She knew very well what kind of person Wei Li was.
The sudden compassion was without reason and even more suspicious.
Outside the window is the hustle and bustle of people coming and going, while inside the window is the silence of everyone with their own thoughts.
When the decoction is thick and bitter, the faint taste wafts over.
Xu Zhihuai was inexplicably disgusted. He picked up the square handkerchief and gently covered his mouth and nose: "Does the Marquis want to kill people and silence them?"
Wei Li ordered coldly: "Drink it."
Xu Zhihuai frowned and resisted silently.
She didn't want to drink these things of unknown origin, so she simply said: "Master Marquis, please stop playing tricks on me."
Wei Li ordered again: "Drink it!"
Xu Zhihuai persisted to the end, deliberately dropped the soup, and said softly: "Oh, no... I'm too weak, I'm really sorry."
The black soup was spilled all over the floor, making it dirty and unsightly.
Wei Li had no expression on his face and said loudly: "Send me another bowl of medicine."
Jinhua brought it up tremblingly, and Wei Li took the lead and took it, handing it to her personally and saying: "You like throwing, right? Then go ahead. Even if you smashed a hundred or a thousand bowls today, you still have to throw the medicine." Drink it."
Xu Zhihuai raised his eyes and saw him approaching step by step: "Master Hou also wants me to die."
Wei Li didn't want to give her another chance to speak, so he clamped her chin, forcing her to open her mouth, and wanted to come hard.
Xu Zhihuai was already feeling uncomfortable. He choked on the bitter medicine and coughed heartbreakingly.
She lay on the bed and refused to be humiliated. She clenched her fists and beat the bed: "Master Hou, do you have to force him to death to satisfy me?"
Wei Li looked at her condescendingly: "Xu Zhihuai, don't you want to go back to the palace?"
Xu Zhihuai blinked his tearful eyes and suddenly understood: "Master Hou wants to use the child in my belly as a bargaining chip?"
"If the prince knew that you were pregnant with him and his flesh and blood were displaced, he would be so distressed."
Xu Zhihuai shook his head: "The prince is not a fool, and neither are the queen and the eldest princess. Will they believe it?"
Wei Li pinched her chin. He hated her tears, and he would not allow her to be so fragile, like a complete waste: "Xu Zhihuai, when did you become so fair and strict?"
He tightened his grip and said, "You are born despicable."
"Master Hou, it's not that easy to deceive people."
Xu Zhihuai slowly sat up straight: "I was unclear with the Marquis in the palace, and I could barely hide it. I have been away from the palace for so long, and I was tortured with a stick before. Where did the child come from? Although the prince loves me, but He is not a fool, and I will not use this child to save the crown prince."
"It's not your choice. Either you drink the medicine, or I kill one a day. Your maid is so loyal, are you willing to let her die? Do you still want to go to Fengdu alive?"
Xu Zhihuai's eyes turned red in anger.
He schemed against her to the bitter end and refused to give up.
Bowl after bowl of anti-fetal medicine was given, and the room was filled with the lingering smell of medicine, which was bitter and unbearable.
The old doctor comes to check his pulse every three days.
Although he could not clearly see Xu Zhihuai's appearance and demeanor through the hazy gauze curtain, he could glean something from her pulse.
"Madam, your liver qi is stagnant now, which is very harmful to the fetus."
Xu Zhihuai looked at his slightly stooped back and said calmly: "This child cannot be saved."
The old doctor sighed heavily: "Madam, you shouldn't give up so early. How many people have I treated in Changqing County? How many people have I treated in Changqing County who are in critical condition? How many people have I dealt with? The young lady is internally deficient, and her palace is cold and her blood is stagnant. She must have slipped through the fetus before. , so the injury was too deep. But fortunately, my wife is still young, her body recovers quickly, and her qi and blood should be greatly replenished. As long as she takes care of herself slowly, why worry about not having an heir?"
Xu Zhihuai didn't feel any joy after hearing what he said, and said in a serious tone: "What a pity for your good intentions, this child... I am not what I want."
"Madam, God has the virtue of good life, and it is fate that you have come here."
Xu Zhihuai sneered secretly in his heart.
She and Wei Li only had a bad relationship.
"Madam, I will not leave you alone."
Xu Zhihuai responded calmly: "Old man, you should worry about yourself first. No matter whether you are well treated or not, he will not let you go."
The old man said with a calm voice: "I am over sixty years old and have long been indifferent to life and death. I have no desires, no pursuits and no fear."
Xu Zhihuai wanted to stay in Changqing County to have her baby, so Wei Li naturally wouldn't let her stay in the inn for a long time, so he simply bought a house, made some modifications, and let her move there.
Seeing that he also stayed, Xu Zhihuai couldn't help but wonder: "Master Hou, don't you plan to go to Fengdu?"
Wei Li didn't care: "It won't be too late to continue on the road after your tire pressure is stable."
The word "we" made Xu Zhihuai's hair stand on end.
"That old man calls me madam every day. It's better for the Marquis to avoid suspicion."
Wei Li leaned heavily on the bed, looked at her lowered eyebrows, and said evilly: "Although we are not husband and wife, we have done almost everything we should do. I call you madam, and I have wronged you?" Yes, you are Concubine Huai, and you have a distinguished status."
"Master Marquis, please stop mocking me. The doctor said, let me be calm so as not to cause fetal contractions."
Xu Zhihuai immediately ordered Jinhua to take away all the extra bedding and pillows.
"This courtyard is spacious and comfortable. Don't squeeze in with me, Lord Marquis. It's better to rest elsewhere."
Wei Li waved his hand, signaling Jinhua not to move: "Don't forget, you are my wife now."
Xu Zhihuai reminded softly: "I didn't expect that the Marquis would also be interested in such a trick of playing house."
If you want to live, then live, let him.
Xu Zhihuai rested in bed all day, and Jinhua sat next to her to make a dress. She was going to make a small dress for the child, and specially chose a piece of high-quality silk in the color of lake blue.
Xu Zhihuai looked at the needle and thread in her hand quietly, feeling that every needle pricked her heart, causing intense pain.
When Wei Li came back, she deliberately said in front of him: "Jinhua, put away the needle and thread quickly, don't do this useless work."
Wei Li's eyes were very quick, and he saw what Jinhua was hiding with a quick glance.
He strode to the bedside, took a brief look at her complexion, and then said in a low voice: "I want to rest."
Xu Zhihuai reluctantly moved his body into the bed to make room for him to rest.
Wei Li lay down directly and took off only his outer robe.
Xu Zhihuai turned over and faced the wall, not wanting to see his face. She pillowed her arms on her arms, pretending he didn't exist, and slowly fell asleep.
Half asleep and half awake, a heavy arm suddenly came across her waist, startling her.
Wei Li's hand dropped and landed on her belly.
Xu Zhihuai was inexplicably nervous. She let him touch her belly. After a while, he finally spoke: "I have sent a letter to the capital to say that you are pregnant."
Xu Zhihuai's heart beat faster when he heard this.
Wei Li opened his dark eyes, looked at her resisting back, and continued: "Congratulations Xu Zhihuai, you are about to return to the prince."
