章節 1448: Chapter 1448: A Bit of Treasure

"But, Your Majesty, that's impossible. How could Sui Zimo possibly take a fancy to Qin Luoyin? Moreover, he has already begun to doubt me, his very own mother, so it is even less likely that he would have any involvement with Qin Luoyin."

She knew that if she did not clear this matter up, the Emperor would start to suspect that Qin Luoyin had long been colluding with Sui Zimo.

If so, she, as Qin Luoyin's aunt, would be charged with the crime of misusing her people. Then, she would never have a place to stand in this harem again and, together with her son, would be looked down upon by others.

She dared not take this risk, nor could she afford to.

"Your Majesty, this might very well be another one of Sui Zimo's schemes. He may wish to use Qin Luoyin to drive a wedge between Your Majesty and me. Or it could be that the child in Qin Luoyin's belly belongs to one of his trusted subordinates. It's all uncertain."
