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

In the Queen Mother's Palace.

When Lin Jiuqing entered the room, the empress dowager was half leaning on a chair drinking tea. When she saw her come in, there was no expression on her face. She just raised her head slightly to glance at her, then continued to drink tea with her head down.

Lin Jiuqing pursed his lips, walked slowly to the center of the room, and then knelt down upright.

The Queen Mother paused while drinking her tea, but did not ask her to stand up. Instead, she slowly finished the cup of tea and put it down, then looked at the person kneeling below.

"Why are you kneeling? You are weak. If anything goes wrong with me, the emperor will probably turn against me, his mother." The empress dowager said indifferently.

Lin Jiuqing was silent for a moment, then said softly: "My mother and Your Majesty are mother and son, and are the closest people in the world. How could he turn against my mother? Your mother's words really embarrass me."

The Queen Mother raised the corners of her lips, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

Lin Jiuqing took a deep breath, kowtowed, and said word by word: "My actions today have soiled my mother's territory. I beg your forgiveness."

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes: "Is it just that my territory is dirty?"

Lin Jiuqing said nothing.

The Queen Mother's voice became colder: "Who gave you the courage to kill someone while chatting and laughing?"

"The emperor dotes on you and gave you the command of the imperial guards without my knowledge. Not only that, he even gave you the secret guards. Is it because of this that you have ambition and feel confident enough to act so recklessly?"

Facing the Queen Mother's questioning, Lin Jiuqing slowly raised his head and said calmly: "I absolutely did not mean that. The Queen Mother misunderstood."

"Everything I did was just to protect my own child. The Queen Mother is also a mother and has children too. She will definitely understand my heart."

The Queen Mother's eyes moved and she didn't speak for a long time.

Lin Jiuqing lowered his eyes and said softly, "I have a bad fate. I am lucky to have grown up. Later, I didn't know people well and took the wrong path. Fortunately, I was able to turn back in time and start my life again."

"But my child has been caught up in rumors because of the misfortune of my first half of life. I feel deeply guilty. If I had been more sober at the beginning, all this would not have happened. People outside say that his mother is unknown, and some even say that his origin is unknown and he may not be of royal blood... This is all caused by me. It is because of me, a shameful mother, that he has been criticized."

"Whether it's the Royal Guards or the Secret Guards, your majesty wants me to protect myself, but I have never thought of abusing them. However, for my child, I can do anything."

"I must kill these rumors in the cradle, and from now on, people in the world will no longer dare to discuss the prince's origin. Today, even if my mother hates me for this, I will still continue to do it."

After Lin Jiuqing finished speaking, he lowered his head and waited in silence for the Queen Mother's words.

The Queen Mother stared at her for a long time, and finally said slowly: "You and your mother are very similar."

Lin Jiuqing was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized that the mother the empress dowager was referring to was her real biological mother, the general's wife whom the late emperor had always missed.

The current Queen Mother is an old acquaintance of her parents, which is why the Queen Mother can still tolerate her even though she has been in the palace for so long and has monopolized the emperor's favor.

This was also the first time that the Queen Mother mentioned her biological mother in front of her.

Lin Jiuqing pursed his lips, and there was finally a hint of emotion on his face.
