Mo Xiao returned to the palace, and as soon as he entered the gate of Yinghua Hall, the people waiting below all tensed up.

Because their Majesty's expression was wrong.

In the past, His Majesty's face was cold, but it was not so cold that his face was full of ice like it is now, and his eyes were so full of anger that it made people's scalp numb just by looking at him.

Mo Xiao sat on a chair, flipping through the book as usual, but he held the book in his hand for a long time, but none of the words could enter his mind.

He seemed to have lost some abilities. He was in a panic and didn't know what to do.

Mo Chengning, who was down below, had already processed several booklets. When he looked up, his father was still in the same posture as before, and the booklet in his hand was still the same one.

Mo Chengning frowned and shouted, "Father?"

Only then did Mo Xiao come back to his senses and looked up at Mo Chengning.

"What happened?" Mo Chengning asked in a deep voice.

Mo Xiao looked at Mo Chengning for a moment, and finally put down the book in his hand.

After pondering for a moment, he finally said: "Your mother knows about Concubine Shun."

As soon as these words came out, Mo Chengning's face became darker than before.

He was in the palace every day, and what Mo Xiao did could not be hidden from him. Therefore, he knew about Concubine Shun, including the child in Concubine Shun's belly.

Mo Chengning pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, "I advised you before."

He asked Mo Xiao to tell his mother about the matter, and the two of them would discuss what to do. But Mo Xiao was timid, fearing that Lu Jiuqing would not accept it, and fearing that the goodwill he had finally accumulated would be destroyed, so he simply went his own way and hid the matter. However, the fire could not be contained, and Lu Jiuqing still found out.

Mo Xiao raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, showing a rare vulnerability in front of his son, and said softly: "I don't know what to do."

Mo Chengning was silent for a moment and said to Mo Xiao, "We made an agreement when we returned to the palace. Father will not forget it, right?"

Mo Xiao was stunned and looked at Mo Chengning intently.

Mo Chengning said: "No matter what decision my mother makes, you cannot force her. This is what you promised me back then."

Mo Xiao stared at Mo Chengning and asked softly: "Don't you want to keep her?"

"I think so," Mo Chengning said calmly, "but I hope she can be happy even more."

Mo Xiao: "..."

He also hopes that Lu Jiuqing can be happy, but he simply cannot accept Lu Jiuqing leaving him.

"If I depose Concubine Shun now, is it still too late?" Mo Xiao murmured.

Mo Chengning glanced at him: "If that's the case, how are you going to explain it to the Imperial Grandmother? It's not worth it if things get to this point and give up halfway, and all the efforts are in vain."

"What's more, you clearly know that the problem between you and your mother is not that you are a shun concubine."

After Mo Chengning said this, he stopped looking at Mo Xiao, lowered his head and picked up the book to check it out.

He is just a child, and he also wants his parents to be happy, but there is not much he can do. He wanted both of them to be happy, but exactly how to do it was up to them.

Mo Xiao sat there, a little lost in thought.

Mo Chengning was right, the problem between him and Lu Jiuqing was not about being a shun concubine.

Lu Jiuqing has no sense of security and cannot completely trust him. And he has too many criminal records and bad records, and he really can't prove that he is trustworthy.

This is the real problem between them.

Mo Xiao has never felt so helpless. He doesn't know how to solve this trust problem.
