The Queen Mother looked at Lin Jiuqing and asked in a deep voice, "How is the Emperor now?"

Lin Jiuqing pursed his lips and said softly: "So far, no news has been received about His Majesty."

"However, the Crown Prince has already sent people to the border to investigate. I have also asked people to check on His Majesty. I believe that good news will be reported soon."

The Queen Mother's eyes turned red, and her expression was unprecedentedly ugly: "In other words, up to now, you don't even know whether the Emperor is alive or dead?"

Lin Jiuqing: "..."

The Queen Mother raised her hand and threw the teacup beside her. She choked up and said, "Such a big thing, you actually, actually kept it a secret. What do you want to do?"

"The emperor's safety is so important, how could you do this!"

Facing the Queen Mother's questioning, Lin Jiuqing was silent for a long time before he looked up at the Queen Mother and said word by word: "It is precisely because your Majesty's safety is too important that the Crown Prince and I have come up with this last resort."

The Queen Mother: "You still have reason?"

"Finally," Lin Jiuqing said in a deep voice, "It's just a rumor now, but there's already chaos outside. If this matter is confirmed, then those evil spirits hiding in the dark will probably come out. Your Majesty is away, the prince is young, and once the court is in chaos, the world will be in turmoil again. The peace that has been hard-won will be disrupted. In the end, can you bear it?"

The Queen Mother's eyebrows twitched, her expression still ugly, but she was unable to speak for a long time.

Lin Jiuqing took a deep breath, his eyes also reddened, and he said softly: "Finally, His Majesty is missing. How can the prince and I not be heartbroken and worried? He is not only your son, he is also my husband and the father of my child. The world needs him, and we... need him too."

After hearing Lin Jiuqing's words, the Queen Mother's expression finally didn't look so ugly anymore, at least the look in her eyes when she looked at Lin Jiuqing wasn't as disgusted anymore.

The Queen Mother rubbed her brows with her hand, and after a while she said, "If you kept this a secret, why did you let it out? Why did you confess to me today?"

"The Crown Prince and I have been suppressing this news, but we cannot stop those who are interested from deliberately spreading it. In the end, I am afraid that some people are unwilling to give up and are still eyeing the throne, so they made such a fuss, hoping to fish in troubled waters while Your Majesty is away."

The Queen Mother's face darkened instantly. She thought for a while, and finally said with a bit of cruelty in her tone: "Back then, the Emperor showed mercy because of blood ties. It seems that I shouldn't have been soft-hearted and thought about that little bit of affection that didn't exist at all. Otherwise, there wouldn't be the chaos today."

Lin Jiuqing lowered his eyes and did not respond to this. He only said: "The reason why I confessed to Zhaizui today is not only because I don't want to expire Zhaizui, but also because I want to ask Zhaizui for help with something."

The Queen Mother looked at her coldly, as if she had expected her to say that, and said in a deep voice: "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Lin Jiuqing looked up at her and said, "Your Majesty is not here, the Crown Prince is young, and there is no Queen in the harem. You are the backbone of the harem in the previous dynasty. Those people made things difficult for the Crown Prince in the previous dynasty, and I'm afraid it's not enough. They will definitely come to you in the end."

Lin Jiuqing bowed his head and said, "At that time, please confirm for the last time that your majesty is safe and there is nothing unusual. The so-called disappearance must be a rumor deliberately spread by someone with ulterior motives, just to cause chaos in the court."

"Please finally, help bi xia
