It doesn’t matter, my boyfriend is a eunuch!

Although he knew that Xiao Taohong was experiencing a last burst of vitality, Lin Zhihe still couldn't believe it when she really closed her eyes.

She shook Xiao Taohong's body desperately and held Xiao Taohong's hand tightly.

My hands are still warm, there must be hope!

Lin Zhihe lay beside Xiao Taohong's ear and called out in a low voice, choking with sobs: "Xiao Taohong, don't sleep anymore, get up and eat..."

Before he finished saying the word "eat", he was speechless.

She looked hard at the pig's trotters and pastries placed around her, and the suppressed thoughts in her heart were activated.

"Is the poison in these things?" Lin Zhihe pointed at the pile of food.

Doctor Xu, who was standing nearby, took out a cloth bag from the box and pulled out a silver needle for acupuncture.

He first picked up the natural rose tuckahoe cake, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and his facial expression began to change. Then he picked up a silver needle and inserted it into the rice cake, and pulled it out after a while.

The silver needle turned black.

Then he tried the pig's trotter and got a black silver needle as well.

Lin Zhihe looked at the needle and closed his eyes.

it is as expected.

"I'm afraid there are more than that. I'd like to trouble Doctor Xu to check all the food and clothes that the Lin family sent."

"No, check everything." Lin Zhihe felt hopeless.

She still held Xiao Taohong in her arms. In the evening, the sun was gradually swallowed by the darkness, and Xiao Taohong's body became colder and colder.

A person who had always been full of energy was now lying here, motionless.

Her warm blood just now burned her like a torch, but now it felt a little cold.

His face became paler.

"Master," Liu Li called softly.

Lin Zhihe remained motionless, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Liu Li's voice got louder, and she turned Lin Zhihe's head, forcing her to look away, "Lin Zhihe!"

Lin Zhihe still ignored Liu Li.

Liu Li looked into Lin Zhihe's eyes, which were gray and his whole body seemed to be under a spell, without any sign of life.

It seemed as if the soul also left with Xiao Taohong.

"Master, don't scare me!" Liu Li suddenly became frightened and hid at Lin Zhihe's feet, her voice also panicking, "Say something to me, say something..."

After a while, Lin Zhihe seemed to react and muttered to himself: "What did I say?"

Liu Li knew that it was hard for Lin Zhihe to accept this, so she stood by her side.

Lin Zhihe didn't cry, but just sat there blankly, holding Xiao Taohong's body.

"Master, it's getting late and the dew is heavy, I..." Liu Li stopped talking halfway.

He didn't know what to do either.

A servant in the harem was suddenly poisoned to death. According to common sense, it should be reported to the eunuchs, who would investigate it thoroughly.

But this matter also involves the Lin Mansion. He looked up at Lin Zhihe, wondering how she would handle it.

"Master, go back."

It’s already the second update. It’s not like he’s sitting there holding Xiao Taohong the whole time.

"I don't know how. I'll just wait here." Lin Zhihe suddenly spoke.

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait for the people from the Lin residence. The things were sent by the Lin residence. You must give me an explanation as to who poisoned them." Lin Zhihe's tone was devoid of any humanity, like that of a wandering soul.

"Go get Xiao Taohong a piece of clothing. The child is getting colder and colder."

She seemed like she really didn't know and kept blowing air on Xiao Taohong's hands, trying to warm her up.

Liu Li opened her mouth but didn't say anything in the end. She raised her hand and asked Ren Minbi to go to the bedroom and get two cloaks.

At this time, he didn't dare to leave Lin Zhihe, for fear that something might happen to Lin Zhihe if he wasn't paying attention.

Soon, Ren Minbi took out three cloaks.

He put it on himself first, then picked up a scarlet cloak and wrapped it around Lin Zhihe from behind, then went to the front to help her tie the straps.

Lin Zhihe was stunned. She didn't even blink at Liu Li's series of actions.

Suddenly, she screamed, her expression became painful, and even her breathing became rapid.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Liu Li looked at her anxiously, but could not see any clues.

Lin Zhihe just screamed with her mouth open, looking like she wanted to speak but she couldn't. The sound was stuck in her throat and she could only utter simple syllables.

Not only Liu Li, but even Ren Minbi next to her gathered around and looked at Lin Zhihe, wondering why she suddenly reacted so violently.

Liu Li had an idea in her head, untied the laces with her hands, threw the scarlet cloak on the ground, and winked at Ren Minbi.

Sure enough, when the cloak was removed, Lin Zhihe seemed to be freed from the spell and his whole body stopped trembling.

She threw herself directly into Liu Li's arms, nestled into his neck, and whimpered.

Tears flowed down his collar, onto his skin, and into his heart.

He stroked Lin Zhihe with his hand, and said in a very gentle tone, "It's okay, it's okay."

He didn't know how to comfort her. He knew that Lin Zhihe in front of him had never treated Xiao Taohong as a maid, and she treated Taohong the same way he treated Liu Huan.

"I won't let any of these bastards go." Lin Zhihe's voice also trembled.

He quickly took off his black cloak and put it on her. "Okay, we won't let them go."

This swing was made by Liu Li for Lin Zhihe.

The incident with Concubine Xi had just happened at that time, and Lin Zhihe didn't want to go out. Liu Li was afraid that she would be bored, so she made a swing for her.

Xiao Taohong also likes it very much and often eats cooked food on the swing.

Every time Liu Li saw food residues on the swing, she would get angry and warn Xiao Taohong to wipe off the residues after eating next time.

Xiao Taohong only agreed verbally but never did it.

Liu Li glanced over and could still see some rice cake crumbs and a few pieces of pork scraps on the swing.

Thinking of this, I felt sad again.
