"Never."

"That's good," Lin Li was worried at first that Xie Yu would blame his second brother, "If the emperor asks, my second brother will put the blame on me. I will take the blame for my own actions."

Second brother meant well for herself, and Lin Li wanted to protect second brother and the Lin family, so nothing could go wrong.

"The Emperor and I have been friends for so many years, he shouldn't do anything to me, and besides, he's not that kind of person."

"I hope so."

"How about you and the Emperor?"

"The emperor is still angry. I will find an opportunity to explain to him."

Lin Ji didn't know what to say. Lin Li had been married to the emperor for so long, and they knew each other's personalities and temperaments. If they had any problems, they could only handle them themselves.

"Madam asked you to take advantage of the house arrest to calm down and not act so recklessly. You should always consider the overall situation."

"oh, I understand now."

After drinking the medicine, Lin Li felt groggy and went to rest.

~~

Lin Li counted the days almost one by one, and finally finished the two-month scripture copying.

However, as she was still under house arrest, Lin Li wanted to leave the palace to find Xiaorou, but there was no way because according to the date, Xiaorou was about to give birth.

Nothing major happened in the court, which meant that Lin Li did not implicate Wang Yangzhi, and also meant that Xie Yu still believed in Lin Li.

The Queen Mother would call Lin Li over to lecture her from time to time, and Lin Li's ears were almost callused from it.

The emperor selected several wealthy young men for Princess Shuya, but Princess Shuya didn't like any of them, and Lin Li knew about this.

Ruyue has been stirring up trouble for a while, but now she has calmed down again. She was rewarded for reporting Lin Li, but unfortunately, she didn't seem to get any reward. She is still the same as before.

This move was very clever. It not only alienated Lin Li and Xie Yu, but also allowed Lin Li to see clearly who her enemies were in the palace and who she needed to be on guard against in the future.

Time passed so quickly, and in a few days it would be New Year's Eve. I had spent a whole year in the palace in a daze.

"Your Majesty, the embroidery room will deliver this year's winter clothes for the New Year's Eve dinner. Why don't you wear new clothes?" Yuzhu rubbed Lin Li's shoulders.

In the palace, not only the masters had new clothes, the servants also had new clothes. They were all made in the embroidery room, and the embroidery work was impeccable.

Even though her salary was fined, Lin Li was not short of money. Every few days, her second brother Lin Ji would bring her money. Plus, Lin Li already had some savings, so her life was not that difficult.

Lin Li was punished by the Empress Dowager. Apart from being confined to her room, her condition was no different from usual and she was not sent to the cold palace.

She also understood that everything behind this was Xie Yu's intention.

It has been almost two months since I last saw Xie Yu. He seemed to be in the Hall of Supreme Harmony all day long. Except for occasionally paying respects to the Empress Dowager, Xie Yu had never entered the harem.

Since Xie Yu was intentionally avoiding me, I had no choice but to take the initiative. Otherwise, looking at the current situation, I didn't know when I would be able to reconcile with Xie Yu.

"We'll talk about it later," Lin Li soaked her feet in the water, closed her eyes and leaned back in the chair, "Tomorrow, I'll go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to see the emperor, you guys make some snacks or something."

"Really, ma'am?"

"Of course."

Yuzhu was so happy that she almost jumped up. Before, every time she mentioned the emperor to the young lady, she would be unhappy and she thought that the young lady had given up.

The couple quarreled at the head of the bed but made up at the foot of the bed. The young lady was able to understand this, and she was happy for her.

"Well, it's getting late, you should go down and rest."

Lin Li sat on the bed, thinking about what clothes she should wear, what jewelry she should use, and what to say when they met Xie Yu tomorrow. She was so excited that she couldn't sleep.

These days, Lin Li has been taking medicine on time, and her second brother said that she has recovered well. She also feels that her lower abdomen is not as painful as it was during those days when her body was not clean, and her hands and feet are not cold anymore.

Although she had quarreled with Xie Yu and was in a cold war for a long time, Lin Li still ate on time. She had a good appetite and her whole body looked much rosier. She didn't look like someone with something on her mind at all.

After so long, Lin Li has finally come to terms with it. She wants to continue living with Xie Yu and doesn't want to quarrel with him anymore.

No matter whether his background is clean or not, Lin Li wants to have a child of her own. Life in the palace is lonely and she needs a child to liven up her life.

What's more, there are people in the palace to take care of the prince, so Lin Li doesn't have to work too hard.

The most important thing is that in the harem, Xie Yu has only one concubine, Lin Li, and there will be no competition for favor or killing among his descendants.
