Lin Jiuqing's voice was gentle, without any hostility at all, but it made the old man look very unhappy.

After being silenced, the old man gritted his teeth and said, "I just think this is inappropriate."

Lin Jiuqing smiled, curled his lips slightly, and asked softly: "Your Majesty thinks it is appropriate, but you think it is not. Do you think you are wiser than Your Majesty? Or do you think Your Majesty is incompetent and has done something wrong?"

Both of these sentences are cruel enough that most people would not dare to say them.

Zhou Chen, who was standing next to him, fell to his knees with a thud. It was not intentional, but his legs were weak.

Zhou Chen was so scared, let alone the old man.

Mo Xiao's title of tyrant was not self-proclaimed, and he didn't dare to shit on Mo Xiao's head.

"I have absolutely no such intention!" the old man said loudly, "Your Majesty is by no means a foolish person, but a rare wise monarch. Your Majesty's words...are you trying to kill me?"

Lin Jiuqing said calmly: "So can I come to Yinghua Palace or not?"

The old man: "...Your Majesty personally gave it to you, so of course the Queen came."

"That's good," Lin Jiuqing's tone gradually became colder, "It's good that you admit it, otherwise I can't bear this name that is not legitimate."

The old man pursed his lips, vaguely guessing what Lin Jiuqing was here for today.

This woman is here to support the new prince.

Sure enough, the next moment, the concubine in front of him said, "I just heard from the adults that the Crown Prince's mother is unknown, so the position of the Crown Prince is not legitimate and he is not worthy of sitting in this Yinghua Palace?"

The old man hesitated for a moment, but still said: "This is the fact, the eldest prince..."

"How dare you!" Lin Jiuqing spoke harshly for the first time, saying in a cold voice, "How dare you disobey my order?"

Before the old man could come to his senses, he heard Lin Jiuqing continue, "Mo Chengning, it was His Majesty who personally appointed him the Crown Prince. He reported it to the ancestral temple and the whole world, and it was legitimate. But you keep calling him the eldest prince, which is clearly disobeying His Majesty's order."

Lin Jiuqing turned to look at Zhou Chen next to him and said coldly, "What is the crime for disobeying the order?"

Zhou Chen looked bewildered, and said subconsciously: "Of course it's a capital crime."

The next moment, Lin Jiuqing said in a stern voice: "Come here, drag this person who disobeyed the order away and execute him immediately to serve as a warning to others."

Zhou Chen finally reacted and his eyes widened for an instant, but he was too late to stop it.

Because in addition to Mo Xiao and Mo Chengning, there is another person who can command the people in Yinghua Palace, and that is Lin Jiuqing. At Lin Jiuqing's command, the guards guarding outside immediately rushed in and dragged the old man out.

The old man was also confused, and then he shouted loudly: "How dare you? I am a member of the royal family, and I have served for several dynasties. How can you kill me just like that? What's more, the matter of disobeying the order is completely false. How can you..."

"You disobeyed the order. Everyone in Yinghua Palace, including Lord Zhou, is a witness. What else do you have to quibble about?" Lin Jiuqing said coldly, "This person is really noisy. Cover his mouth."

The next moment, the old man had his mouth covered by someone's hand and was dragged out quickly.

After Zhou Chen waited for everyone to leave, he quickly stepped forward and said to Lin Jiuqing, "Madam, are you trying to scare him?"

Lin Jiuqing glanced at Zhou Chen and said calmly, "Should we scare him? Sir Zhou, if you go out and take a look, you will know."
