Seeing Lin Qingqing's lack of interest, Mo Cheng'an asked doubtfully, "Mother, are you unhappy?"

Lin Qingqing smiled: "I'm not unhappy."

Mo Chengan: "Mother is lying."

Lin Qingqing was silent for a moment, then reached out and touched Mo Chengan's head, and said softly: "I just think... people are very realistic, especially in this palace. Today, if An An hadn't been here, these people would not take my mother seriously."

Mo Cheng'an's expression darkened, and then he said, "Don't worry, mother. I will definitely learn skills from my brother, the crown prince. When I grow up, I will be filial to you and will never let others bully you."

Lin Qingqing didn't think for a moment and said quickly: "What if the one who bullied me was your brother, the prince?"

Mo Chengan was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said very seriously: "Absolutely impossible."

As soon as she said this, Lin Qingqing realized that she had said the wrong thing. She wanted to explain, but seeing how Mo Chengan was so determined to defend the prince, she couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so sure?"

"Brother Crown Prince is not a bad person," Mo Cheng'an pursed his lips and said word by word, "He is very smart, very capable, and very much loved by the Emperor. He has great abilities and power. In this palace, besides the Emperor, he is the most powerful person."

"But the prince has never bullied others. He only does what he thinks is right. If others don't provoke him, he will definitely not bother to cause trouble for others."

Mo Chengan raised his head and looked at Lin Qingqing: "So, mother's assumption is not true at all."

Lin Qingqing looked at his thorough analysis and felt a little depressed. She said in a deep voice, "What if I did something wrong and offended your brother, the crown prince?"

Mo Chengan frowned, and after a moment of silence, he said seriously: "Then I will go and beg the prince brother to not hurt you, and I will bear all the blame."

As soon as Mo Chengan said this, Lin Qingqing's heart trembled, and she wanted to slap herself twice on the spot.

How could she be so aggressive? Mo Chengan was still so young.

She asked aggressively, what kind of answer did she want?

She quickly reached out and hugged Mo Cheng'an, patted his back soothingly, and said softly: "Mother was just talking nonsense to tease you just now. Mother will not provoke the crown prince, and will not let you bear anything for mother. Mother just wants you to live in peace and happiness."

Mo Chengan reached out and patted her back: "Don't worry, mother, I'm doing well."

Lin Qingqing reached out and wiped the corners of her eyes, adjusted her mood, then looked at Mo Chengan again and said with a smile: "As long as An'an is happy."

She turned around and took out a bundle from the cabinet. The things inside were what she had packed herself the night she was driven out of the palace. She was in a hurry that night and didn't take anything else with her except these things.

She opened the bundle, took out a gold necklace from it and put it around Mo Chengan's neck, smiling and saying, "This necklace was made for me by my father when I was born. I liked it very much and wore it until I was ten years old. Later, I took it off because it was no longer suitable. I couldn't bear to throw it away, so I brought it with me when I entered the palace. Now it's just the right time to give it to you."

She helped Mo Chengan adjust the collar and said softly, "Grandfather will definitely love you when he sees you wearing this collar."
