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

After King Cheng handed the child to Lin Zhihe, he put his hands on his hips and looked at her leisurely.

The little rascal was back in his hands. Lin Zhihe was afraid that he would cry again, so he patted his back and kept stroking him.

Seeing that he showed no signs of crying, she slowly said, "I don't want to know what you have found out, so don't tell me."

King Cheng shook his sleeves, which was his most common way of expressing disdain.

His silent "accusation" did not attract Lin Zhihe's attention. She still looked at Taotao and said, "I just want to advise you not to get into trouble."

King Cheng's complexion improved a little, and his tone softened, "Are you worried about me?"

"No," Lin Zhihe refused decisively, "If I had to force myself to say it, I'm just worried about Taotao."

"It's quite difficult to reopen an old case that's nearly twenty years old. I wish you success." Lin Zhihe imitated the tone of his predecessor and looked at Cheng Wang.

King Cheng stopped being sarcastic at this time and looked at her straight, "Don't you want to know at all? Xiao Wu just asked you to come here to test the king's strengths and weaknesses. Did you find out?"

Lin Zhihe couldn't help but look up at Cheng Wang. It was true that one should look at a man with new eyes after three days of absence!

She didn't expect King Cheng to be so wise, or to show his wisdom to her.

In the past, the two of them were entangled in their past relationships every day, but now that they are down to earth, Cheng Wang seems to be doing a decent job.

It's much more pleasing to the eye than worrying about who loves who or not.

Since King Cheng was talking about serious matters, Lin Zhihe would naturally follow his lead.

She smiled and said, "I came here to take a look, not to be a spy for the Fifth Prince and find out his secrets."

He paused for a moment before continuing, "I'm not very reassured leaving Taotao in your hands. I hope you treat Taotao well."

"I know I have no right to say such things, but if you don't treat Taotao well, I can't do anything about it."

After saying this, without waiting for King Cheng to explain, he stuffed Taotao back into King Cheng's arms and turned away.

Taotao, this fake mother of hers can only help you up to this point. If she can stimulate your father in this way, he will definitely be able to take on the responsibilities of a father.

When a heartless mother tells the father that she has no other choice and clearly shows that she does not want to take responsibility, the father will surely be furious and will decide to raise the child well for her.

After all, that's how it's played out in TV dramas.

If King Cheng doesn't develop according to the TV series, then she really has no choice.

Lin Zhihe turned around and left gracefully, leaving only his back to King Cheng.

When I returned to the inner courtyard, Concubine Li had not come back yet. She was probably still complaining to Lin Zhiqiang about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

It can be seen that Concubine Li also likes Taotao very much and ranks Taotao first.

But now is now, and things will happen later...

She called a maid and said, "Please tell Concubine Li that I have something to do and I will return to the palace first."

The maid was a little panicked and looked at a slightly older woman as if asking for help.

Judging from the woman's appearance, she should be an old lady in Prince Cheng's mansion. She was dressed more gorgeously than the other maids.

The older woman was about to speak, but Lin Zhihe just looked at her coldly and she immediately shut up.

As soon as I returned to the Vermillion Bird Palace, I found that the Fifth Prince was already sitting in the inner courtyard, with Liu Li serving him beside him.

The two of them sat on chairs, no one spoke, holding the teacups in their hands and drinking tea.

Although they didn't say anything, the expressions of both of them were very intriguing and very interesting to watch.

It would be interesting to see two smart people clash.

Lin Zhihe smiled in her heart but didn't show it, imitating Liu Li's cold expression.

Liu Li was the first to see her and quickly stood up, his eyes immediately softened, "The master is back!"

"Mother," the Fifth Prince rarely showed such impatience and anxiety, his eyes drifted in the direction of Lin Zhihe's movement.

"Mother, how is it?" Although it was just a few simple words, the Fifth Prince's eyes were filled with infinite desire.

"Well...how should I put it?" Lin Zhihe greatly underestimated the Fifth Prince's concern about this matter.

"Prince Cheng is indeed investigating Zeng Heng's case."

The Fifth Prince stared at Lin Zhihe with his big watery eyes, expecting Lin Zhihe to continue speaking.

Lin Zhihe spread his hands and said, "It's gone."

It was rare that the Fifth Prince not only showed his joy and anger on his face, but he even seemed to want to curse.

"Didn't you ask me to find out if King Cheng was investigating? I found out. King Cheng was indeed investigating. You don't want me to ask him what he found out, do you?"

"How about I take you directly to his study and you question him face to face?"

Lin Zhihe's sarcasm sobered up the Fifth Prince a little. He suppressed the emotions on his face and turned into the little adult who was difficult to see through.

"Thank you very much, mother." The fifth prince bowed and expressed his gratitude in the usual way.

Then he looked at her deeply, "Mother, don't you want to know why I am curious about this case?"

Lin Zhihe shook his head, "I'm not curious."

curiosity kills the cat.

Out of curiosity, she could ask Liu Li to help her investigate, but she must not let King Cheng and the Fifth Prince know about it.

The Fifth Prince never expected Lin Zhihe to answer like this, and he stood there feeling a little awkward.

"Mother doesn't care what you want to do. Just tell me if you need anything." Lin Zhihe smiled warmly.

He was the one who found Huaiqing, so he deserved all the benefits.

"The son thanks his mother."

Looking at the fifth prince's back, Liu Li slowly stood up from his seat and walked to Lin Zhihe.

"Interesting..." Liu Li smiled sinisterly as usual, with the corners of his mouth curved.

"Yes, both of them are suddenly interested in Zeng Heng. If Zeng Heng knew about this, would he be happy or helpless?"

Liu Li's gaze fell from the Fifth Prince's back to Lin Zhihe, "Whether he is happy or helpless, it has nothing to do with us. Now we should find Huai Qing and ask him when he can activate the Soul Restoration Technique."

These words came out of Liu Li's mouth, which were both firm and decisive, and made Lin Zhihe feel a little guilty.

Activate the soul-resurrection technique?

That's right, she has always been eager to activate that formation and restore everything.

but…

She looked at Liu Li, and seeing his somewhat stern face, she felt a little strange in her heart.

So much time has passed, and I don’t seem to be that eager to go back.

And if she went back, she wouldn't be able to see Liu Li anymore.

Liu Li is nowhere to be seen.

If she could not see this uncertain face, if she did not have such a meticulous and vengeful person, her life would be...

It sounds bright.
