Facing the Queen Mother's questioning, Lin Jiuqing was silent for a moment, and then replied: "Queen Mother, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. I have no right to comment on any decision made by His Majesty."

The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "If someone else said this, I would believe it, but if you say this, I don't believe it."

"I won't tell you how the emperor treats you, but don't you know it in your heart?"

This time, Lin Jiuqing remained silent for a little longer.

After a long while, she slowly raised her head and looked at the Queen Mother, and said softly: "Mother, your son, don't you understand?"

When these words were spoken, the Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to come back to her senses.

She hesitated for a long time before saying to Lin Jiuqing, "Get up and answer."

Yingyue, who was standing next to him, almost immediately rushed out to help Lin Jiuqing up. She thought to herself that if the Queen Mother didn't wake him up, she would find a way to go to the front hall to find His Majesty.

Fortunately, fortunately the Queen Mother showed mercy.

Lin Jiuqing was helped to sit down on the chair beside him, and raised his head to look at the empress dowager.

Since Lin Jiuqing entered the palace, the Queen Mother rarely dealt with Lin Jiuqing.

She knew that her son was protecting Lin Jiuqing, and she didn't want to make her son embarrassed because of any unpleasantness between her and Lin Jiuqing.

After such a long time, she still talked to Lin Jiuqing alone, and it was also the first time that she made Lin Jiuqing kneel down with a sense of punishment.

Now, there was no resentment in Lin Jiuqing's eyes, which made the Queen Mother slightly satisfied.

She looked at Lin Jiuqing and said in a deep voice, "What's going on? Tell me."

Lin Jiuqing said: "Mother, when His Majesty was still a prince, was he really as unconcerned about politics as he appears to be, and was he a playboy who only cared about having fun?"

The Queen Mother moved her lips, then whispered, "When he was young, he was the most hardworking student in the school. Even the Grand Tutor praised him for his talent and hard work."

"Later, he grew up slowly and became sensible... Then one day, he suddenly became unwilling to study and became a world-famous playboy."

The Queen Mother smiled bitterly, "I know he is trying to avoid the Crown Prince's attention. He doesn't want to fight against his own people. He hid all his books and cut off all ties with the generals he once had on good terms with. He is now living a life of luxury."

The Queen Mother turned her head to look at Lin Jiuqing and said slowly: "Later, something happened to you."

Lin Jiuqing: "..."

She understood that Mo Xiao chose this path more or less because of her.

Lin Jiuqing closed his eyes, then looked up at the Queen Mother and said softly, "It seems that the Queen Mother also knows that Your Majesty has ideals and ambitions in his heart, and there are things he wants to do."

The Queen Mother was silent again, and finally sighed, then said softly: "I know...how could I not know."

In fact, Mo Xiao had come to tell her about this decision before he made it. However, no matter how much she objected, Mo Xiao still made this decision.

So, she felt angry and took it out on Lin Jiuqing.

She felt that Lin Jiuqing's mood should be the same as hers. They were on the same front, and Lin Jiuqing would persuade the emperor.

However, Lin Jiuqing did nothing and let Mo Xiao take the risk.

The Queen Mother looked at Lin Jiuqing: "Are you really not worried at all?"

Lin Jiuqing smiled bitterly: "How can I not worry?"

However, she still hoped that Mo Xiao would do what he wanted to do.
