Lin Qingqing stared at Mo Xiao steadily, she seemed to have completely broken apart at this moment.

She murmured, "Your Majesty, what did I do wrong to cause you to be so disgusted?"

She just wanted to think about her children. Wasn't that possible? She had already given up on competing for favor. Wasn't she even able to live a good life?

Mo Xiao looked at her with a somewhat indifferent expression.

"I just like you, is this an unforgivable sin?" Lin Qingqing asked again.

Mo Xiao finally answered her: "I don't need your love."

"There's nothing wrong with your liking, but the greed, anger, ignorance and jealousy that arise from your liking are wrong." Mo Xiao said word by word.

"Also, you don't need to worry that Lin Jiuqing will compete for your child because of his own child, which would be detrimental to your child." Mo Xiao lowered his voice so low that only the two of them could hear it. "If she really wants it, she doesn't need to fight for it. I will personally remove all obstacles and give her what she wants with both hands."

"So, now you understand where you went wrong?"

Lin Qingqing looked at Mo Xiao in disbelief. Her face was so pale that there was not even a trace of blood left. After a while, she managed to squeeze out a sentence: "But, but An'er is also your Majesty's own flesh and blood..."

Mo Xiao's eyes flashed. Mo Cheng'an was not his child at all, but this was a huge secret.

Mo Xiao looked at Lin Qingqing and just said, "That's different."

The light in Lin Qingqing's eyes completely disappeared. She seemed as if her soul had been taken away. She collapsed on the ground, unable to speak or even shed tears.

Mo Xiao stood up, took a step back, and looked down at Lin Qingqing.

Lin Qingqing took a deep breath, looked up at Mo Xiao, and said slowly: "It was me who colluded with the court officials and interfered in the government affairs. All of this was done on my own initiative. It has nothing to do with my father or the Lin family. Your Majesty, please do not implicate my father, let alone the Lin family."

"They...are all loyal to Your Majesty and have no second thoughts."

Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows, then said calmly: "I have never doubted the loyalty of Minister Lin, and I will not implicate the Lin family because of your affairs."

Lin Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief: "In that case, thank you very much, Your Majesty."

"I just don't know how your majesty plans to deal with me?"

Mo Xiao was about to speak when he heard a voice behind him: "The Queen Mother has arrived!"

Mo Xiao's eyes moved, and he turned around to see the Queen Mother walking in with the support of the Nanny.

Mo Xiao took two quick steps to greet him and said softly, "It's late at night and the dew is heavy. Mother should have a good rest in the palace."

The Queen Mother glanced at her and said, "How can I sleep after making such a big noise?"

Mo Xiao was silent for a moment, then he whispered, "It's my fault. I disturbed my mother's sleep."

The Queen Mother shook her head and turned to walk towards Lin Qingqing.

When Lin Qingqing saw the Queen Mother, her eyes began to turn red again and tears flowed uncontrollably.

In this deep palace, if there is anyone who is sincere to her, it is the Queen Mother in front of her.

No matter what the reason was, the Queen Mother's care for her was real since she first entered the palace.

The Queen Mother sighed and said softly, "Child, why are you so confused?"

Lin Qingqing couldn't hold it in any longer and she covered her face and burst into tears, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered in recent days.

The Queen Mother shook her head, her eyes full of pity for the suffering girl.
