Walking out of the study, Lin Zhiqiang's calves were shaking. She couldn't stand for a moment and collapsed to the ground.

Her servant Uncle Gong came over immediately and held her up.

Lin Zhiqiang subconsciously looked around. The servants of the Lin Mansion were all looking straight ahead, as if they didn't notice her loss of composure at all.

With the help of Uncle Gong, she managed to stand firmly, and then gave Uncle Gong a wink, asking him not to support her.

Uncle Gong looked a little hesitant, but he finally obediently took two steps back, but only two steps, and still followed behind Lin Zhiqiang.

Even though her feet felt weak, Lin Zhiqiang still stood straight, not wanting anyone to notice anything, and certainly not wanting to be laughed at by others.

"Let's go back home." Lin Zhiqiang said these four words in one breath.

If there is anything, we can go back and discuss it carefully. Dad is so angry, I'd better not hang around under his nose.

There was some hesitation on Uncle Gong's face, his mouth slightly open, as if he had something to say.

Looking around again, Lin Zhiqiang took a few steps forward and asked in a very low voice: "What's wrong?"

These three concise words were chilling enough to make Uncle Gong feel cold from head to toe in the hottest days of summer.

Knowing that his master was in a bad mood, Uncle Gong knew that he was doomed, but he still had to say it.

He gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and said, "The prince sent a letter from the palace. He will come directly to the Lin Mansion after the court session."

Sweat was already dripping from his forehead, but he didn't dare wipe it off. He stared at Lin Zhiqiang's face without blinking, fearing that she would get furious the next second.

"Are you going back with the prince, or..." Gong Shu said in a weak voice.

Having served in the Lin Mansion for more than twenty years, he has the ability to read people's expressions. Otherwise, he would not have been selected by Lin Zhiqiang from among the many servants and brought to Prince Cheng's Mansion.

Although he was not quite sure what was going on, based on his perception of Lin Zhiqiang's emotions, he knew that Lin Zhiqiang seemed to be particularly concerned about King Cheng returning to the Lin Mansion.

Although the princess restrained herself very well, Uncle Gong, as an old servant who had watched Lin Zhiqiang grow up, could still see the reluctance and unwillingness hidden behind the princess's smiling face after careful observation.

And recently this emotion has become even more intense, even the servants in the palace have noticed it, let alone him.

Uncle Gong held his breath and dared not even move his eyes, for fear of missing an expression of the princess and misunderstanding her meaning.

"We are of the same mind, so naturally we want to go back together."

Lin Zhiqiang put on her princess' smile again, being polite and friendly, yet making people afraid to approach her.

"When the prince arrives, please go to my boudoir to talk first." Lin Zhiqiang turned and left.

Uncle Gong watched Lin Zhiqiang leave, then turned and went to the door to greet the prince.

Lin Zhiqiang sat in her boudoir.

She had lived in this boudoir for more than ten years, and married into the royal palace in her prime years. Everyone would say that she was extremely blessed.

When she got married, the betrothal gifts from King Cheng alone weighed six hundred loads, and the Lin family also prepared six hundred loads of dowry for her, a true ten-mile red wedding.

Just the betrothal cake alone took a lot of thought.

Knowing that she liked the McDonald's made by Chef Xiulian, she went to find Chef Xiulian and asked him to prepare ten loads of it.

Chef Xiulian refused on the spot, saying that ten loads meant he would have to make betrothal cakes non-stop every day except for his sleeping time.

Upon hearing this, Prince Cheng bought the store without hesitation and even rewarded Chef Xiulian with an extra 500 taels of silver.

Chef Xiulian happily kneaded the dough on the spot.

This also became a topic of conversation among the people at that time, and girls all expressed envy and admiration when they mentioned it.

I envy Lin Zhiqiang for having such a good life, and lament why I am not Lin Zhiqiang.

Now thinking about it, it was all an illusion.

I guess the betrothal gifts were all arranged by the servants in Prince Cheng's mansion, and Prince Cheng didn't even ask about it.

If only the illusion could continue forever, she could pretend nothing had happened.

"Princess, are you looking for me?" Cheng Wangren walked into the room with the voice and ran straight towards her.

