Warm fragrant nephrite, full of affection and sweetness.
She is so soft and innocent.
Zhu Xuxing couldn't help but sigh.
Xu Zhihuai seemed to be born with the ability to always make him cheerful and comfortable with a few words.
Unfortunately, this moment of intimacy was interrupted by Yue Yichuan's slight cough. He stood a few steps away with a serious look on his face.
"Your Highness, I have something important to report for my humble duty."
In such a hurry, it must be urgent.
Xu Zhihuai left knowingly and watched the two of them walking into the study one after another, secretly guessing in his heart.
Is it related to Wei Li?
She clearly hated him and wished he would disappear forever, but no matter how raging her hatred was, she still knew very clearly that she was still no match for Wei Li.
Sometimes the invisible is scarier than the visible.
When he appears, she can still be careful, but when he disappears, she must keep her mind open at all times, observe every corner, and pay attention to every movement.
Because she didn't know where he would hide in the shadows, or what vicious tricks he wanted to play.
What Yue Yichuan reported was indeed related to Wei Li.
It turned out that Xie Ningchao had recently planned to secretly join the three departments of household and criminal officials to jointly submit a joint letter to impeach Wei Li, and he had great intentions of launching an army to hold him accountable.
Zhu Xuxing laughed angrily: "They are going to retaliate with tooth."
Yue Yichuan muttered: "Your Highness, Wei Li has always been ruthless in his work. If he continues to do this, I'm afraid things will get even bigger."
"It's better to let him kill a few more."
Zhu Xuxing blurted out almost subconsciously, and Yue Yichuan looked at him in disbelief, his eyes confused and uneasy.
Zhu Xuxing himself was only a belated observer. Seeing Yue Yichuan's expression of embarrassment, he smiled sadly and said, "Didn't Wei Li say something before? As long as you kill enough people, bad guys can become good guys."
Although Zhu Xuxing's anger towards the Xie family was wrapped up in his perfect upbringing, everyone could see that his patience had reached its limit.
"Wei Li is arrogant and arrogant, and speaks without restraint. Your Highness should not take it to heart, let alone take it to heart."
Zhu Xuxing calmed down for a moment and then asked, "Where is he now?"
"Tongzhou."
"Let him come back. If the Xie family wants to touch him, they will naturally use any means. He must stay in the capital to be safe."
Yue Yichuan was also worried that Wei Li would get into trouble, so he nodded repeatedly: "I understand the humble position."
Xu Zhihuai was half asleep and half awake when she suddenly heard Zhu Xuxing kissing her ear and whispering: "Go to bed early, and I will come with you tomorrow."
When she opened her eyes, all she saw was his figure leaving in a hurry.
Xu Zhihuai's sleepiness suddenly disappeared, he stood up slowly, and then called Aunt Nan: "Look where your Highness has gone?"
After hearing this, Aunt Nan looked at her meaningfully and said, "It would not be a good idea for Your Majesty to leave at this hour."
Xu Zhihuai frowned, and there was a hint of schadenfreude in her expression and tone: "Auntie is someone who has worked with the Marquis after all. She shouldn't be so confused when talking and doing things, regardless of the importance."
When Aunt Nan saw her mentioning the Marquis again, her expression suddenly changed and her interest faded.
Jinhua brought an embroidery stool to accompany her. Xu Zhihuai propped his head with one hand, feeling completely sleepy. Suddenly he felt some quietness outside the window and couldn't help but ask: "Why is it so quiet today? I can't hear it barking."
Jinhua was slightly startled and ran out to take a look. A moment later, she came back in a panic carrying the cage and babbling.
It turned out that the thrush in the cage was lying there upright, motionless.
Xu Zhihuai stretched out his hand and touched it. He was as stiff as wood. He was afraid that he had been dead for a while.
Jinhua clung to Xu Zhihuai's side, feeling a little at a loss.
Xu Zhihuai seemed to be sighing but not sighing: "Ask Aunt Nan to send someone to clean it up. If you are afraid, don't get involved."
Another life lost...
Death is often a sign, and the omen is unknown.
Xu Zhihuai looked at the bird's deathly gray eyes, feeling faintly uneasy in his heart.
Although it was just a thrush, it was rewarded by the Crown Princess.
He died in such an inexplicable way, as if she was careless and did it on purpose.
Xu Zhihuai's premonition was very accurate.
Xie Wuyou had no intention of pursuing this matter, but because she happened to hear about it when her mother entered the palace, her face instantly darkened: "You don't know what is good! My dear, this is a good opportunity to deal with her."
Xie Wuyou frowned and shook his head in opposition.
But Mrs. Xie refused: "Since your Majesty entered the palace, has Your Highness ever treated your Majesty sincerely? Your Majesty, please don't think that we don't know, in fact..."
She hesitated to speak, with a sad expression on her face, which made the two nasolabial folds even more profound: "Your Majesty is the Crown Princess, your Majesty should not let that Xu Zhihuai take the limelight."
Xie Wuyou looked at his mother.
Although her makeup was exquisite, she could not hide her haggardness and exhaustion.
She suddenly asked: "Did something happen?"
Mrs. Xie's eyes paused and she stopped talking.
Xie Wuyou knew that she always reported good news but not bad news: "If something happens, you can't hide it from me."
Mrs. Xie's eyes turned red instantly, and her hands clasped in front of her were rubbing the handkerchief uneasily, as if she was trying to suppress some emotion.
"What happened?"
Mrs. Xie endured it again and again, biting her lip and said: "Your uncle is missing..."
Xie Wuyou's hand shook slightly as he put down the tea bowl. Apart from being surprised, he also felt puzzled: "When did it happen?"
"It's been half a month at least."
"How did you lose it?"
Mrs. Xie sighed, with a look of hatred on her face: "He said he went to Tongzhou to purchase goods, and he took five hundred taels of cash when he left. Your aunt thought he went to pay off bad debts outside."
Xie Wuyou felt bored: "I'm probably going to gamble again. Just let him go! It's better to bet and get rid of your hands and feet, and get away with it."
Mrs. Xie couldn't bear it and said: "He is always your uncle."
Xie Wuyou frowned: "You can control it for a while, but you can't control it forever."
Seeing her daughter's resolute attitude, Mrs. Xie hesitated and said, "He might have been caught. That... Qingyi Hou Weili has been chasing our family..."
Just mentioning the name Wei Li made her heart beat uncontrollably.
Xie Wuyou was not afraid, only confused: "Mother, don't make assumptions, scare yourself, look for people if they are missing! If you are afraid of something happening, let the government take action, no matter whether he is Qingyi Marquis or Huang Jiwei, you don't dare to do it in front of Our presence has violated the court’s rules.”
Mrs. Xie was worried: "Your Majesty, in fact, I am most worried about you... Wei Li is the Crown Prince's confidant. If Wei Li really wants to touch our people, it will be His Highness's intention. If Your Highness is interested in murder, Your Majesty should What should I do?"
Xie Wuyou's eyes flashed slightly, and he subconsciously hid his hands in his wide sleeves and clenched them tightly, not wanting his mother to notice his nervousness and uneasiness.
"Mother's words are serious. How could your Highness do this? I will take care of things in the palace if it doesn't matter." She avoided the important and tried to persuade her mother not to think nonsense. As for Xu Zhihuai, she would not do anything to her.
Even without Xu Zhihuai, His Highness would not have looked at her twice. We are already at a disadvantage, so why offend one more person.
