Charles Chu walked down the theater and headed east. Samuel Eunuch Muhan followed him out. Charles Chu turned his head and said to Samuel Eunuch Muhan, "Don't follow me. It's very damp here in the palace. Go back to Taohuayuan and watch people fumigate the bedding in the inner room to save trouble when you go back at night."
Samuel Eunuch Muhan nodded quickly. Li Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and followed Charles Chu to Linxi Tower.
Charles Chu said slowly: "Have you always been serving here or were you assigned here from the palace?"
Li Qiao diligently blocked a few peach blossoms for Charles Chu and said with a smile: "I used to serve in the palace. Because I was young and did not know how to be an official, I broke a Ruyao vase of the Linda Li Shu...oh, now it's called Linda Li Shu. Linda Li Shu gave me 20 strokes of the cane, and then the eunuch in charge sent me here."
Charles Chu chuckled: "Oh, do you hate Linda Li Shu in your heart?"
