When these ministers entered the palace today, they were full of pride and determination, determined to avenge all the suffering they had endured in the past few days.

They will definitely not let the Concubine Chen, who has caused them so much harm, have an easy life.

However, before they could make trouble for the Concubine Chen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made trouble for them first. At this moment, everyone was worried that Zhou Chen and Minister Lin would find out about them. For a moment, they only thought about how to get away with it, and no longer had the mind to cause trouble for others.

Mo Chengning was too lazy to talk nonsense with these people. After dealing with these things, he directly drove them out. When the entire Yinghua Hall was empty, Mo Chengning leaned back as if exhausted, and said leisurely: "Finally, I can have a few days of peace and quiet."

The eunuch serving beside him looked at him with some pity and couldn't help but said, "How about going back and taking a rest? The room has been prepared with books that Your Highness likes to read, as well as some tricks that you like. You have been busy for so many days, it's time to take a good rest."

After all, he is still a child of a few years old, and it is the time for him to play.

Mo Chengning was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "No need."

Now that his father is not around, he needs to take on more responsibilities and can no longer just indulge in fun.

He stood up and said, "I have to go to Lan Yin Palace to see my mother."

A few days ago, his mother came to Yinghua Palace and helped him out of danger, but because of this, she was hated by those ministers. Although his mother didn't care about these things, Mo Chengning cared a lot in his heart. He didn't want anyone to regard his mother as an enemy or think that his mother was bad. But now he is not able to make everyone respect him, so he can't play around.

What's more, his mother's situation is different now, and he will always be worried if he doesn't visit her for a few days.

When Mo Chengning arrived at Lan Yin Palace, he saw that the number of guards outside the palace was more than twice as many as before, and frowned slightly.

The secret guard next to him immediately stepped forward to explain: "The queen has been exhausted recently and needs to rest. We are afraid that some ignorant people will disturb the queen's peace, so we have doubled the number of people to guard her."

"Plus, this rumor was obviously spread intentionally. I am in the open, but my enemies are in the dark. No one knows whether the person behind the scenes will harm the queen."

Therefore, the guards in Lan Yin Palace are more numerous than usual and are stricter than usual.

Mo Chengning hummed: "No matter what happens, we must ensure her safety."

The secret guards nodded, not daring to neglect their duties. Before His Majesty left the capital, he gave them a death order, which was to protect the safety of the Empress Chen and the Crown Prince at all costs.

Mo Chengning stepped into Lanyin Palace and happened to see Lin Jiuqing standing under a plum tree, looking up at the tall branches.

Mo Chengning looked at her for a moment before he quickly stepped forward and called out, "Mother."

Lin Jiuqing heard the voice, turned his head and looked over, then raised the corners of his lips and revealed a gentle smile: "Ningning, are you done?"

It’s not His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but Ningning.

Mo Chengning's fatigue over the past few days seemed to have been swept away, and his steps became much lighter.

He walked to Lin Jiuqing, held her hand, and looked up following her gaze: "What is mother looking at?"

Lin Jiuqing raised his hand and pointed to the highest branch, smiling and saying, "There is a small flower bud there."

Mo Chengning was stunned. He looked carefully and saw a flower bud emerging on the branch, revealing a little tender yellow.

This is a wintersweet. When it blooms, the fragrance fills the garden.
