Lin Qingqing stood at the door and said sternly: "You, the Imperial Guards, have long been Lin Jiuqing's lackeys. She wants to use you to frame me with a false charge and dispose of me without any clear reason. It's absolutely impossible!"

"Let His Majesty come down, I want to see His Majesty!"

The leader of the Royal Guards frowned tightly, looking unhappy.

When His Majesty is not in the palace, Concubine Chen can indeed call upon the Imperial Guards, but this does not mean that the Imperial Guards are Concubine Chen's lackeys. This is clearly a privilege granted to Concubine Chen by His Majesty.

He looked up at Lin Qingqing and said in a deep voice, "We are under the order of His Majesty, not anyone else. Concubine Xian had better think twice before speaking."

Lin Qingqing: "I don't want to listen to your nonsense, I want to see His Majesty!"

Seeing her like this, the Imperial Guards decided not to argue with her anymore, let alone really attack Lin Qingqing.

Although she was not favored by His Majesty, she had Minister Lin standing behind her. Minister Lin had made great contributions, and His Majesty was relying on him. Moreover, the Queen Mother also valued this Imperial Concubine very much.

The Royal Guard thought about it, waved his hand and called the person next to him, asking him to go back and give a message to His Majesty.

Lin Qingqing had been standing there holding her breath, and now she was relieved to see that the imperial guards had finally compromised. Only then did she realize that her back was completely wet with cold sweat.

In fact, she was not sure that she could see His Majesty just now. She was just a weakling and was just holding on.

She calmed down a little and asked someone to bring a chair over. She sat upright in the middle of the yard. She wanted to wait for the emperor here.

The imperial guard looked at her and said nothing, but ordered the eunuchs and palace maids to be taken away first. In less than half an hour, the entire palace was empty. Only Lin Qingqing was left sitting in the palace, and the rest were all imperial guards wearing cold armor.

After about an hour, Lin Qingqing's face turned pale from the cold. Finally, the sound of footsteps could be heard outside, followed by the eunuch's voice: "Your Majesty has arrived!"

Lin Qingqing perked up, and then stared straight at the gate.

The next moment, Mo Xiao, dressed in bright yellow, strode in.

The imperial guards retreated with their heads lowered, while Lin Qingqing stood up and took two steps forward. When she saw Mo Xiao, tears started to flow before she could even open her mouth.

"Your Majesty," Lin Qingqing's eyes were red and her voice was choked with sobs, "Your Majesty, you won't do this to me, right?"

She pointed at the imperial guards beside her and said softly, "Your Majesty, you didn't send them, did you? Is it that Lin Jiuqing is hiding this from you and deliberately targeting me?"

Mo Xiao had no expression at first, but when he heard Lin Qingqing mention Lin Jiuqing's name, his face immediately darkened, and he said grimly: "If you keep bringing others up casually, don't blame me for being heartless."

Lin Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then realized what Mo Xiao was talking about. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Mo Xiao say, "The Imperial Guards were sent by me. Why don't you accept it?"

With just one sentence, all the words that Lin Qingqing was about to say were blocked.

All her luck collapsed at this moment.

Yes, why would Lin Jiuqing waste his time on her? She always looked like aloof and indifferent to the world.

These aggressive imperial guards were not caused by Lin Jiuqing, but by His Majesty.
