Listening to Su Yu's concerned words, Xu Zhihuai's heart felt calm, without any waves.
No matter how Wei Li treats her, she will tolerate it.
When she returns to Fengdu, she will figure out a solution on her own.
"Actually, I shouldn't talk too much, but I have been with the master for so many days, and I always feel that the Marquis has some inexplicable feelings for you..."
Xu Zhihuai smiled softly when he heard this: "Don't say it's a joke. It would be terrible if others heard this."
Su Yu inexplicably became serious: "Master, let me say something that I shouldn't say. If the Marquis didn't like you, he wouldn't be so indulgent and out of control..."
Xu Zhihuai smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Have you not been deceived by a man once? Why don't you regret it? There is no sense in love and love? Wei Li is not as simple as you see to me."
Su Yu lowered her head and lowered her eyes: "Master taught me that men in this world are so unlucky that they cannot keep their affection since ancient times."
"Since you understand everything, why are you still telling me this?"
"Master, let me ask you boldly, will the master follow the Marquis in the future?"
Xu Zhihuai pondered slightly: "Based on my current situation, I don't have any plans. Let's just take it one day at a time."
"Master, why are you so discouraged?"
Xu Zhihuai looked at her deeply: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Su Yu swallowed her saliva and said, "Master's life, wealth, and splendor are all tied to the Marquis, but the Master is always cold and indifferent to the Marquis. Aren't you afraid of the Master?"
Xu Zhihuai said lightly: "Why aren't you afraid? I am scared to death every day."
"Master, why don't you coax the Marquis well?"
"coax?"
Xu Zhihuai chuckled lightly: "Qingyi Hou Weili is definitely not a kind person. I'm afraid you don't know what kind of person he is. No one can coax him."
Su Yu added: "Master Hou is also a man."
Xu Zhihuai stretched out a finger and shook it gently at her: "He is not a human being, and he has no human feelings. Do you think he will have me in his heart when he is lingering with me every night? Impossible, never possible."
Amelia Su was stunned on the spot.
Xu Zhihuai saw her cautious expression as if she had said something wrong, and leaned forward slightly, continuing: "I can handle the Marquis's matters alone. I still have important things that I want you to do."
"It's just what the master ordered."
"When you get to Fengdu, I will sneak into Fengdu Mansion and work as an errand no matter what method you use."
Su Yu was surprised: "Master doesn't want me to serve you anymore?"
Xu Zhihuai smiled and patted her shoulder: "With your beauty and cleverness, it would be too unqualified to be just a maid serving tea and water. I brought you to Fengdu just to see what you are capable of."
Su Yu was a little hesitant, but Xu Zhihuai was not in a hurry: "Of course, everything is up to your own free will."
"Master, master's business is my business. Whether I am a slave or a dancer, I will definitely sneak into Fengdu Mansion."
Xu Zhihuai nodded with satisfaction: "That's what I'm waiting for."
During the day, Wei Li always dealt with correspondence on the second floor. Xu Zhihuai could always hear the cooing of pigeons while sitting in front of the window downstairs.
Xu Zhihuai held his head with one hand and couldn't help but wonder if there would be any news from the capital? Will there be any news about the prince?
Soon, with the thumping footsteps of Wei Li, she recovered her thoughts in time, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a gentle sip of tea.
Wei Li stood a few steps away, looking at her dimly.
Xu Zhihuai deliberately didn't look at him and concentrated on counting the tea leaves in the cup.
Sure enough, Wei Li was the first to speak: "Aren't you curious?"
Xu Zhihuai raised his eyes and smiled: "What are you curious about?"
"I've been gone for so long, and you haven't asked about the capital once."
Xu Zhihuai lowered his eyes and thought: It is useless to ask.
"The Marquis never likes me to talk too much. If you need to tell me, the Marquis will definitely tell me."
Wei Li walked over slowly. Even though the teapot on the table was half full, he still took the teacup from her hand and drank her tea.
"The Crown Prince asked about your current situation, how do you think I should respond?"
Xu Zhihuai's pupils trembled slightly: "You can do whatever you want, Master Hou?"
"Of course I can't tell the truth."
Wei Li put down the tea cup and reached out to touch her cheek: "If the prince knew that you sleep next to me every day, he would definitely be unhappy."
Xu Zhihuai pursed his lips and smiled, stood up and avoided his hand.
She deliberately turned her back to him: "How long until we get to Fengdu? This ship is too clean."
Wei Li sat where she had just sat and looked out the window: "It's quiet and quiet here, isn't it?"
"I'm a little bored."
Wei Li chuckled: "What, you want to have some fun too?"
Xu Zhihuai muttered: "No, I just said it casually."
Unexpectedly, Wei Li ordered them to dock that night, and under the cover of night, he took her in a carriage and drove towards the nearest official road.
The carriage was a little bumpy, and after sitting for a while, Xu Zhihuai felt uncomfortable, dizzy, and wanted to vomit.
Fortunately, Jinhua stuffed a small purse for her, which was filled with sour preserved apricots. She sucked one into her mouth to stimulate saliva, which made her feel a little better.
Wei Li smelled the light and sour smell and couldn't help but frowned and said, "You are getting weaker and weaker."
Xu Zhihuai suppressed his nausea and said slowly: "Both taking a boat and traveling on the road, I can't stand it. Please have mercy on me, Lord Marquis, and find a place to stay and rest first. I'll be fine after one night's sleep."
"If the prince were to take pity on you, I don't have the patience for that."
Wei Li stretched out his long arms and took her into his arms: "We are only half a day away from Changqing County, and we can't delay even a moment."
Xu Zhihuai frowned and said, "Forget it..."
She was so dizzy from motion sickness that she couldn't tell the time for a while. She only felt that her head was getting heavier and heavier, and she couldn't see anything clearly.
Wei Li lowered his eyes to look at her uncomfortable and forbearing look, with complicated eyes.
Unexpectedly, the person in his arms was breathing more and more shallowly, but his breath was warm.
Wei Li subconsciously touched her forehead with his backhand, it was so hot.
She has a fever!
Xu Zhihuai was ill for three days and had a high fever.
I changed doctors one after another, but there was still no improvement at all.
Wei Li was so angry that he almost let his men beat these stupid people to death.
The country doctor was unreliable, so he had to go to Changqing County to find a famous doctor to treat him.
Unexpectedly, the old doctor actually said "happy pulse" while trembling.
Wei Li lowered her face, grabbed the old man by the collar, and said coldly: "She can't be pregnant!"
The old doctor showed panic on his face, but he still argued with reason: "There is nothing in this world that is impossible. This lady is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, with insufficient blood and vitality, and her pulse is too weak to detect the suspension. I have been practicing medicine for decades. The diagnosis will never be wrong. If you don't believe it, just ask someone else to look at it. I kindly advise you that with my wife's constitution, even if she is pregnant, it will be difficult to give birth to full term. If you are not careful, you will kill two people. There are many dangers."
