At night time when Jinshi was about to go to his room to end the day Hongniang [Is it even Hongniang? I don't know but I will go with that] came and asks kindly "Sir Jinshi. Where are you off to?".
Gaoshun and Jinshi both stops and turns to the lady one by one whne Jinshi replies "I'm returning to my office. Can I help you?" "It's nothing... Would you like some tea in my room?" Hongniang asks kindly, but it was obvious that she tried to seduce or some shit to Jinshi, since he is a fucking handsome guy.
Jinshi kindly bows with his hands infront of him and denies saying "Unfortunately, I have work left to do. Excuse me.". Soon Gaoshun and Jinshi both started walking while the girl, Hongniang collapsed on the ground while making a moan with blush on her face.
Jinshi then started to think about something, and Lyly being a man, since he never thought about it but it makes so much sense. "I wonder if the palace women really haven't realized. But were you that surprised when you heard Lyly was a man? It was quiet tricky but it was easy to know." Gaoshun says, following behing Jinshi "So you knew about him being a man? Why didn't you tell me?" Jinshi asks, quiet bothered by it.
"Because you didn't ask" is what Gaoshun replies, calmly following behind. Then making Jinshi tch and he looked funny with it. Oh by the way, Gaoshun thought Jinshi will definitely see Lyly but he didn't, he was a bit confused, or suspicious but didn't question it.

"That you are an investigator who measures their loyalty to the Emperor." Gaoshun says, standing infront of the table Jinshi's was sitting at. "Inviting other men to bed because the Emperor will not visit them... How imprudent." Jinshi says. "Truly" Gaoshun agrees.
"A concubine cannot just be beautiful and well-educated. They need to be loyal to the Emperor and be chaste." Jinshi says, writing. "Placing you in the rear palace to use your beauty as a test for the concubines' loyalty... The Lord can be cruel." Gaoshun, our ☆tall old man☆ says to Jinshi, while the ○purple handsome guy○ replies with "He uses what he can. However... Not only was she not tempted by me, but she saw me with those eyes..." Jinshi says, almost dreamily and it shows with Maomao glaring disgustingly.
Jinshi was having sparkles all around him 'It's the first time I was regarded with suck contempt!' Jinshi thought, while smiling like an idiot. Gaoshun was a bit nervous and then says "I'll be off then." and sneakily goes out of the room.
When the door closes, Jinshi turned to normal and blinks two times. Then remembers what Maomao said "You may get a visit tonight... A visit... A visit...". Jinshi gives it a bit thought and sighs a bit, then puts a plank on his door to keep the person out from getting inside.
And then he sat at his desk, now thinking about something, or someone, he never thought of. Lyly[obviously]. He thinks about what happened the last time they encountered. Lyly was sick, and looked like he was sleep deprived. Jinshi was worried about Lyly and suddenly started to write something on the paper.

The next morning, when Lyly woke up on the morning and as usual, was looking like he wanted more sleep than he takes. Gaoshun was walking to Lyly, who was cleaning the clothes, and putting them on their destination that was numbered. When Gaoshun reached him, Gaoshun gave Lyly the letter with no explanation.
Lyly was confused but his curiosity got better of him and opened the letter to see who wrote this.
You need more rest than you do if you want to be healthy and still continue cleaning. And get medicine from Maomao, but I will most likely to give it to you.
Lyly sighs, ignoring the letter and continues working, when Jinshi came out and walks up to Lyly. "Are you a man?" Jinshi asks Lyly quietly, and quickly. Lyly got a moment of
