With the Queen Mother's order, Mo Xiao had no choice but to lift the house arrest orders on those concubines even if he was reluctant.

As a result, he had just come out of the Empress Dowager's Palace and walked to Lanyin Palace when Concubine Xian had already arrived at the door of Lanyin Palace and was being stopped at the door.

When the secret guard saw Mo Xiao coming, he immediately lowered his head and knelt down. Lin Qingqing, who was arguing with the secret guard, also turned around.

Seeing Mo Xiao, Lin Qingqing's eyes instantly turned red, and she whispered, "Your Majesty."

Her voice sounded aggrieved, even a little tearful, but it was a pity that Mo Xiao had no sympathy for her and didn't care about her grievances at all.

"What are you doing here?" Mo Xiao asked in a deep voice.

Lin Qingqing pursed her lips, her tone a little stubborn: "I just want to come and see if Concubine Chen is really pregnant."

Anyone could hear how unwillingly these words were spoken.

Mo Xiao's eyes flashed with anger: "What if it is, what if it isn't?"

Lin Qingqing: "Is she really pregnant?"

Mo Xiao didn't say anything, which was a sign of his agreement.

Lin Qingqing took two steps back, her face looking as ugly as it could be.

She pursed her lips, but couldn't help herself: "She has a close relationship with the Crown Prince and has the Crown Prince to rely on. Why, why would she risk her life to have a child?"

She looked up at Mo Xiao and said, "She has the love of the prince and your favor. She already has enough. Why is she still not satisfied? What else does she want?"

Mo Xiao's expression became more and more ugly, and he said in a cold voice: "She is pregnant and happy, you are crying and saying these nonsense things here, what do you want to do?"

Lin Qingqing's expression changed after being yelled at, but she still refused to bow her head stubbornly, and said softly: "I know it's a happy event, but I'm afraid..."

She raised her head and looked at Mo Xiao with tears in her eyes: "I know that I will never get your favor in this life. Now I just want to take good care of the Second Prince and depend on An'er in this palace. But, Concubine Chen is pregnant at this time."

"She has your favor. As time goes by, it's hard to guarantee that she won't want more... By then, will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still be so lucky? And my An'er, he is already a miserable person. If the Concubine Chen continues to interfere, how can we live?"

Mo Xiao frowned tightly when he heard her complaints. He said unhappily, "She is just pregnant and hasn't done anything yet, but you are making such assumptions... I think you are the ones who are vicious."

Lin Qingqing stared: "Your Majesty, we just want to live well."

"Why, aren't you living well now?" Mo Xiao asked coldly, "The concubines in the harem have plenty of food, clothing and other expenses, and live a carefree life every day. Has Concubine Chen ever persecuted any of them?"

"You, Concubine Xian, you have targeted her many times and have had many conflicts with her, but does she hold any grudge against you? She still suggested that I send the second prince to your care, because she feels sorry for you and wants you to live a smooth life. You have been in the palace for such a long time, but have you ever been in danger? Has Concubine Chen ever framed you? Lin Qingqing, don't judge others by yourself!"

The last few words were so sonorous and powerful that Lin Qingqing's face turned pale instantly.

"Your Majesty, I did not!"

Lin Qingqing shook her head and burst into tears out of grievance.

"In this deep palace, who can honestly say that they have no desires? She, the Concubine, spends the whole day in the Lanyin Palace pretending to be at peace with the world, but in fact, she has everything!"
