The legitimate daughter is reborn and cannot escape after being provoked by the tyrant

Zhou Chen stood at the entrance of Lan Yin Palace, took a deep breath to calm himself down, then took a step back and said to the guard, "Then please inform them that Zhou Chen wants to see Empress Chen."

At the gate of Lanyin Palace, even Zhou Chen, a close minister of the emperor, had to bow his head.

These guards standing at the door seemed no different from the imperial guards, but Zhou Chen knew that they were all carefully selected secret guards by His Majesty, and when necessary, they even had the right to execute first and report later. Except for His Majesty, they only obeyed the orders of Lin Jiuqing.

The guard obviously knew Zhou Chen and nodded: "Master Zhou, please wait a moment."

The guard went in hastily, and came out in a moment, saying politely, "Master Zhou, please come in."

Zhou Chen breathed a sigh of relief and walked in, but the royal guards he brought with him were stopped outside the door.

As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Lin Jiuqing and Zhou Ruo sitting opposite each other, with Zhou Ruo holding the second prince in her arms.

Seeing Zhou Chen coming in, Zhou Ruo looked back, a little smile appeared on his face, and he called out, "Cousin."

Zhou Chen's eyes moved, and he did not respond to Zhou Ruo's words, but turned to Lin Jiuqing: "Greetings to Her Majesty the Concubine Chen."

Lin Jiuqing raised his hand: "Master Zhou, there is no need to be so polite."

Seeing Zhou Chen standing up, Lin Jiuqing asked, "Master Zhou, why are you here so hurriedly? Is there something?"

Zhou Chen smiled at Lin Jiuqing and said, "Yes, there is something, but it has nothing to do with Empress Chen."

After Zhou Chen finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Ruo who was sitting on the side and said in a deep voice: "Noble Concubine Shun, please come with me."

As soon as he said this, Lin Jiuqing's face darkened little by little.

She knew very well what Zhou Chen had been doing recently. Now that Zhou Chen had come to her, she thought the truth of the matter had probably come to light.

She looked at Zhou Ruo, stood up, walked over, took the second prince out of Zhou Ruo's arms, and then returned to her original position.

Zhou Ruo looked calm, glanced at his empty arms, and then said to Lin Jiuqing: "What is Concubine Chen afraid of? Is there anything else I can do to my son?"

Lin Jiuqing didn't say anything, and looked at Zhou Ruo with a somewhat cold look.

Zhou Chen stepped forward and stood in front of Lin Jiuqing, saying sternly, "No need to say anything more, Concubine Shun. Just come with me."

Zhou Ruo sat there without moving, and said slowly: "Cousin, I don't mean to embarrass you, I just can't go with you."

She smiled at Zhou Chen and said softly, "If I go with you today, will I be able to come out alive?"

Zhou Chen took a deep breath, his tone softened a little, and said to Zhou Ruo: "I have already pleaded for you in front of His Majesty, and His Majesty has also promised that if you behave yourself from now on, he can spare your life."

"So, stop being so stubborn and come with me to get this over with. This way, you can start over."

Zhou Ruo was stunned when he heard Zhou Chen's words. He murmured, "His Majesty... is he willing to spare my life? It seems that he is not so heartless to me."

After saying that, he actually laughed softly and seemed to be in a good mood.

Zhou Chen's heart sank when he saw her like this. He took two steps forward and said anxiously, "This Lan Yin Palace is not a place for you to fool around. Come with me."

Zhou Ruo looked at Zhou Chen, shook his head slowly, and said softly: "Cousin, I don't want to live like the cowardly life I did before. So, I can't go with you."
