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

As the sun sets, the sunlight dyes the sky a thin golden color, which is extremely gorgeous.

Beneath this grand splendor, a life is dying.

Lin Zhihe watched as the sunset glow gradually turned Xiao Taohong's tombstone crimson, and felt even sadder.

Her sadness had no way to be relieved and would always remain in her heart.

Can't cry, she told herself secretly. Crying would make her look useless and like a coward.

She doesn't want to be a coward.

Liu Li picked a bunch of flowers from somewhere, made them into a wreath, and handed it to Lin Zhihe, "Master, look..."

It is the most common wild flower in the fields. It is lonely but particularly full of vitality. It is a small flower that exudes a faint fragrance.

Lin Zhihe picked up the wreath and praised it repeatedly, "It looks beautiful."

She placed the wreath diagonally on Xiao Taohong's tombstone, making the lifeless tombstone appear bright.

"Our little Taohong looks so good in it!" Lin Zhihe finally smiled. "I'm leaving now. I'll come back to see you in a few days."

Liu Li helped her walk towards the palace. As they walked, Lin Zhihe subconsciously turned back to look for Xiao Taohong, but she only saw Xiao Taohong's grave. It was clearly Xiao Taohong's funeral that she had arranged...

"Let's go back. The palace is probably in chaos." Liu Li let out a sigh.

The palace was indeed in chaos.

Everyone put down what they were doing and watched the excitement at the Lin family.

Princess Cheng was slapped in the face by a talented person in the harem, who was also Princess Cheng's sister. It was a rare event.

Lin Zhihe could imagine everyone eating melon seeds and holding fruit plates, but unfortunately she was at the center of the vortex.

All the bright colors in the Vermillion Bird Hall were removed and replaced with plain colors.

The flower pots in front of the yard were in a dilapidated state, with several flowers withered and even the leaves turning yellow.

These pots of flowers have always been taken care of by Xiao Taohong. She is not very persistent, and she just watered them when she remembered her daughter, and they bloomed very well.

I guess Hua also sensed something and knew that the person who took care of her was gone, so she just left.

Liu Li followed Lin Zhihe's gaze and also saw the flower pots on the ground.

He turned his head sideways and observed Lin Zhihe, not knowing how Lin Zhihe would react.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhihe didn't react at all and continued walking forward.

When Lin Zhihe walked forward, Liu Li waved to a palace maid and said, "Take good care of these potted flowers and see if they can be saved."

"What's going on outside?" Lin Zhihe rubbed his temple.

She felt a burst of pain in her head, as if someone was hitting her with a hammer, or as if she was immersed in ice water. She felt dizzy and drowsy.

Liu Li saw her little action and asked anxiously: "Master, are you feeling unwell?"

Lin Zhihe waved his hand, "Nothing."

She wanted to feel pain, she needed pain. Physical pain could ease the pain in her heart. If she was comfortable, she would feel very sorry for Xiao Taohong.

She cannot live a colorful life, she needs pain, unspeakable suffering.

"I have already gone to find Shang Hai. I guess he won't come to see me until nightfall. Master, please take a rest first. I will tell you as soon as I have any news." Liu Li said in a very serious manner.

It's fake. Liu Li would not tell her right away, but would wait until she woke up.

Lin Zhihe knew it very clearly.

But it was different now. The earlier she understood the situation, the more time she would have to come up with a comprehensive solution.

"Too many people are involved in this matter. I have completely broken with the Lin family. Prince Cheng, Lin Yingchen, and Concubine Li will not let me go." Lin Zhihe raised his eyes and analyzed with him.

"It's not just them. The Queen may not be idle either."

"Queen?" Liu Li was very surprised.

"She had been trying to win me over before, otherwise she wouldn't have given me the jade ring and her old clothes for nothing. Just sitting back and watching us fight, she's bound to add fuel to the fire." Lin Zhihe explained patiently, but his head was hurting more and more.

Liu Li understood and nodded, "If the Queen intervenes, the servants in the Ministry of Punishment are good at reading people's expressions, and that would be good for us."

“It won’t be too beneficial. Even if the Lin family is found out, the Lin family can just find a servant to take the blame. Lin Zhiqiang won’t be hurt at all.” Liu Li seemed to react suddenly, and his originally optimistic look was gone.

The headache worsened. She felt as if someone was tearing her apart.

"I never expected the Ministry of Punishment to give me fairness. I've said before that I will come here to collect Xiao Taohong's debt myself." Lin Zhihe sighed.

Liu Li was even more confused, "Then what are you waiting for, Master?"

"Wait for a replacement."

Liu Li stared at Lin Zhihe and saw that her face was pale as the moon. She could clearly sense it, but it seemed very far away from her.

He suddenly felt that she looked very much like Chang'e.

She always said that she did not belong to this world, and Chang'e did not belong to the human world either. Chang'e would fly to the moon, and she became more and more ethereal, and even if she was right in front of him, he felt that he could not catch her.

Thinking of this, Liu Li felt very uneasy.

"Who to replace?" Liu Li asked her own question, but suddenly found the answer. Could it be...

He didn't dare to guess.

He can't touch the person who is right in front of him.

He didn't dare to think about the answer that was right in front of him.

"Liu Huan."

"We have already broken up. It is not appropriate for Liu Huan to stay in the Lin family. Change her back and I will not pursue the matter."

The three words "no pursuit" were emphasized.

Liu Li knew that Lin Zhihe would not let it go. She wanted to skin and bone all the people in the Lin family, after all, it was she who had implicated her.

Thinking of this, Liu Li felt even more guilty.

Lin Zhihe helped him redeem Huan'er from Nuanhong Pavilion, and now Huan'er is restricted by the Lin family...

As if he could see Liu Li's mood, Lin Zhihe smiled and acted carefree, "Don't think too much. We can't do anything to the Lin Mansion right now."

"It doesn't matter. It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge."

Liu Li didn't know what to say, so he could only repeat, "Yes, Master is right. It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge."

"Master, take a nap. I will call you as soon as Shang Hai comes."

Seeing that Lin Zhihe didn't believe it at all, Liu Li held up three fingers and said, "I swear to heaven that I will wake you up, otherwise..."

This sentence scared Lin Zhihe. She waved her hands hastily, wanting to rush over and cover her mouth, "Stop talking..."

Liu Li helped her take off her clothes, then lit the calming incense brought by Doctor Xu in the bedroom, and fanned the incense, trying to spread the fragrance quickly.

Lin Zhihe promised him to go to sleep, but he didn't sleep. He just lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

He felt a little distressed and was afraid that she would ruin her health, but in the end there was nothing he could do.

After looking at Lin Zhihe for a while, Liu Li felt relieved and slowly left the bedroom.

As soon as I went out, I saw Ren Minbi waiting outside.

"Go find Doctor Hu and tell him that the master has a headache. It would be best if he has ready-made medicine. If not, ask Doctor Hu to come over."

"Don't talk too much when you meet someone."

"I know." Ren Minbi quickly ran to the Imperial Hospital.

Liu Li looked in the direction of Lin Zhihe through the door, eyes full of worry, and hurried back to the bedroom.
