Thinking this and that, Elder Lin hatefully glared at Mo Qi.

With these kinds of circûmstances, she and the prime minister's family had really gotten atop a tiger and would have great difficulty getting off.

Not caring about this man and letting him get caught was still a mortal crime. If they concealed it, then it would be fine, and they may still have a chance to live!

Therefore, even if Elder Lin was unwilling to build a relationship with Mo Qi and Ling Xiao, she had no choice but to do so.

Ling Xiao naturally knew of the twisting and turnings of Elder Lin's mind, but Mo Qi only thought that Elder Lin was very impatient and wanted to cast them away. She couldn't help but worry and ran over to Ling Xiao, pulling on his arm, "We're going, we're going right? Ling Xiao?"

She was fearful that Ling Xiao would refuse. Ling Xiao turned around to look at Mo Qi, staring at the place where Mo Qi  held his arm. His gaze went cold, and Mo Qi started, promptly releasing him, but with a plea still in her eyes.

"Ling Xiao, you always loved me the most, just think of it as doing it for me, ok? Stay behind with me, alright?"

Saying this, Mo Qi wept a little for this wish, "Are you really willing to part with me and leave me by myself in this palace? What if I get really scared? What should I do if I'm bullied? We came from the same place, are you really going to abandon me?"

Ling Xiao sneered. Back then, it was precisely because of those few words that he had been softhearted. In order to stay with Mo Qi, from then on, he was unable to be himself. Right now when circûmstances were so heavy, would he still follow after Mo Qi?

What a joke!

Ling Xiao ignored Mo Qi and said to Elder Lin, "Elder, as you can see, my current circûmstances aren't something I can help myself. Since I have no other alternatives but to stay at the palace, I will be relying on you to tell me what to do. Otherwise, if I were to be caught, it would only be a dead end."

Elder Lin's complexion slowly changed, "You are an understanding man."

Ling Xiao smilingly said, "However, Elder, since I ran away from the purification room, not talking about people, just those eunuchs in there have already seen my appearance clear as day.

Elder Lin frowned and coldly snorted, "This you don't need to worry about. Since I was able to find you, as long as you're obedient, I can arrange for another identity for you at once and can guarantee that no one will recognize you."

"However, once I finish arranging an identity for you, you must take good care of yourself, as well as that thing you did not get rid of." Elder Lin said fiercely as she fixed her attention on his lower half.

Ling Xiao's lower half tightened, and couldn't help but retreat a step. A while later, he pursed his lips and answered, "I am clear about these things myself."

For now, he didn't have another road to walk. Even though entering the palace was easy, leaving it was hard. Moreover, he was still a man and in the harem. As long as he wanted to keep his life, he would need to get a reliable identity. One that could conceal his identity as a man.

Although Elder Mo was still one of Lan Wei's people, they were both in the same boat. She would give him a reliable identity.

Elder Lin nodded her head, satisfied, and took the lead to one side, "Then come with me."

Ling Xiao followed and saw that Mo Qi followed as well. However, she was displeased and her footsteps soon stopped.

"What's going on?" Elder Lin turned her head and unhurriedly spoke.
