Mo Chengning's words also stunned the minister who was accusing Mo Chengning for a moment. Then he turned around and saw that it was Lin Jiuqing, and frowned suddenly.

Lin Jiuqing didn't even look at the minister, he walked straight to Mo Chengning, reached out and touched Mo Chengning's little face, and said softly: "Don't be angry."

Mo Chengning didn't feel too aggrieved at first, but after hearing what his mother said, Mo Chengning instantly felt aggrieved, and the corners of his eyes turned red uncontrollably.

No matter how capable he is, he is just a child of a few years old and should still be at the age where he can act coquettishly in his mother's arms.

However, in front of Lin Jiuqing, he still acted like a man and said to Lin Jiuqing: "It's okay, I can handle it, don't worry. Go back first, don't stay here, lest the old man target you."

Lin Jiuqing smiled and touched Mo Chengning's head, and said gently: "I'm not afraid of him scolding me."

She reached out and held Mo Chengning's hand, pulled Mo Chengning to sit on the chair, and said softly: "Although your father is gone, you still have your mother."

Mo Chengning looked at Lin Jiuqing steadily, feeling an indescribable excitement in his heart.

He did not grow up with his mother and was not favored by her. Although his mother returned to the palace, she only spent more time with him. There was nothing special about her. But at this moment, he felt the power of his mother. Although she was not as majestic and tall as his father, she was like an indestructible mountain, firmly blocking him.

After Lin Jiuqing asked Mo Chengning to sit down, he turned and looked at the minister who was scolding Mo Chengning.

That person was also staring at Lin Jiuqing. When their eyes met, the other person couldn't help but frowned and lectured: "What kind of place is Yinghua Palace? How can a girl from the harem like you come and go as you please?"

Lin Jiuqing's expression remained unchanged, and his tone was gentle: "Sir, do you understand the hierarchy?"

The man was stunned by what Lin Jiuqing said, and was about to say something, but Yingyue beside Lin Jiuqing said sternly: "How dare you! The one standing in front of you is the concubine personally appointed by His Majesty, who was recorded in the Jade Disc and entered the ancestral temple. Don't you want to deny it?"

Yingyue is not an ordinary palace maid. She was personally selected by Mo Xiao and placed specially to serve Lin Jiuqing.

Her scolding blocked the old man's words. His face turned pale and blue. After a while, he slowly knelt down and uttered, "Old minister, I greet the Empress Chen."

Lin Jiuqing nodded slightly but did not ask him to get up.

The old man waited for a long time but Lin Jiuqing didn't say anything. He raised his head and looked at Lin Jiuqing, his brows furrowed so much that they seemed to pinch a mosquito to death.

When Lin Jiuqing saw him looking up, he spoke slowly, "It's not been a day or two since your Majesty allowed me to enter Yinghua Palace at will. Everyone in the court knows about it, and I'm sure you know it too."

The old man didn't know what Lin Jiuqing meant by this, and nodded hesitantly: "Yes, I know something."

"Since I knew this long ago and you have an opinion, why didn't you mention it when His Majesty was here? Now that His Majesty is gone, you criticize me so harshly. Are you specifically bullying me, a woman in the harem who has no one to rely on?"

The old man's face trembled, and he subconsciously retorted: "I didn't mean that."

Lin Jiuqing: "Then why didn't you mention it when your majesty was here?"

"I, I didn't think of it at that time..."

"You suddenly remembered it now? What a coincidence." Lin Jiuqing's tone remained calm.
