Yingyue didn't think about how long she could keep this secret from Lin Jiuqing. After thinking for a moment, she whispered, "There is something unsettled outside."

Lin Jiuqing felt a little helpless. How come the weather changed again when he woke up?

"What happened?" Lin Jiuqing asked.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that... His Majesty has decided to disband the harem." Yingyue raised her eyes and quickly glanced at Lin Jiuqing before continuing, "Before, His Majesty had some unpleasantness with the Queen Mother because of this matter, but it has been resolved."

"Your Majesty is afraid that this fire will burn you, your Majesty, so he has sent more guards to Lanyin Palace."

Lin Jiuqing: "..."

She was silent for a long time before she said, "Okay, I understand."

She had never mentioned the matter of disbanding the harem, but she and Mo Xiao had a tacit understanding about it.

She originally thought that these things might happen a very long time later, but she didn't expect Mo Xiao to bring up this matter at this time.

Ever since Mo Xiao ascended the throne, the position of the Empress has been vacant. Although he took in many concubines one after another, he never favored her, and he had very few children.

These ministers couldn't find any evidence against Mo Xiao at first, but later they showed up on their own and they had a target.

Since she didn't dare to do anything to Emperor Mo Xiao, she, as the instigator, became the best target.

Your Majesty is not wrong; the one who is wrong is this evil concubine who has bewitched your Majesty's heart.

Lin Jiuqing has lived two lives, and she doesn't care about these false reputations at all.

She and Mo Xiao are living well, which is more important than anything else.

Seeing that she hadn't spoken, Yingyue felt a little uneasy and couldn't help but say, "You don't have to blame yourself, Your Majesty, the decision to disband the harem was made after careful consideration. He..."

"Why should I blame myself?" Lin Jiuqing tilted his head and looked at Yingyue strangely.

Yingyue: "..."

She suddenly didn't know what to say.

Lin Jiuqing smiled and said softly, "Your Majesty is the Majesty of all people in the world, but Mo Xiao is my husband. Who among the women in the world doesn't want their husband's body and soul to belong to them alone?"

"I'm lucky. I met him. He was willing to stand by my side despite the world's disapproval. Naturally, I would cherish him even more. How could I abandon his kindness and affection? At times like this, I would stand by his side, not against him, and certainly not hold him back."

After listening to Lin Jiuqing's words, Yingyue also remained silent for a long time, and finally said: "Your Majesty and the Queen are living well, which is the most important thing."

She hadn't thought it through before.

She actually felt, like everyone else, that the Empress should be held responsible for His Majesty's disbanding of the harem.

However, feelings are a very personal matter, and outsiders have no way of understanding their feelings.

What's more, this kind of thing must have been something the two of them had a tacit understanding about and had considered carefully, so how could they put the blame on just one of them?

Lin Jiuqing walked around the yard a few times before returning to the house.

As soon as he sat down, a young eunuch came in and reported that His Majesty would stay in Yinghua Palace tonight and asked Lin Jiuqing not to wait in vain.

Situations like this where someone stays out overnight rarely happen since Lin Jiuqing returned to the palace.

It seems that disbanding the harem has brought Mo Xiao a lot of trouble.

Lin Jiuqing ordered the kitchen to prepare some food for Mo Xiao and his son, and then he lay down to rest again, and told Yingyue: "Except for the people from Yinghua Palace, no one else will be seen."
