Lu Jiuqing forgot when he fell asleep, and when Mo Xiao left.

When she woke up, it was already the morning of the second day.

Lu Jiuqing looked at the sunlight coming in through the cracks in the window. He was in a daze for a moment and then suddenly sat up from the bed.

She raised her voice and shouted: "Yingyue, what time is it?"

Yingyue opened the door and came in, but did not enter the inner room. She just whispered through the screen: "Girl, it's already noon."

It's noon... Lu Jiuqing actually slept until noon.

She pursed her lips and rolled out of bed in a panic: "I haven't paid my respects to the Queen yet, I..."

"Girl, don't worry," Yingyue stood outside and said softly, "I have sent someone over to report that the girl is feeling a little unwell today. The Queen is considerate and does not need to pay her respects."

Lu Jiuqing: "..."

Lu Jiuqing hugged the quilt and sat down again.

Yingyue asked her softly: "Girl, do you want some water?"

Lu Jiuqing hummed, and then Yingyue came in with some gentle water.

After entering the door, Yingyue lowered her head the whole time, her eyes not wandering for a moment. After passing the warm water to Lu Jiuqing, she said softly: "Is there anything uncomfortable about the girl? If so, I will ask the imperial doctor to come here."

Lu Jiuqing didn't answer Yingyue's words. He stared at her for a while while holding the water glass, and then suddenly said: "Are you from the Ninth Prince?"

Otherwise, why would she be so considerate and allow herself to sleep in and take the initiative to find a perfect excuse for herself from the Queen's side.

Yingyue was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "This slave is now the one who serves the girl."

This was not a direct answer, but Lu Jiuqing understood the meaning behind it.

She didn't deny it anyway.

Lu Jiuqing murmured in his heart that Mo Xiao used to like to surround himself with people, and that hasn't changed now.

She held the water cup and drank warm water in small sips to moisten her throat. She said to Yingyue, "There is nothing wrong. There is no need to call a doctor."

Although Mo Xiao was indulgent yesterday, luckily he knew how to exercise restraint and not go too far. If he had followed his indifferent personality in his previous life, I would probably have a hard time getting up today.

He handed the warm water to Yingyue and asked softly: "Did the Queen say anything?"

Yingyue shook her head: "I just want the girl to have a good rest."

After a pause, he added in a low voice: "It just looks like he doesn't look good."

Lu Jiuqing: "..."

She pursed her lips and lowered her head. She didn't know what was going on, but she always felt that the Queen knew about Mo Xiao's mischief last night.

She felt a little guilty.

But...it's not her fault...

Lu Jiuqing raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, feeling that things were getting more and more complicated.

She stood up and asked Yingyue to prepare a set of tightly wrapped clothes for her, and put on a furry scarf to cover her neck completely.

Then she got up and went to the Queen's side.

She is now living in the Queen's Palace, and it would be very rude not to pay her respects to the Queen.

Although she knew that the queen didn't like her very much, she still wanted to do her best, at least to make the queen feel that she didn't understand etiquette.

When I went to the Queen's Palace, I happened to meet His Majesty who came to visit the Queen.

When the emperor saw her, he looked worried: "Didn't you say you didn't feel well? Why are you up?"

Lu Jiuqing: "I felt much better after a good sleep, so I thought about getting up and taking a walk. Thank you for your concern, your Majesty. My daughter is no longer seriously ill."
