Lin Jiuqing got on the carriage. Yingyue quickly handed him the prepared cushion and helped Lin Jiuqing sit down before she breathed a sigh of relief.

She stepped back a little and sat down on the carpet at Lin Jiuqing's feet. While adjusting Lin Jiuqing's skirt, she whispered, "That virtuous concubine seems to be suspicious."

The other concubines in the harem had little contact with Lin Jiuqing, and not everyone could enter her Lanyin Palace. Lin Qingqing had Mo Chengan by her side, and through this relationship, she met Lin Jiuqing several times in the later period.

Even though she had tried her best to cover it up, some small details were still a little different from before, and it was inevitable that it would attract Lin Qingqing's attention.

Lin Jiuqing half leaned on the soft pillow and said calmly: "You can doubt it if you want to. This matter can't be concealed after all."

Besides, Mo Xiao is back, so it doesn’t matter even if it is made public.

Yingyue also thought this was true, so she didn't say anything more, but said, "I wonder how happy His Majesty will be when he sees the Empress later."

Lin Jiuqing looked at his bulging belly and sighed: "I'm not really happy, but I am really scared."

Yingyue: "..."

"Your Majesty loves you, so he shouldn't make things too difficult for you..."

Lin Jiuqing shook his head in his heart. Mo Xiao was not so easy to mess with. It was true that he loved himself, but when he got angry, he would always find ways to deal with himself.

The two chatted all the way, and the carriage soon left the palace gate. After another quarter of an hour, they arrived at the city gate.

The carriage stopped. Yingyue lifted the curtain and looked outside. Then she turned back and said to Lin Jiuqing, "Your Majesty, they are all waiting. Shall we go down too?"

Lin Jiuqing raised his eyes: "No."

"what?"

"Anyway, in everyone's eyes, I am just a spoiled concubine, so it's normal for me to act arrogantly, right?" Lin Jiuqing said leisurely, "What's more, Lin Qingqing has become suspicious of me, and she will inevitably come to me and test me in various ways. I'm too lazy to deal with her."

Yingyue thought for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty is right, then let's wait in the carriage."

The most important thing is that Lin Jiuqing is now older and heavier, and can't stand for long periods of time. In addition, it is freezing cold outside, and if she gets hurt, those who are waiting on her will lose their heads.

Outside, Lin Qingqing watched as Lin Jiuqing's carriage remained motionless, and could not help but frowning: "Everyone is waiting here, why hasn't she gotten off yet?"

Lian'er took a look and said softly, "Maybe he was delayed by something."

Lin Qingqing raised her foot and walked over there: "I'll go take a look."

Lian'er reached out to stop him, but failed.

Lin Qingqing arrived in front of the carriage and asked Lian'er to knock on the door. Yingyue poked her head out and bowed to Lin Qingqing: "My Lady Imperial Concubine."

Lin Qingqing glanced inside the carriage, but couldn't see clearly, so she asked, "Why hasn't the Concubine Chen come down yet?"

Yingyue whispered, "My queen is afraid of the cold, so she will hide in the carriage for a while."

When Lin Qingqing heard this, her brows furrowed immediately: "Today, His Majesty is returning to the court, and the imperial court and the imperial harem are here to greet him. How can she be so casual and unruly about such an important matter?"

"Tell your master to come down and stop people from gossiping."

Yingyue waited for Lin Qingqing to finish speaking before she replied lightly, "My queen is weak and can't stand the wind. Please help her, my queen, and don't make it difficult for me."

The words were said politely, but the tone was very strong, and he did not mean to discuss the matter with Lin Qingqing.
