Chapter 522: Eunuch Li, Why Are You Panicking?

Eunuch Li's forehead was already beaded with cold sweat.

Ever since Madam Lin had directly communicated with him in person, he had only allowed one trusted person among those who left the palace to pass messages to Madam Lin for him, ensuring her of his definite support.

After that, the two had no further correspondence.

But at this moment, he realized, was it that Madam Lin had never sent any more letters into the Imperial Palace, or had all of Madam Lin's letters actually been intercepted?

His heart was struck with panic, worried about the possibility of compromising information in the letters.

If Madam Lin were just an ordinary person, it naturally would not matter much, merely a ridiculous affair, but Madam Lin was the principal wife of a Fifth Rank official. If the affair of Madam Lin bearing a child for a eunuch were to be exposed, she would likely be drowned in public contempt.
