With Mo Cheng'an's presence, Lin Qingqing's mood was obviously much more stable.

She ate and slept on time every day, and was no longer depressed. She would find something to do. When the day came for the Huguo Temple, Lin Qingqing's complexion had improved a lot, and she was no longer tormenting herself like before.

At the palace gate, Mo Xiao was saying goodbye to the Queen Mother, and the Crown Prince and Mo Cheng'an were standing aside obediently.

"Qingqing wanted to come and see me off, but as her due date approached, her body became heavier, so I didn't let her come. Please don't blame her, mother."

Mo Xiao stood in front of the Queen Mother, and when he talked about Lin Jiuqing, there was a smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

The Queen Mother looked at her and said, "Why, am I the kind of petty person?"

Mo Xiao smiled: "Of course not, mother."

The Queen Mother sighed and said softly to Mo Xiao: "I don't have any problem with that child. Deep down in my heart, I also feel sorry for her and hope that she will be well. It's just... We are not an ordinary family. We are a royal family. Do you understand?"

The emperor favored Lin Jiuqing blindly and almost dismissed the entire harem for Lin Jiuqing, which had caused dissatisfaction among many court officials. If she, the empress dowager, followed the emperor in favoring Lin Jiuqing at this time, it would be like roasting Lin Jiuqing in the fire and making her the target of public criticism.

Moreover, as the empress dowager, she should stand up at this time to maintain the balance of the harem, which would also make those ministers shut up temporarily.

If they were just an ordinary family, then everything wouldn't have to be so complicated. She would definitely be a charitable mother-in-law and treat her daughter-in-law Lin Jiuqing as her own daughter.

Mo Xiao's expression softened when he heard the Queen Mother say this: "I understand the good intentions of my mother. Qingqing is also a reasonable person, she will understand too."

The Queen Mother nodded: "That's good."

She glanced at Lin Qingqing who was standing not far away, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "The virtuous concubine is not a bad person, but she is too obsessed with you and did some stupid things. Why don't you..."

"Mother," Mo Xiao interrupted the Queen Mother, shook his head slowly, and said in a deep voice, "I don't want to."

He didn't want some irrelevant people to interfere in his life, causing a rift between him and Lin Jiuqing, or even ending up in regret.

Although he didn't know why, from the moment Lin Jiuqing returned to him, he had a vague thought in his heart: he must not let Lin Jiuqing down, otherwise he would lose this person forever.

But the price of losing is something Mo Xiao cannot afford no matter what.

So, he would not allow any accidents to happen.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, the Queen Mother sighed again: "Since you have made up your mind, I will not persuade you any further."

Mo Xiao said softly: "Thank you, mother."

The Queen Mother didn't say anything. This was her own son, didn't she love him? She was the one who most wanted Mo Xiao to live a happy life.

She just said, "Let An An go and say goodbye to his mother."

Lin Qingqing looked at this side eagerly, and Mo Chengan was also eager to make a move, which the Queen Mother could see.

Mo Xiao glanced at Mo Cheng'an, then nodded to him: "Go talk to your mother."

Mo Cheng'an's eyes lit up and he said quickly, "Thank you, Father."

As soon as he finished speaking, he ran towards Lin Qingqing quickly, and Lin Qingqing's eyes widened instantly, and then she opened her arms in surprise to welcome Mo Chengan, and when he pounced on her, she hugged him into her arms.
