Xu Zhihuai has long been used to Wei Li's erratic words and deeds.
She didn't know whether he really paved the way for her, or whether he just made her take the bait by making casual remarks and then started playing tricks on her.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis..."
Xu Zhihuai pondered slightly and spoke slowly.
Wei Li snorted and sneered, his heavy breath passing over the top of her head, blowing at the roots of her hair.
Xu Zhihuai silently hugged the quilt tightly, his hand fell on her lower abdomen, and his hanging fingers teased her belt again and again, as if it was very casual.
He slept next to her, which gave Xu Zhihuai a sense of crisis like a ray of light on his back.
She couldn't sleep at all and was anxiously wary of him.
However, the night passed exceptionally peacefully.
Wei Li slept properly all night, and got up and left at dawn.
Xu Zhihuai had been tired all day and his face was slightly pale.
Unexpectedly, at night, Wei Li appeared again.
He still wanted to sleep next to her, but Xu Zhihuai declined weakly: "Master Hou, I'm really inconvenient, you'd better rest somewhere else."
He remained motionless, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Xu Zhihuai then said: "If the Marquis likes this room, then I will give it to you."
Wei Li held her hand down and exerted force.
Xu Zhihuai frowned in pain: "Why doesn't Mr. Marquis let me go?"
Haven't he had enough of playing house tricks?
"You are still my woman."
Wei Li spoke coldly, without any emotion.
Xu Zhihuai wanted to withdraw her hand, but he held it with his backhand. She struggled to hold it back, but it was in vain.
"The Marquis wants a woman, but what kind of woman can't he find?"
Wei Li smiled: "What? You want to give that Su Yu to me again?"
"No, the Marquis has already refused once, and she also has other plans."
"It better be so."
Wei Li let go of her hand and then stroked her back.
Xu Zhihuai ducked subconsciously and his body stiffened.
"Master Marquis...should we stay here and wait for His Highness the Crown Prince, or should we go to Fengdu as planned."
"Why do you want to go to Fengdu so much?"
Wei Li finally asked this question.
He had already seen it.
She pays special attention to matters in Fengdu, and she will ask questions whenever there is any trouble. Even if she couldn't become Concubine Huai, what she cared about most was Fengdu.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
"Because Marquis Fengdu... he is the biggest worry for His Highness the Crown Prince. As long as we get rid of him, His Highness will no longer have worries and can successfully inherit the throne."
Xu Zhihuai found the most suitable excuse.
Wei Li stared at her: "Is it that simple?"
Xu Zhihuai turned around, his eyes leisurely: "It's that simple, Lord Marquis, don't you believe it?"
Wei Li suddenly sat up straight and approached her. He was only an inch away from her face: "Xu Zhihuai, you have a secret in your heart. This secret is buried deep, but it will eventually come out. "
Xu Zhihuai met his eyes and put on an innocent expression: "The Marquis knows everything and the Imperial Guard is omnipotent. How can I have any secrets!"
"You have!"
His decisive tone made her heart tremble.
"If I dig out your heart, I can see clearly. I won't wait until now. Xu Zhihuai, you really want to go to Fengdu. Well, I will make your wish come true. When the time comes, I will reveal the secrets in your heart one by one. Dig it out in broad daylight."
Xu Zhihuai's pupils trembled and he remained silent.
Her secrets are all bloody.
He will find out sooner or later, her secret is to make him worse than death and suffer eternal torture.
"I'm tired."
Xu Zhihuai lay down again and gently pulled his sleeves: "Master Hou, please rest early."
Wei Li was very aware of her coaxing tricks.
He didn't expose her, he enjoyed her gentleness, even if it was just a pretense.
At the same time, Zhu Xuxing knelt in front of his mother. No matter how she cried and scolded her, she still refused to bow her head.
"Are you crazy for a woman?"
The Queen's eyes were red, tears were streaming down her face, and her heart was extremely despairing.
The prince she had raised with her own hands, the prince who never let her worry or worry about him, now completely chilled her.
"Huai'er has become my scapegoat. She did nothing wrong. I was the one who made the mistake! In order to appease the gaffe and please my father, I acquiesced in her being demoted from the palace... My son has already done something wrong! It's a big mistake. ! Now that my son has learned that she is pregnant, should he continue to sit idly by and ignore her? That is my child, my child!"
The queen was furious: "How did the prince know that the child was yours? When Xu Zhihuai left the palace, he was seriously injured. Not to mention the child, he almost lost half his life!"
Apart from anything else, how could she possibly endure it with her fragile body!
"She has been away from the capital for so long. Does the prince know exactly who is around her and what she has done? Prince, you need to wake up!"
"Mother! My son is very conscious. He must find Huai'er back!"
Zhu Xuxing said seriously, word by word: "Even at all costs, even if you lose your position as prince, even if you die..."
Disobeying the emperor's orders, disobeying the emperor's mother, leaving the palace without permission...
The moment Zhu Xuxing stepped out of the palace gate, he was guilty.
He left no escape route for himself.
The ministers in the court begged the emperor to calm down, but the emperor still issued an edict. The prince had misbehaved and disobeyed the rules, making it difficult to help the country. I have issued a special edict to warn you and will be abolished.
At first glance, this seems to be an edict to depose the prince, but upon closer inspection, it is not considered a "death sentence".
It’s about to be abolished… but it hasn’t been abolished yet!
When to abolish it, whether to abolish it or not, are all matters for another day.
Such a big event as Zhu Xuxing's departure from the capital was enough to shock the government and the public, but news outside the palace was tightly sealed.
When Wei Li received the carrier pigeon, he immediately began to arrange the next step of people and things.
It was sudden that Xu Zhihuai was pregnant.
He has no interest in the child in her belly. Only the prince would go crazy for this woman.
Of course he could conceal the information and seal off everything about Xu Zhihuai, but he still told the truth.
Maybe the eldest princess was right... Only by letting the prince get rid of Fengduhou himself would the emperor's incompetence and vulnerability be revealed.
Fengdu is an abyss, and it is dangerous to approach it.
When he learned the news that Zhu Xuxing had left the capital, Xu Zhihuai was shocked and cautious, and felt a little unbelievable in his heart.
She looked at Wei Li's upright and serious face and asked softly: "Didn't the Marquis say that the prince cannot come to Fengdu?"
"Change of plans."
Wei Li responded calmly.
"what's the plan?"
"Nothing to do with you."
Xu Zhihuai sat up straight: "What are you still hiding from me now? Even if you don't tell me, His Highness will tell me. I'm obviously here, I'm by your side, why let me There is no use in being an outsider and feeling anxious."
Seeing how honest she was, Wei Li suddenly smiled: "Xu Zhihuai, you are of great use. Just wait for your Highness. Wait for him to show you a clear path and lead you to prosperity and glory."
