Chapter 702: Altered Memory

October 10.

Local time, 8 p. m.

「Clang—」

The Iron Door opened again.

「Hello! Old monster, I'm back again! 」

After entering, Lin Chang'e smiled and waved at Eunuch Shi, who was detained behind the iron fence.

「Little Chang'e, you're here! Come over quickly! 」

As soon as Eunuch Shi saw Lin Chang'e, he hurriedly waved at her.

Lin Chang'e walked to a spot one meter from the fence and stopped.

She sized up Eunuch Shi.

「Old monster, you've become even more beautiful! 」

Lin Chang'e widened her eyes.

「Really? 」

Eunuch Shi pinched a strand of hair between his fingers, his expression somewhat awkward as he spoke.

「Hmm! 」

Lin Chang'e nodded firmly, 「To be honest, old monster, you're prettier than many of my aunts. My dad is so handsome; you might as well be my aunt. 」.

「What do you mean? 」

Eunuch Shi furrowed his brows.

Lin Chang'e spread her hands, 「You've become like this now; it's originally your own mistake, and now you're just facing your true self. 」.

Aunt Qi Yao said, 「As a normal woman, not only should the body be normal, but the mind should also be normal. 」.

「Men like women, women like men— isn't that normal? 」.

「As a woman, you should like my dad; my dad is a good person and also handsome. 」.

「More importantly, you're not his match; as a woman, losing to a man is nothing to be ashamed of. 」.

Lin Chang'e said all that in one breath.

Eunuch Shi listened, his brows furrowing even tighter.

But his eyes showed a thoughtful expression.

She had also been thinking about this issue during this time.

He recalled that many years ago, he too had once liked a man… Could it be that only then was it correct?

「Old monster, I've brought you something to eat. 」.

Saying this, Lin Chang'e took out a piece of osmanthus cake from her pocket and handed it to Eunuch Shi.

Eunuch Shi glanced at it, then reached out and took it from Lin Chang'e's hand.

She didn't mind that the osmanthus cake wasn't packaged in a bag but was a freshly made homemade pastry.

She placed it in her mouth and tasted it.

Suddenly, Eunuch Shi widened his eyes, 「This, this is…」.

「This was made by Aunt Chen Yu; have you tasted it? Aunt Chen Yu lives where there are many osmanthus trees; she made this especially for my dad, and I took a few pieces from him. 」.

After Lin Chang'e finished speaking, Eunuch Shi's hands began to tremble.

Lin Chang'e said this was made by Chen Yu for Lin Feng, so Chen Yu must have betrayed herself.

Why would that be?

「Pah! 」.

Eunuch Shi suddenly spat the osmanthus cake onto the ground, and angrily threw the remaining half onto the ground as well.

Lin Chang'e giggled, 「Just kidding! The four of them didn't betray you; it's just that my dad said he'd bring you food, so Chen Yu made it especially for you, and I think it's quite tasty. 」.

Eunuch Shi widened his eyes, 「Are you telling the truth? 」.

Lin Chang'e nodded, 「I won't lie to you! 」.

「You little liar, I don't believe you anymore. 」.

Eunuch Shi said, bending down to pick up the half piece of osmanthus cake he had thrown on the ground.

「It's dirty after falling on the ground, but I still have another piece. 」.

Lin Chang'e handed Eunuch Shi another piece of osmanthus cake.

Eunuch Shi first ate the half that had fallen on the ground, then took the piece from Lin Chang'e's hand.

Lin Chang'e giggled again, 「Although Aunt Chen Yu didn't betray you or reveal what you hid elsewhere, she is indeed my aunt now. 」.

「Wow~」.

As soon as Lin Chang'e finished speaking, Eunuch Shi squatted on the ground and cried.

Lin Chang'e sighed, shrugged helplessly, and said, 「Old monster, you're really impossible to tease! 」.

Just then, the door opened again.

Lin Feng, wearing an Embroidered Uniform Guard uniform, walked in.

Upon seeing Lin Feng, Eunuch Shi first froze, then stopped crying.

This outfit of Lin Feng's is really too familiar.

But soon, her tears fell even more.

Just this outfit on Lin Feng's body represents that, among the four—Fish, Goose, Moon, Flower—at least one has already betrayed her.

This really hurts the old man's heart.

At the same time, distant memories surfaced in his mind.

She still remembered that during the Zhengde era of the Ming Dynasty, she had been the emperor's personal eunuch.

Back then there was an Embroidered Uniform Guard commander who was as handsome as Lin Feng.

He was wearing the same outfit.

Eunuch Shi took especial care of that Embroidered Uniform Guard commander.

Even finally, for that commander, after Zhu Houzhao fell into the water, she promised the commander and stuffed poison into Zhu Houzhao's mouth.

Zhu Houzhao was poisoned to death.

As a result, that commander turned around and tried to kill her.

Fortunately she had prepared in advance, digging a secret passage in the palace and escaping the imperial city.

For this matter, Eunuch Shi grieved for a long time.

This was also the only matter that had moved Eunuch Shi's feelings in two thousand years.

Back then Eunuch Shi was still very torn, thinking her mind was not normal.

Now, I saw this familiar outfit again! jj. br>

Lin Feng laughed and said, "Don't misunderstand, I was idle this morning with nothing to do, went to the film crew to cameo a role; this is a costume, a costume, you know?"

"Lin Feng, you, you are disgusting me!"

Eunuch Shi shouted angrily.

Suddenly, Eunuch Shi widened her eyes and said, "That person also bears the surname Lin; his name is Lin Jiutian, also a Lin—you Lins have no good people…"

Eunuch Shi muttered as she spoke.

Suddenly she grabbed her own hair and let out a loud "ah!"

The painful memories deep in her mind grew increasingly clear.

The Lin Feng before her came to resemble more and more the man she had liked but who ultimately betrayed her.

The osmanthus cake had been laced with something.

In her anguish, Eunuch Shi's consciousness began to blur.

Just then, Bi Yue walked in.

Through the fence, she slowly reached out her hand, murmuring.

Lin Chang'e hurriedly went out and gently closed the door; her mission was already completed.

The old monster would also only eat the osmanthus cake from her hand.

Because the poison and the osmanthus taste somewhat alike.

If anyone else brought pastries to the old monster, she would not eat them.

As Bi Yue's murmuring continued, Eunuch Shi's expression turned vacant.

This process lasted for about an hour and a bit.

Afterwards, Bi Yue collapsed onto the ground, exhausted.

And Eunuch Shi, who was locked inside, had already fainted on the ground.

Lin Feng helped Bi Yue up, saying, "Thank you for your hard work!"

Bi Yue shook her head, "Being able to work for you is my honor; I have completely sealed a segment of her original memory deep in her mind."

In place of that memory is you; when you interact with her later, don't slip up.

"What if she remembers it in the future?"

Lin Feng frowned and asked.

Bi Yue smiled and said, "By that time it's already a done deal; her feelings for you are deeper than before; she's a smart person and should know how to choose."

Having said that, Bi Yue stood up, leaned on the door, and walked out.

"Whoosh~"

Lin Feng let out a breath.

At last he managed to deal with that toughest guy.

As long as Eunuch Shi is dealt with, Luoyan and Xiuhua, those two "stubborn elements," will naturally fall into place.
