Yingyue looked at Lin Jiuqing's indifferent expression and whispered, "I thought Your Majesty..."

Before she finished her words, Lin Jiuqing guessed what she was going to say and smiled: "Do you think I will be soft-hearted and at least meet her?"

Yingyue nodded quickly.

After all, Lin Jiuqing was really kind, and she was very nice to everyone in Lanyin Palace, which was why the people in Lanyin Palace were so united. In this cannibalistic palace, it was their great luck to meet a master like Lin Jiuqing.

At the beginning, Lin Jiuqing personally sent Qiuyue to the Majesty. Now that Qiuyue came back to ask for an audience, Yingyue thought that Lin Jiuqing would be somewhat soft-hearted, but now it seems that she was wrong.

Lin Jiuqing smiled and said softly, "She has been serving His Majesty for a much longer time than I have been with His Majesty. If His Majesty really has any feelings for her, it is not my turn. So, it is His Majesty who has no feelings for her. It has nothing to do with me, and I don't owe her anything."

"I had selfish motives when I asked her to go on the expedition with His Majesty, but this was also what she wanted to do, and I gave her a chance to get close to His Majesty, right? If you think about it carefully, this is a mutual achievement for us. Moreover, I gave her many rewards afterwards, so there is no question of owing her anything."

"She has been with Your Majesty for such a long time at the border but still failed to impress Your Majesty. Now she wants to rely on me to achieve her goal, which is even more useless."

All in all, she didn't owe Qiuyue anything, and there was no need for her to meet Qiuyue.

As for what Qiuyue wants to do, that is not something Lin Jiuqing can control.

After listening to Lin Jiuqing's words, Yingyue couldn't help but sigh: "My queen, you are really insightful."

See everything clearly and never get entangled in internal friction.

Lin Jiuqing smiled and said nothing. It took her two lifetimes to learn how to be so clear-headed now.

The two of them were drinking tea and chatting here, but the atmosphere outside Lan Yin Palace was not so relaxed.

The door of Lan Yin Palace opened and Mo Xiao strode out.

As soon as the ministers saw Mo Xiao, their eyes lit up immediately. Thinking that they had achieved their goal, they hurriedly shouted, "Your Majesty, your subjects..."

"Are you guys trying to force me to abdicate?" Mo Xiao interrupted them harshly, scolding them coldly, "You're forming cliques, forming factions for personal gain, and rebelling against your superiors... Now even my harem can't be peaceful. How about I give this throne to you?"

After Mo Xiao finished speaking, the people kneeling on the ground suddenly broke out in cold sweat, their pupils trembled, and their faces turned pale!

"Wei Chen doesn't dare!"

These people knelt on the ground, and no one dared to look up at Mo Xiao.

Mo Xiao walked down the stairs and looked down at everyone. "You guys are in charge of which woman I favor, who I appoint as my imperial concubine, and who I give my son to... I am just a puppet in your hands. I don't have any freedom, right?"

The ministers were so frightened that they trembled all over and explained stiffly: "Your Majesty is the Majesty of the people of the world. Your Majesty's family affairs are also state affairs. I only want to..."

"You are not only my subjects, you are also the parents of the people of the world, and your family affairs are also state affairs. In this case, I will thoroughly investigate whether your families are abiding by the law, and whether your wives and concubines are of clean origin and virtuous. If not, I will punish you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people below turned into quails, not daring to breathe.
