Tuoba Xiao took Qin Yanning back to the palace and told her the news that Concubine Lin had died in the fire.

Qin Yanning, who had known the truth for a long time, pinched herself and burst into tears. It took Tuoba Xiao to comfort her for a long time before her mood improved.

Among the palace maids who came with Qin Yanning, Nanny Ming was the oldest. After hearing the news, her eyes also turned red.

Only then did Qin Yanning realize that when Concubine Lin first entered the palace, she was taught by Nanny Ming, and that there was a kind of master-disciple relationship between the two.

At that time, Concubine Lin worked for the most difficult imperial concubine for four years, but when she was about to leave the palace, she failed and was favored by the emperor. She cried in front of Nanny Ming and cut off all contact between the two.

Nanny Ming understood that Concubine Lin did this to prevent the Imperial Concubine from implicating her, but it had been more than ten years since the two of them said goodbye that day.

It was not until the original owner was chosen for marriage that Concubine Lin knew that Nanny Ming was among the dowry. Only then did she shamelessly find Nanny Ming and ask her to take better care of Qin Yanning in the desert.

Now, when she suddenly heard that she and Concubine Lin were separated forever, Nanny Ming couldn't help but burst into tears.

Qin Yanning finally understood that in her previous life, after the original owner married into the desert, most of the palace maids who came with her as a dowry looked down on this timid princess. When she was being humiliated by Tuoba Xiao all day long, they kept their distance from her.

Only Nanny Ming would come to persuade the original owner, urging her to live well. Only when people are alive can they have other choices.

It turns out that all this was because of Concubine Lin. Although she was cowardly and did not teach the original owner how to survive better in the deep palace, no one could deny her love for the original owner.

Seeing Nanny Ming crying so sadly, Qin Yanning couldn't help but want to tell her the truth.

Of course, she could only think about it.

Tuoba Xiao is still the Khan now, so the first thing she has to deal with is this old man Tuoba Xiao. As for the matter of Concubine Lin, she has to keep it secret for a while.

Seeing that Qin Yanning was sad, Tuoba Xiao gave her a lot of things. In a moment, Qin Yanning's bedroom was full of jewels and treasures.

Qin Yanning gently comforted Tuoba Xiao: "King Khan, why don't you spend more time with your sisters? This will prevent them from disliking me."

Tuoba Xiao was about to get angry when Qin Yanning brought him a piece of meat, and he stopped himself. "I know the Khan likes Yanning, but my mother has passed away, and Yanning really can't bring herself to marry the Khan. It would be better to resolve the grudges in the hearts of all the sisters."

Qin Yanning spoke pitifully, but her eyes were looking at the soft couch beside her. It was really tiring to sleep on this couch. She had to send Tuoba Xiao away quickly and sleep on the luxurious bed for a few days to relax her muscles.

Seeing Qin Yanning about to cry, Tuoba Xiao couldn't bear to blame her, so he just nodded and agreed to it. Only then did Qin Yanning smile happily.

Finally, she did not forget to introduce the rules of Dazhang's harem to Tuoba Xiao. Although the old emperor was also licentious, he would go to the queen's palace to spend the night on the first and fifteenth day of every month. This way he could be worthy of the queen as his legal wife and shut up other people's gossip.

Tuoba Xiao was also moved when he heard this. Although his relationship with the Queen Mother had faded over the years, this was still a way to appease her.

The reason why Qin Yanning did this was, of course, to divert the blame. In his previous life, Tuoba Xiao died in the original owner's bed. The original owner was speechless and was slandered and accused by everyone. In this life, he wanted to lock Tuoba Xiao and that fake compassionate queen together.

That night, Tuoba Xiao really went to another concubine's bedroom. Qin Yanning was lying in bed alone, waiting for an unexpected guest.
