When Mo Xiao heard Mo Chengning's words, his expression changed. He lowered his head and said nothing.

Mo Chengning walked to his seat and sat down. He picked up the memorial and looked at it. Then he looked up at Mo Xiao. Seeing that he was still unmoved, he said leisurely, "The people in the palace are the ones who flatter the powerful and look down on the weak. They saw your father leave in anger in front of everyone, and now you don't come home at night. I don't know how those people will treat your mother."

"Well, I'll go there later. Even though I don't have the favor of my father, at least I, the crown prince, still care about him. This way, the people below won't go too far."

After Mo Chengning finished speaking, he didn't say any more. He understood the principle of knowing when to stop.

Mo Xiao still didn't say anything, but he couldn't concentrate on the document in his hand.

Mo Chengning had good eyesight. He saw that although his father was holding the memorial seriously, his mind was somewhere else. He laughed in his heart, then lowered his eyes and looked at his own memorial silently.

-

Lan Yin Hall.

As it was getting darker outside, Mo Xiao still showed no sign of coming back.

Lin Jiuqing yawned and stood up: "I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep."

Yingyue hurriedly stepped forward to help Lin Jiuqing to the inner chamber, and while helping her change clothes, she whispered, "My queen, how about waiting a little longer?"

Lin Jiuqing raised his eyebrows: "What are you waiting for?"

"Your Majesty may have been delayed by something and may be back soon." Yingyue said cautiously.

Lin Jiuqing laughed: "If he doesn't come back today, can't I rest?"

Yingyue said quickly: "That's not what I meant."

Lin Jiuqing smiled and said, "Okay, no need to be so cautious. He... is probably angry with me. It will be fine once he calms down."

Yingyue pursed her lips, still a little worried.

Lin Jiuqing had no choice but to say, "Okay, okay, if he doesn't come tomorrow, I will go to Yinghua Palace to look for him myself. Is that okay?"

Yingyue shook her head and said, "It's been less than a month since the birth of the queen. She can't go out yet. If she catches a cold, it will be a big problem."

She helped Lin Jiuqing lie down and said softly, "Forget it, the most important thing for your majesty now is to take care of your body. We can talk about other things later."

Your Majesty already has a Crown Prince, and now she has a little prince. Even if His Majesty really has a grudge against Your Majesty, he will not be too harsh on Her Majesty for the sake of the two little princes.

After all, things are not out of control.

The people below were worried to death, but Lin Jiuqing acted as if nothing had happened. He lay down and fell into a deep sleep soon after.

Yingyue looked at her like this and sighed in her heart. She didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing that the queen was so open-minded and did not fight.

After covering Lin Jiuqing with the quilt, Yingyue stayed by the bed for a while. Only when Lin Jiuqing fell asleep did she turn around and walk out quietly.

Just as she was about to close the door, she heard footsteps behind her. Yingyue's heart sank and she turned around suddenly, and a bright yellow color caught her eyes.

Yingyue's pupils shrank, and she immediately knelt down: "Your Highness."

Mo Xiao raised his hand and asked in a deep voice, "Where is she?"

Yingyue lowered her voice and said softly, "Your Majesty has been waiting for His Majesty for a long time, and she really couldn't bear it anymore, so she just went to bed."

Mo Xiao narrowed his eyes: "She's waiting for me?"

Yingyue said firmly: "She has been waiting, and she is so impatient. If it weren't for me trying my best to persuade her, she would not sleep and would have to wait until Your Majesty comes back."
