Logically, Lu An should have made way for Qiuyue immediately, but he just stood there without moving at all.

He looked at Qiuyue and asked softly, "Young lady...are you someone close to His Majesty?"

Qiuyue felt offended and said in a colder tone: "This is not something the general should be concerned about."

Lu An smiled and said, "I just want to know if the girl is the one your Majesty is sleeping with... If she is really a lady in the palace, then I can give orders to the people below to serve the girl carefully and not neglect her."

"This is a military camp, not a palace. The men here are all rough and uncouth. If you don't explain clearly, I'm afraid they will be bold enough to offend you."

The words sounded nice, as if they were for Qiuyue's own good, but Qiuyue clearly felt the threat in the man's tone.

Qiuyue was a little surprised. This Lu Zian was the young master of the Lu family. She had seen him from afar. At that time, the young master Lu was gentle, cheerful, and a rare young man.

But after not seeing him for so many years, he has changed a lot.

Qiuyue was silent for a long time, and finally looked straight at Lu An and said word by word: "I am not your Majesty's bedside man. General, please don't say such things again in the future, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to your Majesty."

"I was sent by the Concubine Chen herself to take care of Your Majesty. There is no need for the young general to be so hostile to me."

When Lu An heard his words, his face instantly darkened.

Empress Chenfei is Lin Jiuqing. Was this person sent by Lin Jiuqing himself?

Also, from her words, she seemed to know her identity and the relationship between her and Lin Jiuqing.

Lu An looked at her deeply, his eyes dark, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Qiuyue was very smart and knew what Lu An was thinking immediately. She said calmly, "I have been serving His Majesty for a long time and have seen the young general from afar."

Lu An: “…”

He got it.

This palace maid was considered an old hand around Mo Xiao, and she knew basically all the trivial things that had happened in the past.

Lu An took a step back to make way for Qiuyue, and said softly, "I'm sorry for offending you, young lady. Please don't blame me."

Qiuyue nodded and walked past him with the tea tray.

Lu An walked forward a few steps, then suddenly turned around, looked at Qiuyue's back for a while, and said, "Such a good opportunity, don't you want to grab it?"

Qiuyue paused, without looking back, and said coldly: "I don't understand what the young general said."

"At this moment, His Majesty is the only one with you," Lu An said slowly, "Isn't this the best opportunity for you to take action?"

Qiuyue took a deep breath, turned to look at Lu An behind her, and said word by word: "The Empress asked me to come here, so I know my mission here. I know what to do and what not to do. I don't need the young general to remind me of this."

Lu An was silent for a moment, then nodded, said nothing more, and left with the bag.

Qiuyue stood there for a long time holding the tea tray before she got up and went into the tent.

When he entered the room, Mo Xiao was still sitting at the table. Seeing Qiu Yue, he glanced at her and said calmly, "Did that boy give you a hard time?"

Qiuyue paused, then said softly, "It's not difficult."

Mo Xiao sneered: "He is helping his sister to protect me. He has a conscience and cares for his sister."
