The Queen Mother said to Lin Jiuqing, "You are not feeling well to begin with. Stop kneeling and stand up to talk."

Lin Jiuqing was silent for a moment and slowly stood up.

The Queen Mother stared at her face carefully for a moment, then said, "This look is similar."

No wonder the late emperor treated her well as soon as he saw her, without doubting that she was not his daughter. Because, based on this face, it didn't matter whether she was the daughter of that person or not. It was enough to have a face that was very similar to that person.

The Queen Mother sighed and said softly, "In the beginning, your mother endured humiliation and devoted herself to the late emperor in order to protect you. She also bore the stigma of being unfaithful and unclean for her entire life, all in order to make the late emperor mistake your origins so that you could survive."

Lin Jiuqing's eyes were slightly red, he lowered his head and said nothing.

She already knew how much her mother, whom she had never met, loved her. This love did not disappear with her mother's disappearance, but permeated her entire life as time passed.

The Queen Mother continued, "You would rather bear the crime of being a demon concubine than not protect your child..."

This mother and daughter are really similar.

The Queen Mother thought that it was inappropriate for Lin Jiuqing to kill two clan members in the blink of an eye. She thought that Lin Jiuqing was too violent and relied on the power in her hands to be too arrogant.

But as Lin Jiuqing said, she is also a mother. She can understand a mother's determination to protect her children and understand how far a mother can go to protect her children.

The Queen Mother had no doubt that if there were still clan members who were dissatisfied and caused trouble, Lin Jiuqing would not mind killing them all.

The Queen Mother looked at Lin Jiuqing and asked, "Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this?"

Lin Jiuqing said in a deep voice: "No matter what the consequences are, I will bear them."

The Queen Mother nodded: "Even if you bear a lifetime of infamy, or even leave a mark in history books, so that people in later generations will point at you and call you a 'witch concubine'?"

Lin Jiuqing smiled and said, "I just want to live a good life, not the afterlife. Besides, a hundred years later, I will have returned to dust. No matter how people curse me, I will not know."

She only hopes that her son will be safe and live a good life, and that is enough.

For her, even this life is a gift from God, and she no longer dares to ask for the next life.

Seeing her like this, the Queen Mother said nothing more and waved her hand: "If that's the case, then you can go down."

Lin Jiuqing bowed to the Queen Mother and said softly: "It was my fault for what happened today. I disturbed your peace. Don't worry, this will never happen again. I will handle it well."

After Lin Jiuqing finished speaking, he retreated respectfully.

As soon as she left, the old maid next to the empress dowager couldn't help but say: "I can't believe that this Empress Chen is so gentle, but she doesn't even blink when killing people."

The Queen Mother sneered and said coldly: "No matter how docile she is, she will become violent when protecting her cubs. What's more, she has suffered a lot. She is not one of those rich girls who grew up in the boudoir and has not suffered the hardships of society. It is understandable that she is a little ruthless."

When the old maid heard this, she also nodded and said, "The Queen Mother is right."

The Queen Mother leaned back and shook her head, "It's a pity that this child was delayed. With her character, if the Lin family was still there... the position of Queen would belong to her."
