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

Liu Li looked at Lin Zhihe who was sitting stiffly on the chaise longue and felt that something was wrong.

This expression of sadness, sorrow and disbelief on the face of the stubborn and willful Lin Zhihe was very incongruous. Not only incongruous, but even a little impossible.

Lin Zhihe has never cared about other people's lives. He will do anything to achieve his goals. He would never feel so helpless.

While he was still thinking, Lin Zhihe's tears fell like beads, and one drop happened to hit his hand.

He looked at the oval tear at the base of his thumb and suddenly had a strange feeling.

"Master, what happened to you? Don't scare me and Taohong." He took the handkerchief from Taohong's hand, wiped away the tears on Lin Zhihe's face, and ordered Taohong: "Go get the imperial physician."

"No need to call the imperial physician." Before Taohong could react, Lin Zhihe stopped her and said, "No need to call the imperial physician. You two go out and leave me alone for a while." There was despair in his tone, as if he didn't even have the strength to speak.

Taohong looked at him, then at Lin Zhihe, and for a moment she didn't know what to do, so she could only stay where she was.

"go out."

Liu Li and Tao Hong didn't dare to disobey and could only go out.

The two of them walked out of the study, closed the door, and stood on the left and right of the study door guarding it, like two door gods.

Taohong winked at herself and asked him what was wrong.

He shook his head, telling her he didn't know.

Looking through the crack in the door, I found Lin Zhihe sitting on the couch, motionless.

The two of them stood there for nearly an hour, but Lin Zhihe never came out.

"We can't go on like this, just sitting there motionless." Taohong rubbed her hands nervously, her eyes wishing they could go through the door and onto Lin Zhihe.

"So what do you think?" Although Liu Li was a little anxious, he was no match for Tao Hong.

Taohong pointed at him and said, "You go in and let the lady eat."

...

Liu Li walked from one end of the door to the other end of Taohong, looked inside, and lowered his voice: "Why should I go to invite the master? Why don't you go?"

"The lady is partial to you!" Taohong began to feel indignant when she spoke of this, "Have you forgotten how much she loves you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the little bit of sympathy and concern in his heart was completely shattered, and he calmed down immediately.

"The master loves you more. You see how affectionately she calls you, Little Taohong. If you go and ask her, she will definitely not be angry."

"No way, the lady obviously loves you more. I only called you Xiao Taohong that after she lost her memory. I never called you that before," Taohong muttered.

Liu Li leaned down slightly and looked at Tao Hong, "If you don't dare to go, I won't go either. The master may be ready in a while." After saying that, he crossed his arms and began to watch the fun.

"You..." Taohong was furious, but she didn't dare to shout out loud. She just glared at Liu Li.

Liu Li stood in front of the door, looking at his ears, nose, mouth and heart, not wanting to pay attention to Tao Hong.

Suddenly, a young eunuch in plain clothes appeared in front of him and said, "Liu Li, I have been calling you outside the door for a long time, why didn't you answer?"

It turned out to be Eunuch Zhang.

Eunuch Zhang is the person in charge of the imperial kitchen. Last time, I asked him to "take care" of the meals in the Vermillion Bird Palace.

Liu Li looked at the food boxes in Eunuch Zhang's hands and guessed that he was here to deliver the imperial meal.

As a person in charge, why would he personally deliver the food?

Probably he came to see how he was doing. After all, he had just taken care of Madam Lin a few days ago, and after a few days he returned to the Vermillion Bird Palace.

Before I knew it, it’s already lunch time?

She barely ate anything in the morning, and now she's sitting there until noon. She should...

Liu Li shook her head and cursed herself secretly: Why should I sympathize with her? Have you forgotten how she treated you before? Did you really believe her when she said she had lost her memory?

He took the food box from Eunuch Zhang, and his hand suddenly felt heavy. He put on a smile and said, "Please trouble Eunuch Zhang to come here in person. I hope everything is fine."

After hearing this, Eunuch Zhang also put on a smiling face, said nothing, just nodded and turned away.

He looked at the food box in his hand, then at Tao Hong who was staring eagerly, and finally spoke: "Master, it's noon, time to eat."

No one answered.

He was about to take the food box and leave, but when he saw Tao Hong's threatening eyes, he could only add: "Master, even if you only eat a few bites!"

"Get out! I don't want to eat!" Lin Zhihe answered very straightforwardly.

"Okay!" Liu Li answered very happily.

He picked up the food box and looked at Taohong with a smile: "Master doesn't want to eat it, this good thing can't be wasted, let's eat it together."

This disgusting remark was met with the expected roll of the eyes. Tao Hong almost spit on him. Her eyes turned red with anxiety. "Eat it yourself, you heartless person."

After hearing this, Liu Li suddenly felt refreshed, as if all the meridians in his body were unblocked, and he felt much more comfortable than before.

"You're really good at judging people!" After saying this, Liu Li turned around and left with the lunch box.

He staggered to the servants' room.

The lower room was for servants like him. He usually ate and slept here with Taohong and several servants from the Vermillion Bird Palace.

However, Taohong has been living and eating with Lin Zhihe recently, so it seems that she will not be seen in the next room.

I opened the food boxes one by one, and before I could see what the dishes were, the aroma had already wafted out.

There are three vegetarian dishes, two meat dishes and one soup in it, which is the standard meal for a lady.

Although ladies were only one rank higher than their servants, the quality of the food was far superior to that of their servants.

The dishes in front of me are glossy, the vegetarian dishes look fresh and tender, the pork elbows are cooked to be crystal clear, and the whole room is filled with the aroma of food, which makes people's appetite grow.

He took out chopsticks from the lunch box, put a few chopsticks of stewed ham pork elbow into the bowl, added a few chopsticks of fried wolfberry sprouts, and ate the combination of meat and vegetables with the rice in the bowl in big mouthfuls.

Because he ate too fast and felt a little choked, he quickly took out the shrimp ball and Chinese cabbage soup from the food box and took a few sips before he could swallow the food in his mouth.

This imperial meal was not as delicious as he had imagined. The cabbage soup was a little bland, the ham and pork elbow seemed undercooked, and the stir-fried wolfberry sprouts were a little salty...

After looking at the dishes and chopsticks next to him, he subconsciously looked out the window.

The lower room was remote and close to the backyard. There was an open space outside the window and there was no attractive scenery, but he just wanted to look outside.

He restrained himself and suppressed himself, telling himself not to let his thoughts wander, not to think about things he shouldn't think about, and not to worry about people he shouldn't worry about.

"Let's eat." Liu Li muttered to himself in the room, picked up the chopsticks again, and picked up a few more pieces of food.

After having a good meal and a good drink, Liu Li began to think about what to do to divert his attention. Now the furniture in the room could be counted on one's fingers, and the small couch for them to rest was neatly placed there, so there was really nothing to do.

Otherwise, wash the tea set!

He picked up the tea set and took a look. The bowl was cracked, a large piece of the lid was missing, and even the glaze was cloudy, making it impossible to tell the original color of the bowl.

Liu Li sighed. See, it turns out that the life of a servant is not easy.
