Lin Jiuqing looked at the man and said with a smile: "I am not a person who cares about things, don't worry, sir."

The man looked a little embarrassed and lowered his head even more.

At this time, a minister standing in the front stepped forward and said in a somewhat stiff tone: "Even though the Empress Chen has the privilege of freely entering and leaving Yinghua Palace, she does not have the right to interfere in the government affairs of the previous dynasty."

Lin Jiuqing raised his eyebrows: "Why do you say that, sir?"

The man frowned: "Isn't it because of His Majesty's disappearance that the Empress Chen came here?"

Lin Jiuqing paused, then smiled and said calmly: "This is nonsense, why should I make a special trip here?"

The man stared at Lin Jiuqing and asked, "What does Empress Chen mean by this is that the story of His Majesty's disappearance is false?"

"The letter from His Majesty to me is still on my dressing table. What, my Lord, are you interested in seeing it?"

"…Since it is a family letter, I naturally have no right to read it." The man frowned and said in a deep voice, "But, if Your Majesty really has no accidents as you said, then why did you, Empress Chen, make this trip? Could it be that you really want to interfere in the affairs of the previous dynasty? You know, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics."

He just wanted to embarrass Lin Jiuqing.

Should he admit that His Majesty was missing, or should he admit that his harem was interfering in politics? Either way, Lin Jiuqing would be caught in a dispute.

Lin Jiuqing curled his lips and smiled: "Sir, you think things are too complicated. I am a woman, I have no interest in these national affairs, nor do I have the ability to interfere."

"I came here today just to show my sympathy for the adults' hard work and bring some food here."

Then he said to Yingyue, "Go and distribute the food I prepared to the adults."

The next moment, the servants who had been waiting nearby came in with food and distributed it to the officials in the hall one by one.

Lin Jiuqing said: "Your Majesty has gone to the border, and the Crown Prince is young. The court still has to rely on you adults to survive. You adults must not starve yourself."

Yingyue next to her continued, "Her Majesty learned that you have been here for most of the day and was worried that you might have lost your health, so she specially ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare this Tremella soup and send it to you. Her Majesty is so thoughtful, you must not let her down."

At this moment, everyone was holding a bowl of hot Tremella soup in their hands. After being hungry for a long time, they suddenly smelled the fragrance of food, and liquid was secreted uncontrollably in their mouths.

However, no one took the lead and everyone was a little embarrassed as they held the food but didn’t dare to eat it.

Lin Jiuqing smiled and looked at Zhou Chen beside him.

Zhou Chen paused, picked up the Tremella soup and took a bite, then his eyes lit up and he said in an exaggerated voice: "It smells so good, I haven't eaten such delicious Tremella soup before."

Minister Lin, who was standing next to him, glanced at him, took a bite, and then showed an expression of enjoyment.

At this point, the ministers below couldn't help themselves.

The minister who had questioned Lin Jiuqing before was also a little bit out of control at this moment. He was old and couldn't stand being hungry. After struggling for a while, he looked up at Lin Jiuqing and said righteously: "Don't think that you can do whatever you want by using such means to please us."

Lin Jiuqing opened his eyes wide and said innocently: "Who can I please with just a bowl of Tremella soup?"

The man frowned and said, "That's good to know."

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and took a big sip of Tremella soup.
