There are no real coincidences.
Wei Li is the best at calculating.
When Xu Zhihuai let go of Jinhua, he turned around and looked at the Huangji Guards behind him. They stood there with expressionless faces, as if they were watching every move of their master and servant.
They watched and remembered waiting to go back and report to Wei Li.
A bit of ferocious hatred appeared on Xu Zhihuai's picturesque face, but it quickly disappeared. She helped Jinhua up and held her shoulders tightly: "You have been suffering these days."
She came to the tombstone of Xu Zhihuai's father and mother, kowtowed respectfully three times, expressed her sorrow on her lips, and thought in her heart.
She remembered what the prince had said last night, and she squeezed out many tears until her eyes were red and swollen from crying.
Jinhua stared blankly, suddenly realizing that the girl's clothes and accessories were all gorgeous, even more so than before.
After the worship, Xu Zhihuai naturally wanted to take Jinhua back with him, but Huang Jiwei stopped him. Their arrogant and cold attitude instantly aroused Xu Zhihuai's anger.
"His Highness asked you to protect me, but he did not say that you are qualified to give orders to me. She is mine, and it is not up to you whether she should be taken back or not."
They are all from Wei Li, why are you pretending to be confused with her?
Xu Zhihuai insisted on taking Jinhua back to his residence. When he reached the door, he was stopped by Yue Yichuan himself. He frowned and said in a bad tone, "No outsiders should be around Your Highness!" After saying that, he pulled out the long sword from his waist, full of murderous intent.
"Master Yue, please don't make it difficult for her! She is my maid, just a weak woman with no strength to tie a chicken. I will explain it clearly to Your Highness." Xu Zhihuai calmly looked at Jinhua and whispered: "You wait here obediently, waiting for me."
Jinhua was cautious and obedient, her mind was a little confused, and she couldn't figure it out for a while.
Xu Zhihuai would not do stupid things that made no sense. Instead of talking nonsense with Yue Yichuan, it would be better to go directly to the prince. The red and swollen eyes, the sad expression, and the mute cry were enough to arouse Zhu Xiuxing's pity.
Sure enough, he took her into his arms and comforted her softly: "I didn't expect that your maid would be so loyal to protect the Lord and never leave her."
Xu Zhihuai murmured and begged: "Jinhua has been with me since she was a child, treating me as her master and sister... Your Highness, she is a good child, please let me keep her." After saying this, tears fell from his eyes, becoming more and more tender. Pitiful.
Zhu Xiuxing nodded immediately.
Xu Zhihuai cried with joy, and cried even harder.
Do your best to act.
Zhu Xuxing patted her back and said: "God really knows how to play tricks on people. However, it is rare to find something lost. It seems that you have gained more in Huaizhou this time than me."
Xu Zhihuai heard these words in his heart, quickly raised his head and looked at him with tearful eyes: "What's wrong, Your Highness?"
The bright starry sky of Zhu Suxing is covered with a light haze.
"Your Highness has something on his mind. Is it because of Mr. Xie..."
"Maybe I shouldn't have come to Huaizhou this time. Now that things have not been sorted out, it has only increased their momentum."
Xie Junhao deliberately made a mess of the witnesses and physical evidence, and his confessions were different every time he was interrogated. Even in the face of Wei Li's methods, he was not afraid of boiling water.
Xu Zhihuai blinked: "What ability does Mr. Xie have that he can win people's hearts like this?"
If they are not afraid of death, aren't they afraid of Wei Li?
Zhu Xuxing's tone seemed to be filled with emotion and helplessness: "There has always been a joke in the court that the Xie family has officials all over the world."
It turns out that the people recommended by the Xie family have always been very talented. Every time a local official is recommended and assigned to a certain place, the officials at the upper and lower levels who will be appointed later must be from the same county and town. Slowly, their power has become a local phenomenon and cannot be underestimated.
Xu Zhihuai nodded slowly: "They rely on the power of the Xie family and are arrogant, so they dare to be so disrespectful to His Highness."
After Xu Zhihuai finished speaking, he sat up straight, looked at Zhu Suxing's melancholy face with a pious and serious expression, and asked gently: "I don't understand, why should His Highness be bullied by them?"
Zhu Xuxing looked at her watery eyes and sighed inexplicably: "How wonderful would it be if everyone in the world were as clean and clear as you?"
Xu Zhihuai's eyebrows were curved, his hands were wrapped around his neck, and he pressed close to him: "Your Highness, do you want to continue the investigation?"
"The matter is so important that we cannot ignore it."
Zhu Xuxing is too gentle and kind, and since he still has Wei Li in his hand, it is not impossible to grab him by force.
Xu Zhihuai stared into his phoenix eyes: "He, the southeast, the northwest, have all been officials for one time. They are officials of the imperial court, and it is time for His Highness to set rules for them. I remember His Highness said that Huainan is the most important..."
Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Zhu Xuxing raised his eyebrows and met her moist eyes: "What do you want to say?"
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs." Xu Zhihuai blinked, with a slightly nasal tone, which sounded a bit innocent.
"If the Huainan case cannot be completely settled, His Highness will not be happy... His Highness is not happy, and I am happy too."
Who wouldn’t like to hear the whispers of gentle whispers?
Zhu Xiuxing acts steadily and has a kind heart, which does not mean that he has no ambition or courage. If going to Huainan is an adventure, then coming to Huaizhou is also an adventure? Naturally, a dignified prince cannot rise to power by ruthlessly killing people like the Marquis of Qingyi. He just wanted to convince others with his virtue, but ended up at a disadvantage.
Zhu Xuxing was not only not annoyed by her bold advice, but felt inexplicably happy in his heart.
He caressed her face, looked at her bright eyes without any haze, and smiled brightly: "Everyone advises me to be cautious and low-key, but you are different."
Xu Zhihuai found that he had grasped his thoughts and became even bolder: "Your Highness, really don't want to go to Huainan to see? I heard that the people there live extremely hard..."
Zhu Xuxing put away his smile and said in a deep tone: "I know, I know everything."
He has had this idea in his mind for a long time, but no one has ever agreed with it, not even Wei Li.
To his surprise today, it turned out that Xu Zhihuai was his soulmate.
The thoughtful expression on Zhu Xuxing's face said it all.
Xu Zhihuai stopped when he felt good, hugged him tightly, wrapped his whole body around his body, and turned his body into soft vines. She rested her head on his shoulder, glanced at the door outside the curtain intentionally or unintentionally, and found a figure standing there.
Xu Zhihuai's breath was slightly suffocated, and he stared straight at the shadow. Soon, the originally ajar door was pushed open silently, and half of the shadow's face was revealed. It was not clear, and it looked like a ghost that had suddenly appeared.
The man appeared silently and disappeared silently.
He heard everything she just said.
who is he? Is it Wei Li, or Wei Li's minions?
Empress Xu Zhihuai was extremely frightened. She breathed slowly and whispered softly into Zhu Xiuxing's ear: "I want to follow His Highness to Huainan."
"No, Huainan is too dangerous..."
Xu Zhihuai didn't wait for him to finish, and begged softly: "I will go wherever Your Highness goes. I don't want to be separated from Your Highness, don't..."
He was her talisman, how could she not hold on tightly.
