Lin Zhihe really couldn't walk anymore. His legs were numb and his shoulders were completely stiff, like a piece of wood.

She wanted to tear the concubine's hair apart and take off all the messy jewelry.

But the little adult in front of her was using the opportunity to support her to talk to her about palace fighting, and she really didn't even have a chance to breathe.

Never mind. There was no chance to catch his breath, and the Fifth Prince did nothing wrong.

"How do you know he entered the palace?" Lin Zhihe finally spoke.

"I know everything. My eldest brother returned to the court with great fanfare and brought back the good news of a great victory. Father was very happy." The fifth prince's expression did not change, but his tone was a little hurried.

Lin Zhihe suddenly stopped and stared at the Fifth Prince, "What did you say? Did he come back with such fanfare?"

"Yes, everyone in the palace knows about it. And today, they must have already entered the palace." The fifth prince sounded somewhat helpless.

No wonder the usually calm Fifth Prince was so panicked. This matter might not be that simple.

Duke Yan was always sneaky when he went to the border, and he set up several layers of mazes for fear that others would find out. Why is he coming back now in such a brazen manner?

What about the ones before that?

Lin Zhihe pondered for a moment and found that things had taken a turn. Her identity suddenly reversed from a spectator to a person in the play.

The eldest prince could have come back openly, but he went through so much trouble just to find out who was interested in his whereabouts.

It seemed that they were trying to find out about the eldest prince, but in fact, it was the eldest prince who was trying to find out about them.

In this way, none of those who were observing openly or secretly could escape, especially those like Lin Zhihe who came to ask.

What an obvious move.

Lin Zhihe glanced at the Fifth Prince from the side and discovered that he had probably thought of the same thing, with a faint sense of worry shrouding him.

Lin Zhihe turned her hand over, from being supported by him to holding his hand and comforting him.

The two of them walked for a while, but very slowly, and didn't go very far.

Fortunately, we haven’t gone very far and there isn’t a big deviation.

Suddenly, a large group of people walking towards them caught their attention.

After the enthronement ceremony, the Queen Mother would hold a banquet to congratulate her on her promotion to Imperial Concubine.

The other concubines in the palace should be sitting in Qianqiu Palace at this time. Who would appear here?

Could it be Concubine Li? Or Lin Zhiqiang?

Lin Zhihe thought about it while squinting his eyes and looking into the distance.

After a while, a burly man appeared in front of her.

If converted, he is estimated to be about 1.9 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He has a murderous aura all over his body, and he looks extraordinary at first glance.

The man's eyes were like those of a sharp eagle. Just one look at her seemed as if he wanted to cut off the flesh from her body. Every move was deadly and he pressed on with every step.

Not only was his aura strong, his steps on the bluestone slabs were extremely powerful. How to describe it? There was a vibration five meters away.

This person is...

Lin Zhihe glanced at Liu Li who was standing next to him and asked him with his eyes.

Liu Li noticed the gaze, raised his hand slightly, and pointed with one finger at the thumb of the other hand.

He didn't forget to raise his eyebrows.

What does this mean? Lin Zhihe was a little confused. What does the thumbs-up mean?

Thumbs up... Thumbs up...

She suddenly realized that this couldn't be the eldest prince!

A military commander, strong and sturdy, with a domineering aura, and not very old...

The relationships between these characters are all right!

The eldest prince was getting closer and closer, his eyes fixed on her, seemingly filled with anger.

How to say it, it's like an angry buffalo, mooing.

The more they looked at it, the more similar it looked. Lin Zhihe thought that the eldest prince's head seemed to have horns, and his nose was empty, missing a nose ring.

This nose ring cannot be the crudely made ones made by ordinary people. It should have some patterns or paintings on it. It would be best if some Sanskrit words were written on it to add more mystery.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhihe couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The noise was so loud that all eyes were focused on her.

Feeling like a thorn in the back, Lin Zhihe suddenly remembered that she was now a royal concubine and could put on some airs, so she coughed coldly.

This cough was indeed effective. All the servants around lowered their heads, as if they wanted to stick their heads to the ground, not even daring to breathe.

Everyone around suddenly fell silent.

"Noble Concubine Chen has an extraordinary demeanor and is extraordinary!" The eldest prince said in a cold and sarcastic tone.

What was going on? Were these people bound to some system? Why did any random person come out and mock her?

The fifth prince took a few steps forward and bowed. "Brother, you must have ridden a horse and you must have been exhausted from the journey. Why are you here?"

The eldest prince smiled, a very strange and dangerous smile. "I just met my father. He said that today is the auspicious day for my fifth brother and his mother to reunite. How can I, as his elder brother, not come?"

Well, even more yin and yang. It seems that the eldest prince's yin and yang are engraved in his bones. Whether it is Lin Zhihe or his younger brother, he attacks indiscriminately.

This made her feel better.

The Fifth Prince seemed not to have understood the meaning. He remained respectful and well-behaved, smiling, "This is complicated. I will explain it to you in detail tomorrow. Thank you in advance today!" After saying this, he bowed again.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. The eldest prince couldn't continue to be so cunning towards the smiling fifth prince. He rolled his eyes helplessly and then aimed his eyes at Lin Zhihe.

Oh no, I can’t bring myself to choose her.

"Noble Concubine Chen is really capable. I remember that when I left the palace, you were just a lady. Now, three months have passed, and you have transformed into a noble concubine." The eldest prince looked at her with his sharp eyes again.

But she had already died in his eyes thousands of times, and her bones were crushed to ashes.

"You do have some skills." Lin Zhihe reached out and brushed off her gorgeous clothes, and rolled her eyes at him.

"You..." The eldest prince didn't expect her to admit it directly, and his computer froze.

I guess the subtext in people’s minds is – how can there be such a shameless person!

The shameless Lin Zhihe smiled again and said, "Now that you're done with your madness, it's my turn."

She waved at the eldest prince, motioning him to take a few steps forward. "Alas, my son has been guarding the border for so long that he doesn't like the rules of the palace anymore. He even forgot to greet me when he saw me. People who know that the eldest prince is careless about small matters may think that he is arrogant and unfilial!"

This hat would be a fatal blow to any prince. Apparently, it is also very suitable for the arrogant eldest prince.

His expression suddenly changed, his dark face became even more murderous, his lethality doubled, and it looked like he was going to eat someone in the next second.

Even though veins bulged on his face, he still tried hard to suppress his anger and forced a smile.

He knelt down with a clang, and a rude voice rang out, "Greetings to Concubine Chen."

Before Lin Zhihe could react, he had already stood up and stared at Lin Zhihe.

This look contained a lot, and Lin Zhihe understood it all.

Now they had a grudge against each other. It was better to have a grudge, but what she feared most was not having a grudge.

In this bottomless abyss, with everyone fighting against each other, she is the safest.

If everyone is harmonious, then she will be the one in danger. The Lin family may not keep her, and the fifth prince may not tolerate her.

There was no other way but to muddy the waters.
