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

Mo Xiao was concerned about her safety, and Lin Jiuqing knew this better than anyone else.

Yingyue nodded. She also felt that it was not appropriate for Lin Jiuqing to meet Tuoba Xuan at this time. If someone with ulterior motives caught him and made a big fuss about it, he might be charged with treason like Zhou Ruo, and he would not be able to explain himself even if he had a mouth full of mouths.

In particular, Tuoba Xuan had a painting in his hand that was almost exactly the same as Lin Jiuqing's.

Yingyue asked: "What about the people outside?"

Lin Jiuqing: "Don't worry about it, just let him wait."

Yingyue frowned: "Do you want me to ask someone to drive him away?"

Lin Jiuqing said casually: "Why bother? He can't do anything anyway. Since he likes to wait, let him wait."

Yingyue stared at Lin Jiuqing for a long time, causing Lin Jiuqing to look up in confusion: "Huh?"

"Nothing." Yingyue retracted her gaze and lowered her head to organize the things on the table.

She just suddenly realized that her queen was actually... quite naughty.

Lin Jiuqing didn't realize this at all. She lowered her head and concentrated on fiddling with the needle and thread in her hand. She was making a small piece of clothing for the second prince.

She herself did not realize that under Mo Xiao's all-round protection and pampering, she gradually took off her strong shell and revealed her true self.

She has learned to act like an ordinary girl, able to talk, laugh, be naughty, and even a little willful.

She is no longer the same as before. Although she is only a teenager, she is as mature as an old lady. She dares not make any mistakes in her words or actions, and she does things based on the pros and cons rather than her own heart.

After living two lives, nourished by happiness, she grew up instead, becoming more and more childish and free-spirited.

Lin Jiuqing herself did not notice these small changes, but the people who served her could feel them.

For example, Yingyue just now felt this clearly.

Here, the master and servant were together discussing how to make small clothes for the Second Prince, while the people waiting outside were looking forward to it with their necks almost broken.

The little palace maid took his gold leaf, but never came back, and there was no news from her. He was extremely angry, but the Lanyin Palace was a den of tigers and wolves, so he didn't dare to enter without permission. He could only stare at the direction of the Lanyin Palace from afar.

He waited from day till late at night. His hair was wet by the dew and his body was covered with bites from mosquitoes in the woods. He stood there scratching constantly, and was almost going crazy from the torture.

Finally, when it was midnight, he saw the emperor's guard of honor coming from afar. The man's face darkened, he glanced at the gate of Lan Yin Palace unwillingly, then turned and left.

Now that the emperor is back, there is no way that Concubine Chen can leave Lanyin Palace.

What's more, if he continued to stay here and was discovered by the emperor's men, he would die without knowing how.

The man left quietly, thinking that no one would notice his whereabouts, but he didn't know that his actions had already been seen by others.

Mo Xiao retracted his gaze, walked inside, and asked calmly, "How long has that person been here?"

"It's been a while since I last tried to find a way to see the Empress Chen Fei. Today, I met Miss Yingyue, talked to her, and gave her a gold leaf."

Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows: "Did Yingyue take it?"

"I took it," the secret guard whispered, "I'll give it to the Concubine Chen when I get back. She said she'll use the money to buy candy for the little prince."
