Seeing Lin Qingqing being so cruel, the maid raised her face with despair, opened her mouth, and spoke tremblingly, hoping to get some sympathy from Lin Qingqing: "Your Majesty, there is really no one who ordered me to do this. I just know that you are sincere to His Majesty, so I reported the news to you. I have no second thoughts about you!"

"No second thoughts?" Lin Qingqing sneered and said slowly, "There are so many people in my palace, how come others don't know the news outside the palace, but you, a little palace maid, know it? My father didn't tell me a word about such a big thing, but you came to me and talked nonsense. How dare you say that you have no second thoughts about me?"

"If you tell me the truth and tell me who is behind you, maybe I can spare your life."

The maid's face turned pale. She opened her mouth, but before she could say anything in defense, she was interrupted by Lin Qingqing: "Okay, I don't want to waste so much time with you, you don't have to say anything more."

Before the maid could react, Lin Qingqing had already stepped back and said coldly, "Come here, drag her away and beat her to death!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the maid's eyes went dark and she collapsed to the ground without being able to kneel.

"My queen, I am innocent. Please forgive me..."

Lin Qingqing waved her hand, a bit of impatience on her face.

The people serving her here all knew her temper, so they didn't dare to delay any longer and quickly covered the person's mouth and dragged him away.

At first, the palace maid's screams could still be heard, but after half an hour, the sound gradually weakened until it became completely quiet.

After a while, the young eunuch came in from outside, lowered his head and said softly: "Madam, the person is gone."

Lin Qingqing drank her tea without blinking, and said calmly: "Drag him out and hang him on the palace wall for everyone to see. This is the fate of those who dare to plot against me."

After a pause, he gritted his teeth and added: "Let the people behind her see that I, Lin Qingqing, am not so easy to bully."

The eunuch shuddered, dared not say a word, and went downstairs to do it immediately.

Lian'er stood aside, pursed her lips, and said softly: "Your Majesty... if you hang someone outside the palace wall, if the Second Prince sees it, he will probably be scared."

Lin Qingqing said calmly: "Then don't let An'er see it."

Lian'er: "..."

"My Queen Mother was still talking about An'er yesterday, saying that she missed him, so let's send him to live with her for a few days. I think An'er must be missing his Royal Grandmother, too."

Lian'er lowered her head and said, "Yes, I will arrange it right away."

After Lian'er left, Lin Qingqing slowly put down the teacup in her hand, with a somewhat cold expression on her face.

She was not stupid, she understood what the person who asked the palace maid to deliver the message wanted to do.

The other party just wants to use his own hand to make the matter of His Majesty's disappearance a big deal and add fuel to the fire. Once the former court and the harem respond, the world will be in chaos.

Your Majesty is far away at the border and can't come back for a while. The prince is young and his foundation is unstable.

Once the court is in chaos, the consequences can be imagined.

Even though she knew everything, Lin Qingqing still felt that Lin Jiuqing was heartless.

His Majesty had deep feelings for her, but she was too calm, so calm that it seemed as if the person who disappeared was not His Majesty, but a person who had nothing to do with her.

The reason why Lin Qingqing was so angry and had such a big conflict with Lin Jiuqing was ultimately because it was not worth it for His Majesty.

At the same time, I am also unwilling to accept it.

It is obvious that my feelings for Your Majesty are deeper and stronger, but Your Majesty cannot see it.
