very small crime, His Majesty would probably put a big hat on them and then find an opportunity to get rid of them.

Cuiping didn't know why her mother, as a noble concubine, would tolerate Concubine Chen to be like this.

Even though the Concubine Chen is favored, her status is still lower than that of the Imperial Concubine. Why is she so afraid of the Concubine Chen?

Lin Jiuqing didn't think too much about it, he just nodded and said softly: "It's good that the imperial concubine knows."

The things were handed to Yingyue alone, and Yingyue took them away. Cuiping could only watch helplessly, feeling extremely angry.

Zhou Ruo didn't want to continue to dwell on this matter, so he just said, "Can I hug An'er?"

Lin Jiuqing raised his eyebrows, glanced at Lin Qingqing who was sitting on the side, and said: "You are the child's biological mother. You gave birth to him after ten months of pregnancy. You can do whatever you want to him."

After Zhou Ruo got permission, he quickly walked to Lin Qingqing and said in a colder tone, "Give me the child."

Lin Qingqing glanced at the hand stretched out in front of her and said calmly: "Look at your hands, you don't look like you are taking care of a child. Let's leave this dirty and tiring work to the group of people below us."

Zhou Ruo: "What do you mean?"

"How dare you ask me what I mean? I want to ask you what you mean?" Lin Qingqing said in a cold voice, "An'er has been in Lanyin Palace for some time. There are many concubines in the harem. Although they cannot come to Lanyin Palace, they all sent valuable gifts to show their concern. And you, as the biological mother of the child, have not shown up yet... Do you still have this child in your heart?"

Zhou Ruo raised his hand and pinched his brows, then slowly said, "I've been busy lately, so I couldn't come to visit An'er right away. It's not that I don't have him in my heart."
