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

Lin Jiuqing retreated without leaving a trace, and ordered the little palace maid beside him: "I'm a little hungry suddenly. Go and ask the kitchen to prepare some cakes and send them to the courtyard."

The little palace maid didn't know why the queen suddenly became hungry, and she didn't dare to ask more questions, so she turned around and left.

Lin Jiuqing held Xiaobai in his arms, stroking it to calm its emotions, and said, "Did I hurt you just now? I didn't mean to do that. Who told you to be so naughty? Come on, let me help you check if you are hurt."

As she spoke, she turned and walked towards the yard, her steps getting faster and faster. But after she had taken a few steps, the door behind her suddenly opened, and a figure quickly rushed up from behind.

Lin Jiuqing felt a cool breeze behind him and was about to hide when Xiaobai in his arms immediately jumped out, followed by a miserable cat cry.

Lin Jiuqing's scalp suddenly went numb. He turned around and saw Xiaobai being slapped away and falling heavily to the ground. He was struggling to get up, staring at the person who suddenly appeared.

"You little beast that's in the way," the man said coldly, holding a sword in his hand, "I will kill you today."

Lin Jiuqing immediately stepped forward and said sternly, "Wait!"

The man paused, turned around and looked at Lin Jiuqing, his eyes narrowed.

Lin Jiuqing stared at the man in front of him, suppressed his frantic heartbeat, and said slowly: "Your Highness, why are you...dressed like this?"

The person in front of him was none other than Tuoba Xuan who had escaped.

However, now Tuoba Xuan was wearing the clothes of a palace maid, his hair was combed like a palace maid, and his face was delicately made up. He was handsome to begin with, and with this clothes and makeup, it was impossible to tell at first glance that he was a man. No wonder so many people couldn't find him.

But Lin Jiuqing didn't expect that he actually sneaked into Lan Yin Palace and hid in her room. If Xiaobai hadn't warned him just now, he would have become a hostage in Tuoba Xuan's hands as soon as he stepped into the room.

Lin Jiuqing looked at Tuoba Xuan: "If you have anything to say, you can tell me. Why bother a little animal that doesn't understand anything?"

Tuoba Xuan's sword was still pointing at Xiaobai on the ground. He tilted his head and looked at Lin Jiuqing, saying leisurely, "There is no other way. The threshold for the Empress Chen is too high. If I don't think of a way, I'm afraid I will never see the Empress Chen in this life. And this little beast ruined our friendly meeting. Do you think it should be killed?"

Lin Jiuqing: "Your Highness, you are too kind. If you want to see me, just let someone know and I will open the main door and welcome Your Highness in. This cat is not human, so don't bother with it."

Xiaobai fell quite hard and hasn't gotten up yet. This made Lin Jiuqing very worried, fearing that something might have happened to Xiaobai.

She took another step forward and said to Tuoba Xuan, "We can discuss this. How about letting me hand Xiaobai over to the imperial physician first?"

Tuoba Xuan narrowed his eyes at Lin Jiuqing and suddenly laughed: "I thought all my efforts would be wasted today, but I never thought that the Empress Chen would be so affectionate and loyal to a beast."

"Since your majesty is so reluctant to let go of this little beast, why don't you... exchange its life for his?" Tuoba Xuan said word by word, "As long as your majesty is willing, I will release this little beast immediately."

Lin Jiuqing pursed his lips and didn't move for a while.

Tuoba Xuan was already a little anxious: "Empress Chen, I don't have that much time to play with you."
