Since the emperor had given the order, the young eunuch had fewer concerns. He grabbed Lin Qingyi's arm and pulled her out with force.
Lin Qingyi ran back to Lin Shuer's Shou'an Palace crying. Seeing her crying so sadly, Lin Shuer felt very distressed and promised Lin Qingyi that she would not have to leave the palace as long as she was there.
