Xu Zhihuai didn't know how many people there were in the Huangji Fourth Division.
Wei Li took down all of Huainan City in just one night.
This thunderous method really frightened her.
Returning from Huainan to Huaizhou, the journey turned from danger to safety, as if I had had an unrealistic dream.
Xu Zhihuai made the bed, turned around and looked at Zhu Xiuxing who was silent, poured a glass of water and sent it to him, saying softly and concernedly: "Your Highness has been tired for a long day, please drink some water to moisten your throat."
He was dressed in black clothes, which made him look more youthful and handsome, but his eyes were deep and dark.
Zhu Xuxing took the tea but didn't drink it, just looked at it quietly.
"Your Highness..."
Xu Zhihuai sat next to him, the fragrance of the bath wafting over his body, which made him feel very comfortable.
"Your Highness is still worried about Huainan?"
Zhu Xuxing turned to look at her and said in an almost emotional tone: "It's not annoying but sad."
"Your Highness is kind-hearted, which is a blessing for the common people." Xu Zhihuai hugged him softly: "There will always be a way to solve the problems in Huainan."
"I have no choice... I have always been watching the fire from the other side. Now the fire has burned to the capital, to the court, and to me. And the only way I can use is to let Wei Li kill people."
Zhu Xuxing's tone was melancholy, and there was an insincere helplessness on his face.
"Your Highness, don't say that. Your Highness has obviously caught the Xie family."
"So what if I get caught, Xie Junhao is still the magistrate of Huaizhou."
Zhu Xuxing's eyes darkened and he looked unhappy.
Xu Zhihuai knew that he was undecided. He wanted to harm the Xie family, but behind Xie Junhao's corruption was the Xie family. It was not difficult to punish him alone, but the hard part was to pull out the carrot and bring out the mud.
The Xie family is an unfathomable quagmire.
Perhaps only Wei Li can deal with such a difficult opponent.
In the next few days, Wei Li disappeared completely, as if he had disappeared. Just when Xu Zhihuai thought he was the first to return to the capital, he suddenly appeared again, scaring Jinhua so much that she almost dropped the tray in her hand.
Xu Zhihuai, who had quick eyes and quick hands, stretched out his hand to help her, and then ordered: "The osmanthus flowers used for drinking tea by Your Highness must be washed in advance. You go down and wash them again."
Jinhua nodded repeatedly and ran away as if running away.
Wei Li saluted Zhu Xuxing, and when he saw Xu Zhihuai arriving gracefully, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
While she was making tea, he said bluntly: "Your Highness, the chaos in Huainan has almost subsided. It's time for Your Highness to return to the capital."
Zhu Xuxing frowned: "It's inappropriate to go back like this."
"Leave the mess in Huainan to me. Your Highness is about to get married. It would be wrong to delay for too long."
His voice was not loud enough for Xu Zhihuai to hear clearly.
Zhu Xuxing put down his teacup: "Let's get down to business."
Wei Li explained a few things about Huainan and then mentioned the Crown Princess: "There is news in the palace. The Empress calls Xie Wuyou into the palace every now and then. She is very considerate of her."
Zhu Xuxing frowned: "What exactly do you want to say?"
"I am telling the truth. The future crown princess is deeply loved by the empress. Is she also reminding His Highness that now is not the time to touch the Xie family."
Zhu Xuxing's eyes narrowed slightly, with a hint of uncertainty in his eyes: "Weren't you the one who said that he wanted to conquer Huainan?"
He didn't believe that Wei Li would also be afraid of the Xie family.
Wei Li said calmly: "Of course, with just a word from His Highness, I can do it anytime, anywhere."
While talking, Xu Zhihuai brought tea. She smiled and said softly: "Your Highness, Mr. Marquis, please have some tea."
She interrupted Wei Li on purpose. It was better to say less about the fight.
