At midnight, the third watch.
Xu Zhihuai was sweating profusely, struggling desperately, and suddenly woke up from the nightmare.
it hurts!
In her dream, her whole body was on fire, and she was in so much pain that her heart was broken.
Xu Zhihuai sat down with the quilt in his arms, breathing slowly. Not wanting to wake up Zhu Xuxing beside him, he hurriedly put on his clothes and came to the outer hall. Unexpectedly, Jinhua came over with sleepy eyes. Seeing her frightened face, he instantly understood what was going on. It's over.
The queen must have had another nightmare.
Seeing her distressed face, Xu Zhihuai forced a smile: "I'm fine, it's just an old problem."
Unexpectedly, Jinhua held her hand tightly, pursed her lips, and looked like she was about to cry.
Xu Zhihuai hurriedly made a "hush" gesture, but before he could speak, he saw Aunt Nan walking from the darkness, her footsteps as light as a ghost, as sneaky as that beast Wei Li.
Xu Zhihuai's eyes suddenly changed and became extremely sharp.
Aunt Nan said calmly: "Is your nightmare still not cured? Do you want to ask the imperial doctor to come over and take a look?"
Xu Zhihuai was very wary of her, and he would not accept her kindness: "I know my own body well, so there is no need to bother."
Aunt Nan took a step forward, and the shadow behind her was stretched by the candlelight: "Your Majesty's precious body needs to be taken good care of. I know some folk remedies to soothe the nerves, it's worth a try."
Xu Zhihuai chuckled: "It's better to skip the medicine. I drank so much before, and it made me miserable. Auntie, you don't have to do everything too hard."
The only way to cure her nightmare is to get rid of Wei Li. When she sees with her own eyes that he has fallen into the Abi Hell and never recovered, she will never have nightmares again.
The morning light is bright and the beauty is exquisite.
Xu Zhihuai picked out a plain and elegant dress and went over to say hello to Xie Wuyou.
As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, the palace maids stepped aside nervously, as if they had seen something they shouldn't have seen.
Xiurong was even more excited when she sent the message: "My dear, that evildoer is here."
Xie Wuyou frowned and looked at her: "You are never so unruly at home, how come you have forgotten your virtues in the palace?"
Seeing her serious face, Xiurong hurriedly lowered her head and admitted her mistake: "I was wrong. I was so angry that I couldn't stop talking..."
Xie Wuyou raised his hand to signal her to shut up.
What is supposed to come will come.
Xu Zhihuailian moved lightly, saluted respectfully, and said in a soft and sweet voice: "Greetings to the empress, may the empress be blessed with peace of mind."
Xie Wuyou said calmly: "Get up and talk. Come and watch."
Xiurong moved the show stool and glanced at Xu Zhihuai, finding that her side face was exquisite and delicate, her skin was smooth and delicate, her skin was smooth and delicate, and her skin was white and pink.
Xu Zhihuai sat down slowly. Xie Wuyou looked at her seriously for a few times and said in a deep voice: "We should have met a long time ago."
Xie Wuyou had bright eyes and white teeth, and there was no sign of contempt or scorn in his eyebrows, only a bit of indifference and a bit of arrogance.
Some people's nobility is born, while some people's nobility is faked.
Xie Wuyou is obviously the former. Although he was clearly at a disadvantage, he remained calm and received people and things, giving him a sense of indifference and alienation.
Xu Zhihuai stood up and bowed to her again: "I was rude and negligent. I didn't come over earlier to pay my respects to you. I hope you will atone for your sins."
"I have no intention of punishing you."
Xie Wuyou stared at her: "It's rare to see her today, so why don't we speak clearly."
Seeing her being so direct, Xu Zhihuai nodded meekly: "Please give me some advice."
"I heard that you have studied, and you often accompany His Highness in the study to review government affairs. In this case, I will temporarily treat you as a sensible person. You know how unpleasant the rumors outside are. I also listen. I have done it a lot, but I never took it to heart. I will slowly see whether you are good or bad. If you are narrow-minded and only know how to be jealous, I will not watch you act arrogantly. If you keep to yourself and understand your priorities , I will not wrong you, let alone look down on you."
Xie Wuyou withdrew his gaze and looked out the window: "There will not be only one kind of flower in the world, and there will not be only one woman by your Highness's side. It's just a matter of time for everyone. When people are in power and flowers are in power, I am willing to do the same as Your Highness. As a person who appreciates flowers, there is no need to waste them or ruin your happiness."
Xu Zhihuai listened quietly.
She understood the meaning of her words.
Xie Wuyou wanted her to be in peace, to be obedient and docile, not to make noises, and just to be a quiet toy.
The prince is happy and everyone is pure.
"My Majesty gave me some teachings, and I have learned a lesson from you."
Xu Zhihuai smiled and said: "Your Majesty is right, Zhihuai also believes that time will change people's hearts. Zhihuai will always be grateful to heaven and earth, and to express his gratitude to Your Highness and Your Majesty for your generous and kind hearts to Zhihuai."
Xie Wuyou listened to these beautiful words she said without hesitation, and her cold and cold eyes did not change at all: "You have served His Highness well, and you should be rewarded." After saying that, she told Xiurong to get something with her eyes.
Xu Zhihuai took advantage of the situation and saw that the palace maid Xiu Rong was carrying a lacquered wood birdcage with golden hooks and tassels. There was also a black-haired thrush in the cage with dark brown ear feathers and a yellow beak.
The birds are alert but timid. When they see strangers, they sing excitedly and slightly harshly.
The cage was heavy, so Xiurong deliberately placed it on the table, right in front of Xu Zhihuai's face. When she saw her raising her eyebrows in confusion, she deliberately said: "A first-class thrush is worth a thousand dollars. I really love you."
Xu Zhihuai didn't know much about the thrush oriole, so she could only express a bit of ridicule. She looked at the thrush with soft eyes, then looked at Xie Wuyou, and slowly stood up and bowed: "Thank you, empress, for the reward."
Xie Wuyou said straightforwardly: "Someone else gave this to me to relieve my boredom. Unfortunately, I am not interested. Why not let it be your companion."
Does this mean... I gave it to her because I didn’t want it?
Thrush is like this, so is Your Highness?
Xu Zhihuai didn't stay long and returned to Chunhe Hall with the Crown Princess's meaningful gift.
Jinhua was quite strong, but it was difficult to carry the birdcage with both hands. She was still a little scared and kept staring at the big thrush in the cage with her big eyes and small eyes, nervously.
When Aunt Nan saw the bird cage, her expressionless face showed a bit of confusion, and then she ordered Jinhua to hang the cage on the porch to bask in the sun.
"The house is often filled with incense, so it's better not to keep it here."
Xu Zhihuai smiled and ate tea: "Auntie, you won't think that I really want to raise a thrush for fun. I don't have such a leisurely life... But since the princess has rewarded it, let's keep it well."
Aunt Nan nodded, and suddenly asked: "The Crown Princess is not making things difficult for the Empress, is she?"
Xu Zhihuai pursed his lips and said, "How could it be? Auntie is worrying too much. The Crown Princess is gentle and kind, speaks clearly and clearly, and she gives me lots of advice, every word of which is for my own good."
Aunt Nan frowned, secretly suspicious.
Xu Zhihuai said calmly: "Auntie doesn't understand? Why does the sky need to compete with the earth? Why does the cloud need to fight with the mud? The princess doesn't even bother to be my enemy."
