The next day, Xiao Ling climbed out of bed with a bitter face, and Tuoba Jin went to court very early.

She woke up and wanted to take a nap after he left. As luck would have it, as soon as she lay down, a warm current flowed out.

She instantly stood up, puffing her cheeks, thinking it was his, until she got up and caught a glimpse of the red stain on the bed.

She stopped muttering to him in her heart, held her forehead, and her cheeks turned red instantly. How could she have such a mess in her mind now?

With flushed cheeks, she quickly found a palace maid to clean up the mess, then stayed in bed until the sky turned pale in the east.

"I am here to serve you, Madam."

The veil was pulled aside to reveal a pretty little face. The man raised his brows and smiled frivolously, saying in a low voice, "I didn't expect you to be so quick. He is so obedient."

Xiao Linglang bit her fingertips and blinked. That night, she watched him go out and come back soon. She knew that Qinghan had told him, but there was no splash the next day.

She thought he had rewarded her with money and was racking his brains to think of other ways.

"Don't you suspect me? Why did you bring me here so quickly?" Xing Qiu looked curious.

"If you lie to me, I will at most suffer a little, but you will lose your life." Xiao Linglang stood up.

"Have you found that damn jade pendant?" Xing Qiu asked in a low voice while helping her get off the bed.

Xiao Linglang looked at the empty room, her eyes narrowed, and she said softly, "No, why are you the only one here?"

"I don't dare to do anything at this time. The person who asked me to come here originally asked me to pack my things, but she seemed worried that I might not pack them neatly enough, so she asked me to come and wait for you."

Xiao Linglang felt relieved, glanced at her and breathed a sigh of relief.

"There are many spies in the palace, you have to be careful."

"I'm not a fool. I won't leave even if you want to. I don't want to lose my life here. So for now, I'll just stay put." Xing Qiu sneered.

Xiao Linglang's mouth twitched slightly, she took a breath, sat down in front of the dressing table, picked up the comb and combed her hair in front of her, "What do you mean by them packing up?"

"I don't know, have you offended him?" Xing Qiu was holding various gold and jade hairpins, with golden light in her eyes. "Take all of these with you when you leave. They are all valuable things, enough for us to eat in the village for a long time." She touched the jewelry and muttered in her heart.

"Of course not." Xiao Linglang was very disgusted when others asked her this. When he was unhappy, she would guess that it was all her fault. The fact was that group of ministers made him angry, and she could only suffer with them.

"You're still angry." Xing Qiu raised her eyebrows, put down the things in her hands, shrugged her shoulders, and raised Xiao Linglang's chin like a female hooligan, with a mean expression, "Then I don't know."

"You!" Xiao Linglang puffed her cheeks and bit her lips, rolled her eyes at her, and held back her anger. She was still counting on her to take her away! She couldn't be angry!

"Don't comb your hair yourself, let me do it. You have to act the whole thing." Xing Qiu dragged his voice and slowly took the comb from Xiao Linglang's hand. Seeing that she was still puffing up her face, he chuckled and raised his hand to poke her.

Xiao Linglang was neither sure whether to be angry nor not angry. In the end, she simply put her hands in front of her and closed her eyes.

"How did you get away with it?" Xiao Linglang spoke again after Bi Xi had tied her hair up.

"Get away with it? I'm half Mobei person after all. I've lived in Mobei for a few years. Naturally they won't be able to find out anything." Xing Qiu clapped his hands in satisfaction. He walked around twice to admire his handiwork and smacked his lips. He was a good-looking person and he looked pitiful no matter how he acted.

"Half Mobei people?"

"Yeah, my father is a merchant in Mobei." Xing Qiu didn't want to mention this person, so she just brushed it off casually. She rummaged through her bosom, tore open a small cloth bag, and took out a packet of medicine from it. "Contraceptive medicine, keep it safe. If we're discovered, we'll both be screwed."

