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

The original owner's father glanced at Lin Zhihe, his eyes full of doting and love.

Seeing this look, Lin Zhihe straightened his back even more.

Daddy passed Lin Zhihe and knelt before the queen according to etiquette, "Your Highness, Lin Yingchen pays respects to the queen."

The queen didn't put on airs this time. She looked friendly and pointed at the old eunuch next to her, "Quick, help Minister Lin up."

"The Great Xia Dynasty is now facing internal and external troubles, but we all rely on Minister Lin!"

Father Lin, who was about to stand up, immediately knelt down again upon hearing this, and prostrated himself on the ground, "I dare not. Your Majesty is a wise ruler throughout history, and the whole country relies on your majesty's wisdom. I dare not take credit for it."

Now Lin Zhihe finally had some sense of the reality of time travel.

Although the man in front of her was not her father, a man of such age had to endure the Queen's flattery just because of Lin Zhihe, and he had to carefully distinguish himself from her, for fear that being too ostentatious would cause the Emperor's displeasure.

The feudal dynasty killed people, and the life and death of the nine clans was a huge mountain weighing on everyone's heart.

"Minister Lin, please get up quickly. I have no bad intentions. I just said all these out of my feelings." The queen suddenly pretended to be a good person at this time, acting like a virtuous lady.

Father Lin then slowly stood up and stood in the hall.

"Outside men are not allowed to enter the harem without permission, but Minister Lin is different. Minister Lin is a close relative of the emperor. This time, I summoned Minister Lin for no other reason than a family matter that also involves Lady Lin."

The Queen suddenly raised her eyes and stared at Father Lin, "I'm sure Minister Lin has heard about it."

This simple little trap really didn't stump Lin Yingchen. He kept a straight face and bowed to the queen, "Your Majesty, your Majesty is kind and virtuous, and every time you handle a case, big or small, you are praised by the harem and spread among the people. Naturally, I have heard of it."

The meaning is very clear. It was because the Queen made a very good decision that Father Lin heard about it. It was not that Father Lin intentionally inquired into the privacy of the harem.

After this series of flattery, the queen was also turned around and her attitude softened. "I am tired of listening to these empty words. Look, this matter was not handled properly, causing my sister to suffer such injustice."

Father Lin looked at the Queen in confusion, not understanding what he was talking about.

"Hepin, the victim is here, quickly tell Minister Lin what's going on."

Hepin adjusted the direction of her kneeling and repeated the whole story from beginning to end to Lin's father.

Father Lin did not look at Lin Zhihe, but just shook his right hand, and the wide sleeves of his robe rippled like lake water with the movement of his arm.

He bowed again, raising his hands respectfully in front of his chest, "Your Majesty, there may still be some misunderstandings. I know my daughter well. She has been spoiled and arrogant since she was young. I have tried to discipline her, but her mother loved her too much, which is why she developed such a personality."

"Pushing Princess Jingyi into the water is He'er's style. It must have been He'er who did it."

...

Lin Zhihe's straight back collapsed all of a sudden. He had always heard of people cheating their fathers, but he had never heard of his father cheating others. This father Lin was not only a cheat, but a big cheat.

Father Lin's lengthy speech shocked everyone present. Even the Queen stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say.

"But, Concubine He said it was not Lady Lin who pushed her, and I also believe that Lady Lin is simple-minded and would not do such a thing." The Queen finally spoke.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Father Lin made the final conclusion.

"Empress He has always been famous for her benevolence and virtue. She is gentle, respectful, and cares about the harem. She certainly does not want Your Majesty to be troubled by the affairs of the harem and swallow her anger. Please do not swallow such an injustice alone just to protect the harmony in the palace. Please understand." As he said this, he bowed to Concubine He.

Lin Zhihe was confused by all these elegant words. Although she didn’t know what some of them meant, she could generally understand them. The Empress and Hepin both had good personalities, but to her, they were just spoiled and unreasonable…

Hepin had no idea what Minister Lin and Lin Zhihe were up to, and thought something had gone wrong. She looked at Lin Zhihe with fright and her face turned pale.

"It is true that I misunderstood Sister He'er. The maids in my palace have told me everything from beginning to end. If Minister Lin doesn't believe me, I can bring you here and tell him in person."

Not only was Hepin anxious, Lin Zhihe herself was even more anxious. She waved her hand at Hepin, indicating that she herself did not know that Father Lin would suddenly become like this, and everything went according to the original plan.

Her waving of her hand made Hepin even more anxious. Hepin could not understand the gesture, nor could she read Lin Zhihe's thoughts.

Oh my God, not to mention the other people on the field, even Lin Zhihe himself couldn’t understand what Lin’s father was doing. That was a ten-year house arrest, and it seemed that the duck in hand was about to fly away.

In order to prevent this situation from happening, Lin Zhihe knelt and moved towards Lin's father. Just as he was about to open his mouth to explain to Lin's father, he was given a killing look by Lin's father.

Perhaps all fathers in the world are the same when they are angry, or perhaps Lin Zhihe still has the emotional memory of the original owner in her body. In any case, when her father Lin gave her a murderous look, her open mouth closed instantly, not daring to say a word.

Seeing this scene, Hepin's heart was relieved a little.

She spoke again: "Minister Lin, I have investigated this matter clearly. It was indeed the maid in my palace who framed Lady Lin and caused Lady Lin to suffer such injustice. It was my inconsiderateness as an elder sister. As an elder sister, I apologize to Minister Lin and Sister He'er." After that, she kowtowed to Minister Lin.

All the concubines in the harem, regardless of their status, are relatives of the emperor and only enjoy the kowtow of the ministers. No concubine in the harem has ever been seen kowtowing or kneeling to the ministers of the previous dynasty.

Father Lin naturally knew this truth, and he was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and said hurriedly: "Madam Hepin, you must not do this, you must not do this!"

Things have already come to this point with Concubine He, and no one can question the authenticity of the matter anymore.

Seeing that the situation was settled, Lin Zhihe's tense body finally relaxed.

But it was different for Lin's father. His fair face was filled with regret, as if he had suffered a great loss.

Dad, even though you are not my biological dad, what good will it do you to lock me up?

"Your Majesty, even if He'er didn't do this, she must have had such thoughts. It's what people often say, she has the heart of a thief but not the courage. I think she should be confined to her house for a year to let her stop her evil ways."

Do you want to listen to what you are saying?

Seeing that the Queen did not express her opinion, Father Lin thought he was magnanimous and gave in. "Half a year is fine."

Tired, destroy it!

The Queen no longer put on her airs as the mother of the country. Instead, she looked at Father Lin and Lin Zhihe with interest, and said with a smile, "Since she was wrongly accused, how can I ban Sister He'er from leaving? I will immediately issue an imperial decree to lift the ban on the Vermillion Bird Palace."

When the dust settled, Lin Zhihe finally took a deep breath.

Although the journey was bumpy and there were many forks in the road, things actually achieved Lin Zhihe's goal in a twisted and strange way.

It’s a good ending too.
