After Lin Qingqing returned, she was still lost in thought.

After letting the nanny take Mo Cheng'an away, Lin Qingqing suddenly asked Lian'er beside her: "Do you feel something is wrong?"

Lian'er's eyes moved: "What do you mean, Madam?"

"The prince called me brother as soon as he came in, but I saw his expression at that time. When he saw An'er, there was only surprise in his eyes, as if the word brother was not meant for An'er."

Lin Qingqing tilted her head, with a puzzled look in her eyes: "But he later said that he came to see An'er specially..."

Lin Qingqing couldn't figure it out, but she couldn't think of any flaws, and her eyes were full of confusion.

Lian'er on the side whispered, "Are you overthinking it, Your Majesty? The Crown Prince is calling us the Second Prince?"

Lin Qingqing: “Really?”

Lian Er nodded: "Yeah."

Lin Qingqing was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Don't you think that the Concubine Chen and that imperial physician are also weird?"

Lian'er: "..."

Lian'er sighed in her heart. Lin Qingqing had been spoiled since childhood, with a domineering and arrogant personality. She did things based on her mood without using her brain. But after staying in the palace for so long, she had become much more perceptive, and her brain seemed to have suddenly opened up, becoming much smarter.

This palace is indeed a place that can train people extremely well.

Lin Qingqing didn't notice Lian'er's expression and continued, "When the imperial physician saw me, he seemed to be frightened. He stood up immediately and looked at me with a wary look, as if I were a bad person."

"He's a royal doctor, why would he be on guard against me? And the flickering look in his eyes shows that he's obviously hiding something from me."

Lian'er: "...My Lady, did you feel wrong?"

"No," Lin Qingqing said firmly, "My feeling can't be wrong, I saw it clearly."

"The Concubine Chen is quite normal, but if you think about it carefully, there is something wrong." Lin Qingqing said in a deep voice, "She is weak, and the imperial physician asked her to exercise moderately and stop eating. Therefore, every time I see her, I can see her tending to some flowers and plants, or walking slowly around the yard, but the last few times I saw her, she was always lying or sitting. Moreover, she used to like to hold An An very much, but the last few times I saw her, she just pulled her to her side and never held her up once."

Lian Er became a little nervous after watching her analysis, and looked straight at Lin Qingqing: "So...what does the queen want to say?"

Lin Qingqing hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Lian'er: "Is mother's worry true?"

Lian’er: “…Ah?”

"The Concubine Chen is close to the Crown Prince. Seeing our An'er growing up day by day, she has a sense of crisis in her heart, so she gradually dislikes An'er and me," Lin Qingqing said slowly, "After all, An'er has me and our Lin family. If he really wants to fight for him, he may have a chance."

After listening to her analysis, Lian'er breathed a sigh of relief, but then couldn't help frowning.

"The Empress Chen is not that kind of person," Lian'er said softly, "No matter what, she would not lay hands on a child."

Lin Qingqing looked at her suspiciously: "Do you admire Chen Fei very much?"

Lian'er lowered her head and said softly, "I have been with the Majesty and have been dealing with the Concubine Chen for some time. At least that's how it looks on the surface."

Lin Qingqing snorted: "You said it was just on the surface. After all, you can only know a person's face but not his heart."
