The news of Zhou Ruo's death shocked the entire harem.

When this incident came out, Lin Qingqing was in the Empress Dowager's palace talking to her. When she heard Qiuyue report this incident, she was so shocked that the teacup in her hand fell to the ground.

The Queen Mother was also incredulous and asked three times in a row: "Is there any misunderstanding in this matter?"

Qiuyue answered calmly, "This matter has been handled by the Dali Temple Minister and Lord Zhou, and will be handled by Your Majesty personally. There will be no doubts."

Queen Mother: "..."

The Queen Mother opened her mouth and after a long while she finally uttered: "Why bother, kid!"

After saying that, he couldn't help but tears up in his eyes.

Among the many concubines in the harem, Zhou Ruo was the only one who served her the most. When Zhou Ruo's child was born, the empress dowager raised him personally, and this filial piety had touched the empress dowager sincerely.

But now that Zhou Ruo had such an incident, the Queen Mother felt unbelievable, uncomfortable and regretful. In her opinion, Zhou Ruo's child was of a poor origin, but her character was fine. She was the only one among all the women in the harem who gave birth to Mo Xiao's child.

The Queen Mother was sad and sighed a few times, then couldn't help but ask, "What should An'er do if something like this happens?"

Then, he quickly asked Qiuyue: "Is An'er okay now?"

Qiuyue said quickly: "The Second Prince is in Lanyin Palace, being taken care of by Empress Chenfei herself."

The Queen Mother pursed her lips and finally said, "An'er is doing very well with her. With her protection, An'er has a promising future."

Qiuyue didn't say anything, but she agreed very much in her heart.

No matter where the child is placed, it is better to place him in Lanyin Palace. Because this child has been recognized by the Concubine Chen, it is equivalent to being recognized by His Majesty.

As long as this child can please Concubine Chen, His Majesty will certainly take better care of him.

The Queen Mother seemed to be so shocked by the news that she was unable to recover. She looked a little tired, so she stood up and walked towards the house.

Lin Qingqing didn't dare to say more. She personally sent the empress dowager into the room and then left the empress dowager's room.

As soon as she came out, Lin Qingqing couldn't hold it in any longer and said to Lian'er beside her: "Zhou Ruo is really dead? This news can't be false, right?"

Lian'er said calmly, "The news that Aunt Qiuyue personally passed on is not false at all."

Lin Qingqing was silent for a moment, then sighed: "This is too sudden."

Zhou Ruo was acting arrogantly in front of her a few days ago, but he was gone in the blink of an eye. This made Lin Qingqing somewhat uncomfortable.

Lian Er sighed and reminded Lin Qingqing: "She is not only guilty of treason, but most importantly, she tried to touch Empress Chen."

Lin Qingqing squinted at her and said, "Of the two, isn't treason more serious? The report against her only charges this one crime."

Lian'er sighed and patiently explained: "That Tuoba Xuan is under house arrest by His Majesty. No news can be spread and nothing can be done. Zhou Ruo contacted him just for a painting. This matter can be big or small, it all depends on how His Majesty handles it."

"But it was this painting that caused the Empress Chen to be forced by the ministers to marry far away. This was a violation of your Majesty's will and is something your Majesty cannot tolerate. It was also because of this that Zhou Ruo could not save her life even though Lord Zhou tried to protect her."

Lin Qingqing seemed to understand: "Is it that serious?"
