As soon as Mo Xiao left, Qiuyue's legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.

The Queen Mother glanced at her and said, "That's all you can do."

Qiuyue pursed her lips and said, "This servant... This servant was afraid that Your Majesty would see the Queen's handwriting, so I lost my composure like this."

Fortunately, Mo Xiao didn’t notice.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother said lightly, "He did see it."

Qiuyue, who had just stood up, felt her legs weaken and she almost fell to her knees again. She looked at the Queen Mother in shock: "Then, what should we do?"

The Queen Mother calmly drank a sip of tea and asked, "What should we do?"

"If His Majesty knew about this, wouldn't he be angry?" Qiuyue couldn't help but ask.

Your Majesty loves Lin Jiuqing very much and would definitely not want her to suffer any grievances. It would be bad if this incident caused a rift between the Queen Mother and Your Majesty.

The Queen Mother said calmly, "Of course he is angry."

Qiuyue: "Then..."

"So what?" asked the Queen Mother.

Qiuyue: "..."

She walked over and placed the copy of the sutra by Lin Jiuqing in front of the empress dowager: "I have checked it, and it was copied by the empress herself. There is not a single mistake or ink spot in the entire text."

The Queen Mother picked it up and flipped through a few articles, then nodded: "I can see that you really put a lot of effort into it."

She handed the scriptures to the nanny next to her and said, "Put them away."

After the nanny left, Qiuyue saw several Buddhist scriptures still placed on the table. She was a little surprised: "Empress Dowager, where did these Buddhist scriptures come from?"

She was the one who handled almost all the affairs in the Empress Dowager's palace, and she had never seen these Buddhist scriptures in the Empress Dowager's place.

The Queen Mother glanced at it and said calmly, "Of course it was sent by the Emperor."

Qiuyue: "...Your Majesty, why did you send me Buddhist scriptures?"

"I like Buddhist scriptures, so he gave me Buddhist scriptures," the Queen Mother smiled, "He was telling me not to embarrass his queen."

Qiuyue: "..."

She was a little worried, but looking at the Queen Mother's expression, she didn't know what to say and could only lower her head.

At the same time, I was thinking: The Queen said that His Majesty would not know, but His Majesty still knew...

The Queen Mother glanced at her and knew what she was thinking. She just said, "This time, you have wronged the Queen."

Qiuyue was stunned for a moment, then looked a little embarrassed and tried to explain: "This servant, this servant didn't mean that."

The Empress Dowager ignored her and continued, "Those young palace maids and eunuchs in Lanyin Palace naturally obey the Empress. No one dares to leak a single word of her words. However, there are also many secret guards in Lanyin Palace. They were trained by the Emperor himself and only recognize the Emperor as their master."

The Queen Mother took a sip of tea and laughed, "Besides, how can we hide what's going on in the palace from the Emperor's eyes?"

There was a hint of pride in his words.

Her son was the most outstanding emperor since Taizu. Apart from some unorthodox traits, he was impeccable.

If this palace is out of his control, then his reign as emperor would be in vain.

Qiuyue reacted and looked at the Queen Mother: "So, the Queen Mother didn't think she could hide it from Your Majesty from the beginning."

Only the Queen, who was busy copying scriptures all day, was worried about being discovered by His Majesty.

The Queen Mother lowered her head to drink tea and did not answer Qiuyue's question.

She frowned and said softly, "The Queen's side..."

"Let her copy it," the Queen Mother replied this time, speaking softly, "this will be considered a merit for her."

Qiuyue stopped talking.

Sometimes, she thought she was very smart, but in the end she found that in front of these real superiors, she was as immature as a baby.
