Mo Xiao's words were so powerful that the empress dowager was stunned on the spot.

There was no precedent, so he set this one!

The Queen Mother looked at Mo Xiao standing there, and at this moment she deeply realized that this was no longer the babbling child crawling on her lap, nor was he the once carefree and playful Ninth Prince, but an emperor who stood tall and proud!

He took over the shattered country from the previous emperor, and then repaired and pieced it together in the shortest possible time, defending the country from external harassment and maintaining domestic stability, making the country prosperous again.

He is a tyrant that everyone fears, and he only wants to show his gentleness to one person.

The Queen Mother rubbed her brows, and after a long while she sighed and said slowly: "You are old enough and can make your own decisions."

"Do whatever you want to do. I won't stop you, but you have to bear the consequences yourself. I can't help you!"

Mo Xiao's eyes lit up for a moment, then he became serious and knelt down upright.

"Thank you, mother!"

His mother has always been a good mother.

The Queen Mother waved her hand and asked Mo Xiao to go out.

Mo Xiao didn't say anything else, turned around and walked out.

As soon as Mo Xiao left, the nanny beside the Queen Mother was filled with worry: "Queen Mother, are you really not going to care? Your Majesty's move is too shocking. If the news gets out, it will surely shock the whole government."

The Queen Mother sighed: "It's not that I don't care, it's that I can't."

She whispered, "You've also watched him grow up, don't you understand him? He's been smart since he was young, but he's not interested in many things. But on the other hand, no one can stop him from doing something he's determined to do."

The old nanny was silent for a moment, and finally sighed helplessly: "Your Majesty is completely focused on Concubine Chen..."

After a pause, he couldn't help but say, "In this matter, Concubine Chen also lost her sense of proportion."

As the princess consort, she should take the initiative to share the worries of His Majesty, and should persuade him to balance the harem and allow His Majesty to have children. But Lin Jiuqing did not do any of these, and even did the opposite.

The Queen Mother looked at her and said: "If the Emperor hears what you said, do you think he will forgive you?"

Old grandma: "..."

The Queen Mother was silent for a moment before she said, "That girl is actually a sensible one and has never done anything naughty. It's just that...she suffered too much in the first half of her life, and the Emperor felt sorry for her. I guess this is God's compensation for her, allowing her to be with the Emperor."

"Don't mention this matter again, just let them be."

The old nanny didn't dare to say anything else and just focused on serving the empress dowager.

After Mo Xiao left the Queen Mother's Palace, he immediately instructed the people around him: "Send someone to keep an eye on the Queen Mother. From now on, spread less news from outside here, so as not to disturb the Queen Mother's closeness."

"Also, keep an eye on everyone in the palace and don't let them run around."

The people below knew what was going on and immediately said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty."

After Mo Xiao gave his instructions, he turned around and went to Lan Yin Palace.

As soon as he arrived at Lan Yin Palace, he heard the news that Lin Jiuqing was ill. Mo Xiao's face changed immediately and his steps became much quicker.

However, when he arrived at the door, he found it was closed and Yingyue was sitting at the door guarding it.

"What's going on?" Mo Xiao asked in a deep voice.

Yingyue was startled and immediately knelt down: "The queen drank the calming soup and is now sleeping soundly."

"I'm not asking you this," Mo Xiao said in a deep voice, "Is she seriously ill?"

Yingyue reacted and said quickly: "The queen is not sick, those rumors are just my own."
