Lin Qingqing looked at Qiuyue for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "It's true... a tiger in trouble is bullied by a dog. But it doesn't matter, I forgive you."

Qiuyue's eyes moved and she looked up at Lin Qingqing.

Lin Qingqing leaned back. She was no longer embarrassed by her pampered lifestyle. Her arrogance emerged from every corner of her body.

"I will always be more tolerant towards the poor people. Who can blame me for being kind-hearted?"

Qiuyue curled the corners of her mouth and didn't respond to Lin Qingqing's words, but the words "poor person" did create ripples in her heart.

Lin Qingqing looked her up and down for a few times before continuing, "To be honest, I feel sorry for you."

"You are the one who has been with His Majesty the longest, but someone else got there first and you didn't even get a sip of soup. In terms of family background, she is not much better than you, and in terms of talent and beauty, you are not much worse than her. But you are being stepped on by such a person and can't turn over. If I were you, I would definitely not be able to stand it."

Qiuyue's expression did not change much after hearing these words. She said calmly, "This sounds familiar. I guess I have heard it somewhere before."

Lin Qingqing raised her eyebrows: "Look, I'm not the only one who thinks so."

"Besides, you risked your life to accompany His Majesty on the expedition, and you suffered so much. But when you came back, you got nothing. You were sent away with a few boxes of gold and silver treasures. Are you willing to accept this?"

Qiuyue: "I wanted to go to the border myself. Concubine Chen gave me this opportunity. I should be grateful to her."

Lin Qingqing sneered, looked at Qiuyue with disdain, and said uninterestedly: "You are born a lowly embryo, destined to be a slave."

She waved her hand and said to Qiuyue, "Go down."

When she saw Qiuyue, she felt even more suffocated and anxious.

Qiuyue nodded and left the room, remaining calm from beginning to end.

In the courtyard outside, a little maid looked inside and said in a low voice, "Why are you so arrogant? If she wasn't lucky enough to have Minister Lin protect her, she wouldn't know what would have happened to her now!"

They have been with Qiuyue for a long time, and Qiuyue is a nice person, so these people are more or less on Qiuyue's side.

Qiuyue looked at her and shook her head: "It is a taboo to make irresponsible comments about the master. Don't do it in the future."

The maid stuck out her tongue: "Got it."

Qiuyue nodded, stood up and went back to the Queen Mother's room.

The Queen Mother hadn't rested yet. She was leaning back in the soft chair, rubbing the rosary in her hand. When she heard footsteps, she looked up and asked calmly, "Is everything settled?"

Qiuyue nodded: "In reply to the Queen Mother, everything has been settled."

Queen Mother: "How is she?"

Qiuyue was silent for a moment before she said, "It's normal for the Imperial Concubine to find it hard to accept the sudden change. Give her some time, and I'm sure she'll be able to figure it out."

When the Queen Mother heard this, her eyes turned colder: "It has come to this, and she still doesn't repent. Minister Lin has really spoiled this daughter."

Qiuyue lowered her head and said softly, "Queen Dowager, please calm down and don't get yourself hurt by getting angry."

The Queen Mother took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and then slowly said, "If Minister Lin had not come to me for help, I would not have bothered with this matter. Well, I hope that this time when she goes to the Huguo Temple, she can think it through and not make mistakes again and waste Minister Lin's hard work."
