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

Zhou Ruo looked at Lin Jiuqing and smiled: "Concubine Chen, you are joking. How can I be qualified to threaten you?"

"With His Majesty standing behind you, who in this world can threaten you?"

Lin Jiuqing also smiled and asked Zhou Ruo: "In that case, what does the Imperial Concubine want?"

Zhou Ruo leaned forward, stared at Lin Jiuqing closely, and said word by word: "Empress Chen, how about we make a deal?"

Lin Jiuqing raised his eyebrows: "What deal?"

"I will keep your affairs a secret. As for the fake daughter of the Lu family, I can also make sure that she will never be able to speak." Zhou Ruo looked at Lin Jiuqing and said word by word, "But can this matter be exposed? I also promise that I will never do anything that is disadvantageous to you again."

Zhou Ruo pulled the corners of his lips with some difficulty and said softly: "I still have An'er. I will take good care of An'er for the rest of my life."

Lin Jiuqing looked at Zhou Ruo calmly and said slowly: "My Lady Imperial Concubine, this matter of yours is not only about me, but also about the entire country. You secretly traded with Tuoba Xuan, which is a crime of treason. Do you want to just let it go?"

Zhou Ruo said in a serious tone: "I did not collaborate with the enemy or commit treason."

"My contact with Tuoba Xuan did not involve any national interests from beginning to end. We only talked about the painting...other than that, nothing else." Zhou Ruo said in a deep voice, "The charge of treason and collaborating with the enemy cannot fall on me."

"My Lady, you think things are too simple," Lin Jiuqing said calmly, "You thought that cooperating with Tuoba Xuan was just to get rid of me, a thorn in your side, and it was not considered treason. However, from the moment you came into contact with Tuoba Xuan, you were convicted of treason."

"Let's not talk about whether His Majesty loves me or not. After all, I am His Majesty's concubine, but you want me to marry him. Where do you put His Majesty's face? Where do you put the dignity of the country?"

Faced with Lin Jiuqing's questioning, Zhou Ru was speechless for a moment.

She was silent for a long time, and finally said softly: "I didn't think too much about it at the time."

Zhou Ruo raised her hand and rubbed her brow. She looked at Lin Jiuqing and said softly, "I don't want to do this, but you're going too far."

Lin Jiuqing was puzzled: "Where did I go wrong?"

"Since you entered the palace, His Majesty has always favored you and has never visited other concubines' bedrooms," Zhou Ruo said word by word, "There have been complaints in the harem for a long time, but His Majesty has protected you too well, and no one can enter this Lan Yin Palace."

Lin Jiuqing smiled and said, "My Lady, before I entered the palace, His Majesty never entered the bedrooms of other concubines. How come it became my sin as soon as I entered the palace?"

"Or is it that His Majesty would visit you before I entered the palace, but would never visit you again after I entered the palace? Is this what you really care about?"

Zhou Ruo's face turned pale and blue, and finally he stood up: "So what?"

"Before you, I was valued by His Majesty. Who in the harem didn't respect me? But since you entered the palace, His Majesty has ignored me, causing those concubines to look down on me and talk about me behind my back. You spend all day hiding in the Lanyin Palace, living under His Majesty's wings. Naturally, you don't know how difficult it is to survive in the harem."

Zhou Ruo complained harshly and expressed all his grievances.
