He had shed tears before, but never sobbed so sadly.
A man doesn't shed tears lightly, but it's just not the time to feel sad.
Seeing Zhu Xuxing's sad look, Xu Zhihuai's heart felt as if he had been slightly pricked by fine needles, which were full of holes and dripping with blood.
"Your Highness, my Highness..."
Xu Zhihuai held his face with both hands, wiped away the wet tears with his fingertips, and softly comforted him.
Zhu Xuxing indulged in her tenderness through drunkenness.
An hour later, Zhu Xiuxing sobered up and his tears dried up.
Xu Zhihuai soaked the square handkerchief in cold water and wiped his face carefully.
Zhu Xuxing slowly raised his eyes, his eyes were slightly sour and his eyes were a little blurry.
Xu Zhihuai lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, smiling gently.
"His Highness's eyes are red and painful to look at."
Zhu Xuxing pursed his lips and smiled reluctantly.
"Wait a minute, I will wrap a handkerchief with the cobblestones on the porch and apply it to His Highness's eyes."
Xu Zhi Huaiping withdrew the others, leaving only Jinhua.
The cool well water was soaked with large and small pebbles, which were smooth and smooth to the touch. They were wrapped in a thin handkerchief and gently placed on his eyes.
The cool touch of this ice is very comfortable.
"You've seen a joke today."
Zhu Xuxing put his head lightly on her soft belly and spoke in a low voice.
Xu Zhihuai said softly: "How can it be a joke when His Highness reveals his true feelings? Your Highness has been keeping too many things on his mind. He is too tired and suffering."
"All the people in the world are full of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. How can I dare to say a word of bitterness?"
"Your Highness is sad for the eldest princess, and I feel the same way. Why should Your Highness blame himself so much? Your Highness has done his best for what happened back then, and everything was not His fault."
Hearing this, Zhu Xuxing put his hands around her waist and sighed softly: "It is wrong to be powerless."
Xu Zhihuai pondered for a moment: "Your Highness today is different from that of back then. Maybe we can still think of a way to remedy it, no, to save the injured mind of Your Highness the Princess."
When Zhu Xuxing heard this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at her with bright eyes: "How to remedy it?"
Xu Zhihuai smiled brightly and said: "The best way to forget your sorrows. Your Highness once taught me, but Your Highness has forgotten it."
Zhu Xuxing was confused and confused.
"Didn't His Highness tell me? The past things are no longer important, good things will always happen. Even though I am helpless, I can still meet His Highness. This is fate and fate."
Zhu Xuxing understood somewhat after hearing this: "Are you talking about... the eldest sister getting married again?"
Xu Zhihuai nodded: "Although this is not the best way, you can still try it. The eldest princess is in her prime, and she should not spend the rest of her life alone."
Zhu Xuxing sighed again: "I'm afraid this matter will be difficult."
"It all depends on man-made things. Just take your time and make long-term decisions. Of course, everything depends on God's will and chance. I don't dare to make any judgments, it's just a suggestion."
"Huai'er, it's great to have you."
Zhu Xuxing was very grateful for her comfort.
In the early morning of the next day, he went to court with his father refreshed, and no one could notice how sad he had been. It's just that Yue Yichuan beside him is a little downcast and his face looks a little haggard. He had insomnia almost all night and was so sleepy that he could only close his eyes for a while by drinking alcohol.
Xu Zhihuai couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw him guarding the prince like a dark ghost.
Why is this person so dull!
A few days later, Yue Yichuan fell ill. It is said that he almost fainted in front of the emperor. Seeing his sick look, the emperor immediately ordered him to go home to recuperate.
Xu Zhihuai prepared a tonic and ordered it to be delivered to Yue Mansion.
Zhu Xuxing praised her for her sincerity, and Xu Zhihuai smiled slightly: "Master Yue has followed the Crown Prince for many years, and he is the most loyal. I just didn't expect that a strong-willed person like him would fall ill. Back in Huaizhou, there were so many difficulties. Mr. Yue accompanied the prince to get through the difficulties."
She seemed to be concerned about Yue Yichuan's condition, but she was actually suspicious of the cause of his illness.
Zhu Xuxing obviously understood, and simply said lightly: "It's been really hard on him these days."
Seeing that he didn't want to mention it more, Xu Zhihuai simply said something else.
After lunch, Concubine Yue sent someone to tell her that she would go to the Blue Flower Pavilion to drink tea with her in the afternoon.
They have been interacting very closely recently, which made the Queen and the Queen feel puzzled.
No matter how she looked at it, she didn't think Xu Zhihuai was cute and cute. What was Concubine Yue doing to win her over for no reason?
Xu Zhihuai changed her clothes and put on light makeup, getting ready to go out for the appointment.
Unexpectedly, someone stopped me on the way. The maid cautiously saluted and said, "Please move to Qianhua Palace."
Xu Zhihuai's heart skipped a beat and he looked at her with a frown, knowing full well that the consultant asked, "Who asked you to come?"
"It's Mr. Hou."
She answered honestly.
Xu Zhihuai thought that if Wei Li dared to invite her so blatantly, he must have made arrangements, so he simply turned around and went to meet him for a while. As for Concubine Yue, she could only excuse her illness and politely refuse.
Xu Zhihuai's mood would become cautious every time he stepped into Qianhua Palace.
She was already tired of being cautious, but unfortunately they just refused to let her go.
Wei Li was still dressed casually, with her eyes covered and her feet bare.
Although he is a foreign minister, he lives a comfortable and comfortable life in the palace.
Xu Zhihuai came to the inner hall and saw him like this, greeting him as usual, but he was secretly wary.
"You came."
Wei Li spoke calmly, with a lazy voice.
"The Marquis suddenly called me over. Do you have something important to explain?"
"What's the hurry? Let's say a few words first."
Xu Zhihuai smiled: "The Marquis knows everything about me in the palace."
"I don't know about your intention to win over Yue Yichuan."
"The Marquis has misunderstood. It's not to win over, but... I can't stand it anymore."
Xu Zhihuai explained frankly.
"What's the meaning?"
"To be honest with you, Lord Marquis, I only recently learned about the eldest princess's past events when she married a distant relative... I feel very uncomfortable!"
Wei Li smiled: "You are so leisurely and relaxed, but you still have time to feel sad for others?"
"As a woman, the pain of losing a child is really sad."
Wei Li thought of her two miscarriages, one for him and one for the prince, and the smile on her lips faded.
"So? What do you want Yue Yichuan to do?"
"It's okay to do anything, just don't do nothing! It's definitely not what a gentleman would do to secretly harbor deep feelings all day long and watch the woman he loves suffer the most!"
"It turns out you were thinking about the eldest princess."
Wei Li would not easily believe her lies, but his heart was slightly touched.
"The eldest princess will come back, and when she comes back, everything will be different."
Xu Zhihuai didn't understand what he meant: "Master Hou, I don't understand."
Wei Li curled her lips and sneered: "Since you know her pain, how could you not know her ambition?"
