This person had a very close personal relationship with the deceased relative and they interacted most with each other on a daily basis.

He was also the leader of this incident, and it was he who was clamoring to find Lin Jiuqing for an explanation.

Now seeing that everyone was silent, he glared at them and said sternly, "Don't be frightened by her sweet words!"

"We have been blessed by the Emperor for generations. We question the origins of the eldest son because we don't want people with ulterior motives to confuse us and mess up our royal bloodline. Although your Majesty is wise and powerful, he is still young and may be deceived. We are doing this for your Majesty's sake. How can we disobey your order?"

"Empress Chen, just scare them, don't try to scare me."

Lin Jiuqing narrowed his eyes and fixed his gaze on the leader.

She was very concerned about what this person had just said.

What do you mean by messing up the royal bloodline? This is just short of saying that Mo Chengning is not Mo Xiao's son.

If word of this got out and became a big deal, even if Mo Xiao went against the crowd and let Mo Chengning take that position, the doubts about Mo Chengning's background would follow him like a shadow, and he would never be able to get rid of it for the rest of his life.

Lin Jiuqing would never allow such a thing.

Lin Jiuqing stared at the man and said slowly: "It seems that you didn't understand what I said just now."

"The eldest prince is the eldest prince personally recognized by His Majesty. The crown prince is the crown prince personally appointed by His Majesty. Anyone who dares to question this is showing contempt and disrespect for His Majesty, smearing the entire royal family, and defying His Majesty's orders!"

"I can see clearly from your clamor today that you are the same as the man who died."

Lin Jiuqing suddenly raised his head and shouted, "Come here, drag this disobedient man away and behead him immediately!"

The old man was stunned, then sneered and shouted, "What do you think this place is? This is the Queen Mother's Palace, not your Lan Yin Palace. You can't be so arrogant!"

He knew that Lin Jiuqing could mobilize part of the Imperial Guards, but he thought that Lin Jiuqing could only mobilize the people outside the Yinghua Palace, which was a favor specially given by His Majesty.

But as soon as he finished speaking, a group of people suddenly rushed out from the roofs and corners of the walls in all directions, rushed forward and pressed the old man to the ground.

The old man was startled, his eyes widened instantly, and he shouted loudly: "Who are you? Let me go!"

Those people dragged him downstairs without blinking an eye.

He finally got scared and stared at Lin Jiuqing: "You evil concubine, how dare you kill innocent people? And, you dare to raise assassins in the palace?"

He thought that these people who suddenly appeared were secretly raised by Lin Jiuqing.

Lin Jiuqing glanced at him calmly, and then said, "You disobeyed the imperial order and brought shame to the royal family. You deserve to die. How can you be innocent? Besides, these people are not my loyal soldiers."

This is the secret guard that Mo Xiao left for her. At any time, as long as she gives an order, he will obey her orders.

The man stared with his eyes wide open and tried to open his mouth to shout again, but the secret guard covered his mouth with his hands and quickly dragged him away.

The eyes of the remaining people trembled, and they were all trembling with fear, not daring to look up.

Lin Jiuqing didn't say anything either, just waited in silence.

About half a quarter of an hour later, a secret guard came forward to report: "Madam, the person has been dealt with."

Lin Jiuqing nodded: "Clean up the scene and don't dirty the Queen Mother's place."

"Yes, we have dealt with it all, your Majesty, don't worry." The secret guard whispered.
