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

Sure enough, Hepin was just confused for a moment, but she was not a fool after all. She quickly realized what Lin Zhihe was trying to achieve by going through so much trouble.

Yes, what's the point? Lin Zhihe also thought so.

You have to make up a decent reason, otherwise it will appear to be lacking in motivation and won't make sense.

"It's fun." Lin Zhihe grinned and shrugged indifferently.

"I just want to know who your lover is," she winked at her lover.

The sturdy man hid behind Concubine He, looking just like a "good woman" who was being teased.

"Just because of this? Do you think I'm stupid? You set up such a series of traps just for this reason?" Hepin looked incredulous.

Lin Zhihe walked up to Concubine He with his hands behind his back, then raised his hand and patted her shoulder, looking at her with a sad face.

"Don't try to understand me. No matter how outrageous the things I do, even murder or arson, my father will cover for me and I won't be affected in any way. What about you?" She showed the arrogant expression of the third generation of an official.

That’s right, I do this just for fun.

This statement seems credible, because Hepin suddenly lost all her aura, as if she had exerted all her strength just to stand there.

"Yeah, how can I compare with you? Your grandfather was a founding general, and I am from a poor family. What can I compare with you?"

It was full of resentment, and also a bit self-deprecating.

Big sister, after coming from a poor family, don’t you want to get involved in palace fighting and have an affair here?

"I won't waste any more time talking to you. Go tell the Queen that I didn't push Jingyi away and give me back my freedom." Lin Zhihe turned from passive to active.

Then he glanced at Liu Li again, "Give it back to me too."

Hepin was like a spent force, barely summoning her energy to listen to Lin Zhihe, and then asked in disbelief, "No more?"

"No more."

"No other requests? Did you really go around in such a big circle just to see my..." She looked at the burly man guiltily.

Lin Zhihe nodded and gave her an affirmative look, "Yes. Now that I've seen it, I think it's just like that."

Other athletes are brave and resourceful, but he is different. Maybe his brain and abdominal muscles are reversed.

Nothing more.

This comment seemed to hurt the strong man, and he suddenly appeared from behind Concubine He, flexing his muscles.

"Go back" Hepin said concisely.

"Let's go, please see me off." Lin Zhihe said this and turned to leave.

It is now late at night and the temperature is very low.

The two people walked one after the other, and neither of them spoke.

The occasional chirping of cicadas is particularly clear.

"It's in my hands again." Lin Zhihe stopped and looked back at Liu Li.

There was no change on Liu Li's face, she looked as stern as usual.

I used to think he was just calm, but now it seems he is pure insidious.

"Hey, don't look so deadpan. I saved your life." Lin Zhihe looked at him with interest with a playful look on his face.

"How does it count as saving my life? You're the one who's forcing me to do things I don't want to do." Liu Li's voice was calm and emotionless.

"You just took refuge with Concubine He. She treats you as her confidant in order to keep you stable. When the dust settles after a while, you will be the first to die." Lin Zhihe gestured at his neck with her hand.

After hearing this, Liu Li finally showed some reaction. His gloomy face finally relaxed and he said with an understanding look, "I have my own solution."

"You know you still..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Zhihe figured it out. Liu Li was such a smart man, he would definitely think of the principle of "the dog is eaten after the rabbit is dead".

He had to do it even if it meant taking risks, and save himself a way out while doing it.

He really wanted her to die, she could see it clearly.

This aroused her curiosity. What kind of grudge did the original owner have with Liu Li that made it so serious?

If you have time, you should ask.

"Go back and cherish your free time. See you in Zhuniao Palace in a few days."

Lin Zhihe stood under the gold-painted plaque of the Vermillion Bird Palace, winked at Liu Li, then opened the door and entered the courtyard.

Although she would not take revenge on Liu Li, she still wanted to scare him.

Who made him accuse her of pushing the child into the water the first time he saw her, and then instigate Concubine He to kill her the second time?

Damn the original owner, now that you are gone, I am the one who has to bear all the pain!

It's me who is carrying the burden!

When she took off her clothes, she found that her palms were full of sweat, her back was completely wet, and her underwear was sticking to her body.

Fortunately, she had an outer coat to cover it up, otherwise her embarrassment, fear and terror would be clearly visible.

It can be said that we played a game against the odds today. Lin Zhihe dragged his heavy body and thought as he walked.

Her limbs seemed to have been detached, and she had no strength at all. She was able to walk only with the support of her spirit.

