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

Chapter 117 Confessing the King

Where is this story going?

Could it be that the emperor would take off his clothes just because he was angry?

No, the queen is not dead, so it cannot be considered as old clothes, it can only be considered an old piece of clothing.

No problem.

"This dress makes you look charming and beautiful." The emperor looked at Lin Zhihe with a smile.

Logically speaking, Lin Zhihe should express her gratitude at this time, and she did so.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise." Lin Zhihe knelt down again to salute.

"No need to bow. You've already kneeled twice in such a short time." The emperor's tone was teasing.

Lin Zhihe stood up quickly and the scene became quiet again.

"I have heard everything about you."

After the emperor said this, he stared into Lin Zhihe's eyes, watching her reaction.

What's the matter? Is it about her beating Princess Cheng?

The emperor comes to settle accounts with her?

Lin Zhihe was completely confused and didn't know what was going on.

"The Fifth Prince and you have a strong affinity."

Oh, so it’s about the fifth prince saving her.

The emperor came to his own Vermilion Bird Palace specially, it certainly would not be a coincidence that he brought up this matter. What is his intention?

Although she couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking, Lin Zhihe knew that she had to say something at this moment.

"The fifth prince is a brave man with a heart of a tiger and a nose for roses." Lin Zhihe said dryly, and felt a little disgusted with himself.

Oh my god, what are you talking about? People in ancient times couldn't understand such words!

Sure enough, the emperor did not understand, but he did not continue to dwell on the matter. Instead, he looked at Lin Zhihe with a smile.

Lin Zhihe was a little impatient. She had been trying to guess the emperor's intentions, but she found that she couldn't guess at all.

The emperor also seemed to be deliberately sending out some wrong signals, hammering here and there, and refusing to get to the point.

The two people are like a cat and a mouse, chasing each other.

Unfortunately, Lin Zhihe is the poor Tom cat who is played around by Jerry.

"How many years have you been in the palace, He'er? Are you used to it?" The emperor's tone softened and he began to chat about family matters.

This is a good question, but it is meaningless.

The original owner entered the palace in the second year of Yongping, and now it is the third year of Yongping, almost two years have passed, and only then did he remember to ask her if she was used to it. It's so funny.

As expected, if everyone can do a few minutes of talk show, then Huang Shang will start to show off.

"Your Majesty, for nearly two years, Your Majesty has been helping the people and the Empress has been the mother of the country. Of course, I am used to being in the harem."

Perhaps because he didn't expect Lin Zhihe to say such elegant words, the emperor smiled obviously and his expression looked much better.

"You have made some progress in such a long time."

"I heard from the Fifth Prince that he and you have a strong affinity. Now that I see you two, I think you two look somewhat similar. Don't you think so?" The Emperor turned around and asked "Su Peisheng".

"Su Peisheng" had been following behind the emperor, watching their conversation intently, and immediately took over the topic, "Yes, I think the master and the fifth prince are 70% similar."

He said this with a flattering smile, revealing his wrinkled old face.

This is pure bullshit. She and the fifth prince are exactly the same and there is absolutely no similarity between them.

"Especially the eyes, they are full of bright light, which makes people like them at first sight." The emperor sat there and waved his hand.

Lin Zhihe sensibly moved closer to the emperor, and the emperor touched her eyes lovingly, seeming to like her very much.

The more he liked her, the more uneasy Lin Zhihe felt.

Anyone would be scared if someone suddenly came up to me and said these things.

Lin Zhihe subconsciously looked in the direction of Liu Li.

According to the palace rules, except for the servants, no one else is allowed to look up at the emperor.

Liu Li lowered her head according to the rules, but seemed to feel Lin Zhihe's gaze. She moved her head a little, but never dared to raise it.

"How about this, I see that you and the Fifth Prince have such a good relationship, so I will make the decision to adopt the Fifth Prince under your name and let you be the Fifth Prince's biological mother. What do you think?" The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Zhihe with a smile.

Lin Zhihe met the emperor's gaze and felt like she was exploding.

She said why they said they were destined to be together and then looked alike, so it seemed like they were waiting for her here.

What on earth was the emperor thinking? Why did he adopt the fifth prince under her name?

Realizing that it was her turn to speak, Lin Zhihe quickly said, "Of course I am delighted, but the Fifth Prince..."

After she finished speaking, she felt that she had just said something nonsense. Who dared not to obey the emperor's order? Moreover, judging from the current situation, the emperor had already discussed it with the fifth prince.

Sure enough, the emperor waved his hand and said, "As long as you are willing."

Lao Deng, if you have thought it through, stop pretending here.

But the play still had to be performed. Lin Zhihe tried his best to pretend to be happy and forced a smile.

Seeing this smiling face, the emperor finally felt relieved, "Si Hai, tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs to choose an auspicious day to settle this matter."

It turns out that "Su Peisheng" is called Sihai.

After saying that, the emperor left with his Si Hai in a grand manner, leaving Lin Zhihe with only his back.

Lin Zhihe stared at the emperor's back, and after making sure the emperor left, he sat down on the stool and began to think hard.

Liu Li moved closer to Lin Zhihe, and seeing that Lin Zhihe didn't move, he found a place to sit down and waited quietly.

"What do you think Old Deng is thinking? Why did he let me be the mother of the fifth prince?" Lin Zhihe asked a soul-searching question.

Liu Li also looked very confused and shook his head in confusion.

"No wonder, it all makes sense." Lin Zhihe suddenly realized.

"What makes sense?"

"On the day I was locked in the ancestral hall, didn't you say that it was because the Fifth Prince mentioned me to the Emperor that I was able to be freed from the cage of the Lin Mansion?"

It turned out that at that time, the emperor, or the fifth prince, was interested in himself.

Then why was she chosen to be the mother of the fifth prince?

Is the Fifth Prince seeking revenge? Is he seeking revenge for Lin Zhihe's exposure of Concubine Xi?

Although the Fifth Prince saved her, he didn't know that the person who fell into the water was her at that time. If he knew it was her, would the Fifth Prince still save her?

Or, it was because he saved her that the Fifth Prince suddenly realized that Lin Zhihe was living a free and easy life, and thus he began to think about revenge?

Can't figure it out.

"You said last time that the emperor prefers the eldest prince or the second prince to inherit the throne?" Lin Zhihe spoke very softly, so that only the two of them could hear.

Liu Li thought for a while before speaking: "That's what's spread in the palace. The eldest prince has military merits, the second prince's mother is favored, and these two are the only princes who have reached adulthood."

Lin Zhihe was stunned. "What advantage is being an adult?"

It's obviously a disadvantage.

"Look at the emperor's health. He doesn't look in danger. A grown prince is meaningless to him. Instead, it will remind him of the fact that his situation is declining."

Liu Li was even more confused and almost had a question mark on her face.

Lin Zhihe couldn't help laughing.

She really liked Liu Li's lively appearance, like a living person, not a dead object in the palace.

But Liu Li smiled less and less. In fact, what she didn't notice was that she also smiled less and less, and became more and more like a person of this dynasty.

"You don't understand. Every emperor wants to live forever, so they tirelessly seek immortality and medicine. He is already anxious because he is getting old, and his adult son is still in front of him, reminding him all the time that he is old. Isn't he even more annoyed?"

Liu Li thought it made sense and nodded.

“Why was only the second prince crowned king?
