The cool breeze blew gently, the curtains were lifted, and someone came over.
Xu Zhihuai lowered his head and lowered his eyes, not daring to see who it was. She was obviously wearing clothes and a quilt, but she was shivering as if she were in the wind and snow.
"Are you cold?"
The concerned tone did not change at all, and a warm hand was stretched out.
Xu Zhihuai raised his eyes in a daze and saw Zhu Suxing arranging the quilt for her with his own hands, smiling as softly as the wind: "The imperial doctor said that you are not seriously injured, you are just a little frightened, and the wound on your hand will be healed by applying medicine, and your muscles and bones were not hurt. "
Zhu Xuxing held her face, looked at her and said, "Now I only ask you one thing, you must answer me honestly."
"yes."
"Has someone violated you just now?"
Xu Zhihuai's pupils trembled slightly and his heart was empty. He shook his head subconsciously: "Your Highness... no... they just tortured me..."
This is not something that can be easily covered up, but she bets that the prince will believe her!
As long as she says no, it means no!
Zhu Xuxing looked into her eyes as if he breathed a sigh of relief: "Your grievances today are all because of me. Qingyi Hou Weili is a ruthless man with vicious methods, and he is also a person of great importance to the court. Although I cannot punish him severely, I will not let him go." What happened today will happen again. Just rest and recover, and there is no need to worry about anything else."
Xu Zhihuai's eyes were swollen and sore. He was silent for a long time before Nuo Nuo said, "Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness...but can I still stay by Your Highness's side?"
"Why not?"
She looked up at him, opened her mouth, and gasped sadly.
Although she had been abused by Wei Li many times before, she just treated it as a dog bite and endured it. Only this time, a sense of helpless shame welled up in her heart.
Zhu Xuxing tapped her hesitant lips with his index finger, his eyes deep: "When I was a child, my eldest sister taught me a truth. She said: everything that happens in the world has a beginning and an end, no matter it is good or bad. These years, I think you must have gone through a lot of hardships when you are alone and helpless. In fact, I don’t have to know everything about some things. If you want to say it, you can say it, and if you don’t want to say it, don’t say it. "
Xu Zhihuai was stunned in disbelief, deeply moved and confused at the same time.
Why is he so good?
Although he is clearly in the center of the whirlpool of power and glory, sitting on the top of the world, he can still maintain such a pure, kind and generous nature. Is he really a heavenly being?
Thinking about it, Xu Zhihuai's eyes were a little flustered, and tears fell, causing him to sigh slightly and bend down to embrace her. The warm chest was reassuring, Xu Zhihuai buried his head in his chest, grabbed his shirt with his unbandaged hand, and held it tightly, fearing that he would regret it at any time.
"Okay, crying will hurt your health."
Under his gentle comfort, Xu Zhihuai gradually calmed down.
Zhu Xuxing heard her gentle breathing, lowered his head and said, "I'm going to Huaizhou in a few days. Can you come with me?"
Xu Zhihuai was shocked again when he heard this. Fortunately, she was in his arms and did not let him see the change in her expression. Huaizhou was the real hometown of Xu Zhihuai, not hers.
Should she go?
When Zhu Xuxing saw that she didn't respond, he continued: "This trip is in a hurry. I don't want to leave you alone in the capital, and you have been implicated. If the Huainan case is not solved, you and the Wu family will be inseparable."
Indeed, for her, Wu Yuan is still a trouble that cannot be ignored.
Xu Zhihuai raised his head slightly, looked up at Zhu Xiuxing's face, and looked straight into his gentle and clear phoenix eyes. He nodded cautiously: "I will go wherever Your Highness goes. I am not afraid of anything when Your Highness is here." After saying that, he lowered his head and leaned towards him. Warm embrace, craving for this moment of peace.
Wei Li was indeed ruthless, but he miscalculated.
The prince has a broad mind, which is beyond the reach of his vicious heart.
This disturbance was so loud that rumors spread both inside and outside the palace.
Xie Wuyou, who lived in seclusion, was originally only waiting for her to be her crown princess and had no time to pay attention to the gossip outside. However, she kept hearing the name of a person mentioned by her mother-in-law again and again, Xu Zhihuai.
Huai is water, the clearest water.
Just by hearing her name, she knew she was a pretty girl.
Xie Wuyou also has a naturally beautiful face. She also inherited her mother's slenderness, slender limbs and slim body.
A sixteen-year-old shouldn't be naive. Mrs. Xie only got such a girl when she was in her thirties, so she naturally has high hopes for her.
The mother and daughter returned home after fasting and heard a message from someone in the palace. After hearing this, Mrs. Xie felt dissatisfied, her face darkened slightly, and she did not even want to drink tea.
Xie Wuyou was concentrating on drinking tea. Seeing that she didn't even ask a question, Mrs.
Xie Wuyou saw his mother's serious face and just smiled: "Because mother gave me a good name. I am born to be carefree, so why bother myself?"
Mrs. Xie smiled coaxed by her: "You, you, you really don't worship Buddha or burn incense, and you don't want to exert any strength. The prince is the future king and your husband. His business is your business, and his people are Your people."
Xie Wuyou finished drinking the tea and leaned back lazily: "Mother, there is no greedy cat or man in the world. His Highness the Crown Prince also has seven emotions and six desires, and he will look after the orioles and swallows in the harem even more. No less, if I worry about this now, am I not looking for trouble for myself?"
"What you are saying is that it is precisely because men are dishonest that we have to take care of them, and we women have to handle them."
"How to control it? When my father and uncle took concubines and took in children, no one could control them. Especially my second uncle, who sneered at how virtuous and gentle my aunt was, and would rather go to a Goulanwa shop to have fun than Cherish the people in front of you, no matter how much trouble you cause..."
"Don't say this! This is not what a girl who has not left the government should say. I will take care of your uncle's affairs and will not allow them to be presumptuous."
Xie Wuyou's careless words touched Madam Xie's heart and made her frown.
Xie Wuyou added: "My daughter knows your good intentions. The position of the Crown Princess is not only my hope, I know it in my heart."
Mrs. Xie lowered her eyes after hearing this, with a worried expression: "The origin of that woman is unknown. Since she is the bedkeeper, how can she get favors? She has received favors and a belt, even though she is just a personal attendant on the surface. Maid, even Qingyi Hou Weili can't touch her now. The prince's thoughts are really hard to figure out."
Xie Wuyou said easily: "We don't have to think about it. We can see through everything without telling it. I don't have to dislike the people the prince likes. I just have some taboos about the people the prince hates."
Seeing that her daughter responded so easily, Mrs. Xie felt dissatisfied but also felt a little relieved.
"Mom knows you don't bother arguing with that kind of person. To be honest, it doesn't matter how many women the prince has. I'm just worried that the prince deliberately uses Xu Zhihuai to disgust us and run against our Xie family."
"Those who abandon me will not be able to keep yesterday's day; those who mess up my heart will be troubled today. I only do what I should do."
Although Xie Wuyou grew up in a boudoir, he still had some profound knowledge.
Nowadays, everyone knows that the emperor's attitude towards the Xie family is very subtle. He is respectful on the surface but wary secretly. As the saying goes, one waxes and wanes while the other waxes. The position of the crown princess was a "reward" that my grandfather got after a long game. She knew that her future would be difficult because she was a member of the Xie family. No one mentioned her when she did well, and everyone despised her when she did bad.
