Zhou Ruo was sincere, kneeling on the ground and keeping his posture as low as possible.

Lin Jiuqing didn't say anything, just drank his tea in silence, leaving everything to Mo Xiao to handle.

Mo Xiao lowered his eyes and looked at Zhou Ruo, and said slowly: "If I couldn't bear the pressure, couldn't stand the pressure of those ministers, and really let the concubine go to the border, would you repent or be happy at that time?"

Zhou Ruo: "..."

She froze, not daring to look up.

If Lin Jiuqing really went to the border to marry, would she be happy or would she repent? Zhou Ruo knew that she would definitely be happy, because things finally went as she wished. Without Lin Jiuqing, she would be the only exception in the entire harem.

Zhou Ruo was speechless, but Mo Xiao's expression became even colder: "In this case, how can you still have the nerve to ask me to forgive you?"

Zhou Ruo's eyes were red, and she finally looked up at Mo Xiao, choking with sobs and saying, "Your Majesty, I... I really won't dare to do it again. This time, I was foolish and asked for something that didn't belong to me. After this, I have completely understood. I won't ask for anything in the rest of my life. I just want to live a peaceful life with An'er."

"Your Majesty, please give me one last chance for the sake of our past relationship."

Mo Xiao didn't even think about it and immediately said, "Before you and I, there was only a deal, no affection."

Zhou Ruo froze for a moment, tears welling up in her eyes almost instantly.

She originally thought that there was some affection between them, after all, Mo Xiao's attitude towards her and other concubines was different. Not only that, she was even willing to talk to her more, and her eyes were gentle.

But Mo Xiao said that there was only a transaction between them.

Mo Xiao seemed to know what she was thinking, and said calmly: "I thought you were a smart person, so I praised you a little, but I never thought that your cleverness would backfire."

Zhou Ruo seemed to lose all his strength in an instant. He staggered backwards and only managed to kneel again by supporting himself with his hands.

Everything she did was just wishful thinking.

These foolish things made her feel like she was imprisoned in her own prison, and she is now in critical condition.

She lost more than she gained.

Zhou Ruo raised her hands to cover her cheeks. After a while, she kowtowed deeply and said word by word: "I overestimated my own abilities, I was wishful thinking, and I was confused for a moment... This is the first time and the last time. Please, Your Majesty, give me another chance."

After saying that, he turned around and kowtowed in the direction of Lin Jiuqing: "I was bewildered and hurt you, you can punish me however you want. But please, for the sake of my past care for you, give me another chance."

Lin Jiuqing slowly put down the teacup in his hand and turned his head to look at Mo Xiao.

Mo Xiao held Lin Jiuqing's hand and squeezed it, then looked at Zhou Ruo and said calmly: "Your help to her in the past was all at my instruction. Don't you know how many benefits I gave you for this? Everything is just a deal, without any favors at all, how dare you ask for it?"

Zhou Ruo understood that everything Mo Xiao said was true, but she was now at the end of her rope.

"Then please, Your Majesty, give me another chance because I am still loyal and keep me like a dog. I will serve Your Majesty and the Concubine Chen with all my strength without hesitation." Zhou Ruo lowered his head and said in a numb tone.

In order to survive, she threw away even the last bit of dignity.
