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

Lin Jiuqing was stunned for a moment, stared at Zhou Ruo for a few seconds, and then shouted to the outside: "Yingyue."

Yingyue ran in quickly from outside, first looked Lin Jiuqing up and down, then breathed a sigh of relief, and then said softly: "My queen, what do you want?"

Lin Jiuqing said: "Go to Yinghua Palace and ask His Majesty to come over."

Yingyue nodded after listening to it, as if she was used to it, and turned around and walked out.

Zhou Ruo watched from the side, pursed her lips, and said bitterly: "Recently, due to the peace talks between the two countries and the unrest at the border, His Majesty has been busy in Yinghua Palace all day. Even the Queen Mother can't see His Majesty, let alone other people. But you can invite people here so casually... Concubine Chen, you are really the luckiest person in the world. You have won the heart of the emperor."

Lin Jiuqing said calmly: "Yes, I am lucky, but I also paid a price, so it is also lucky for him."

Zhou Ruo was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything for a long time.

At first, she thought it was a little ridiculous. In this world where men are superior to women, there are actually women who can say such things. What's more, the man is not an ordinary person, but the current emperor. But then, she was shocked by Lin Jiuqing's courage and strong inner strength, and then she was indescribably envious.

She thought, no wonder His Majesty was so obsessed with this man.

Zhou Ruo lowered his eyes and said nothing more.

Lin Jiuqing was not in a hurry either. He even made tea for the Zhou brothers and sisters and waited slowly.

About a quarter of an hour later, footsteps were heard outside the door. It was Mo Xiao who came back.

The Zhou brothers and sisters immediately knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty!"

Mo Xiao walked straight to Lin Jiuqing, took Lin Jiuqing's hand, and asked with concern: "How is it, are you okay?"

Lin Jiuqing shook his head: "This is Lan Yin Palace, what can I do?"

"Are you not tired?" Mo Xiao frowned, looking a little unhappy. "Don't worry about these stressful things. Mr. Mu said that you need to rest and not get stressed."

Lin Jiuqing was somewhat helpless: "I am not made of paper, how can I be so fragile? It's just a small matter, I can still handle it."

Mo Xiao saw that she was in good spirits and her complexion looked barely acceptable.

He turned around and ignored Zhou Ruo who was kneeling on the ground. Instead, he looked at Zhou Chen: "I asked you to handle this matter, but you came to Lan Yin Palace to handle it?"

Zhou Chen knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise his head: "I am incompetent and disturbed the Empress Chen. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Zhou Ruo who was standing next to him couldn't help but say, "This is not Lord Zhou's fault, it's me..."

"I know it's you," Mo Xiao finally turned to look at Zhou Ruo and said in a cold tone, "It will be your turn soon, there's no need to be so anxious."

Zhou Ruo opened his mouth, but didn't say a word.

Mo Xiao looked at Zhou Chen again and said coldly, "You have been partial to each other and violated the law before, and you did not handle the matter well this time. These two things are combined. I will fine you twenty military sticks and a year's salary. Go ahead."

Zhou Chen took a deep breath and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

I was only punished and not dismissed, which proves that Your Majesty still needs me. That's all good.

Zhou Chen stood up, took a deep look at Zhou Ruo who was still kneeling, then left Lan Yin Palace with his head lowered.

Zhou Ruo was kneeling on the ground, his expression somewhat stiff, not at all like the confident look he had before Mo Xiao came.

She clearly had the upper hand, but in front of Mo Xiao, she instantly lost her confidence.
