The Queen Mother glanced at Mo Cheng'an who was standing at Lin Jiuqing's feet, frowned slightly, then looked at Lin Jiuqing and said calmly: "You go in and wait for me first."

Lin Jiuqing paused, said nothing, and walked into the house respectfully.

After Lin Jiuqing left, the Queen Mother reached out and pulled Mo Cheng'an to her side, took the candy from his hand, and said with a smile: "It's not good for children to eat too much candy. The Queen Mother will give you something better another day."

Mo Cheng'an was stunned, looking at the candy that the Queen Mother took away with some reluctance, and called out timidly: "Grandmother..."

The Queen Mother paused, then smiled and said, "An An, don't you even listen to the words of the Royal Grandmother?"

Mo Cheng'an quickly shook his head. He knew that the Empress Dowager loved him the most.

"Be good!" The Queen Mother touched Mo Cheng'an's head and called the wet nurse to take Mo Cheng'an away.

As soon as Mo Cheng'an left, the Queen Mother handed the candy in her hand to the nanny beside her, signaling her to deal with it.

Lin Qingqing saw all this and hesitated to speak.

The Queen Mother looked at her and asked, "Do you think I'm too suspicious?"

Lin Qingqing pursed her lips and spoke in a weak voice: "Mother, Concubine Chen...is not that kind of person."

She used to have a bad relationship with Concubine Chen, and they even had a fight. But as she interacted with Concubine Chen more, she gradually understood that Concubine Chen was not a bad person. She was very principled and had her own set of rules for doing things and being a person.

It was Lin Jiuqing who helped Mo Cheng'an to be able to sit by her side today.

No matter what, Lin Qingqing didn't believe that Lin Jiuqing was someone who could lay hands on a child.

The Queen Mother glanced at her and said calmly, "If there is no conflict of interest, she is naturally not that kind of person."

Lin Qingqing looked a little confused: "What does mother mean by this?"

The Queen Mother sighed and whispered, "The prince is close to her, don't you understand?"

Lin Qingqing has been favored since childhood and does things a little arrogantly, but she is not completely brainless. After all, she grew up in an official family and was influenced by her family. When she heard the Queen Mother's words, she almost instantly reacted to the meaning behind the Queen Mother's words.

The Crown Prince is close to Lin Jiuqing, and the Second Prince is also growing up little by little. In the past, Mo Cheng'an was under Zhou Ruo's lap, so naturally he could not cause any trouble, but now it is different. Her Lin family plays an important role in the court. With such a grandfather, it is not impossible for the Second Prince to compete for that position.

If the Second Prince wanted to compete for the throne, it would be obvious whose side the Concubine Chen, who was close to the Crown Prince, would stand on.

Lin Qingqing looked a little flustered, but she still said subconsciously: "She, she is not the kind of person who would attack a child."

The Queen Mother was silent for a moment, then sighed and said to Lin Qingqing: "Your temper... Forget it, just think of it as me being too suspicious."

The Queen Mother waved her hand and said to Lin Qingqing, "Take An An back with you. You need to pay more attention to this child."

Lin Qingqing was upset by the Queen Mother's words. She left in a low voice without saying anything more.

The Queen Mother then returned to her room to meet Lin Jiuqing who had been waiting for a long time.

Without the Queen Mother's words, Lin Jiuqing had been standing there. When he saw the Queen Mother come in, he quickly reached out to help her sit down in the main seat, then he stepped back a few steps and stood still again.

The Queen Mother looked at her and pointed to the seat next to her: "Let's talk while sitting down. You are weak, so don't stand."

Lin Jiuqing said softly: "Thank you for your consideration, mother."

She was pregnant now, so she didn't try to be stubborn and just walked over and sat down.
