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

Liu Li was waiting at the door anxiously.

The master only brought Taohong in, so he could only wait at the door of Qianqiu Palace.

They never expected that the emperor would also come to Qianqiu Palace. In order to avoid the emperor's guard of honor, they, a group of servants, could only wait in a remote corner.

As a result, Liu Li became even more anxious.

I don't know whether the master succeeded or not.

Just when I was worried, Taohong came over from afar, supporting her master.

He trotted towards Lin Zhihe, and looked up to see Lin Zhiqiang beside him.

"Greetings to Princess Cheng."

"Get up." Princess Cheng's tone was light, and she seemed a little weak.

"Hey, isn't this the little eunuch you are protecting?" Princess Cheng glanced at him, her tone calm.

Lin Zhihe did not respond, "Second sister, I will go tomorrow, you must take care of yourself."

The three people watched Lin Zhiqiang's figure gradually disappear into the distance, and then they returned home.

"Taotao is sick, so my second sister didn't bring him here." Lin Zhihe looked at Liu Li's puzzled eyes and gave a direct answer.

Liu Li's eyes darkened, but he said nothing. He just followed Lin Zhihe, walking towards the Vermillion Bird Palace step by step.

The moon is setting in the sky.

Liu Li was sleeping on the couch, but she vaguely felt that something was wrong and woke up suddenly.

From afar, I saw a bean-sized candlelight getting closer and closer to his study.

who is it?

The bean-sized candle flame was getting closer and bigger, but it stood politely at the door and didn't come in.

Liu Li took the initiative to open the door, took the candle from the other person's hand and placed it on the table, and wrapped his cloak around the other person.

"It's getting late and the dew is heavy. Why did the master come out wearing only a coat?"

"How do you know it was me?" Through the dim light, one could see the puzzled expression on Lin Zhihe's face.

"You are the only one who can light the lamp and enter the study room openly in the middle of the night." Liu Li smiled inwardly.

"How did you know I was coming? You kept one eye on guard even when you sleep?" Lin Zhihe laughed happily.

Ever since the misfortune happened in his family, his sleep became very light and he was always alert when he went to bed.

But he didn't want to bring up these unpleasant past events. After all, the person opposite him was laughing so happily, and he didn't want to spoil her fun.

"The master's study is an important place, so I have to keep an eye on it."

"Sorry to disturb your sleep." Lin Zhihe looked at him apologetically.

"But I just can't sleep."

Liu Li helped Lin Zhihe sit on the couch. Seeing her suddenly distressed face, her heart suddenly lifted. "Master, what's wrong?"

He heard his own overly anxious and worried voice, and felt embarrassed and hated himself for not concealing it.

"Today's party is a bit strange." Lin Zhihe moved himself towards the couch, curled up into a small ball, and huddled into the quilt.

That quilt was what he covered himself with at night, so it should still have his residual warmth.

Thinking of this, the tips of Liu Li's ears began to burn.

Fortunately, there was only one lamp on in the room, so I could just barely see the man, but couldn't make out the red tips of his ears.

"Why is it strange?" Liu Li put aside his messy thoughts and focused on the main topic.

"It's just a little strange. First, it was Hepin." Lin Zhihe looked up at him, "After the last incident, I had no contact with her, let alone threats. But she suddenly came to my side and picked a fight with me, saying that she had been wronged by me and would not let me have an easy life."

Lin Zhihe stuck out her tongue and summed it up in one sentence, "It's like she's sick."

Liu Li's heart sank for a moment, but she didn't say her guess right away, "What about others? Are there other weird people?"

"Anything slightly abnormal counts." Liu Li added.

"It's not abnormal, it's just that Concubine Li glared at me a few times, probably because I suggested a gathering to the Queen."

Liu Li's mood became even more complicated, but she didn't show it on her face, "Then the Queen gave you her old clothes in front of all the concubines?"

"Yes." Although Lin Zhihe was puzzled by Liu Li's sudden mention of this, he answered quickly.

"What's wrong?"

Liu Li sighed deeply, not knowing where to start.

"Princess He is from Concubine Li's faction, so she came here to speak harshly, not because of Guard Zhan, but because of Concubine Li."

Lin Zhihe was even more confused. "I don't even know Concubine Li. Why would she come to pick a fight with me because of Concubine Li?"

"Li Guifei and the Queen are two different factions. This is not only about competing for favor, but also about the undecided position of the Crown Prince."

"The position of crown prince?" Lin Zhihe repeated subconsciously.

Liu Li nodded and gave her some time to buffer. "The Queen and Imperial Concubine Li have been at odds with each other for a long time. It can even be said that they are as hostile as fire and water. You have been getting close to the Queen recently, so Imperial Concubine Li directly labeled you as the Queen's side. Hepin is making things difficult for you just to please Imperial Concubine Li."

"Is it possible that the child of these two people can become the crown prince?" Lin Zhihe seemed to have figured out the key points.

"The eldest prince born to the queen is still leading the Yan family army to fight at the border." Liu Li suddenly remembered that Lin Zhihe might not remember the Yan family army, so he reminded: "The previous leader of the Yan family army was Yan Yikui, who is your eldest sister's father."

Lin Zhihe suddenly realized, her eyes sparkling, "So, even though I haven't been close to the Queen recently, because of the relationship between my elder sister and the eldest prince, I will be classified as the Queen's side by Concubine Li."

"Not really." Liu Li shook his head.

The spark that Lin Zhihe had finally ignited was suddenly extinguished by Liu Li's bucket of cold water, and a look of frustration appeared on his face.

Liu Li quickly spoke to comfort him: "Master, if you can think this way, it is naturally nine out of ten reasonable."

"What about the remaining one point?" Lin Zhihe's face did not look very good.

"That's because you don't know that Concubine Li gave birth to the second prince, Prince Cheng."

"Oh, King Cheng."

"What? Become a king?" Lin Zhihe widened his eyes.

If disbelief can be graded, then Lin Zhihe has probably reached the maximum level.

The body that was originally curled up suddenly sat up straight, with its mouth open, and after a long time it uttered a few words softly.

"You mean, the eldest prince born by the queen has been fighting at the border, and the Duke of Chu is on the side of the eldest prince. My father married my eldest sister to the Duke of Chu."

"Concubine Li gave birth to the second prince, and my father married my second sister to the second prince, and she became Princess Cheng."

"No matter which of them inherits the throne in the future, my father is definitely an emperor. How can my father...eat and take..."

"In order to bet more accurately, or because his double-betting behavior made the emperor angry, my father simply sent me to the palace. Is that right?" Lin Zhihe murmured.

This sentence surprised Liu Li. He never expected that this somewhat careless and indifferent person in front of him could react so quickly.

Seeing Lin Zhihe staring at him, expecting his answer, Liu Li could only nod.

"We, the servants, dare not speculate on Minister Lin's thoughts, but we all think so privately."

"He can eat and take it at the same time. He is really amazing."

"So, today in Qianqiu Palace, the Queen deliberately asked me to change into her clothes in front of everyone. In fact, she was telling Concubine Li that I was a member of the Queen's party..." Lin Zhihe finally realized it this time.
