Is this a threat or an invitation?
It’s so hard to guess.
Xu Zhihuai looked at him in the mirror and was keenly aware of something abnormal about him.
She pondered slightly and turned back to the guest: "Does the Marquis still want me to come?"
The soft tone and hidden hook always caught his heart instantly.
Wei Li was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised his hand to stroke her hair. The palm of his hand was so smooth that he couldn't hold it no matter how hard he grabbed it.
Xu Zhihuai smiled bitterly, intentionally or unintentionally: "Does the Marquis feel unwilling to meet in secret like this? He will never see the light of day."
Wei Li put his arms around her neck and tightened his arms slightly: "They let us live in the dark like animals, how can they give us dignity?"
Xu Zhihuai's eyes flashed slightly: "I'm not willing to give in. I'm really not willing to give in."
Wei Li leaned down, placed his thin lips on her ear, and breathed heavily.
Xu Zhihuai wanted to arouse the anger in his heart, gently tugged on his wide sleeves, and said in a sad tone: "I...can't I just be the Marquis's woman?"
These overly bold words made Wei Li confused and buzzing.
He pursed his lips deliberately and sneered: "Are you willing to let go of your prince?"
"For Lord Marquis, I will give up anything."
Xu Zhihuai vowed to do so.
Wei Li was silent when he heard this.
He was very aware of her little thoughts, but even if she was full of lies and had bad intentions, he still couldn't get rid of her body or her lies...
Wei Li restrained his impulse and stopped being obsessed with her. He patted her shoulder and said, "Remember what you said today and don't go back on it."
Xu Zhihuai went to hold his sleeve again, and Wei Li turned around quickly, not giving her any chance to get entangled: "Go back and do your business properly. When I want to see you, I will make arrangements for you. Don't come to the Hou Mansion again."
Xu Zhihuai hesitated for a moment and nodded meekly.
The tone of his words was very calm, without any command.
She guessed that he must have something in mind.
Xu Zhihuai returned to the palace in the morning light, but he was worried on the way.
He has to hide his identity from others when he comes and goes, as if he were a thief.
Zhu Weizhen sent his nanny to wait early and invited Xu Zhihuai to return to Qianhua Palace.
The palace is filled with the fragrance of flowers, rich and fragrant.
Zhu Weizhen sat crookedly with his clothes on, his eyes were tired, and there was a bit of laziness after waking up from sleep.
Xu Zhihuai greeted her politely and heard her chuckle: "Looking at your complexion, you look pretty good."
Xu Zhihuai responded calmly: "Your Highness, the Marquis asked me to tell me that he will go to Fengdu. I hope Your Highness can rest assured. And..."
She spoke softly and spoke clearly: "The Marquis said that I should not go to the Marquis Mansion again.
Zhu Weizhen said "Oh" gently and slowly.
"how could be?"
"The Marquis said, I am the Crown Prince's woman, I shouldn't be so humble, I don't know how high the world is..."
After hearing this, Zhu Weizhen sat up slowly, with a gentler expression on his face: "Don't be wronged, his evil fire is not directed at you."
Xu Zhihuai lowered his head pretending to be aggrieved and sniffed.
"Actually, the Marquis has long disliked me. If His Highness hadn't been here, he would never have let me live until now... Please let me go, and don't let me humiliate myself in front of the Marquis again."
"It seems that the honey trap is of no use."
Zhu Weizhen looked at her drooping little face and said thoughtfully: "That's good. You and Wei Li are completely divorced, and you don't have to live in fear anymore."
Xu Zhihuai kowtowed hurriedly to thank him.
I hope she can keep her word!
After returning to Chunhe Hall, Xu Zhihuai just wanted to catch up on her sleep, but Mu Xiuwan came to cling to her again. She was about to leave, and she felt reluctant to leave.
"My sister personally took care of the eldest princess last night. I wonder if her health is better?"
Zhu Weizhen complained that he was ill, which gave Xu Zhihuai a good reason to stay out all night.
Xu Zhihuai smiled faintly: "It's much better. I can go out in two days."
"Let's go see it together tomorrow?"
"OK."
Xu Zhihuai smiled gently.
Mu Xiuwan looked at her face for a while and then said, "Is sister worried?"
Xu Zhihuai shook his head: "No, I'm just a little tired."
Mu Xiuwan asked again: "Did you have a nightmare?"
"No, I haven't had a nightmare in a long time."
Xu Zhihuai didn't want her to ask any more questions, lest she mention those things again...
"In three days, I will go back."
Mu Xiuwan still felt a little melancholy.
She couldn't let go of her father, nor could she let go of these people in the palace. She wanted to keep both, but couldn't keep either.
Xu Zhihuai grasped her little thoughts and said: "My sister can't bear to leave me. I know it. But what else can I do? I have no freedom in the palace. I am not as high as my sister. I can go wherever I want." .”
"Empress...sister...don't be sad, I shouldn't make you sad."
Xu Zhihuai held her little hand and said with a little force: "Good sister, to tell you the truth, I am also bored in the palace. How great would it be if I could go out with you this time? You always tell me Qifengdu is so beautiful, I really want to see it."
Mu Xiuwan followed her words and said, "What should we do?"
"Why don't you go and beg your prince brother to let him obey you for once?"
"Is this... okay?"
"You have to give it a try."
"good!"
Xu Zhihuai deliberately asked Mu Xiuwan to be a lobbyist. Fortunately, she was innocent, gentle and obedient.
Zhu Xuxing worked all night and was tired and sleepy. He relied on thick sophora flavescens tea to cheer him up. When he saw Mu Xiuwan coming rashly, he thought something had happened.
Mu Xiuwan asked softly, with a reserved look on her face.
Zhu Xuxing sighed helplessly, a little displeased with her childishness: "This is a place where serious matters are discussed. Don't be willful."
Mu Xiuwan hesitated, turned around and then turned back: "Brother Prince, you will come to Fengdu to see me, right?" As she spoke, tears began to fall.
No matter how old he is, he cries like a child, which is heartbreaking.
Zhu Xuxing pondered for a moment, then returned to a gentle smile: "Of course."
It's night, the stars are sparse and the clouds are light.
Xu Zhihuai fell into a familiar and warm embrace and finally had a chance to breathe easily.
"Wan'er has been crying for a long time today, and His Highness doesn't feel sorry for you?"
Zhu Xuxing was a little distracted, and the finger caressing her earlobe fell gently.
Xu Zhihuai added: "She rarely cries. Your Highness is not distressed, but I am."
Only then did Zhu Xuxing pay attention to what she said and said slowly: "It's useless to cry. You can't go away."
"Yeah, it's too dangerous there."
This sentence sounds a bit harsh.
Zhu Xuxing hugged her shoulders and patted her gently: "You go to bed earlier. I have something else to do, so I can't worry about it."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Xu Zhihuai stood up and said, "Your Highness, it's almost time."
Zhu Xuxing smiled gently: "I'll be back as soon as I go, you go to sleep first."
Xu Zhihuai shook his head, picked up his robe and put it on his shoulders: "I can't sleep alone. I will go wherever Your Highness goes."
Zhu Xuxing clicked his tongue, looked at her watery eyes, and couldn't bear to blame her, so he had to send someone to deliver the official documents piled up in the study to the bedroom.
