    “Why?” Su Moyi didn’t seem to expect she would have such a reaction and was immediately confused.

    The moonlight was quiet, and the flickering candlelight in the corridor reflected her slightly frowning brow.

    “Because…” Lin Wanqing hesitated, and then said in a low voice for a long time: “Because of my family’s affairs…”

    Su Moyi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: “You have a lot to do if you want to marry into the prince’s house. Three books and six etiquettes are indispensable. It will take more than half a year just to get through this routine, not to mention that I have to find a legitimate identity for you before that.”

    Lin Wanqing was still in trouble.

    After she was four years old, her identity was concealed by Uncle Lin, who bribed the county official responsible for collecting documents and concealed her identity on the grounds that she had no children in the family.

    Because at that time, in order to pay less taxes, the village would conceal the male gender, and there were only a few people who overreported the male gender like she. The people in charge thought that they could get money and collect more taxes, so they just went with him.

    Later, they moved to several places, and everyone who knew about it lost contact.Therefore, she had been studying as a man, and after joining the officialdom, because her official position was low, the status review only gave some benefits, so she got through again.

    But this time is different.

    With the Queen Mother and Dali Temple supervising her, the people below may be cautious, and her true identity may not be concealed.

    But finding out this is like one stone causing thousands of waves.

    If Su Moyi can be trusted, what about the Queen Mother?

    Where is Emperor Yonghui?

    When the Xiao family was accused of “rebellion”, how many people fell into trouble and stayed away. Will they be willing to see the Xiao family reverse the case?

    Even if Su Moyi is willing to help her, how long can he persist in such a siege and hopeless future?

    With their thoughts in chaos, Lin Wanqing and Su Moyi stood in the corridor, looking at each other speechlessly.

    In the end, Su Moyi spoke first.

    “I have never interfered with your family’s affairs,” he said calmly. The stars in his eyes dimmed just now, and it was hard to distinguish between happiness and anger when he looked at her, as if he had turned into the unsmiling Mr. Su in the court again.

    he paused and continued: “Because I think if you want to say it, you will confess to me one day. So if you don’t tell me, I won’t ask.”

    He stopped, waiting for her reply.

    However, what passed between the two of them was only the silent night and the refreshing breeze that filled the courtyard.

    He is not a person with crystal clear ice and no room for sand in his eyes.

    But for her, he is willing to wipe himself with ashes.

    “You don’t know me at all, do you?” Lin Wanqing asked, her voice filled with emotion, “You don’t even know my identity.”

    “Yeah…”

    Su Moyi lowered her eyes and looked at the person in front of her, smiling softly.

    The two of them were so close, the fresh smell of mugwort on her body was like a gentle night, everywhere, spreading quietly.

    He really doesn’t understand her.

    I don’t know where she comes from, what her name is, or what her intentions are.

    Even before this moment, he thought that she was looking forward to the same wedding dress as him.

    But he also knows a lot about her.

    He knew that among the more than one hundred houses in Dali Temple, her favorite was the case room.

    He knew that when she was reading the file, she would frown and purse her lips, looking attentive.

    He also knew that whenever she was silent, she was not thinking, but thinking about how to hide the things she didn’t want to say.

    Such as now.

    But he didn’t say any of this to Lin Wanqing, and all his thoughts at this moment turned into a bland sentence.

    He said: “Lin Wanqing, this is the last time I wait for you. I should not be the only one who takes the initiative in matters between us. I will give whatever I can. But if you let me take one more step…”

    He got closer, and under the corridor lamp in the lonely night, his dark eyes looked indescribably lonely.

    The burning gaze lingered on her face, like a spark of fire, burning her into a thin layer of sweat.

    She suddenly felt a sense of loss, as if the person in front of her had turned into a firefly.

    “I’ll turn around and leave,” he said, sounding more serious than ever.

    If the night is not thick enough, it will be broken.

    Cold light poured out from the broken clouds, and Lin Wanqing saw the two tangled shadows on the stone slab.

    The next moment, Su Moyi’s lips fell on her forehead.

    He hugged her, wrapped her in his arms, and quietly called in her ear, “Qing Qing.”

    Full of nostalgia.

    *
    Daming Palace, Chenghuan Palace.

    Someone pushed open the door of the dormitory and lit the candles in the room one by one.

    Wei Shu, who was already worried, was sitting on the couch with her knees in her arms.She was startled when she saw someone coming, and her eyes were full of defense when she looked over.

    “It’s me,” a clear female voice came from behind the screen, dignified and majestic.

    Empress Chen was supported by her nurse and walked out of the room full of lights.

    Wei Shu wanted to stand up and salute, but was excused.

    The rest of the people retreated with their heads buried, and Queen Chen sat down beside her bed.

    “Have you understood what I said?” she asked, shaking the fan in her hand gently.

    Wei Shu suddenly felt a chill in her vest.

    She came closer, with pleading in her voice: “Nu, Nu’s mother-in-law is still in their hands. If I don’t do things for them…”

    “But if you do things for them, I have ten thousand ways to kill you.” The queen’s voice was calm and without any waves.

    “What will happen to your mother-in-law if you die?” She asked, with a smile in her tone, “We are all going to die after all, so why waste your time.”

    “Empress!” Wei Shu knelt down on the ground with a plop after hearing this.

    She rolled off the bed, so when she knelt down, her voice was particularly loud, as if her kneecaps were broken.

    Queen Chen stepped back, not because she was frightened, but because she was offended by her sudden move. She frowned and covered her mouth and nose with a ball fan, with a look of disgust on her face.

    “Humph…” She smiled coldly, and the fan in her hand was rotated smoothly by her two fingers. The light and shadow cast some floating stripes on her face, like waving tiger beards.

    “You and I are both. The Queen Mother and the Emperor are the ones we rely on. Prince Su is the Queen Mother’s heartthrob. You said you are not targeting anyone, so why do you have to deal with him?”
