Lin Li returned to her room dejectedly and told Zhou Yue almost exactly what her second brother had said. It was up to her to make the decision.

After I calmed down, I realized that my palms were red and even painful.

"How did it become like this? You were not careful at all," Xie Yu rubbed Lin Li's hands with medicinal wine. Xie Yu knew roughly what had happened just now, but he didn't know the real reason why the second young master was angry, and Lin Li didn't tell him in detail.

"Even someone as approachable as the Second Young Master was irritated by you. It shows that the young lady is really an expert."

"You can scold me in all kinds of ways. I don't have the energy to deal with you now. After some time, I will settle all the old and new accounts together. Just wait and see." Lin Li put her hands on her waist, puffed out her chest, and pretended to be serious.

Xie Yu also rubbed his hands and cooperated with her, "I am always at your service."

"You have a good relationship with the second brother. Do you know if he has ever liked any woman before?"

It should be easier for men to communicate with each other than women. Besides, the second brother is the same to almost everyone, so Xie Yu should know something.

The man frowned, thought for a moment, then shook his head, "I haven't heard of such a person."

"You'd better tell me the truth and don't hide it from me."

"Miss, when have I ever lied to you?" After rubbing her hands, Yuzhu filled a basin with hot water for Xie Yu to wash her hands.

Some snacks and milk tea were brought, as well as Lin Li’s favorite iced fruit.

Xie Yu took the initiative to peel lychees for Lin Li and put the crystal clear lychees into Lin Li's mouth.

"By the way, how come you have time to come here today?" The lychees today just seem especially delicious.

"In a few days, I will leave with the army."

The old emperor was already dying, and everything in the palace had been prepared. As long as the old emperor passed away, all the ministers would support Xie Yu to ascend the throne.

The forces on the border were also ready to move. After Xie Yu succeeded to the throne, he immediately led his troops to quell the war.

After hearing this news, fruit no longer tasted so good and lychees became tasteless.

Xie Yu picked up a grape and was about to peel it when Lin Li grabbed his hand and asked, "Why so sudden?"

"That's not the case. We have been sleeping on straw and tasting gall for many years." Speaking of so many years of preparation, Xie Yu didn't know what words to use to describe it. After all, to the old emperor, what Xie Yu did was extremely outrageous.

Lin Li would not ask too much or get involved in the affairs in the palace. She felt that everything Xie Yu did was right and beneficial to his people, so Lin Li would support him.

Lin Li took the grapes from the man's hand and peeled them carefully. Her eyes were wet. She fed them to Xie Yu's mouth. When she saw his eyes, she couldn't hold back her tears. "Promise me that you will come back safely. I will wait for you here."

"Don't cry," Xie Yu sat next to Lin Li, holding her waist, and then reached out to wipe away the tears on Lin Li's face, "I promise you."

Xie Yu was a little surprised as to why the young lady had no questions about this matter.

"Miss, don't you have anything you want to ask me?" For example, about your life experience.

The woman leaned in Xie Yu's arms and shook her head. "No matter what you do, I will stand by your side. There are some things I want you to come back and tell me slowly."

As the saying goes, leave something behind today so that you can meet again someday.

Now she feels empty and nervous. It is inevitable to go to the battlefield without getting hurt. Lin Li will probably have to wait for Xie Yu to return triumphantly before she can feel at ease.

"Okay, Miss."

After listening to Lin Li's words, Zhou Yue sat alone in the pavilion for a long time before wiping away her tears and going to find Lin Ji.

"Second Young Master, will you stay in the capital for the rest of your life?" Zhou Yue stood at the door, looking at the people in the study.

No matter what the outcome is, this question must always be asked.

If the second young master would stay in the capital, then Zhou Yue would stay by his side. Even if he had no status or position, Zhou Yue didn't care. She was willing to suffer even if she had to watch him marry other women.

Lin Ji had his back to Zhou Yue, sorting out the medicinal herbs. He could understand what Zhou Yue meant.

"I teach you medicine because I think my little sister is careless and often bumps into things. I can't always be by her side, so I can only ask you to take care of her."

"Then what?" Is Dangdang just for the lady?

"You mentioned before that your grandfather was a doctor and loved you very much, so I think you also want to inherit your grandfather's medical skills."

So, Lin Ji had always treated Zhou Yue as just a student, and there was no love affair between them, but Zhou Yue plunged headfirst into it and couldn't extricate herself.

"I am very happy to answer your difficult questions. Who doesn't like a diligent and inquisitive student?"

Zhou Yue closed her eyes, leaned against the door frame, and slowly calmed down, "Second Young Master has not answered my question yet."

"No one can tell what the court will be like in the future. My father is old and it's time for him to retire and return home. If the future emperor makes great achievements, I will stay in the palace. Otherwise, I will wander around the world or open a clinic in a place where no one knows me."

The Lin family has been practicing medicine in the palace for generations. Mr. Lin has high expectations for Lin Ji. He also hopes that his son can serve the emperor like him to show his loyalty.