Her "suspicious and clever" maid was sleeping on her bed with her legs spread out, with regular breathing and slight snoring. Lin Zhihe had reason to suspect that Xiao Taohong might have snot bubbles from sleeping.

Fortunately, her bed was big enough, so even though Xiao Taohong took up most of the space, there was still a place for her.

As soon as she lay down on the bed, she felt a numbness in her brain, as if someone wearing white gloves was removing something from her skull bit by bit. Not only her brain, but also her body felt lighter and lighter.

When I got up again, the sun was already high in the sky.

Xiao Taohong sat quietly on a round stool at the head of the bed, fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan.

Seeing Lin Zhihe open her eyes, Xiao Taohong immediately smiled and said, "Miss, I've made you some icy cold watermelon. Would you like to have a bite of watermelon after you wash up?"

Iced watermelon? In ancient times, could you eat iced watermelon on a hot summer day?

“Where did the watermelon come from?”

"The master sent someone to deliver it this morning."

"Did father send the ice here too?" As a concubine of the lowest rank, she should not be able to get any ice.

Xiao Taohong nodded, "Yes, the master remembered that you loved to eat iced watermelon, so he specially asked a eunuch to deliver it to the palace."

It turned out that Xiao Taohong was not exaggerating. Her father really regarded her as a treasure and doted on her so much that he was willing to go to great lengths to make iced watermelon for her.

The original owner's father was also quite strange. He tried every means to send her ice just to let her eat iced watermelon.

But I had to watch her being confined to her home for ten years because she loved getting into trouble, and this confinement was a good thing.

No, your daughter loves to get into trouble, so why are you sending her to the palace?

She couldn't understand the Shangshu's train of thought, but there was something more important waiting for her to do.

Seeing Xiao Taohong's back walking away, Lin Zhihe quickly walked into the study.

Even though she had explained the pros and cons clearly to Hepin, she was still afraid that Hepin might not be clear-headed for a moment, or might kill her on impulse.

She wanted to write all these things in a letter. If anything happened to her, Xiao Taohong could take the letter to find the original owner's father. If that day really came, his "sacrifice" would not have been in vain.

Looking at her own dog-like handwriting, it was simply horrible. She put the letter into the envelope, took the envelope, found a book of medium height on the bookshelf, and put it in the middle of the book.

She looked at the name on the cover, "Notes on Viewing Flowers", and flipped through a few pages. She found that it was a folk storybook, writing about talented men and beautiful women.

Folk storybooks? Isn't this a business opportunity? If she wrote "Empresses in the Palace", "Beauty's Rival in Palace", "Startling by Each Step" and so on into storybooks, the sales would be very high!

Lin Zhihe, who was immersed in reaching the pinnacle of her life, was suddenly interrupted by Xiao Taohong, "Miss? Miss?"

"Oh!" Lin Zhihe agreed and walked into the house.

"Miss, why did you go to the study?" Xiao Taohong stared at Lin Zhihe with her pure big eyes.

"Nothing, just looking for a book to read. I found that the book 'Flower Viewing Notes' is very well written," Lin Zhihe deliberately emphasized, "'Flower Viewing Notes' is really well written, with thoughts and connotations. I'll read it to you when I have the chance."

"Miss, I can read..." Xiao Taohong looked at her innocently.

...

"Miss, are you still turning the soil today?"

Lin Zhihe looked at the chilled watermelon that Xiao Taohong brought over. The watermelon seemed to be emitting a hint of cool air, and the red flesh was obviously ripe. Xiao Taohong placed the emerald green rind on the plate as decoration, and the red and green colors looked very beautiful.

I never thought watermelon was so tempting before!

Lin Zhihe reached out and took a piece of watermelon, "No need to turn the soil today."

Xiao Taohong scratched her head in confusion, looking bewildered, "You're not turning over again?"

"Yes, I won't till the land anymore, and I won't farm the land anymore."

I have become a liberated serf and am now singing.

Hearing that she didn't have to farm, Xiao Taohong became visibly excited, her face full of joy, "I told you, young lady, our master can bring you whatever you want, so why bother farming yourself? I don't know how distressed grandma would be if she saw that your hands were all red from farming."

Did she and the original owner really exchange souls? Has the original owner entered Lin Zhihe's body at this time? Will she get used to modern life and her own era?

"Whether you are used to it or not, go and give me the lesson. It will be worth it for me to clean up one mess after another for you!"
