Xu Shi noticed Xu Zhihuai's uneasiness, and Zhu Xuxing turned to look at her with concern in his eyes.
Xu Zhihuai noticed something, tried his best to stay calm, and spoke softly.
"Your Highness has something important to discuss in detail, why don't you let me first..."
Zhu Xuxing didn't wait for her to finish: "It's okay."
Wei Li smiled meaningfully: "Your Highness, many people outside are talking about it, saying that Your Highness has picked up a fairy."
Zhu Xuxing frowned: "When did you learn to join in the fun?"
Wei Li curled her lips: "I'm always very good at judging people."
Speaking of which, Xu Zhihuai could no longer guess what Wei Li had in mind.
Wei Li looked at Xu Zhihuai quietly and said deliberately: "Although the beauty is kind, please be careful, Your Highness."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere became condensed.
Xu Zhihuai's heartbeat was beating like a drum, Zhu Xuxing slowly put away his smile, and a hint of displeasure appeared on his gentle and handsome face.
Wei Li said unscrupulously: "I am loyal and outspoken."
Zhu Xuxing knew that he liked to scare people: "People who don't usually enter the palace, why are you suddenly free? Go and do your business."
"Your Highness, won't you give me a cup of tea?"
Wei Li raised his eyebrows and stared at Xu Zhihuai, looking at her sitting there, frozen into a wooden beauty.
Zhu Xuxing immediately issued an eviction order: "Where can you go to drink tea? Why not go to Qianhua Palace to ask for tea."
Upon hearing the words "Qianhua Palace", the hostility in Wei Li's brows and eyes instantly disappeared, and even his eyes and tone of voice changed.
He paused and suddenly asked: "Your Highness, the eldest princess, how are you doing lately?"
"If you are interested, go and take a look. Don't cause trouble here."
Wei Li stood up immediately: "Yes, Your Highness, I will go over now to pay my respects to the eldest princess."
Xu Zhihuai raised his head in confusion and saw a dark color surging in his eyes, clearly hiding something on his mind.
Strange, can animals have worries?
Xu Zhihuai looked at Wei Li's leaving figure. Before he could recover, he heard Zhu Xuxing say kindly: "The Marquis of Qingyi has always been ruthless. You don't have to take his words to heart. I'll take you back."
When he said this, his eyes were clear and calm.
Xu Zhihuai smiled slightly, but his heart was already turned upside down.
Returning to Chunhe Hall, Zhu Xuxing was a little reluctant to leave: "I'll see you again tomorrow."
"Your Highness, walk slowly."
Xu Zhihuai is quiet and docile, neither trying to stay nor flattering.
After he left, she slightly darkened her face. The palace maid brought hot tea and said with a smile on her face: "Young lady is so beautiful today."
Xu Zhihuai seemed as if he hadn't heard anything, skipped her tea, went back to his room, lay down, and woke up alone.
What kind of scenery is this?
Just now Wei Li made it clear that he wanted to stab her in the back, but the prince sent him away!
The sunset recedes dimly, and the night creeps up quietly.
Xu Zhihuai couldn't sleep. He sat with his knees in front of the window and counted the stars. He had just counted two hundred. Suddenly there was a noise outside the courtyard, and then there was the sound of footsteps of people coming and going.
"What happened?"
Xu Zhihuai was alert and saw the on-duty eunuch and the palace maid carrying a water basin while replying and running out hurriedly: "There is water in the utility room...Girl, please don't come out."
Xu Zhihuai was uneasy.
She closed the window subconsciously, but there was a gust of wind coming from behind.
There is someone behind her!
Xu Zhihuai paused for a moment, and before he could turn around, there was an extra hand on his waist.
"save……"
She screamed in panic, and was dragged back by a brutal force, dragging her into a blind corner where the candlelight could not reach.
The man's hands were extremely strong. He covered her mouth with one hand and tightened her waist with the other.
In the darkness, Xu Zhihuai whimpered in fear, and suddenly a low laugh sounded in his ears, which was very familiar.
It's him!
Xu Zhihuai was suddenly startled.
When Wei Li saw that the person in her arms was no longer struggling, she knew she had guessed it.
