As soon as Mo Chengning arrived at Lanyin Palace, he rushed directly to Lin Jiuqing, looked her up and down, and asked nervously: "Mother, are you okay?"

He was so busy handling government affairs in Yinghua Palace that he was exhausted all day long. It was not until the old man, the Minister of Revenue, came to Yinghua Palace and told him what happened in the Empress Dowager's Palace that Mo Chengning realized what had happened. He could not wait even a quarter of an hour and rushed to Lanyin Palace.

He was afraid that his mother would be bullied by those who took advantage of their age and seniority.

He was afraid that the Empress Dowager would stand on the side of the royal family and refuse to protect his mother, causing his mother to suffer injustice.

If something really happened to his mother at the Queen Mother's place, Mo Chengning would definitely be the first to quit. He had even thought about it on the way here. If those people really bullied his mother, he wouldn't have to be a Ninja Turtle anymore, and he wouldn't have to have a good reputation. At most, he would be a tyrant like his father, and he would never let those old men go.

Besides, even if he could let them go, these people would definitely die when his father came back.

Lin Jiuqing was frightened by the anger in Mo Chengning's eyes. He quickly hugged the little guy and patted him on the back, saying softly, "It's okay, I'm fine. Ningning, don't worry."

Mo Chengning's eyes were a little red. He came out of Lin Jiuqing's arms and looked up at Lin Jiuqing: "Mother, you don't have to hide it from me. Tell me everything. I can protect you. I really can protect you."

"My father also said before he left that when he is not around, I will be the head of the family, the only man in the family, and the responsibility of protecting mother will be given to me. Mother, please believe me, I can protect you just like father did."

Lin Jiuqing was filled with mixed emotions. He reached out and touched Mo Chengning's little face, and said softly, "My Ningning has grown up and can protect her mother."

"Of course I believe you. You are the head of our family now, the only man, and my support. But, I am really fine. I am not injured or bullied. I am fine. Ningning, please don't worry, okay?"

Mo Chengning looked Lin Jiuqing up and down carefully and found that apart from looking a little tired, there was really nothing abnormal about her. He felt relieved a little.

"It's good that you're alright," Mo Chengning muttered in a low voice, "otherwise, I don't know what I would have done."

Lin Jiuqing's eyes moved and he asked, "What did you just say?"

Mo Chengning's expression suddenly changed. He looked at Lin Jiuqing innocently and said, "I just said, I'm glad you're okay. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to my father."

Lin Jiuqing looked at him for a few seconds, then smiled and reached out to touch his head, pretending that he really didn't hear anything just now.

Seeing that she was tired, Mo Chengning pulled her to sit on a chair and told Yingyue to call the imperial physician.

He held Lin Jiuqing's hand and said with gritted teeth, "Those old guys are taking advantage of their age. Wait until the border issue is over and I have time to spare. I will deal with them."

Lin Jiuqing: "...After all, he is a member of the royal family, so he should not be too ruthless."

"They are just a bunch of parasites," Mo Chengning said with a cold look in his eyes. "You don't know that their monthly expenses are enough to cover the annual expenses of the soldiers at the border. And they, relying on the protection of their ancestors, live a life of wealth and glory, but they are always looking for trouble."

"If we don't take care of these parasites, the country will be defeated by them sooner or later."