Xiao Linglang took it and looked at her.

"It's even harder to leave after you have a child." Xing Qiu explained. On the other hand, if she was pregnant and Lord Chang became disloyal after she returned, what would happen to her other brothers in prison?

"Ah."

Xiao Linglang fluttered her eyelashes, nodded gently, and turned to hide the medicine, but after turning around, she stuffed the medicine to Bixi again, "No, you can't leave this medicine here with me, he will definitely find it."

Xing Qiu frowned.

"Just give me one pill a day." Xiao Linglang said softly, biting her lip. He knew the things in her room better than she did. It was impossible to hide such things from his eyes.

"alright."

Xing Qiu thought of Tuoba Jin's suspicious nature, and it might not be safe for her to hide.

She put the medicine bottle back, glanced at Xiao Linglang, and muttered to herself.

Xiao Linglang knew that it was definitely not something nice, so she glared at her and turned to walk out.

Qinghan was indeed watching people packing up their things. Xiao Linglang frowned and walked over.

"What is this for?"

"Why is the Queen so angry? Did she bother you?" Qinghan bowed and asked.

"No, what are you doing?" Xiao Linglang saw them moving things and the confusion in her eyes disappeared.

"The Wolf Lord wants to lead the army himself, and the Queen wants to follow him, so he told us to pack our luggage." Qinghan lowered her head and replied, then gave Bixi, who had just arrived, a look, "The Queen has woken up, so we don't need you here. You and Shanzhi should go and pack clothes for the Queen. If you don't understand, she will teach you."

Xing Qiu nodded, bowed respectfully to Xiao Linglang, and left behind Shan Zhi.

Xiao Linglang's mind went blank for a moment, and she stammered, "He's going to lead the army... and he wants to take... me with him."

"The queen is in the royal court. The Wolf Lord is worried that others will not take good care of her. He can't leave her alone when he is away, so it is better to keep the queen by his side."

"But he is leading the army himself, how can he take me with him!" Xiao Linglang pinched her hands, feeling panicked.

After swallowing a few deep breaths, she wanted to find Tuoba Jin.

Qinghan held Xiao Linglang, stared at her, shook her head slightly, and said word by word: "My queen, it is a great blessing for the Wolf Lord to take you with him."

Xiao Linglang's body trembled slightly. She didn't want this gift. She didn't want anything he gave her.

"Your Majesty, don't be afraid. If you provoke the Mobei Iron Cavalry, they will be ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth."

"Qinghan...I..."

"Your Majesty, no one can shake the Wolf Lord's orders." Qinghan lowered her head and said respectfully.

Xiao Linglang pinched her palms and forced a smile, "It is my honor that the Wolf Lord can take me with him, but I have not been exposed to these things for a while."

"I understand, Your Majesty." Qinghan smiled, gently stroked Xiao Linglang's back, and led her to the soft couch beside her.

"In the royal court, as long as you follow the Wolf Lord, your life will not be bad. You have lived in the inner courtyard for a long time, so you will naturally be afraid when you first hear about this scene. But if you are timid and refuse to follow the Wolf Lord, your Majesty..." Qinghan shook her head slightly, "The Wolf Lord has a grudge, which is not good for you, and the future princes and princesses. Think about it."

Xiao Linglang lowered her eyes. As Qinghan spoke, she nodded in response, "Where is the Wolf Lord going?"

"Jie Hu, that guy has repeatedly provoked us. The Wolf Lord gave them the opportunity, but they actually came to rob and kill our cattle and sheep. Those are what the people rely on for survival. How can the Wolf Lord tolerate this?"

"Qinghan, I'm a little worried. I just had my period. Will it be bad luck and affect the soldiers?" Xiao Linglang raised her eyelids.

"How could your Majesty think so? How can the victory or defeat of a war be blamed on a woman? Isn't that absurd?" Qinghan just found it funny and comforted Xiao Linglang.
