Song Yingyue is Lin Yuehong's biological mother, how could he not see what she meant.

I wanted to remind Lin Tingwan but I couldn't say it in front of Song Yingyue.

Lin Tingwan was worried about Pei Jinan, so she finished the pear soup in just a few sips and left in a hurry.

Song Yingyue watched from behind, but couldn't say anything.

She didn't know when the child had become estranged from her, and she could clearly feel that the relationship between them was no longer the same as before.

She just looked at them with a worried look on her face. What the two of them did was no longer something she could control.

The children were grown up, and she was just a woman with no special abilities. Naturally, she could not help the two children and could not intervene.

The child cannot help his mother.

……

His Majesty sneered and looked at Pei Jinan and said, "Eleventh Brother, someone saw with their own eyes that my concubine and Miss Lin were captured together. How come Miss Lin came back? Was it intentional?"

Pei Jinan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is a bit imprecise. I am not that kind of person."

"I just want to ask you why Concubine Shu disappeared?"

"I don't know. I didn't see any Shufei among the imperial envoys. I hope Your Majesty can see clearly." Pei Jinan's tone was firm.

He was right, he really didn't see any Concubine Shu.

His Majesty shook his head and said sadly, "Shufei is the person I miss the most in all these years besides the Queen. You must tell me where she is."

Pei Jinan's eyes flickered and he spoke slowly, "Your Majesty, I really didn't see it."

At this moment, Eunuch Sun walked in slowly, "Your Majesty, Miss Lin Tingwan wants to see you."

"Call her in."

Pei Jinan felt something was wrong in his heart. He didn't want Lin Tingwan to get involved in this matter, but what should he do now that she is here?

"Your Majesty, this matter..."

His Majesty stretched out his hand to ask Pei Jinan to stop talking. Helplessly, he lowered his head and said nothing.

When Lin Tingwan came in, she bowed to His Majesty and Pei Jinan, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

Pei Jinan couldn't help but feel worried when he saw her weak body, and his brows were tightly furrowed.

His Majesty saw what was going on at a glance and said with a smile, "Brother Eleven, do whatever you want, so as not to appear as if I were forcing a couple apart."

"Thank you, brother."

Pei Jinan helped Lin Tingwan up after he finished speaking, "Yangyang, you are not feeling well, why are you here?"

Lin Tingwan took Pei Jinan's hand, but shook her head gently, "Your Majesty, I came to you to talk to you about Concubine Shu."

His Majesty narrowed his eyes, turned his head and looked at Pei Jinan, then slowly said, "Miss Lin, please feel free to speak."

"When I was tied up, I was indeed with the Concubine Shu, but I escaped halfway. I really didn't know it was the Concubine Shu. Otherwise, I would have let the Concubine Shu go first even if I had to risk my life."

Lin Tingwan spoke every word without changing his expression or heartbeat.

In fact, she didn't care about the Concubine Shu at all. She didn't even care about His Majesty, let alone anything else.

Pei Jinan couldn't help but tighten his grip on Lin Tingwan's arm when he heard that.

Lin Tingwan slowly said, "I hope Your Majesty will not vent his anger on the King of Zhenbei because of this. This matter is all my fault."

His Majesty was stunned for a while after hearing this, then laughed muffledly, "I understand."

Your Majesty will definitely not vent your anger on Lin Tingwan, not only because of Pei Jinan, but also because of General Lin.

There is a saying that goes, don’t look at the monk’s face, but look at the Buddha’s face.

Your Majesty knows that Lin Tingwan cannot be touched now.

I just said that just to dampen Pei Jinan's enthusiasm.

……

The trees in the forest are towering with lush branches and leaves. The sky presents colorful colors through the dense branches. The mountain breeze blows gently, bringing a fresh breath.

In this quiet and peaceful woodland, a young woman was tortured, her hands and feet tied, and she could not help but moan in pain.

Her hair was disheveled, her face was covered in blood, her clothes were torn and shredded, and she looked in a state of disgrace. She was surrounded by ferocious bandits who happily beat her body in front of her.

The woman faced these thugs alone, trying to struggle for a chance of survival.

But it was no use - her hands and feet were tied tightly, and her body trembled under the hands of the bandits. The roar of wild animals came from the forest, but all this only made the ancient woman more desperate and painful. She lamented her fate and prayed to God for help.

Suddenly, a shrill howl was heard from the woods, which frightened everyone in the forest. The bandits immediately attacked the beast that rushed towards them with their sharp knives. The venom spurted out from the beast's fangs and quickly pounced on the bandits, making it impossible for them to attack the woman.

The violent scenes in the deep forests make people feel helpless and heartbroken, with the humming of wild beasts and the roaring of bandits mixed together.

……

Pei Jinan looked at Lin Tingwan, who had his head lowered and his expression unclear, and slowly said, "Thank you Yangyang."

"What are you thanking me for?" Lin Tingwan turned his head away awkwardly. "What is there to thank me for? I'm not here to help you. I'm just afraid that this matter will involve me."

Pei Jinan laughed quietly when he heard this, but he never exposed Lin Tingwan, "I understand Yangyang, it's not my own fault."

Lin Tingwan lowered his head and said nothing, but he felt a headache and his body shook involuntarily.

Pei Jinan immediately supported her with a worried look on his face, "Are you feeling uncomfortable? I'll call the imperial physician to check on you."

Lin Tingwan shook his head and said, "It's okay. The doctor said it was just caused by not eating for a long time. It will be fine after a few days."

Pei Jinan heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, but he was still worried, "Send someone to take a look?"

Somehow, he didn't want to force Lin Tingwan. If she didn't want to, he wouldn't force her.

Lin Tingwan still shook his head firmly, "No, Your Majesty, I'm really fine. If I feel unwell, I will find a doctor."

"Okay." Pei Jinan said in a hoarse voice.

Pei Jinan supported Lin Tingwan and they walked away.

Pei Yanli was looking at the two of them intently from a distance, and it was impossible to make out the expression on his face.

It took a while for his gloomy face to be exposed to the sunlight, half gloomy and half in the light, so it was impossible to see his original expression clearly.

Pei Yanli turned and entered His Majesty's tent.

"Father."

"You got the news quickly. How come you have already inserted someone into my side? Pei Yanli, you are really brave!"

His Majesty's voice was loud, and every word he said was cold.

"Please understand, Father. I would never do that."
