Su Yu is determined to please and often speaks unscrupulously.
Xu Zhihuai took a deep look at her: "What this child is can only be decided by His Royal Highness. Some things, the more you talk about them, the more mistakes you make."
Su Yu hurriedly lowered her head and admitted her mistake: "Master is teaching me that I am too impatient... The Marquis is moody, and it is too much for Master to follow him..."
She hesitated to speak, but Xu Zhihuai saw that she still didn't give up on Wei Li, so he said: "The Marquis has always been like this, it is impossible to want his favor. I also intended to pave the way for you before, but it's a pity that Luo Hua was so ruthless. You’d better give up on this idea.”
"Slave, please listen to your master."
Xu Zhihuai continued: "I don't know how long I will stay in Changqing County, so why don't you take the first step."
Su Yuqie was frightened and panicked: "Does the master hate me? Or does he not want me anymore?"
Xu Zhihuai smiled: "Don't worry too much. I've said it before. With your beauty and ability, staying by my side as a maid is too humiliating."
"You go to Fengdu first."
Xu Zhihuai also "does it for her own good". If she continues to be so reckless, it will only be a matter of time before she annoys Wei Li.
"yes……"
Amelia Su nodded reluctantly.
Jinhua moved faster and packed her luggage in just a moment.
Su Yu walked away dejectedly, but Jinhua seemed to be relieved.
She doesn't like Amelia Su and always feels that she has ulterior motives for the girl.
Xu Zhihuai waited patiently for news about His Highness, but Wei Li seemed to have suddenly disappeared. She did not show up for several days, and she did not leave the inn. The only people she could see every day were Jinhua and Lang Zhong.
Bowl after bowl of soup and medicine, acupuncture and dredging, just to make the child in her belly grow more flesh and blood.
Xu Zhihuai felt mixed emotions as he watched his belly gradually swell.
In midsummer, the weather is hot and dry, especially in the afternoon, when the heat wave rolls in, causing people to sweat on their cheeks.
In order to protect the fetus, don't be greedy for cold, and eat warm and moist foods.
After the meal, Xu Zhihuai was already sweating.
Jinhua wiped her with a soft handkerchief and filled her with a bowl of warm and cool sour plum soup. Xu Zhihuai frowned: "I drink sour plum soup every day. I have long been tired of drinking it."
As if offering a treasure, Jinhua hurriedly turned over the soup base with a spoon and pulled out some boiled hawthorn.
Today it has added ingredients.
Xu Zhihuai took a sip, and it turned out to be even more sour.
She took off her nightgown, wearing only a thin bellyband, and lay down on the couch to take a nap.
Xu Zhihuai closed his eyes to rest, and suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing in front of him.
She opened her eyes and saw someone approaching with the curtain lifted. The tall and thin figure wanted to be alone.
Xu Zhihuai was a little sleepy. He couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality, so he subconsciously called out: "Your Highness."
The shadow got closer and closer. The moment he leaned over and squatted down, Xu Zhihuai could see his face clearly.
It's Wei Li.
After not seeing each other for a few days, he got tanned.
Xu Zhihuai was slightly startled, placing his hands on his lower abdomen intentionally or unintentionally, and looked at him with confused eyes.
Wei Li glanced at her belly, raised his eyebrows and said, "Greetings to Concubine Huai."
These words made Xu Zhihuai feel alert.
She raised her body with one hand and wanted to reach for the nightgown hanging beside the bed, but Wei Li got there first. He took the nightgown away and said calmly: "No need to wear it."
"Where did the Marquis go?"
"Of course it is His Highness's business."
"Your Highness..."
Wei Li stood up and turned around, sitting on the edge of the bed, holding the thin nightgown, and his warm hands slowly fell on her bare back, which was delicate and smooth, and a little sweaty.
"You will meet your Royal Highness soon."
Xu Zhihuai gently twitched the corners of his mouth, which was considered a smile: "Thanks to the Marquis."
Wei Li's eyes were more aggressive than his hands. Xu Zhihuai was a little scared. Now was not the time for him to act wild. She suddenly became bold and grabbed his hand and touched her belly.
The unfamiliar touch instantly extinguished the light in Wei Li's eyes.
His eyes were somewhat conflicted, somewhat sullen, and shone with a dark and unclear light.
"Does Mr. Hou feel it? This child has grown up."
Xu Zhihuai observed every subtle change on his face, curious about how he would react.
Unlike before, this time he saw and felt it with his own eyes.
Wei Li's expression changed, and he suddenly threw away his hand, as if he had been pricked by a needle.
He turned slightly and looked away: "This child has nothing to do with me."
Xu Zhihuai said deliberately: "Master Hou, this is our child."
"Xu Zhihuai!"
Wei Li raised his voice and warned sternly.
Xu Zhihuai's pupils trembled and he bit his lip silently.
Wei Li continued: "You should never expect that I will give you any comfort and sympathy, and you should not think that you can use the child in your belly to blackmail me!"
He really has no heart and no human feelings at all.
Xu Zhihuai said clearly: "I understand, it's because I'm too sentimental and I don't know what to do."
Only half a day after Wei Li returned to Changqing County, the doctor changed.
Xu Zhihuai didn't want to implicate innocent people, so he just said: "Master Hou, that old doctor helped me preserve my pregnancy. Can you let him live?"
Wei Li sneered contemptuously: "If he exposes your background, who will let you go?"
Xu Zhihuai frowned slightly: "He saved half of my life."
"You want me to reward him with half of his life? That's not difficult. First cut off his tongue, then gouge out his eyes, and finally chop off his hands and feet..."
Xu Zhihuai felt sick to his stomach, covered his mouth and said, "Master Hou, please stop talking."
Wei Li saw that her face was pale and haggard: "Take care of yourself first. I will never keep people who shouldn't be kept."
The new doctor is a middle-aged man with a round face and a solid accent. He speaks with a local accent and is cautious in his dealings with others.
He did not change the prescription without authorization, but only made up the best way to say it: "If you follow this way, you will not be suspected."
Xu Zhihuai glanced at him indifferently, feeling helpless: How many lives must be sacrificed in order to keep an immoral secret?
What Wei Li is best at is this kind of dirty trick, just like back then...
"lady?"
Seeing her silence, the doctor reminded her in a low voice: "Madam, you must keep this pregnancy, otherwise I will die."
Xu Zhihuai responded calmly: "Don't worry, if I can't save this child, I will die."
I have traveled day and night for a month just to see the love in my heart.
Zhu Xiuxing almost counted the days to arrive, and he had also lost weight. Although he looked exhausted, he still couldn't hide his natural nobility.
It was late at night when we arrived in Changqing County.
Zhu Xuxing went straight to the inn without stopping for a moment.
Xu Zhihuai was awakened by the thumping footsteps outside the door. Looking at the flickering lights, he thought he had encountered an assassin. Just when he was feeling uneasy, the door was pushed open violently.
In the darkness, a figure suddenly appeared, standing a few steps away, with a hoarse voice and a sad tone: "Huai'er."