He was inexplicably disappointed and slowly let go of his hand. Xu Zhihuai immediately turned around and backed away: "Why is the Marquis here?"
Her eyes were trembling and uneasy, and her tone was cautious. Wei Li is perfectly invisible in the dark, and just a dark shadow can give her a huge sense of oppression.
"Why hasn't His Highness touched you since you entered the palace? Have you forgotten your ability to take off your clothes before?"
His tone was contemptuous, as if accusing.
Xu Zhihuai clenched his fists, and his knuckles turned white: "Your Highness is a humble gentleman. He treats me kindly and gently, and he treats me with kindness and politeness. I dare not offend you. Speaking of Your Highness, I don't know something. Why is the Marquis here today?" The matter of Wu Yuan was brought up in front of His Highness..."
How dare she question him.
"Haha, you are really brave. It's different if you have someone to support you."
Wei Li's gloomy laughter made her feel even more uncomfortable.
He can actually laugh!
If anyone found him here, if he stabbed her in the back during the day, she would be in serious trouble. No need to think about it, the fire outside was also caused by him!
Wei Li slowly stepped forward, and the flickering candlelight reflected half of his face, covering it with a sinister and sinister look.
He met her eyes and said condescendingly: "The relationship between you and Wu Yuan cannot be hidden. Not only the prince, but everyone in the palace will know it sooner or later. So, you'd better climb into His Highness's bed quickly and don't pretend to be a pure saint." Now, your body is more useful than your bullshit background. Remember, you are here to sell yourself, not to dream."
Xu Zhihuai's pupils trembled and his eye sockets swelled.
"If you forget how to serve others? I can help you recall your memories."
Wei Li pressed her against the wall, put his cold hands into her skirt and underneath her body...
Xu Zhihuai took a breath and trembled in a low voice: "Master Marquis, please, I will definitely serve His Highness well."
Only then did he stop, gasping and sneering in her ear, and then bit her earlobe like punishment. The tips of his teeth were so sharp that it hurt her.
At this time, the sound of footsteps sounded outside the door again.
Wei Li raised his hand and blew out the candlestick with the wind from his cuff.
Xu Zhihuai could no longer see where he was. Soon, the light returned to her eyes.
The palace maid who returned in a hurry came over with a surprised look on her face, supported her stiff body, and said with concern: "The girl's face is so pale... The wind outside the window must have blown out the candlestick. Don't be afraid, girl, everything is fine outside. .”
Xu Zhihuai's eyes were slightly flustered, and he looked around hurriedly, and sure enough, Wei Li was nowhere to be seen.
Wei Li was so sinister that she had no way of guarding against him.
After this accident, Xu Zhihuai was no longer sleepy. When she was about to sit quietly and wait for dawn, the palace maid ran in again and replied: "Girl, your highness is here."
Xu Zhihuai was shocked and surprised. Thinking of Wei Li's taunting words, he couldn't help but move his eyes slightly.
Zhu Xingxing is dressed in moon white, rich and handsome, and shines with the stars.
No matter it is day or night, he is so bright and comfortable.
He was worried about her. Hearing that something happened here, he hurried over immediately.
Xu Zhihuai was wearing a light singlet. Without waiting for the palace maid to fetch her cloak, she ran straight towards the door. She plunged into Zhu Xiuxing's arms, like a frightened little bird.
When Zhu Xuxing saw that her clothes were thin and she was running barefoot, he was slightly stunned and at the same time, his heart seemed to be tickled by something.
He held her shoulders and looked at her face: "It's okay."
Xu Zhihuai put on a show, looked up at him, grabbed the corners of his clothes with tears in his eyes, and murmured: "Your Highness, I'm afraid..."
In the blur of tears, she couldn't see clearly Zhu Xiuxing's expression. She could only hear him sigh softly, reach out to wipe her tears, and hold her in his arms again, his force gentle and restrained: "Don't be afraid, I'm here..."
Xu Zhihuai leaned quietly in his arms, feeling extremely sober inside.
Pretending to be pitiful was always a bad idea. She didn't want to be so deliberate, but Wei Li wouldn't give her more time. He would go crazy anytime, anywhere.
