When Mo Xiao heard Lin Jiuqing calling him, he felt somewhat happy, thinking that he was still the most important person in his wife's heart, and that she was calling him to comfort him.

But after he heard what Lin Jiuqing said, he felt a chill in his heart. This person didn't even think about coaxing him.

Mo Xiao's expression, which had originally relaxed, suddenly darkened. For the first time, he ignored Lin Jiuqing and strode away.

Lin Jiuqing: "..."

After Mo Xiao left, Yingyue came in from outside. Seeing Lin Jiuqing still drinking soup leisurely, she couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty didn't look very good when he left. Did the Queen have a quarrel with His Majesty?"

Lin Jiuqing didn't even raise his head: "We just had a few words, but that doesn't count as a quarrel, right?"

Yingyue's eyes went dark and she had so many things she wanted to say.

There are thousands of people in this palace. Who dares to argue with Your Majesty?

Yingyue patted her chest to calm herself down, and then gently persuaded: "Your Majesty, if there is anything, you can talk to him nicely. His Majesty loves you and will not refuse you."

"Now, you have angered His Majesty, and you don't know what will happen in the future..."

Yingyue pursed her lips, her eyes full of worry.

The women in the harem all live by the favor of His Majesty. If His Majesty favors you, you are the best; if His Majesty dislikes you, you are dirt on the ground.

If a woman had a family background, it would be fine. Even without the favor of His Majesty, she still had the support of her natal family. But their Concubine Chen only had the favor of His Majesty, and no one from her natal family would support her. Originally, Princess Chen Yuan and the Concubine were like sisters, and His Majesty would be more cautious with her around. But now that Princess Chen Yuan was in a coma, there was really no one else in the world to support the Concubine.

Lin Jiuqing looked at Yingyue's sad face and asked with a smile, "Are you afraid that I will fall out of favor?"

Yingyue pursed her lips and said softly, "Your Majesty, you don't know that in this harem, people flatter the powerful and bully the weak. Today, His Majesty walked out of Lanyin Palace with a cold face. Tomorrow, someone will spread the rumor that Your Majesty has fallen out of favor with His Majesty, and the day after tomorrow, someone will definitely neglect Your Majesty."

Lin Jiuqing was stunned for a moment. Having lived two lives, she naturally understood that Yingyue’s worries were not unreasonable.

However, this is indeed a small matter and has nothing to do with falling out of favor.

"If His Majesty is really like you said, and has left me because of a small quarrel, then he is not worthy of me giving up everything and returning to this capital."

Lin Jiuqing smiled and said softly: "Don't worry, I believe in my choice."

If she still misjudges people in her two lives, then she has really lived in vain."

Yingyue was worried, but seeing Lin Jiuqing's expression, she didn't know what to say, so she said softly, "Your Majesty treats the queen with care, which I think is different from others."

Lin Jiuqing knew from Yingyue's words that she didn't believe him at all. It was no wonder that she thought so. After all, the love of the emperor was like a mirage, and it was hard to tell the truth from the illusion.

What's more, he was the emperor. A woman in the harem was just a spice of his life. In his heart, there was only his country and people.

If the person who had experienced those unforgettable things with Mo Xiao was not Lin Jiuqing himself, Lin Jiuqing would probably have the same idea as Yingyue.

She shook her head without further explanation.

Some things need time to be verified. Before that, no matter how much you say or explain, it will be powerless and pale.

Yingyue was extremely worried seeing her indifferent look, but she didn't know how to solve the problem. She could only hope that His Majesty had some true feelings for the Queen.
