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

Lin Zhihe couldn't wait even a second and wanted to go see Huaiqing right away, which surprised the Fifth Prince very much.

"Now?" The fifth prince looked at her long hair that was still loose, a little surprised.

"Now, wait here. I'll put on some clothes and come over."

After saying that, Lin Zhihe pulled Liu Li and quickly walked into the bedroom.

She casually pulled out a coat, and Liu Li took it and quickly helped her put it on.

Liu Li had just buttoned the last button when Lin Zhihe stood up and was about to leave.

"Eh…"

Liu Li picked up a hairpin from the dressing table and handed it to Lin Zhihe.

Lin Zhihe combed her hair twice with her hands, wrapped the hairpin around her hair twice, and then inserted it into her hair, making a simple bun.

After leaving the palace, Lin Zhihe and the fifth prince sat in the carriage, while Liu Li rode a horse and protected them.

The two people looked at each other in the car, but their states were completely different.

Lin Zhihe was extremely anxious and had no way to hide it.

The Fifth Prince was very interested. He did not expect that this person was so important to Lin Zhihe. He looked at her carefully.

"Mother, why are you looking for Taoist Huaiqing?" The fifth prince finally spoke.

Lin Zhihe didn't know how much the Fifth Prince knew. After all, the reason she had lied to the First Prince was "If you have Huaiqing, you will get the throne." If this suspicious Xiao Deng knew about this, there would be another round of testing.

"It's my business."

"Private matter."

I don’t know how much the Fifth Prince believed, he just nodded in understanding.

"Mother, don't you want to know how I knew that?" The Fifth Prince raised his head and looked at her leisurely.

"You just want to tell me that the eldest prince is not in his right mind, and you found him when you were looking for someone!"

Lin Zhihe smiled, very lightly and shallowly, which matched her bare hair and simple elegance, like a lotus emerging from water.

"I already knew he was an empty-headed person. You didn't have to go through so much trouble to tell me."

The Fifth Prince is also an interesting person.

In ancient times, people of his age were neither too old nor too young.

He has a careful mind like an adult and is even smarter than many people.

He lacks a sense of security like a child, and the way he gains a sense of security is to show his presence overtly or covertly, telling himself that he is better than others.

Actually, it is really not necessary.

"To outsiders, you and I are one, mother and son. We rise and fall together. Behind closed doors, we are in the same boat. Calm seas are good, but if there are big storms, we will have to get through it together."

"Don't worry, mother. No matter what the storm is, we will be able to ride it out."

The carriage drove all the way to the villa outside the Fifth Prince's Palace.

This villa is very close to the suburbs, remote and far away from people.

When Lin Zhihe looked up, he seemed to be able to see the fiefdom in the distance. That was the fiefdom of the second prince.

The villa was not as luxurious as Lin Zhihe had imagined. It was simple and quiet, giving a feeling of seclusion from the world.

Lin Zhihe was surprised that the fifth prince had such taste.

There were only two guards standing at the door. They looked very alert and their figures were similar to Liu Li, not as tall and mighty as the eldest prince.

Seeing Lin Zhihe sizing up the guards at the door, the Fifth Prince quickly explained: "They are all masters of the palace, one against ten."

Lin Zhihe complained silently in his heart: Let’s not talk about the feasibility of one against ten. Even if it is really ten, there are only twenty people.

For an important person like Huai Qing, a team of soldiers would be sent to surround the villa with three layers of fences inside and outside to ensure that not even a fly can fly in.

Taoist Huaiqing was just as she remembered him, skinny and ethereal.

There was a pair of sparkling eyes on the wrinkled face, but the eyes were sparkling with cunning light.

His beard is longer than before, but ignoring his eyes, he still looks like an immortal.

Oh and ignore the big swelling on the forehead.

"You..." Lin Zhihe pointed, "What's wrong?"

Taoist Huaiqing made a hand gesture that she couldn't understand, and sighed "Wulian Tianzun", with a long tail sound.

"I told you that there would be a bloody disaster. Look, this is exactly what I had predicted."

At this time, he was still smiling, which made Lin Zhihe so angry that she wanted to punch him twice.

She turned to look at the Fifth Prince, "Xiaowu, please go out first. I want to talk to him alone."

The Fifth Prince looked at Liu Li and found that he had no intention of leaving. He also realized that Lin Zhihe had no intention of letting Liu Li go out, so he could only turn around and leave in disappointment.

When the door closed, Lin Zhihe's fake smile immediately disappeared, and two cold faces turned to Huai Qing.

"Run, why don't you run?" Lin Zhihe was so angry that his teeth were itching.

"Meeting is fate, why would this old Taoist run away!" Huai Qing shook the whisk in his arms and smiled.

This made Lin Zhihe even more angry. She wanted to take out a dagger and let him bleed first to see how long he could keep talking nonsense.

"It seems that you have adapted well here." Huai Qing suddenly spoke.

Lin Zhihe widened her eyes, looking at his relaxed yet confident expression, her heart surging with excitement.

"Did you really perform that soul-restoring technique? You..." Lin Zhihe looked at him and still found it incredible, "Can you perform such an ancient secret technique by yourself?"

Huai Qing didn't like what he heard. He stiffened his neck and stopped pretending to be calm. "Dear believer, please don't look down on me."

Lin Zhihe grabbed Huai Qing's collar with one hand and strangled his neck with the other hand, "I'm not a good believer. I'm an innocent passerby who was affected by the misfortune of you and Lin Zhihe. I'm not even from your dynasty!"

Liu Li was watching from the side and wanted to reach out to stop Lin Zhihe, but found that Lin Zhihe did not have much strength.

The old man just had difficulty breathing and his face turned red, with his eyes slightly rolled up. It seemed that he could still hold on for a while, so he let Lin Zhihe do it.

Lin Zhihe had lost his mind at this time, and like a madman, he used all his strength to pinch Huai Qing's neck. Seeing his breathing getting weaker and weaker, he actually felt a sense of relief in his heart.

"master!"

Liu Li finally took action. He pulled Lin Zhihe away with one hand and took the nearly unconscious Huai Qing with the other hand and put him on the ground.

Only then did Lin Zhihe wake up and realize what he had done. He felt a little regretful and a little surprised. He looked at his hands in disbelief, "I...he won't die..."

"It's not that easy for him to die. His life or death is still in the hands of the master." Liu Li's cold voice echoed in the empty room.

He picked up the kettle on the coffee table next to him, opened the lid and poured the water on Huaiqing's face.

Huaiqing woke up instantly, opened his eyes slightly and looked at the roof.

Liu Li went over again, pulled him up and made him sit back in the chair.

"This is the first time my master has done something like this, so he has no experience."

"But I do it often, so I have a lot of experience. Do you want to tell the truth or give it a try first?"

Liu Li looked like a snake, spitting out its tongue quietly, which made people get goose bumps.

But Huai Qing didn't show any emotion at all, he just glanced at Lin Zhihe.

After a long while, he slowly spoke in a hoarse voice, "You said you are not from this dynasty, what does that mean?"
