Lin Jiuqing looked at Yingyue: "Who's outside?"

"It's the Concubine Xian," Yingyue stepped forward quickly and helped take the toy from Lin Jiuqing's hand and put it down, "I have asked her to go back."

Lin Jiuqing raised his eyebrows: "Why don't you let her in?"

Yingyue pursed her lips and whispered, "His Majesty has ordered that during special periods, the Queen is not allowed to meet with those messy people."

"The concubines in the harem are full of thoughts and there's no telling what nonsense they'll say. Your Majesty will inevitably be troubled by what she hears. It's better not to meet anyone and leave your ears alone."

Lin Jiuqing smiled, but he didn't blame Yingyue for stopping his guest after hearing what Mo Xiao said. He just said, "Look at the scene in Lanyin Palace. Who dares to talk nonsense in front of me? He is just worrying about nothing."

Yingyue smiled and said, "Your Majesty is also nervous about the Queen."

Lin Jiuqing smiled and shook his head: "How can I be so fragile? When the virtuous concubine comes again in the future, there is no need to stop her, just let her in."

Yingyue nodded: "Yes, I understand."

The emperor's words must be listened to, and the empress's words must be listened to even more. This is the principle that the people below them follow.

"By the way, the Concubine Xian asked me to tell her something," Yingyue glanced at the Second Prince in Lin Jiuqing's arms, "She said that if you are really unwell, she doesn't mind helping you and taking the Second Prince over to take care of him for a while."

Lin Jiuqing raised his eyebrows: "Did she say that?"

"Yes, these are the exact words of the Concubine Xian."

"She is worthy of being her," Lin Jiuqing said with a bit of a smile, "No matter what happens, she always holds her head high and never says a soft word."

This is the confidence that comes from being raised in a pampered environment. She doesn't need to ask for anything she wants. The people below her know what to do with just a glance. Even now, in this harem, she still can't change this and expresses her needs awkwardly.

Yingyue glanced at Lin Jiuqing's expression and asked carefully, "My queen, are you going to send the Second Prince away?"

Lin Jiuqing looked at the child in his arms, stretched out his finger and tapped the child's nose, then said with a smile, "Let's talk about it later."

Now the child is still young and everything is not stable yet, so let the child stay in Lanyin Palace for the time being. What's more, Mo Chengning also likes this child very much. Whenever he has time, he will come back to play with him. The child also shows unusual intimacy with Mo Chengning.

Yingyue did not mention the second prince again, but talked about something else.

"My queen, there has been a person hanging around outside our Lanyin Palace recently," Yingyue frowned and said unhappily, "From what I see, he seems to be someone close to Tuoba Xuan."

"I really don't know who gave him the courage to send people to the gate of our Lan Yin Palace after something like this happened."

If he had not been far away and was closer, the secret guards of Lan Yin Palace would have already taken action to eliminate the man.

Lin Jiuqing was silent for a moment, then said to Yingyue: "He should have something to say...you can find time to meet him tomorrow."

Yingyue was stunned: "My lady, why do you care about him? He has evil intentions and is not a good person."

Because of that painting, their queen was almost forced to go to the border.

Lin Jiuqing smiled and said, "Of course I know he is not a good person, but things have been turbulent recently, and I am afraid he might cause trouble for Your Majesty."

Yingyue also reacted after hearing this: "Yes, I will go to meet him tomorrow to see what he wants to do."
