Zhou Chen left, and Mo Xiao shifted his gaze to Zhou Ruo, and said slowly: "Now it's your turn."

The look in Zhou Ruo's eyes finally changed. She looked at Lin Jiuqing who was sitting next to her and called out anxiously, "Empress Chen, you promised me."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Mo Xiao's eyes instantly became colder, and he looked at Zhou Ruo as if he was looking at a dead person.

Zhou Ruo was so scared that her whole body was shaking. She bit her lips tightly, not daring to look at Mo Xiao's expression. She could only stare at Lin Jiuqing.

Lin Jiuqing put down the teacup and said to Mo Xiao beside him: "Lu Menghua is in her hands."

As soon as these words came out, Mo Xiao suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Jiuqing.

Lin Jiuqing looked calm and continued, "She said that as long as she could keep everything she has now, she would hide Lu Menghua well and keep this secret well, and would not let anyone know. From then on, she would behave herself as her imperial concubine and raise the second prince peacefully."

Mo Xiao stared at Lin Jiuqing closely, and even leaned forward, as if he could hold the person in his arms with just one hand.

It's no wonder that he was nervous. Lin Jiuqing's past was not a pleasant thing worth remembering. If possible, Mo Xiao hoped that she would never think about it again in her life.

The hardships brought to her by the Lu family, the pain brought to her by Tang Xiuyan, the heartbreak brought by the double betrayal of her family and lover...all of it was a disaster for Lin Jiuqing.

He has finally settled down with Lin Jiuqing, and he doesn't want Lin Jiuqing to think about the past even a little bit.

But someone just wanted to dig up the past and tear it apart bloody and lay it out in front of Lin Jiuqing.

Lin Jiuqing knew what Mo Xiao was thinking from his expression. He smiled at him reassuringly and said softly, "I agreed to her conditions. After all, she has the leverage over me, right?"

Mo Xiao closed his eyes, raised his hand and held Lin Jiuqing's hand, gently squeezed it, and whispered: "Okay, I know everything, I'll take care of the rest, you go back and rest first?"

Lin Jiuqing glanced at Zhou Ruo who was still kneeling on the ground, hesitated for a moment, and swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue: "Okay, I'll leave it to you."

Lin Jiuqing stood up and wanted to leave, but Zhou Ruo, who was kneeling on the ground, panicked and shouted loudly: "Concubine Chen, you can't leave."

Lin Jiuqing paused and looked back at Zhou Ruo: "I have already done what you asked me to say, why can't I leave?"

Zhou Ruo quickly glanced at Mo Xiao's expression and said stumblingly: "You, you did not fulfill the agreement between us. This matter is not over yet."

Before Lin Jiuqing could say anything, Mo Xiao said directly: "I will come to settle this matter with you personally, you don't have to drag her along."

Zhou Ruo opened his mouth, not daring to respond to Mo Xiao's words. He only dared to stare at Lin Jiuqing and said stubbornly, "You can't leave."

Lin Jiuqing left, leaving her here alone to face Mo Xiao. Zhou Ruo simply couldn't hold on.

Mo Xiao frowned and was about to explode, but Lin Jiuqing sat down again and said calmly: "Okay, I won't leave."

Mo Xiao glanced sideways at Lin Jiuqing, and seeing that she was not too affected, he didn't say anything else and just let her go.

Zhou Ruoze breathed a sigh of relief, gathered a little courage to face Mo Xiao, and said word by word: "Your Majesty, please understand. I already know that I was wrong. As long as Your Majesty is willing to let me go this time, I swear on my life that I will never do anything that will harm the Concubine Chen or Your Majesty again in this life."
