The Queen Mother had no objections to Lu Jiuqing, and even felt sorry for this girl, who had suffered too much.

However, people's hearts are biased. She feels sorry for Lu Jiuqing and will still favor her son without hesitation when it comes to her son's safety.

"It has nothing to do with her?" The Queen Mother glared at Mo Xiao with red eyes, "You were assassinated and such a big thing was kept completely hidden. If you say it has nothing to do with her, do you think I believe it?"

Mo Xiao wanted to argue with the Queen Mother again, but Lu Jiuqing reached out to hold him back.

Lu Jiuqing took a step forward, knelt upright in front of the Queen Mother, and said softly: "Your Majesty was injured this time, and it was indeed because of me. I was being chased, and Your Majesty came to save me, and then I was stabbed. It was also because of me. My past experiences have made my identity unmentionable, forcing His Majesty to deal with this matter privately and not to make it public."

"It's all because of me, please punish me, Queen Mother."

Mo Xiao's expression turned cold the moment Lu Jiuqing knelt down. After hearing what she said, his expression became even darker.

Before the Queen Mother spoke, Mo Xiao reached out to pull Lu Jiuqing: "Get up, you are not in good health, why are you kneeling?"

Lu Jiuqing didn't move and winked at Mo Xiao, but Mo Xiao didn't accept it at all, and his tone was a bit harsh: "Do you want me to kneel with you?"

As he spoke, he really wanted to bend down and kneel down.

Lu Jiuqing was startled, stood up quickly, and supported Mo Xiao: "You are still injured, don't move!"

Mo Xiao glanced at her, stretched out his hand to pull the person behind him, and faced the Queen Mother.

"She was hunted down because of me," Mo Xiao said in a deep voice, "If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have been hunted down, so I was just repaying my own debt by saving her. She doesn't owe me anything. It was me who caused her trouble."

"Mother, I know you feel sorry for me, but..." Mo Xiao took a deep breath and lowered his voice a little, "I feel sorry for her even more."

Lu Jiuqing stood behind Mo Xiao, looking up at the tall figure in front of him, his eyes slowly turning red.

The Queen Mother looked at Lu Jiuqing, and finally her eyes fell on Mo Xiao, saying word by word: "Mo Xiao, do you still remember that you are the emperor?"

Mo Xiao's body trembled, and the hands hanging by his sides clenched tightly.

The Queen Mother slowly shook her head, with some disappointment in her tone: "If you were an idle prince and acted like this, I wouldn't say a word. But you are the emperor and you have a huge responsibility on your shoulders. Even if you love another woman, , and shouldn’t put himself in danger for her.”

"Mo Xiao, you love her more than all the people in the world. This is not what an emperor should do."

After the Queen Mother said this, she turned around and walked out.

When he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped and looked back at Mo Xiao: "No matter how big of a mistake Concubine Shun made, you should not have treated her like this when she was pregnant. If this matter spreads out, what do you want others to say? You? Your reputation as a tyrant is not enough, and now you plan to go even further and imprison your pregnant concubine for some trivial matter?"

After saying this this time, she flicked her sleeves and really left.

There was silence in Yinghua Hall.

Lu Jiuqing glanced at Mo Xiao, who was standing silently, and felt sour in his heart.

She gave this man a hard time.

She had known in her heart that he was not an ordinary person, he was an emperor, with responsibilities on his shoulders, and the people of the world in his heart. It was impossible for her to be just a little girl, let alone to be responsible for her alone.
