The legitimate daughter is reborn and cannot escape after being provoked by the tyrant

How could Zhou Chen dare to say he was wronged? There were two secret guards standing beside him, and as long as he didn't nod, he didn't know where he would be imprisoned.

Zhou Chen looked at Lu Jiuqing as if he was meeting her for the first time.

After all, in his mind, Lu Jiuqing was still the unpopular concubine in the Zhongyong Hou Mansion. She had no redeeming features except a softer temper, and he didn't understand what His Majesty liked about her.

However, Lu Jiuqing, who was sitting high in the hall today, allowed Zhou Chen to see another side of her.

She is so calm and composed, so neither arrogant nor impetuous, and can deal with ministers and herself calmly. This is not something that ordinary women can do.

Zhou Chen finally lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I know what to do."

Lu Jiuqing nodded, and when he saw him turning to leave, he suddenly asked: "Master Zhou, how is your relationship with the Zhou family...?"

Zhou Chen was stunned: "Zhou family?"

Lu Jiuqing smiled: "Concubine Shun's natal family."

Zhou Chen's heart thumped, and he hesitated for a while before answering vaguely: "It's just... average."

After saying that, he looked at Lu Jiuqing's expression carefully, trying to see something from that face. However, no matter how hard he tried, the face did not change color at all, leaving him disappointed.

Lu Jiuqing just nodded indifferently: "I understand."

As Zhou Chen walked out, he thought about the meaning of Lu Jiuqing's last words. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Is it possible that Lu Jiuqing became jealous after knowing that Concubine Shun was favored and pregnant, and wanted to deal with Concubine Shun? According to the extent of His Majesty's love for her, she is just a compliant concubine. How can she survive? The child in Zhou Ruo's belly is even more innocent.

However, another voice told him that Lu Jiuqing was not such a petty person, and he would not take it out on his unborn child.

Zhou Chen shook his head, always feeling that this matter was unusual.

-

Lu Jiuqing stayed in front of Mo Xiao's bed all night until the sun rose the next day.

His eyes, which had not slept all night, were covered with red bloodshot eyes, and they were also a little blue and black.

She looked at Mo Xiao quietly, as if she wanted to wait until Mo Xiao opened his eyes so that he could see her first.

I don't know if Mo Xiao was infected by her persistence. When the sunlight poured into the room, he slowly opened his eyes.

Lu Jiuqing kept staring at Mo Xiao and discovered it the moment Mo Xiao opened his eyes.

She held Mo Xiao's hand tightly, moved forward, and said, "Are you awake? Does it hurt anywhere?"

Mo Xiao didn't say anything, he just looked at the people close at hand. After a while, he raised his hand and touched Lu Jiuqing's face. His fingers stayed on her eyes and did not move away for a long time.

"How long did it take?" Mo Xiao frowned and asked slowly.

Lu Jiuqing's eyes moved and he said casually: "Not long."

Then, he looked at Mo Xiao nervously: "Mr. Mu said that your abdominal injury was very serious and almost killed you... How do you feel? Is there anything wrong? I will ask Mr. Mu to come over now."

As Lu Jiuqing said this, he was about to get up and call Mr. Mu, but Mo Xiao grabbed his wrist.

Mo Xiao frowned: "You said, Mr. Mu told you that the stab wound on my abdomen almost killed me?"

Lu Jiuqing nodded with red eyes: "He said, if it's any closer, the intestines will be exposed."

As he said this, he felt frightened again, and his face turned pale.

Mo Xiao: "..."

Mo Xiao closed his eyes, opened his mouth, and the words that came to his lips turned into a weak sentence: "I'm fine, don't worry."
