Chapter 114 Can You Accompany Me?
Liu Li walked towards the bedroom lightly, fearing that her voice would disturb Lin Zhihe.
But he never expected that Lin Zhihe was not asleep at all, and she glanced at him cautiously.
She patted the bed, "Liu Li, can you stay with me?"
Liu Li was about to open her mouth, but when she saw Lin Zhihe's lonely eyes, she swallowed back all the words of rejection.
In the past, Xiao Taohong always slept with her. She seemed to have said that she didn't dare to sleep alone.
How could he possibly refuse Lin Zhihe? Even if Lin Zhihe wanted his life, he would not refuse.
It's just that I feel happy and sad because of those emotions that I can't let on.
He quickly took off his outer shirt, leaving only his undershirt, and lay flat on his back, not daring to look her in the eyes.
Lin Zhihe didn't care about those things. She seemed to smile gently and closed her eyes.
Listening to her gradually slowing breathing, Liu Li finally felt relieved. If she didn't eat or drink for a day and a night, and didn't even sleep, she would be completely broken.
He deliberately went heavy-handed and threw several pieces of calming incense down, and it seemed to be effective.
When did you start to have different thoughts?
It was probably from the time she helped Huan'er redeem herself that he began to believe that she was not the Lin Zhihe of the past, and began to face her squarely.
Who wouldn't like her? No one in this world can resist her.
Liu Li, wake up. Now is not the time to think about these romantic thoughts. No matter what time it is, your thoughts are not acceptable.
It will only lead to shame.
Thinking of this, Liu Li calmed down a lot, and his just frivolous thoughts also sank.
If he wasn't this broken body...
There is no if in the world.
Liu Li smiled bitterly.
At this moment, there was some rustling sound outside, not very obvious. He looked outside through the window. The moon was hanging in the sky. It was probably three o'clock in the morning.
He wanted to get up to see if Shang Hai had come. As soon as he stood up, Lin Zhihe's eyes opened.
"Is anyone coming?"
"I don't know. I'll go out and check it out." Liu Li put on his coat again and tidied the place where he had just lain down, making sure there was no trace at all before he walked out quickly.
It was indeed Shanghai, and he was acting sneaky.
Liu Li led Shang Hai into the bedroom, and Lin Zhihe put on his coat and sat upright at the round table.
"Please sit down," Lin Zhihe pointed to one of the stools.
Shang Hai was very frightened and knelt down hurriedly, "I dare not."
Liu Li quickly helped him up again and pushed him onto the stool, "Just sit down, this is the rule here."
Although he was pressed on the stool, Shang Hai's butt felt like it had thorns and he was uncomfortable.
Lin Zhihe chose to ignore it and got straight to the point, "Brother Shang Hai, we have been busy outside today. Can you tell us about the situation in the palace?"
The word "brother" made Shang Hai even more nervous, but when it came to business, he calmed down a lot and also frowned.
"I cannot bear the call of brother from you. Liu Li and I have a life-long friendship and I will do my best."
"This matter has already caused a stir in the palace. Concubine Li is also furious, but she has not taken any action and has not passed on a message to Eunuch Qi."
Lin Zhihe was completely confused. Who was Eunuch Qi? What did this mean?
"Since Imperial Concubine Li did not pass on the message to the Emperor's personal eunuch, it proves that she did not file a complaint in front of the Emperor. So there is no need to worry about Imperial Concubine Li for the time being."
Liu Li deliberately spoke in such detail just to make her understand.
As expected, she understood that this Eunuch Qi was actually "Su Peisheng".
In other words, Concubine Li was angry because she hit Lin Zhiqiang, but she was not very angry.
"She was just briefly angry."
"King Cheng is still inquiring." Shang Hai continued.
"No need to ask King Cheng." Lin Zhihe said directly.
Not to mention the relationship between the two of them, even if there was no such relationship, he would not break up with himself for Lin Zhiqiang.
All show and no substance, selfish, powerful on the outside but weak on the inside, that's what King Cheng is all about.
"What about the queen?" Lin Zhihe was very curious.
"I can't find out. The people in the Queen's palace are very tight-lipped. No news can get out." Shang Hai was helpless.
"Lin...where's my dad?"
"As for Minister Lin, I only heard that he punished the Third Madam after returning home."
"It's not just Minister Lin. I heard that the Madam Dowager also scolded the Third Madam."
Lin Zhihe felt something was wrong and thought about it carefully, "How do you know so much?"
After all, the Lin Mansion is a civilian residence, and the exchange of information between the palace and the people is very slow, so there is no reason for Shanghai to know so many details.
"Not only the servants, everyone in the palace knows about it, and it has spread everywhere."
Liu Li and Lin Zhihe looked at each other subconsciously, then looked away and looked at Shang Hai.
"What about the court?" In fact, Lin Zhihe mainly wanted to ask about Lin Yingchen's performance in the court.
"There is nothing unusual. Minister Lin went straight back to his residence after the court session. He did not go to King Cheng's place, and King Cheng did not go to the Lin residence either."
too weird.
Shang Hai said everything he needed to say, then stood up, bowed and left.
Liu Li took out a silver note from his sleeve and sent Shanghai away.
Who knew that Shang Hai directly stuffed the banknote back into Liu Li's sleeve, saying righteously, "I can't take this money. I'm also very sad that Xiao Taohong is gone. Let's help Xiao Taohong together."
It would be a lie to say that I wasn't touched. Liu Li didn't continue to argue with Shang Hai about this matter. He just patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, I'll remember that."
After seeing Shang Hai off, Liu Li returned to the bedroom and saw Lin Zhihe in a daze when she came in.
"Master?" Liu Li called softly.
When Lin Zhihe heard Liu Li calling her, she slowly came back to her senses and her eyes became focused.
"Master, why did Minister Lin make the matter known to everyone?" Liu Li spoke.
"He just wanted to convey a message. He chose to stand on my side in this matter." Lin Zhihe sighed helplessly.
It’s similar to what Liu Li thought.
But new questions came up one after another. Why did Minister Lin go through so much trouble? He changed his mind. Why didn't he just go to the palace and tell Lin Zhihe? Why did he go through so much trouble?
Although it is inconvenient for outsiders to enter the palace, with Lin Yingchen's identity, he can still enter if he wants to.
"Now that things have become so serious, it's a bit strange that Lin Yingchen is still keeping silent." Liu Li still expressed his thoughts truthfully.
"Who knows what he's thinking." Lin Zhihe said disdainfully, "There are eight hundred minds, who knows which one will start to move again?"
"Since you can't figure it out, then don't think about it for now. Let's deal with it as it happens." Liu Li guided him.
Lin Zhihe needs a good rest. If he doesn’t, even an iron man won’t be able to bear it.
Lin Zhihe understood what he meant, and she lay down directly, tucking her whole body into the quilt, blinking her eyes, "You should go back and have a rest too, you've worked much harder than me."
