The cool autumn wind blew on Xu Zhihuai's sweaty back, cooling her heart and dispelling her fear.
In such good weather, she neither deserved nor could die.
Even though I was careful every step of the way, I still couldn't escape this damn fate.
God wanted to play her to death, but she refused to admit defeat.
Xu Zhihuai looked like a thorn, and begged in a low voice: "Zhihuai can't help himself, but I hope that your highness the princess will spare my life for the sake of the prince."
"Indeed, there can be a hundred reasons to get rid of you, but there is only one reason why I don't kill you."
Zhu Weizhen took the initiative to reach out and put his hand lightly on Xu Zhihuai's shoulder, seeming to comfort him.
Xu Zhihuai raised his face to look at her. Through his wet eyes, he couldn't tell whether it was compassion or murderous intent in her eyes. He could only feel that every word was weighing heavily, weighing her down.
"When the prince is happy, I am happy. When the prince is sad, I am sad. I will not kill you or make things difficult for you. You must always remember why you are still alive? Who are you living for?"
Xu Zhihuai nodded repeatedly, with tears in his eyes: "I only live for Your Highness."
Zhu Weizhen smiled lightly: "This is the best."
"Get up, don't let the prince see your red eyes from crying and make him feel distressed."
Xu Zhihuai stood up slowly and tried his best to sit on the chair, her posture slightly stiff. She took out her handkerchief and wiped the tears on her face, while Zhu Weizhen opposite gave her another cup of tea.
"Now that you've finished talking, the only one left is Wei Li."
Xu Zhihuai's hand holding the tea cup shook again. Zhu Weizhen saw it clearly and said in a calm tone: "There are tens of thousands of Huangji Guards, who dare not be afraid? Even if there is no Huangji Fourth Division, Wei Li alone is enough to scare you." His soul is gone. Not to mention you, more than half of the officials in the court are trembling with fear even looking at him."
Xu Zhihuai bit his lip hard to hold back tears.
"Wei Li has his own motives for choosing you. It is common sense for you to listen to him and approach the prince. I have no intention of pursuing it. The past has passed after all, and the future is what matters."
"Your Highness, please give me your instructions. Zhi Huai will do his best."
Zhu Weizhen suddenly smiled, a very kind smile: "You are so weak, why do you still want to fight with him?"
Xu Zhihuai bit his lip and said, "As long as His Highness says a word, Zhihuai is willing to take risks?"
She knew that she didn't have the ability to get rid of Wei Li, it was just to show her loyalty. After all, Wei Li was the culprit who stained her innocence and took away her freedom. He deserves to die!
Zhu Weizhen shook his head: "Wei Li is the Crown Prince's right-hand man. Do you know how much effort the court has spent on cultivating him into what he is today? In fact, he is as indispensable to the Crown Prince as you are."
Xu Zhihuai secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
"It's because Zhi Huai was reckless and didn't know how high the sky is..."
Zhu Weizhen's tone became more and more relaxed: "Can I tell you a secret?"
"..."
Xu Zhihuai stared silently, feeling uneasy.
"Do you know why Wei Li was granted the title of Marquis of Qingyi?"
"I don't know."
Zhu Weizhen smiled: "Blue shirts and commoners are high but not expensive. Wei Li was born in a humble background, and he is the lowest class of people. Although he has a title now, he has no hereditary honor. To put it more bluntly, in his lifetime They are just swords for killing people, not officials of the imperial court."
The sword is unsheathed and looks extremely sharp, but in the end it is just a thing that can be manipulated by others.
The same is true for Wei Li. No matter how arrogant, ferocious or arrogant he is, he will never get the real reward for his meritorious service or the respect and admiration of the world.
He is a murderous thing.
Xu Zhihuai was shocked for a moment.
Wei Li was despised, ignored and suppressed. This was something she really wanted to see. However, Zhu Weizhen's expression and tone when he said these words were so calm, so natural, so calm, and she could not hear the slightest care from her words, which were calm and contemptuous, gentle and ruthless.
Wei Li...he is really a beast that everyone despises.
Xu Zhihuai bit his lip and remained silent for a long time.
Zhu Weizhen deliberately reminded: “The tea won’t taste good when it’s cold.”
Xu Zhihuai suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
The fragrant tea entered her mouth, but it was so bitter that it chilled her heart.
Zhu Weizhen saw all her nervousness and uneasiness, and whispered softly: "Today I have made peace with you, so you don't have to be so afraid of him anymore."
"yes."
Zhu Weizhen asked again: "Did he act arrogantly towards you last time in Xiangshan?"
Xu Zhihuai did not dare to hesitate and said, "The Marquis has always behaved strangely and unpredictablely. Last time he just threatened me with words not to forget his support. There was nothing extraordinary."
Zhu Weizhen asked: "Is it not, or did it not happen in time?"
Xu Zhihuai's face turned red and white, and his breathing was unsteady: "Although I hate Wei Li very much... but he is always loyal to the prince..."
Zhu Weizhen saw her talking, with a pitiful look out of breath, and said slowly: "You don't have to cover up for him, he is not a person who follows the rules. You are the woman he likes, how could he do it so easily? Let me let you go? If you hate Wei Li, then hate him till the end."
"Wei Li has Wei Li's uses, and you have your own benefits. If he really can't stop lusting after you, then it's your fault."
When Xu Zhihuai heard this, he felt like a thunderbolt struck his head.
This woman is really terrible. She can tell the biggest shame in other people's hearts with just one sentence.
Wei Li and her used each other, and their unclear relationship was the most shameful secret in her heart.
"Your Highness... I am the Crown Prince's woman. I was unable to protect myself before, but now I will never let anyone tarnish my innocence!"
Zhu Weizhen smiled: "Innocent?"
This smile took Xu Zhihuai's breath away.
Zhu Weizhen's tone was faint: "Which woman in this world doesn't want to be innocent? But who can be truly innocent? Why can't those who have been ruined be innocent? What I hate most in my life is using these two people. The words are pressed on the woman’s body!”
Xu Zhihuai slowly raised his eyes, with hidden tears.
Zhu Weizhen continued slowly: "Love and love are always difficult to understand. A ruthless and unjust person will also be moved by lust. Wei Li is a wolf now, but he will also become a mad dog. Really At that time, you may be his weakness."
"but I……"
"For the sake of the prince, you must be Wei Li's weakness and use your body to make him fall to his knees!"
Xu Zhihuai's pupils trembled, and his state of mind was like a strong wind blowing past, leaving no grass growing, desolate and desolate.
The fog disperses and the truth emerges.
She was put on the chessboard again.
From white to black, and then from black to white... I never expected that her most useful tool now is still this body.
Xu Zhihuai took a deep breath, and the hazy tears in his eyes instantly faded.
She stopped crying and was no longer afraid. Her heart was riddled with holes and had to be strong.
"For the crown prince, Zhihuai is willing to do anything."
