Even though Lin Qingqing had stayed in front of the Buddha for a long time, she was still very angry about Lin Jiuqing's two words. The key was that she could only listen and could not do anything bad to her.

Lin Qingqing took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, "Be proud. I hope you can be proud to the end and not be replaced by a newcomer."

Lin Jiuqing smiled and said, "Thank you for your blessing."

Lin Qingqing: "..."

It feels like being punched on cotton.

Lin Qingqing no longer asked for trouble, because she realized that she was no match for Lin Qingqing in terms of talking nonsense.

Lin Qingqing turned around and said calmly: "Two things. The first one is to send me out of the palace."

Lin Jiuqing was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "If you open your mouth, it will cost you your head."

Anyone who dared to let the emperor's concubine leave the palace without permission would be beheaded no matter which dynasty it was.

Lin Qingqing looked at her: "Didn't you say that with His Majesty protecting you, who would dare to let you lose your head?"

"Even though your majesty loves me, he won't always agree to my orders. This is a very big matter."

"If it's a small matter, I can do it myself. Do I need to ask you for help?"

Lin Jiuqing: "...seems to make sense?"

Lin Qingqing stared at her: "Just tell me, can you do it?"

Lin Jiuqing drank a sip of tea slowly, and then slowly said: "I remember that you were reluctant to leave."

It's not like she hadn't hinted at this a long time ago.

Lin Qingqing was silent for a moment, and then said: "At that time, I didn't know how high the sky was and how deep the earth was. I felt too unwilling to give up. I always thought that I would get what I wanted."

"Are you willing now?"

"I'm not willing to accept it," Lin Qingqing said calmly, "but I'm clear-headed now. I know that the world doesn't revolve around me, and I can't get whatever I want. Also, I don't need to revolve around someone who doesn't have me in their heart, and abandon and even hurt those who have me in their heart and truly love me."

So, even if she was unwilling, she had to give up.

For someone more important.

Lin Jiuqing looked at her for a while and smiled: "It's rare that you can figure this out."

Lin Qingqing said stiffly: "I don't need your approval for anything I do."

Lin Jiuqing was helpless: "After all, I'm asking for help, can you be more polite?"

Lin Qingqing: "..."

Lin Jiuqing took a sip of tea, and then said: "This is a serious matter, you have to let me think about it."

"What's the second thing?"

Lin Qingqing turned her head to look at Mo Chengan who was not far away. Mo Chengan happened to look over here. The mother and son looked at each other. Lin Qingqing gave him a reassuring smile. Mo Chengan smiled and lowered his head to play with Mo Chengqing.

Lin Qingqing's smile faded a little, and then she said, "Compared to the first thing, this thing is much easier for you. I believe you are also happy to help me."

"After I leave, An An will be in your care," Lin Qingqing said in a much more sincere and gentle tone this time. "An An is a very good child. I hope you can protect him and promise me that no matter what happens, you will not hurt his life."

"Although I know you won't, I still want to say, please, don't take your anger out on him because of me. He is innocent."

Lin Qingqing looked at Lin Jiuqing seriously: "He and I are really different."

In this palace, besides Mo Xiao, whom she couldn't get, her only concern was Mo Cheng'an.