The moment Wei Li saw her, he suppressed the faint smile on his lips and continued: "Since His Highness left Beijing, rumors spread that His Highness was seduced by beauty and came to Huaizhou to enjoy the mountains and rivers. In order to quell the nonsense of those who are interested, His Highness should go back as soon as possible."
Xu Zhihuai's heart tightened when he heard this.
I don’t understand why he drew fire on her again.
Fortunately, Zhu Xuxing was not a person who would be easily angered by him. He looked at him for a moment and suddenly asked: "Did my father give me a secret order to go back?"
See he hit the nail on the head.
Wei Li chuckled: "Your Highness is witty and knows things like a god."
Hearing this, Xu Zhihuai turned around and retreated silently.
Zhu Xuxing looked at her back and pondered for a moment: "How is the Xie family's evidence collection going?"
"As much evidence as you want, you can get it."
"Send someone back to the capital as soon as possible to avoid further setbacks."
"I obey."
Wei Li took a sip of the tea brought by Xu Zhihuai and asked deliberately: "When is Your Highness planning to leave for Beijing?"
"tomorrow."
Wei Li had already prepared: "His Highness's boat has been prepared. Early tomorrow morning, I will board the boat in person and send His Highness back to the capital."
Zhu Xuxing raised his eyebrows: "Send it to me?"
Wei Li smiled half-heartedly: "I still have some things to deal with."
"Okay, you just happen to help me with something."
"Please give me your instructions, Your Highness."
"Thank you Junhao."
Zhu Suxing's words are concise and concise.
Wei Li understood: "Your Highness still has to punish him. But..."
"You can't cure him of being greedy, but you can cure him of dereliction of duty and lying to superiors and subordinates! In any case, this Huaizhou magistrate can no longer be handed over to him. You arrange for someone to give him a copy. I will report the follow-up matters to my father and empress before I can make a final decision. .”
Wei Li nodded and accepted the order: "I understand."
Xu Zhihuai was waiting in the corridor, seemingly tending to the flowers and plants, but in fact his eyes were always drifting towards the door. After waiting for a long time, he saw Wei Li striding out. He was very lively and walked with wind.
Xu Zhihuai hurriedly took two steps forward and curtsied: "Master Hou, please go slowly..."
Her drawn-out tone was soft and touching.
A pair of apricot eyes looked at her, their watery eyes shone timidly, and she bit her lips lightly, looking like she was hesitant to speak.
Seeing her like this, Wei Li couldn't help but curl his lips playfully and uttered two words in a low voice: "Zi Shi."
Xu Zhihuai nodded silently with a glow on his back.
After midnight, the night is as cold as water.
The whole courtyard was silent, and the lights gradually dimmed.
Xu Zhihuai got out of bed quietly. Next to him, Zhu Xuxing slept peacefully and breathed deeply.
He always slept well, unlike her who was always woken up by nightmares.
Xu Zhihuai sat by the bed and waited. After making sure everything was safe, he opened the door and went out.
There were all Huang Ji guards keeping watch outside, all dressed in pitch black and with expressionless faces. When they saw her coming out alone, one of them pointed to the guest room.
There were no lights on in the house, and it was pitch black. Only a ray of moonlight illuminated the stone steps in front of the door.
She guessed that Wei Li would definitely come.
After all, her eyes are seductive enough during the day.
Xu Zhihuai pushed the door half open, glanced around inside, and then entered the room slightly sideways.
When she was completely in the darkness, Wei Li spoke in a low voice: "You have really become bolder. You dare to have an affair with me under the eyes of the prince." After saying that, he appeared in a flash and put his arms around her slender body. His neck was kissed unexpectedly.
Xu Zhi was obedient and quiet, and did not dare to resist.
This kiss was painful and full of punishment.
Xu Zhihuai's breathing was broken and messy, and she found that he was pulling on her clothes, extremely wanton.
Wei Li sneered and pushed her against the wall, tightened her waist, and then used his knee to force her legs apart. Xu Zhihuai pretended to cater to him, raised his leg and hooked it on his body, and said delicately: "Master Hou, please help me." Please help Your Highness."
