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

Lin Zhihe widened his eyes and stared at Liu Li without blinking, unable to believe what was happening.

As an emperor, shouldn't he be angry when he sees his ministers engaging in corruption? How could he tolerate their corruption?

Just watch them eat your money?

It makes absolutely no sense!

"The Sacred Heart is hard to predict. This is not something you and I can guess."

Although Liu Li said that the emperor's heart was unpredictable, her face did not show that. She almost said, "If you ask me another question, I will tell you."

Lin Zhihe also cooperated very well and immediately asked: "Who is our relationship? Tell me about it!"

Liu Li immediately took advantage of the situation and began to explain with a stern face: "The emperor is not unaware that the Qu family embezzled the repair funds. Not only does he know, he also knows that no matter who is in charge of the repairs, they will embezzle, so he doesn't want to intervene."

"Of course the Qu family also knew that the emperor turned a blind eye, but they didn't expect that the emperor would have murderous intentions towards them."

Yes, in this feudal dynasty, the rise and fall of a family depends entirely on the emperor.

If the emperor can tolerate this grain of sand in his eyes, it doesn't matter if he takes things by force or plunder; but if the emperor can't tolerate this grain of sand in his eyes, then all his past will be revealed.

In essence, it's all his own fault, so there's nothing to regret about it.

If you think about it this way, isn’t the Lin family just another Qu family?

The emperor could tolerate the Lin family for the time being, so he used the Lin family as a murder weapon to deal with the fifth prince's mother's family.

Either tomorrow or next year, the emperor will not tolerate the Lin family and will find another family to deal with them.

I'm afraid he will bring the second prince along.

The unpredictable Holy Heart was like a huge bell being struck, and its echo continued to echo in Lin Zhihe's mind.

“As long as the Lin family is here, no matter whether there are problems with the Mercy Hall project or not, there will definitely be problems.” Lin Zhihe suddenly figured out the key points and made a summary.

Liu Li nodded, "That's right. In Minister Lin's eyes, this is a good opportunity to overthrow the Fifth Prince."

With the fifth prince's death, the second prince's chances of succession to the throne have increased.

At this point, Lin Zhihe himself is not sure whether the emperor really intends for the fifth prince to take the throne?

Is he doing this to eliminate possible relatives in advance or does he really want the fifth prince...

Lin Zhihe raised her eyes and found that Liu Li was looking at her intently, almost without blinking.

She was a little shy, lamenting her own lack of ambition, and changed the subject, "Let me tell you two stories."

Liu Li nodded, sat down, and looked up at her.

"A long, long time ago, there was a concubine named Lady Gouyi. Lady Gouyi was fair-skinned and beautiful, and the emperor loved her very much. Later, Lady Gouyi gave birth to a boy. The emperor liked this boy very much and wanted her son to be the emperor. However, the emperor was afraid that Lady Gouyi, a foreign relative, would bring disaster to the country, so he ordered Lady Gouyi to be executed in advance."

"And just like that, a beautiful woman passed away." Lin Zhihe stared at Liu Li, "Does this story sound familiar to you?"

Liu Li's eyes turned slightly, and she understood instantly, nodding meaningfully.

Seeing that Liu Li understood it immediately, Lin Zhihe was not surprised at all. Instead, he scratched his head, because what she said next was more "mysterious".

"Then let me tell you another story. It says that the wheel of history keeps rolling forward, and one cannot step into the same river twice. Do you understand this?"

This time, Liu Li took a long time to react, and turned her head slightly to show her side face to Lin Zhihe.

He has a high brow peak and a very straight nose, which looks like a Himalaya from the side.

Finally, Liu Li shook his head.

Lin Zhihe sighed secretly. It was not his fault that he did not understand. She had indeed explained it too complicatedly. Not to mention him, even if she called over a philosophy student from the 21st century, he would probably be able to barely understand her nonsense.

"I mean, things are always changing, so there is always the saying that the longer the night, the more dreams there are."

This time Liu Li understood, but she didn't understand why Lin Zhihe suddenly brought this up.

"What do you think is possible? The emperor originally wanted to clear out his foreign relatives in advance, but suddenly became angry with the Qu family's actions, so he simply wiped out the Qu family and the fifth prince at once?" Lin Zhihe frowned and looked at Liu Li.

Liu Li was a little confused at first, probably because he didn't understand the meaning of "take down the whole pot", but it only took him a moment to figure it out.

"The possibility that the master mentioned is not impossible."

"The emperor's mind is hard to predict. I hope that good things will happen to the Fifth Prince. I also hope that he will not be involved too much in the affairs of the Qu family, otherwise..." Liu Li paused and did not continue.

Yes, I hope this little Wuzi has nothing to do with the dirty deeds done by the Qu family, otherwise, no matter how lucky a person is, he will not be able to withstand the emperor’s wrath.

Unless he rebels.

The more Lin Zhihe thought about it, the more worried he became, and he couldn't sit still.

She winked at Liu Li and said, "Go find someone to call Xiao Wuzi over to me."

She had to get to the bottom of it today.

The fifth prince soon appeared in the Vermillion Bird Palace and knelt upright and respectfully in the inner hall.

Lin Zhihe looked at the tiny child and felt a little worried - such a child, at most, was a little thoughtful, would he be involved in things like embezzling repair funds?

"Mother...Mother?"

I don’t know how many times the Fifth Prince called out, but Lin Zhihe finally came back to his senses after hearing the first call.

She stared at the Fifth Prince without blinking, words on the tip of her tongue but she couldn't come out.

"you…"

"The emperor has issued an order for the Court of Justice to conduct a thorough investigation of the Qu family." Lin Zhihe looked outside.

In early autumn, the wind suddenly blew, shaking the fragile trees and blowing up a gust of fallen leaves.

Lin Zhihe looked at the rootless fallen leaves floating in the air, swaying in all directions with the wind.

"Did the Qu family do things cleanly?" Lin Zhihe directly pointed out the issue.

The fifth prince looked innocent and confused, "Son, don't you know what mother is talking about?"

Still pretending at this time? Lin Zhihe felt a little funny.

He really has the appearance of an emperor. He remains calm even when Mount Tai collapses in front of him and he remains unperturbed even when the Yellow River bursts its banks.

"This matter can be big or small. If you are implicated, I will help you clean it up." Lin Zhihe tried his best to show patience and sincerity.

“As for the affairs of Wuyang Mountain, the people of Wuyang Mountain will naturally take care of them. It won’t affect me, let alone my mother.” The Fifth Prince’s face was firm, with some ruthlessness and determination.

People from Wuyang Mountain...

It’s Concubine Xi!

What does this child mean?

Every time his emotions fluctuated, Lin Zhihe would subconsciously look at Liu Li. This seemed to have become a habit.

Liu Li was also a little shocked, but she didn't show it on her face. She just raised her eyes slightly and glanced at the Fifth Prince, as if approving.

What the Fifth Prince meant was that if anything happened, the Imperial Concubine Xi, who prayed for the country, would shoulder the burden and clear the Fifth Prince's name.

Good boy, even if he made a huge mistake, there is still a living Concubine Xi to take the blame for him.

"I feel relieved when you say that. Please kneel down and bow." Lin Zhihe waved his hand.

"Mother, there is one more thing..."