When Lin Zhiqiang heard King Cheng's voice, her heart warmed up and she felt an inexplicable sense of reliance.

She is now Princess Cheng, the legitimate and only mistress of the Cheng Palace. They are husband and wife, grasshoppers tied to the same rope, and they will go on together hand in hand.

King Cheng walked a few steps towards her. Although he was a little confused, he still maintained his composure and was very noble.

Lin Zhiqiang felt her face burning, probably because it was swollen.

From childhood to adulthood, she had never been slapped by anyone, not to mention that she had released the princess, and no one dared to touch her.

Thinking of this, the hatred in Lin Zhiqiang's heart became more obvious, and her face became hotter.

She was just daydreaming. She should have applied an egg to reduce the swelling and she wouldn't be so unmannerly now.

She turned her beaten face slightly to show more of her right half of her face, "The prince is here."

King Cheng's gaze stayed on him for a moment, and then quickly looked elsewhere, "Is there something urgent that you called me over here in a hurry?"

In a hurry?

These four words made Lin Zhiqiang's heart, which had just warmed up, instantly turn cold, and it felt cold all over, as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

Why is she in such a hurry?

"It was the prince who came to the Lin Mansion in a hurry to see Lin Zhihe, and was called over by me all of a sudden. That's why he must be extremely anxious now." Lin Zhiqiang was very sarcastic and didn't care about her dignity anymore, staring at King Cheng.

These words really angered King Cheng.

His face was filled with disgrace and absurdity, and his eyes were very cold, as if he was looking at an ordinary stranger. "If you hadn't caused such a huge disaster, why would I be so anxious?"

Lin Zhiqiang was furious, with a ball of rage burning in her heart that seemed to be burning her, and she laughed weakly.

"Don't you two know that you are lying to me and looking at me?"

"Who caused such a huge disaster?"

As soon as this question was raised, King Cheng immediately changed his attitude.

Only at this moment did he truly focus his gaze on Lin Zhiqiang's face. He was no longer as calm as usual. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Lin Zhiqiang.

His eyes conveyed a lot of things, but he never said a word. I don't know if it was because he didn't dare or because he was disdainful.

"You..." King Cheng opened his mouth and closed it again.

Lin Zhiqiang finally couldn't stand it anymore. Her good temper was worn away by King Cheng, and she became a mad woman.

"I know everything." Lin Zhiqiang followed up on his unfinished words and decided to lift the veil.

"I know everything." His tone was very sure and left no room for doubt.

King Cheng snorted coldly, "What do you know?"

At this point, do you still want to test yourself?

Lin Zhiqiang found it extremely absurd and ridiculous.

"The matter between you and Lin Zhihe, Taotao's biological mother..." Lin Zhiqiang paused, giving King Cheng some time to react, and then slowly said: "I know everything."

King Cheng finally lost his gentle and refined appearance and became very impatient, with a bit of fear on his face. He widened his eyes and asked, "How did you know?"

But he didn't feel any guilt towards her.

He did such a dirty thing with his own sister and kept her in the dark for so long. Now that the truth has been revealed, he doesn't feel the slightest bit of guilt.

"No wonder…"

King Cheng immediately understood the whole story and connected all the events together. "No wonder you pushed her for no reason and almost killed her."

"I hurt her?" Lin Zhiqiang couldn't believe it.

"She is the one who harmed us!"

She approached King Cheng, unable to believe that he would be bewitched to this extent by that bitch, her voice almost screaming: "She is the one who harmed us! She is the concubine. If your affair is known to others, your throne and all our lives will be gone."

Not to mention the throne that is within reach.

It's all that bitch Lin Zhihe who's harming them!

King Cheng angrily covered her mouth with his hand, then pinched her face and used his tiger's mouth to strangle her jaw, "Shut up! No one knows about this, but if you keep shouting like this, the whole world may know about it."

His tone was full of coercion and intimidation, without a trace of pity, "You are now a princess, and you will be the queen in the future, second only to the king and above everyone else. But if you dare to tell anyone, not only will you be in trouble with me, but you will also be in trouble with your father."

Her father?

Lin Zhiqiang's head suddenly felt as if it had exploded. Did her father know about this?
