Lin Jiuqing felt a little tired. At this hour, she should have been asleep, but now she was forced to get up and face this man's questioning.

She raised her hand and rubbed her brow, and said to Lin Qingqing: "Your Majesty is doing well at the border, and there is nothing wrong. Those who spread rumors should be killed."

When he said the last word, Lin Jiuqing's tone had completely turned cold, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Lin Qingqing was no longer gentle.

"As a concubine, you should not come out to cause trouble at a time like this," Lin Jiuqing said slowly, "If you really want the best for His Majesty, then stay quietly in the harem, be a good concubine, and educate your Second Prince well. That way you will be helping him."

Lin Qingqing found these words particularly harsh.

She stood up suddenly and looked down at Lin Jiuqing: "I am the imperial concubine, how dare you speak to me like that? Even if you want to teach me a lesson, it's not your turn!"

"Your Majesty is not here, and there is also the Queen Mother. When will it be your turn to speak in this palace?"

She took a deep breath and gritted her teeth, "You said that His Majesty is fine at the border, so what is going on outside?"

Lin Jiuqing did not change his expression even after being scolded by her, but his expression became much calmer: "The Queen Mother is the one who makes the decisions in this palace, and it is not my turn as a concubine to speak. However, if anyone comes out to cause trouble for His Majesty at this special time, I will definitely not allow it."

"As for those rumors outside, the Crown Prince will deal with them. It is better for us in the harem not to interfere in the affairs of the previous dynasty."

Lin Jiuqing shut Lin Qingqing up with a few words, leaving Lin Qingqing with a rage that she had been holding back with nowhere to vent.

"You, you... you are such a heartless person!" Lin Qingqing's eyes were red as she said loudly, "His Majesty loves you so much, but you are so cold and heartless."

"In the past, I was very tolerant of you for His Majesty's sake. Now it seems that you are not worthy of His Majesty's kindness to you. You are even more ungrateful and do not deserve my kindness."

"Someone, take her away. I want to personally watch her and teach her the rules."

She suddenly attacked, making everyone stunned for a moment, but after a moment, the people in Lanyin Palace reacted. The palace maids and eunuchs rushed forward to protect Lin Jiuqing in the middle, and the secret guards hiding in various corners suddenly appeared and surrounded Lin Jiuqing.

"Who dares to touch the queen?"

The leader of the secret guards stood in the front, looking coldly at the stunned Lin Qingqing and the others, and said word by word: "No one is allowed to act wildly in Lan Yin Palace. Concubine Xian, please don't embarrass me."

Lin Qingqing's face turned pale and blue, and she couldn't help but take a step back. For a moment, she felt it was difficult to breathe.

These people...she had more or less guessed their identities.

It is unbelievable precisely because I guessed it.

Mo Xiao actually left so many secret guards to Lin Jiuqing. That would have been fine, he even made Lan Yin Palace a place that no one could invade. In Lan Yin Palace, no one could do anything to Lin Jiuqing.

Lin Qingqing had already backed out in her heart, but she couldn't bear it, so she yelled fiercely: "How dare you!"

The leader of the secret guards narrowed his eyes and said in a moderate voice, "My Lady Consort Xian, the last person who wanted to teach Consort Chen the rules is still in the cold palace."

And that person's title was also the virtuous concubine.
