King Cheng had a very smooth life in the past.

Suddenly something happened that didn't go his way, and he felt like he had something stuck in his throat.

As a prince, there was no way he would allow himself to hold his breath.

So he chased after him again.

He stopped Lin Zhihe, but he didn't use his hands. Instead, he used his body to block Lin Zhihe's way.

"I came out all the way to say happy birthday to you, and this is your reaction?"

"Did I say thank you?" Lin Zhihe's face still looked unhappy.

"I just left the court, and I have already talked about the matter in Changyuan Palace..." Realizing that he had said too much, he stopped talking hastily and turned his face away. "I am telling you, playing hard to get will not work on me. You'd better not..."

Lin Zhihe's patience was completely exhausted. She first looked around carefully to make sure her second sister was not around, and then she started to speak: "You asked me to stay away from you, so I stayed away from you. Isn't this exactly what you want? Why are you being crazy here?"

"I just want you to look distant on the surface, but I came here specially to wish you a happy birthday, please don't be ungrateful, okay?" He shook his sleeves and said, "If Taotao is like you in the future, I will..."

"You are sick!" Lin Zhihe interrupted quickly and looked around guiltily.

Fortunately, there were only a few servants cleaning in the distance, and their conversation could not be heard due to the distance.

"Is this something you can say?" Lin Zhihe glared at King Cheng fiercely.

King Cheng also knew that he had spoken without restraint, and there was uneasiness on his face.

I don’t know why, but as long as the three of them stood in the same space, he would involuntarily think of her, Taotao’s mother.

These days it's even harder to control.

"King Cheng, I'll return your words to you now. Look down at your own identity. You are not afraid of death, but I am. I cannot die here without knowing why."

This time, Lin Zhihe finally got rid of Cheng Wang.

It would be fine if everyone in the Lin family had problems, but now everyone who has anything to do with the Lin family is starting to go crazy.

She was walking and getting angry, and she bumped into someone without noticing.

"Who is it?" Lin Zhihe looked up unhappily, but saw a cold and pale face.

The other party quickly pulled Lin Zhihe's arm and asked, "Master, are you okay? But where did you get hurt?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Lin Zhihe adjusted his tone and put his hand on Liu Li's shoulder. "Is it okay?"

"My slave has thick skin and flesh, so it won't break!"

Hearing the words “thick-skinned and thick-fleshed”, Lin Zhihe couldn’t hold it back and laughed out loud, “How can you be thick-skinned and thick-fleshed? Your little face is as cute as Xiao Taohong’s.”

The hand on his shoulder pinched it instead, "Although this body is a lot thicker than before, it's just that."

Lin Zhihe laughed, and Liu Li laughed too.

He walked around to the right of Lin Zhihe and walked side by side with Lin Zhihe. "Master was unhappy just now, but what happened?"

The smile suddenly disappeared and turned into a long sigh.

"Minister Lin asked me why I was close to the Queen and why I pawned the jewelry he gave me. He asked me what I was planning." Lin Zhihe looked at Liu Li helplessly.

Liu Li was a little surprised at first, but quickly calmed down. The dazzling sunlight did not bring any warmth to his fair face, but made it colder.

"He actually knew." There was still some surprise in Liu Li's tone.

"There are no secrets in the harem. With so many eyes, openly and secretly, who can be kept in the dark?"

"What's more, he is Minister Lin who cares about his daughter very much." Lin Zhihe said with some self-mockery.

Not far ahead was the grandmother's inner courtyard. The two of them stepped onto the stairs and slowed down their pace tacitly.

Originally, Lin Zhihe was only focused on finding something and trying to travel back in time.

In the eyes of outsiders, it was not the case at all. She first eliminated Concubine Xi in order to surrender, and then became very close to the Empress.

This clearly shows that people have already started to take sides and create opportunities for the eldest prince.

In this world, what you do is not important, what others think of you seems to be more important.

"Minister Lin thinks you are interfering in the fight for the throne?" Liu Li expressed his guess.

"He didn't say it. He just warned me first."

"He only knew that something was wrong with me, but he couldn't be sure that I was really on the Queen's side, so he came here to do something ambiguous."

After walking a few steps, they reached the inner courtyard. Both of them shut up at the same time and stopped discussing these things.

Lin Zhihe put on a smiling face, and Liu Li also tried not to look so stern.

There were not many people in the inner courtyard. Grandmother went back to rest. My eldest sister and Duke Chu probably went out for a walk. I didn't know where my second sister and Taotao went.

Lin Zhihe took Liu Li and Xiao Taohong and hurried back to his old room to look for the third page of the secret book.

According to the original owner's previous habit, he would definitely start from the study.

Although Xiao Taohong didn't know what they were looking for, she cooperated and provided information.

She brought the two people to the study and pointed to the bookshelf, "Look, it's right there."

Following the direction of Xiao Taohong's hand, Lin Zhihe saw nothing but books.

She finally understood what "vast as the sea and smoke" meant, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was the sea.

"No, did I love reading so much before?" She casually flipped through the books on the bookshelf, and then looked at the densely packed books around her that were like an overwhelming sea.

The ocean of knowledge is rising, and in the next second Lin Zhihe will be washed onto the beach by the tide.

Xiao Taohong was embarrassed and spoke haltingly, "Miss, you used to be more interested in buying books."

Liu Li also had a headache looking at these books. I had heard that the eldest daughter of the Lin family was famous for her poetry and prose, and the most mentioned thing about Lin Zhihe was that she was beautiful.

I didn’t expect that Lin Zhihe also had so many books.

"Taohong, there are too many of these. Do you still remember what book our master used to read frequently? Or what type of book it was?" Liu Li decided to highlight the key points for Taohong.

Xiao Taohong suddenly became cheerful, "Miss, you didn't read books before!"

It's just buying without looking.

"At most, I can just copy some calligraphy!" Xiao Taohong added.

Liu Li's eyes lit up, and she looked at Lin Zhihe and repeated, "Copy the post!"

Lin Zhihe's eyes lit up as well, and he looked at Liu Li, "What does copying a letter mean?"

...

After Liu Li's explanation, Lin Zhihe finally understood what "Lian Tie" was. It turned out to be a copybook of calligraphy.

"What posts do you usually copy? Where do you put the finished posts?"

Xiao Taohong led them to one of the bookcases and raised her chin, "I put them all here."

Lin Zhihe quickly began to search, reading page by page, fearing that he had missed something.

"Is there?" Lin Zhihe finished flipping through his own half and knew in his heart that there probably wasn't any, but he still placed his hope on Liu Li.

He put the last page of calligraphy back on the bookshelf and shook his head, "No."

"Whose post is this, Master?" Liu Li hesitated for a long time and finally spoke.

Although the characters in this calligraphy are vigorous and powerful, the strokes are not as smooth as flowing water. At most, they are mediocre. It is obvious that it is not from a famous artist.

"I don't know." Xiao Taohong shook her head innocently.

When Lin Zhihe heard Liu Li ask this, he also picked up the post and looked at it carefully. When he couldn't see anything, he put it down again.

"Xiao Taohong, think about it again, besides copying calligraphy, what else did I like to do in the study room before?" Lin Zhihe was unwilling to give up and decided to inspire again.

"Eat snacks and sleep!"

In this respect, the original owner is quite similar to her, neither of them likes to study very much.

Lin Zhihe looked at the mountains and seas of books in the study and began to have a headache. If she and Liu Li were to read through all these books one by one, it would probably take a year or so.

If we let others turn it over, the formation would be exposed.

It’s difficult.
