When Xiao Linglang took a nap, she felt thirsty and drank some tea. The sleepiness that she had finally gathered disappeared. When she tilted her head and yawned, she caught a glimpse of Qinghan who looked a little absent-minded out of the corner of her eye.

She stretched her waist and walked to Qinghan in two light steps. "Why do you look absent-minded? Are you in a bad mood?"

Qinghan, immersed in her own thoughts, turned her head naively, her eyelashes fluttering, she looked at the bed, and then at Xiao Linglang in front of her.

"When did the queen wake up?"

“Hahahaha…” Xiao Linglang covered her mouth and laughed. She sat down on the stool in front of her, propped up the chair, swung on her toes, and said jokingly, “Of course, when you don’t know.”

Qinghan was embarrassed and looked at her helplessly.

Xiao Linglang shrugged, "What's wrong with you? I've never seen you like this before." She frowned, leaned forward, and asked in a low voice, "Did he punish you for giving you the hairpin?"

After saying that, Xiao Linglang clapped her hands in regret, "Why is he like this? He let me deal with it myself one foot, and then he punished you. Let's go and find Ning Yun later and ask him to get the money."

"My Lady." Qinghan smiled and pulled Xiao Linglang back, "The Wolf Lord didn't punish us. Was it me who was thinking about something and was lost in thought?"

Xiao Linglang was a little unconvinced, "Really? Don't lie to me. I hate people lying the most."

"No, I will not lie to you, Your Majesty." Qinghan pushed Xiao Linglang back to the chair and made her another glass of water.

"Can I ask something? It sounds like this is bothering you."

Qinghan thought for a moment and sighed sadly, "My queen, I wonder if people will change. I have lived a good life with you, but I am worried that one day I will become greedy."

"That day hasn't come yet, has it? Don't think too much. Since you're worried, it means you're struggling. I believe you won't."

Xiao Linglang picked up a piece of snack and handed it to Qinghan's hand, thinking in her heart, Qinghan shouldn't be talking about herself, who is she talking about?

She patted Qinghan, spread her hands, and pulled her closer, "Why are you like Zenxin in my house? I often give her things, and I haven't seen her change. Besides, I don't have anything. What can you be greedy for?"

Qinghan's lips moved for a moment, and finally she sighed in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, you will be the head of the harem, don't trust others easily. If others no longer feel threatened, Your Majesty will be in danger."

"I don't trust others easily. I trust you. The Wolf Lord arranged you to be by my side, so of course I trust you." Xiao Linglang stood up and pulled her up as well. "Don't tell me that you have someone you like, and you're thinking about something unnecessary."

Qinghan blushed, "My lady, I am talking about serious matters."

"Okay, okay, don't think about it. Your pretty face has been dulled by the sadness." Xiao Linglang had some guesses in her mind.

What kind of conflict did these two people have afterwards? She glanced at Qinghan's expression and suppressed her curiosity.

He ordered Qinghan: "Go get me some hot water first... and bring some flower petals. It's still early, I'll wash up and wait for the Wolf Lord."

"Here."

After Qinghan left, Xiao Linglang walked back and forth in the hall. What if Qinghan was talking about Shanzhi? What had Shanzhi changed? What did she want to be greedy for?

After thinking for a while, she went to sit in the tea room. Now she had no clue about the jade pendant. If Tuoba Jin had taken it, at least he would not put it where she could go. The warehouse needed to be investigated, and the Qinzheng Palace also needed to be investigated, but the supervision was strict and it was easy to arouse suspicion. He had never taken her to the bedroom.

Xiao Linglang bit her lip. If she brought Bi Xi here, even if she was fake, it would still be disadvantageous to her.

I was tired of thinking, so I just lay down on the table. Qinghan came over with a wash basin and asked, "Why is your Highness in the tea room?"

"The afternoon sunshine here is nice, and it makes people feel warm." Xiao Linglang put her hand into the warm water covered with flower petals, and gently moved the small fish, cattle and sheep at the bottom of the basin. "If I want to ask the wolf master for help, will the wolf master agree?"

Qinghan wet a handkerchief and handed it to Xiao Linglang to apply on her face. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Who does the queen want? I can't guess what the wolf master is thinking."

She lowered her head and dripped two drops of the nectar extracted by the imperial physician onto another soaked towel, leaving it for later replacement. "But since your majesty has mentioned it, the Wolf Lord will definitely think about it. If your status is suitable, he will naturally agree to your majesty's request."

"It's not appropriate to determine her identity. She comes from someone else's family. I think she's smart and we like each other. But now that you mention this, I'm just being impulsive." Xiao Linglang scratched her nose awkwardly and changed the handkerchief on her face.

"From someone else's house?" Qinghan stopped what she was doing, a little curious. The queen brought Shanzhi with her yesterday. "Is it General Luntu?"

Xiao Linglang nodded, then pulled her guiltily and asked her to speak in a low voice so as not to be seen by others. It would be so embarrassing if Tuoba Jin heard it.

Qinghan smiled, covered her mouth obediently and asked in a low voice: "Madam, can you talk to me?"

Xiao Linglang blushed and felt a little shy. She murmured, "It's all my wishful thinking. Why don't we ask the Wolf Lord to reward her with some money?"

"Did she solve any problems for the Empress?" Qinghan continued to ask.

Xiao Linglang tilted her head and looked out the window, "Yeah."

"That's something that should be rewarded."

"I wanted to bring her here one day and treat her well. I was a little rash." He twisted his fingers and shrugged. "Yesterday at the banquet, I took Shanzhi out. When I was waiting for Shanzhi, I encountered a very fierce bird. She blocked it for me. But that night was someone's wedding day. If I told the Wolf Lord, he would definitely get angry and ruin their wedding."

"Is the queen okay?" Qinghan nervously put her arm around Xiao Linglang's.

"Of course not, she was blocked by that girl." Xiao Linglang reassured her, holding her chin with her hand and said sadly: "I heard her groan, and later I will tell the Wolf Lord about giving her a reward and treating her injuries. She also begged me not to tell the Wolf Lord, for fear of delaying their young master's wedding."

"I'm glad that Her Majesty is okay. It is indeed her blessing to be able to save Her Majesty." Qinghan took note of it in her heart.

Xiao Linglang's eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked up at Qinghan, "Can you leave the royal court?"

"Slave needs instructions."

"Okay." Xiao Linglang's eyes dimmed.

She took off the towel on her face, changed it with a new one and washed it again, picked up the ointment Qinghan brought over, and rubbed it on her face, "I also thought that if you could go out and give her some money, it would also make me feel better. I pretended not to know, but there is always something on my mind."

Qinghan listened silently and wrote down everything she said.

During the daytime, Tuoba Jin finished dealing with matters concerning the expedition against the Jiehu. When he was about to leave for the Qiyue Palace, Ning Yun came over with a grin.

"Lord Wolf, the Queen is waiting for you in the side hall."

Tuoba Jin propped himself up with his arms and glanced at him.

Ning Yun immediately explained tactfully, "The Majesty has been here for a while, and I saw that the Majesty still needed to wait for a while, so I led the Majesty to the side hall to wait."

"Yes." Tuoba Jin stood up and waved his sleeves. "You did a good job. Let them increase your salary by half this month."

"Thank you, Lord Wolf, for your grace."

Upon hearing this, Ning Yun immediately kowtowed to express his gratitude, his eyes shining with gold.
