When Mo Xiao heard that Lin Jiuqing didn't even get enough rest because he was waiting for him, he felt so distressed that he was about to go into the house.

Yingyue said quickly: "The queen has gone to bed."

Mo Xiao: "I'll just take a look at her, it will be easier."

Yingyue breathed a sigh of relief and helped Mo Xiao open the door and let Mo Xiao in.

Mo Xiao entered the room, his footsteps light, and even his breathing became lighter as he approached the bed.

He carefully sat down beside the bed and looked down. Lin Jiuqing was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed. He didn't know what sweet dream he had, but the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he could see a little smile.

Mo Xiao: “…”

He tilted his head. No matter how he looked at Lin Jiuqing, he didn't look like he was sad because he had been waiting for him.

After looking at Lin Jiuqing in silence for a moment, Mo Xiao reached out to tidy up the quilt for her, then stood up and walked out.

Yingyue was waiting outside the door. When she saw Mo Xiao coming out, she hurried forward to help close the door.

Mo Xiao stood at the door and asked calmly, "How is she today?"

"Your Majesty, the Queen is doing well, except that she is a little sad that she couldn't wait for Your Majesty."

Mo Xiao lowered his head, rubbed his fingers, and asked calmly: "When do you eat and go to bed?"

Yingyue said it without thinking.

After listening to this, Mo Xiao sneered: "From the time you finished your meal to the time you went to bed, it only took an hour. Is this what you mean by waiting for me so long that you were too sad to fall asleep?"

Yingyue's mind twitched, and she knelt down with a plop: "I just, just...I deceived the king, please punish me, Your Majesty."

She was complaining bitterly in her heart. Normally, people like them would never dare to have any expectations of Mo Xiao. This time, she had the guts to tell a lie, and was directly exposed by Mo Xiao. This was almost fatal.

Mo Xiao lowered his eyes and glanced at her, then said in a muffled voice, "Take good care of her. She is in confinement now. Don't let her catch a cold in the wind, or she will get sick in the future."

"By the way, don't forget to let her sleep well!"

After Mo Xiao finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked away, his steps a little heavy.

Yingyue slowly raised her head, feeling like she had survived a catastrophe. Thinking back to what Mo Xiao had just said, she felt that the last sentence was a bit bitter.

Yingyue raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, turned around to look at the closed door, and thought to herself: No wonder the Queen is so fearless, it turns out that His Majesty really can't bear to treat her.

In this way, Yingyue's worries were put to rest.

As long as His Majesty still has the Queen in his heart, the Queen will not fall out of favor.

-

Mo Xiao came out of Lan Yin Palace, stood at the gate for a long time, and finally returned to Ying Hua Palace with a gloomy face.

Mo Chengning was lighting a lamp and dealing with the remaining memorials. When he looked up, he saw Mo Xiao coming back.

Mo Xiao walked straight to Mo Chengning, reached out and took a stack of memorials, then sat down in his seat and began to review them without saying a word.

Mo Chengning: "...Aren't you going back?"

Mo Xiao said nothing, just stared at the letter in his hand.

Mo Chengning didn't give up and asked again: "Where's the mother? Didn't you go to see her?"

Mo Xiao couldn't stand it any longer, and slammed the pen in his hand on the table fiercely, and said unhappily: "I am worried about her being neglected, what about her?"

"She doesn't even have me in her heart!"

Mo Chengning: “???”

He looked at his father in shock, as if he was looking at a stranger.

This woman who looks like a resentful woman, is she his wise and powerful father?
