His eyes once again fell on the jewels she had picked up on the bed, and Tuoba Jin laughed out loud as he got angry.

He likes these a lot.

If it’s not enough, he will go and grab more.

Stroking the little girl's soft hair, he felt a little annoyed at his previous attitude. Maybe she had forgotten it. Why was he so stupid to mention Chang Hui's name?

Thinking of Chang Hui, Tuoba Jin combed the little girl's hair and smiled proudly again.

The person is his, and he wants to commit suicide with the girl. Let alone a door, he will block even the slightest gap.

What innocence? Being persecuted? If Chang Bei had any guts, why couldn't he protect his wife? In the final analysis, he was just greedy for power.

We also have to thank Chang Hui for being cowardly, otherwise the girl would not have fallen into his hands.

After making a plum blossom imprint in front of Xiao Linglang, Tuoba Jin felt relieved. He then asked someone to go to the dungeon to announce the good news to someone, and then packed up and sent him back to Nanliang.

The criminal who murdered Princess Guangning, how could he not feel guilty and, to give face to the Southern Liang royal family, kindly helped them catch the real culprit.

As for the little girl in his arms, he asked him to think about how to punish her once her condition stabilized.

At least.

She will never be able to leave this abandoned palace for the rest of her life.

In the early morning, candles were burning silently in the hall. Tuoba Jin locked her up with the chain he had taken off last night before turning around and leaving.

When the sun was high in the sky, the hall became slightly brighter and the people inside the gauze curtain slowly opened their eyes.

Xiao Linglang was stunned for a moment. The person who was there before was gone. She sat up by holding the bedpost.

Her stomach growled and she licked her lips. She did not get out of bed naked as she did yesterday when she woke up. This time she wrapped herself in a blanket and moved down from under the bed little by little. She crawled three steps, rested for a while, and then slowly moved to the place where she found food yesterday.

The fruit she had eaten yesterday was eaten back today. When she raised her arm to pick it up, her hand was scratched by something. She reached out and picked it up.

I opened the lunch box and found something to eat, then I went to court.

She read it out word by word.

"I am going to court."

He looked up and thought slowly.

solitary?

How could she know about these black crickets? She frowned and took a bite. It had no taste and was sticky to her tongue. Xiao Linglang threw the thing away in disgust.

She continued to hold on to the stool and tried to pick up the fruit on the table, but there was a box in front of her blocking her way, and it became even more difficult to pick up the fruit if she moved.

"thump!"

The fruit plate fell into the nearby water channel, splashing water.

Frightened Xiao Linglang shrank into the quilt and dared not move for a long time.

Qinghan was making a new toy for Zhao. After hearing a short scream, the needle in her hand stopped moving.

She slowly turned her head to look in the direction of the sound. She was not hallucinating, was she? There was a scream.

Qinghan hurriedly put down the doll and stood up and ran towards the inner hall.

When she saw the beauty lying on the carpet beside the canal, her eyes couldn't help but become red.

Sniffing, he walked over lightly.

"Madam, what are you looking at?"

A gentle female voice suddenly sounded above her head, startling Xiao Linglang. She turned back in panic, with a sense of alert in her head.

"I am guilty and have frightened Your Majesty." Qinghan knelt down hurriedly, her tone still gentle, her eyes always on Xiao Linglang.

Xiao Linglang was already looking at her warily, secretly observing her every move, her toes already curled up in fear.

"My lady, you're awake, why didn't you call for help?"

"What are you looking at, madam?"

Qinghan asked several questions, but Xiao Linglang kept her mouth shut. When she stopped, she waited patiently for Xiao Linglang's instructions.

But she saw the other person come closer, touch her clothes cautiously, then quickly and slowly move away, tilt his head to look at his wrist, and shake the chain.

"I don't. I, do."

After a long time, Xiao Linglang pointed at Qinghan's clothes, then raised her hand and shook the chain on her hand, her eyes full of confusion.

Her mind was blank now, and everything depended on instinct and subconsciousness.

Qinghan was also puzzled as to why the Empress' reaction was so strange, as if she didn't understand anything.

Suddenly, there was a gurgling sound. Xiao Linglang did not feel embarrassed, but turned around and continued to look at the canal, swallowing her saliva.

The fruit was right in front of her, but the water was too deep for her to reach. She could only look at the fruit to satisfy her hunger.

Qinghan stood up and saw the fruit fallen into the ditch. She instantly understood what Xiao Linglang had just done.

She looked up at the food box on the table and suddenly realized why the Wolf Lord had told her to pay more attention to the movements in the inner hall today, and if the queen woke up, to talk to her in Southern Liang dialect.

The food box is right on the table. Why doesn’t the queen open it if she’s hungry? Is it not to her liking?

"My queen, let's get up. The canal is quite deep, so we can just fall in. If you don't like the food in the food box, I will ask them to send another one, okay?"

Seeing her coming over, Xiao Linglang immediately waved her hand to refuse. Looking at the fruit so close, she said hastily, "I'm hungry."

"I know, I know. Your Majesty, don't worry. They will be here soon." Qinghan held Xiao Linglang's arm, wanting her to stand up first. However, after trying several times, he finally had to lean on her to stand up, and his steps were also unfamiliar.

Her throat was dry, and she asked softly with a choked voice, "How did the queen get here from there?"

She was afraid that Xiao Linglang didn't understand, so she pointed to the bed and then to where they were.

"This way..." A word flashed through Xiao Linglang's mind, and she replied blankly: "Climb."

Qinghan understood why the Empress did not use the meal on the table. It was because she could not open it. In her opinion, the Empress might not know where the meal was. When she saw the book and paper thrown aside with a corner bitten, Qinghan was even more certain of her thoughts.

She picked up Xiao Linglang and put her back on the jade couch. She covered her with a fur quilt, folded the chain wrapped with the talisman paper, and turned around to get the food box.

It's good enough that she can wake up now. She turned her head and wiped the tears from her eyes.

Later, Qinghan waited until Xiao Linglang fell asleep, then got up and returned to Qiuyue Palace, where she knelt before Tuoba Jin and pleaded guilty.

After Tuoba Jin heard what she said, he felt a strange aura lingering around him.

"You said Yue'er is like a newborn, she doesn't know anything and doesn't understand anything, is that right?"

"Yes."

Qinghan choked up and replied.

Tuoba Jin did not show any sadness. His eyes were dark and unclear, and there was a weird smile on his face.

This time, the childhood sweetheart will also be him.

"I know. Don't tell anyone else. I'm afraid it will affect her health. From now on, you stay there and take care of her. I have other arrangements for Zhao Zhao."

"Yes." Qinghan nodded, and thinking of the little princess, she raised her head, "Lord Wolf, princess and queen?"

"Don't mention it in front of Zhao Zhao, she will irritate Yue Er." Tuoba Jin tapped his fingers, his eyes deep, and warned earnestly.

He curled his lips in a cool voice, knowing that no one could disturb his time with Yue'er.

"Yes."
