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

Lin Zhihe lowered his brows and waited for the fifth prince's next words.

The fifth prince hesitated a little, lowering his head to think.

Lin Zhihe didn't rush him and waited for him quietly.

She tilted her head slightly and looked at Liu Li.

Liu Li had a smile on her face, waiting for the Fifth Prince to speak as if she was watching a good show.

Sometimes, Lin Zhihe would have an illusion that Liu Li admired the Fifth Prince very much.

They are both unscrupulous and forbearing, but no one knows what the Fifth Prince is like when he is angry, and whether he is as cruel and ruthless as him.

The atmosphere was very quiet. The smoke of incense was burning, circling around the Fifth Prince, as if to encircle him.

The fifth prince finally spoke, "Mother..."

"Mother, the Second Prince needs your help with a small favor." The Fifth Prince struggled for a long time and finally uttered a few words.

Second prince?

Lin Zhihe and Liu Li exchanged glances in tacit understanding, then quickly separated and both looked at the Fifth Prince.

"The Second Prince has recently reopened the case of Zeng Heng's treason. This matter involves many people. My son wants mother to visit a relative in the Second Prince's mansion to see what he thinks about this case." The Fifth Prince frowned and looked very gloomy, as if a typhoon was about to blow.

Zeng Heng?

Liu Li quickly lip-synced, "Huai Qing..."

Zeng Heng is Huai Qing's father?

This incident happened nearly twenty years ago. For whom is the Second Prince reopening this case at this time?

No, Lin Zhihe looked at the fifth prince.

The fifth prince was only twelve years old. He was not yet born when Zeng Heng’s property was ransacked, and even his mother Qu had not entered the palace. Why did he care about this?

Lin Zhihe cast a suspicious look at the Fifth Prince, examining him from head to toe.

The fifth prince avoided Lin Zhihe's burning gaze and said in a weak voice, "Mother, this matter is of great importance, but it is difficult to explain clearly. I will tell you the whole story next time."

After saying that, he kowtowed heavily on the ground again.

The more the Fifth Prince acted like this, the more curious Lin Zhihe became.

But the child had already said so, and she was also very curious about why the Second Prince dug up what happened in the Huaiqing family, so she agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, I'll let you know when I have news, and you can tell me then."

The second prince left with a worried look on his face, leaving Liu Li and Lin Zhihe behind.

"Zeng Heng is Huai Qing's father?"

"Yes."

"Why did the Second Prince bring this matter up again? The Second Prince wasn't even born when the incident happened, right?" Lin Zhihe narrowed his eyes slightly.

"No. Why did he bring up something that happened so long ago?"

scratching his head.

Lin Zhihe's mind was full of question marks and he couldn't help but scratch his head.

The Emperor is investigating the Qu family's renovation of the Mercy Hall, while the Second Prince is investigating Zeng Heng's case of treason. Is this a coincidence?

The situation was becoming increasingly blurry and she couldn't see clearly at all.

"It is indeed not appropriate to go to the Second Prince's residence right now, but Master, you have already promised the Second Prince." Liu Li tilted his head and looked at Lin Zhihe, "Besides, you have already begun to be curious, and I probably can't stop you."

Lin Zhihe's eyes suddenly lit up and he snapped his fingers, "I am indeed curious, and I really can't help it."

Liu Li no longer had a stern face, and was quite cheerful. "So what is the master going to do?"

"I'll go see Lin Zhiqiang by myself..."

"That's definitely impossible!"

"Isn't Concubine Li laughing in the palace every day? Let her follow me to see her daughter-in-law. She will definitely agree."

By then, she will stay with Concubine Li closely, and everything will be safe.

As Lin Zhiqiang's mother-in-law and the biological mother of the second prince, Concubine Li cannot escape responsibility even if something really happened.

"Go ahead and tell Concubine Li and ask her when she's going to visit Lin Zhiqiang."

Liu Li didn't trust others and decided to go on his own. Lin Zhihe continued to stare at the sky.

After a while, Liu Li came back slowly.

Just by looking at his expression, Lin Zhihe knew that the show was about to begin.

"How to say?"

"It happened to be the perfect time. Concubine Li said she would visit in the evening. I asked around and found out that the Second Prince was also in the mansion."

It really happened at the perfect time. Everyone who should be there was there, and no one who shouldn't be there was there.

When Concubine Li and Lin Zhihe stepped into the Second Prince's mansion, they clearly felt that the atmosphere was different.

How can I put it? It was really a scene with loud drums, firecrackers, red flags waving and huge crowds of people...

Full of style.

So every time she comes, she is quiet because no one cares about her...

Looking at Lin Zhiqiang's flattering look, Lin Zhihe couldn't help but hold his forehead and smile bitterly. It turned out that Lin Zhiqiang had this kind of face.

Lin Zhiqiang unconsciously stroked her belly with her right hand, looked at them with a smile on her face, and made a gesture to salute them.

Concubine Li hurriedly took two steps forward and held her, smiling from ear to ear, "Hey, we are all family, why are we going through all this nonsense?"

Lin Zhiqiang immediately stood up and smiled at Concubine Li, "Thank you, mother, for your understanding."

After saying this, he glanced at Lin Zhihe, the triumphant smile on his face and the hint of protest in his eyes were very obvious.

Huh? Me again?

Lin Zhihe complained in his heart: How come the end of the Great Xia Dynasty is Lin Zhihe? The story must end with Lin Zhihe?

Concubine Li and Lin Zhi, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, supported each other, talking and laughing, leaving Lin Zhi alone aside.

Lin Zhihe looked around and was about to say something when suddenly a familiar figure appeared behind him.

The second prince still behaved like a gentleman, with a calm smile on his face all the time.

But there was a hint of bitterness beneath his smile, and his eyes looked tired and lifeless.

Just as Lin Zhihe was looking at the second prince, her eyes suddenly met his.

The tiredness suddenly dissipated, revealing a little light, shining in the darkness, looking at her unaware for a moment.

If Lin Zhiqiang saw this scene, she would probably get angry again.

In order to prevent her from getting angry, Lin Zhihe quickly looked away and looked at Lin Zhiqiang and Li Guifei who were chatting animatedly, and intentionally reminded him - your wife is still there.

The second prince received the hint and rejected her kind reminder, still staring at her.

Concubine Li saw the Second Prince out of the corner of her eye and waved at him hastily, "My son, come here quickly. I'm telling your wife about her pregnancy!"

The second prince walked over slowly, always glancing at Lin Zhihe out of the corner of his eye.

Lin Zhiqiang saw it but pretended not to care and pushed forward her belly which was not yet visible.

"Just now we were talking about Zhiqiang's restless sleep during this pregnancy. Have you asked the imperial physician to take a look? What's the problem? How to treat it?"

The Second Prince was obviously nonchalant, and he suppressed his disdain, "Mother, I've asked the imperial physician to see her, and he prescribed some strengthening medicines. She's getting much better now."

As he said this, Mien looked at Lin Zhiqiang and said, "Don't exaggerate when you see Mother. You're making Mother worry for nothing!"

Concubine Li reached out to stop the Second Prince from speaking, but he spoke too fast and she failed to stop him.

"You child!" Concubine Li's tone was annoyed, but she was not really angry, and her eyes were full of love.

The three of them were having a great time together, which made Lin Zhihe seem out of place.

"What's that sound?" Lin Zhihe suddenly asked.
