"Shh!"
Wei Li had enough of her hypocritical concern, pinched her neck and issued a low warning.
The dark room was just like him, with real murderous intent everywhere.
Xu Zhihuai struggled slightly.
"Master Hou, let me go!"
Her skin was extremely sensitive, but he always dealt harshly, leaving traces that she could not hide.
"The Marquis and I haven't seen each other for several months, and I was shocked to hear that something happened to the Marquis. I waited anxiously until today, and finally we met. Why is this so..."
"I'm tired of hearing your tricks to coax people."
Xu Zhihuai understood clearly that there was an evil fire in his heart. Whatever she said now was wrong, a big mistake, but she couldn't say nothing.
The warmth that cannot be conveyed by fingertips can only be expressed in words.
What she is best at is sweet talk.
"I have been waiting for Mr. Hou. I heard that Mr. Hou was injured, and I was almost dying of anxiety."
Wei Li snorted a breath of cold air from his nose and turned his back to her: "My wife is living like a fish in water in the capital. How can I be in the mood to worry about my life and death."
Just by looking at his back, you can tell that he is angry. How could the majestic Marquis of Qingyi be so disadvantaged?
Xu Zhihuai hugged him from behind, and his solid back was like a thick wall.
Her soft cheeks pressed against the straight lines of his back, rubbing gently, coquettishly: "If there is no Mr. Marquis, what hope do I have in the future? I am Mr. Marquis's, and I will always be."
Wei Li looked gloomy and stood motionless.
Xu Zhihuai clasped his hands together, hugged him tightly and said, "Master Hou went to Fengdu and suffered such a great injustice. I am so sad."
Wei Li couldn't help frowning when he heard her low sobs: "Do you really want to mourn for me?"
"I feel sorry for Mr. Hou!"
"Xu Zhihuai, do you really mean it?"
Wei Li suddenly asked.
Xu Zhihuai's eyes flashed and he slowly let go of his hand.
"Have I been right? How dare a woman like you sympathize with me? It's really ridiculous."
"Why on earth does the Marquis want to see me?"
Sure enough, pretending is not sincere enough.
If tender words don't work, you have to find something else.
Wei Li turned around and looked at her with raised eyebrows: "I heard that you and the little princess get along well?"
Xu Zhihuai said truthfully: "Her Royal Highness the Princess handed her over to me, so naturally I dare not neglect her. The little princess is about to return to Fengdu. I wonder if it has something to do with the Marquis' injury?"
"The palace of Fengduhou is very deep, but she gave birth to a good daughter who can be deceived by everyone."
Xu Zhihuai took advantage of the situation and said: "The little princess and I are destined to be together. We like each other."
"You do have some abilities. You can always win over people you want to tease."
"For Mr. Hou, there is nothing I can't do."
Wei Li snorted with disdain.
"If the Marquis doesn't believe it, just give him the order."
"Okay, then I order you to get rid of Marquis Fengdu, and kill him quickly and simply."
He really dared to say...
Xu Zhihuai avoided the important and took the easy way out: "Fengdu is thousands of miles away. Even if I want to help the Marquis take revenge, I have no chance. By the way, have you heard about it, the Marquis? His Highness the Crown Prince also wants to go to Fengdu, but the Xie family's affairs have not yet been resolved." It has not been completely settled, and the thirty thousand taels of silver that the prince has been longing for have not been collected..."
Wei Li knew that she deliberately avoided the topic, so he said: "I went to Fengdu just to deal with money matters. But they didn't give me any money or face, so they just acted cruelly."
Xu Zhihuai was slightly surprised: "What on earth is going on?"
The mysterious Marquis of Fengdu was probably just like Xie Ningchao, who had been fed an appetite by power and lost his duty in his complacency.
"The Marquis of Fengdu is different from the Xie Ning Dynasty. He can't be easily defeated by some tricks and writing a few memorials. He was originally the leader of one party. Back then, he was chased and beaten by the imperial court before he had to surrender. Now, the imperial court seems to have changed. It gave him hope for a comeback.”
Why should a man who can be king and dominate himself condescend to others?
"This is troublesome."
Xu Zhihuai muttered: "I heard the prince said that Fengdu is easy to defend but difficult to attack."
"It's not that it's easy to defend and difficult to attack, it's that there's no way to break through from the outside. The terrain there is rugged, with mountains connected to each other, and the narrow passages that can pass through for carriages, horses, and food are the most suitable for ambush. They stood on the top of a high mountain, Hook your fingers, and a thousand arrows will be fired, it will be a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood."
Xu Zhihuai frowned: "So, Fengdu is absolutely out of the question."
"Hmph, how can His Highness put himself in danger? The dirty work of the imperial court has always been my own hard work."
Although Wei Li was blindfolded, he still walked steadily and saw the furnishings in the room clearly. Moreover, he arrived at the window accurately and stood facing the light. The warm light covered his body, but it could not warm his stone heart.
Xu Zhihuai thought for a moment and said, "But Marquis Fengdu dares to leave his daughter in the palace. Isn't he worried?"
After all, she is her biological daughter, how can she let her go?
"Those who like power will naturally be willing to give up anything. So what about their own flesh and blood? Use them if you can, and throw them away if you can't."
Xu Zhihuai's eyes narrowed slightly: "As the Marquis said, the little princess is already an abandoned child."
"You care about her very much."
"The little princess is a very good person, with a simple and simple temperament."
Wei Li sneered: "Her mouth has killed many people."
Xu Zhihuai frowned: "Master Hou, don't you believe she can really be a psychic?"
Wei Li lowered his tone: "Even if it's true, so what! In a world where even living people have a hard time surviving, what ability do those ghosts and monsters have to fight with me?"
Although he is vicious, he is also sober.
Xu Zhihuai took the initiative to come to him again: "What the Marquis said is true, then what should I do next to help the Marquis?"
"Xu Zhihuai, you don't want to help me, you still want to be the crown princess."
"Master Hou and I are on the same boat."
Wei Li turned around suddenly, his wide sleeves carrying the wind.
He was condescending, his thin lips slightly hooked: "It's not a boat, but a bed! Xu Zhihuai, even if you become a queen or a queen mother one day, you will still be the woman I, Wei Li, have played with."
Xu Zhihuai has long been accustomed to such sarcastic remarks.
She looked up at his cold face and boldly reached out her hand, lightly touching his Adam's apple with her cool fingertips.
His Adam's apple rolled and his breathing became heavy.
What's the use of being tough!
The body is the most honest.
Xu Zhihuai touched his Adam's apple in a very teasing way.
"Master Hou is so cruel..."
Wei Li grabbed her hand, his big palm like iron claws.
Xu Zhihuai cried out in pain and plunged into his arms with an aggrieved look on his face, like an innocent little beast, humble and trying to please him.
Wei Li smelled the refreshing fragrance of her body, like countless small tentacles stretching out from the darkness, densely packed around his heart.
He obviously hated her flattery, but he couldn't get rid of her.
Wei Li quietly warned: "You are causing trouble."
Xu Zhihuai nestled herself into his arms: "I have been waiting for Master Hou for so long, and it's not easy... I will never let go."
