Zhu Xuxing came through the dark night, his affectionate gaze was like meeting him for the first time. He ran very fast and was out of breath. Xu Zhihuai was in a daze for a moment before he realized what he was doing.
He's finally here.
Zhu Xuxing wanted to hug her tightly, but suddenly he remembered that she was pregnant. His outstretched hands were hanging in the air, but his eyes were sincere and sparkling with emotion.
"Your Highness..."
Xu Zhihuai called out from his throat, tremblingly and weakly.
Zhu Xuxing held her face, his hands shaking uncontrollably.
When he held her in his arms, there was no joy in his heart, only guilt as deep as the sea.
"Your Highness, you are finally here."
Xu Zhihuai choked up and snuggled into his arms, her eyes drifting to the door again. She couldn't see where Wei Li was, but she knew that he must be there. He must be hiding in some dark corner, watching all this. happened.
Zhu Xuxing had lost a lot of weight. She could clearly feel the protruding bones on his back, and she could still clearly hear his heartbeat through the thin clothes.
Dong Dong Dong... hot and intense.
The joy of reunion gradually changed from excitement to softness, and the lingering embrace could not dissolve the deep lovesickness.
Xu Zhihuai's eyes were filled with tears as she listened to Zhu Xuxing keep saying in her ear: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry Huai'er..."
His apology was sincere.
Xu Zhihuai shook his head repeatedly and rested his head on his shoulder: "Your Highness just did what you should do, and I never regret it. It is my duty to share your worries for Your Highness."
"No, I was wrong, I couldn't be more wrong!"
Zhu Xuxing said solemnly: "I shouldn't have sacrificed you despicably, I shouldn't have turned a blind eye to you, I shouldn't have let you leave my side..."
His gaze slowly dropped, looking at her slightly bulging belly, he felt even more painfully: "I'm sorry for our child."
Xu Zhihuai couldn't bear the affection, so he stroked his back and said, "This is not His Highness' fault. If you want to blame it, it's because the child came at the wrong time. If you want to blame it, it's fate."
He gave up on her once, and she also cheated him hard, so this was considered even.
Xu Zhihuai secretly persuaded himself in his heart that at least in front of him, she was not a real "evil person".
There are so many things I want to say, and the blue-gold night sky slowly turns white and becomes filled with bright colors.
Zhu Xuxing told Xu Zhihuai everything he had done in the capital, without any concealment or evasion.
"After you left, I didn't dare to step into Jianzhang Palace again. If I couldn't see you, I would go crazy... I also thought about leaving the palace desperately to find you, but I couldn't, Huai'er, you know, I can not."
Xu Zhihuai's heart was full of grievances that he had given up on, but she was not qualified to be angry, accuse and complain, so she could only let go generously and forgive kindly.
Seeing that she would rather wrong him than say a harsh word to him, Zhu Xuxing felt inexplicably uncomfortable and said, "Huai'er, do you know? In fact, you can also hate me."
"No!"
Xu Zhihuai was suddenly excited and looked at him with extremely pious eyes and said: "The only person in this world that I don't hate is His Highness, and I never will."
The two exchanged heartfelt words, and each word fell into Wei Li's ears. He curled his lips in a sneer at first, and gradually, the smile disappeared from the corner of his mouth.
He couldn't laugh anymore, and there was a kind of unexplainable dissatisfaction in his heart.
The prince came and he had already arranged everything. Xu Zhihuai was even more obedient. Why did he still feel dissatisfied?
When Xu Zhihuai said that he would never bear a grudge against the prince, he became even more angry.
She will only hate him!
Hate him forever!
Xu Zhihuai can breathe a little easier on the days when there is Zhu Xiuxing.
Wei Li would not appear from time to time, nor would he touch her again.
Zhu Xuxing cherished the child in her belly even more. He did not allow Xu Zhihuai to go to Fengdu, and immediately asked Wei Li to arrange manpower to send her back to Beijing.
Wei Li was silent and refused to accept the order.
Xu Zhihuai glanced at his face, and then said to Zhu Xuxing, who looked anxious: "Your Highness, it's not the time for me to go back yet. My tire pressure is unstable and I can't withstand the fatigue of the carriage and horses, and..."
She hesitated to speak, and Zhu Xuxing hurriedly asked with concern: "Huai'er, what's wrong?"
Xu Zhihuai protected his belly and said helplessly and sadly: "Besides, without Your Highness, I would not be able to keep this child."
Zhu Xuxing understood this and was immediately annoyed: "I'm so confused. How could I want you to take risks alone again?"
"Your Highness, caring leads to chaos. You are also doing it for my own good."
"But Huai'er, compared to the capital thousands of miles away, Fengdu, which is close at hand, is more dangerous. The news of my coming here cannot be concealed. The city of Fengdu is very deep, and he will not let me go there safely. To the territory of Fengdu."
There are many crises before and after, and no matter what choice you make, it will be wrong.
"Your Highness, the safest place is only where you are. I want to follow Your Highness, and I don't want to be separated from Your Highness again..."
Her persuasion turned into a plea, which Zhu Xiuxing could not refuse.
"This child is hard-won. I promise you, Huai'er! I will definitely protect him and you."
When Zhu Xuxing said this, his eyes were filled with determination.
He promised her that he would never break his promise.
How to deal with the Marquis of Fengdu does not require Xu Zhihuai's involvement, but what she really cares about is the massacre of the village that year.
In the quiet of the night, Xu Zhihuai leaned on the long-lost embrace and asked softly: "Your Highness, is Marquis Fengdu really a person who has done many evil things?"
Zhu Xuxing shook his head: "He is just very mysterious, but I heard that he is highly respected by people in Fengdu. He often opens a warehouse to provide food and provide relief to the victims."
"So he's very popular."
"So be it."
Xu Zhihuai asked again: "Your Highness, are you going to wait for the eldest princess to act together, or are you going to take the risk first?"
"Eldest sister... what she wants to do is different from me. I won't implicate her."
Xu Zhihuai sniffed out some clues and stopped asking questions. He just said in his heart: Your Highness, Your Highness, everything she wants to do is for you.
"When is Your Highness planning to leave?"
"No rush, no rush for a day or two."
Zhu Xuxing hugged her shoulders tightly and said, "Don't think too much, I will accompany you wholeheartedly, and we will leave all those invisible and intangible worries behind."
He stroked her long hair and kissed her forehead, as if comforting her.
Xu Zhihuai didn't need his comfort. She wanted to know whether he had a complete plan and determination to win when he suddenly appeared here.
"Your Highness, have you been safe this way?"
Seeing that she was still uneasy, Zhu Xuxing hurriedly said: "Of course it's safe. Didn't I stand in front of you properly?"
"That's what His Highness said."
"What about you? Are you used to living here?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I can live anywhere, as long as there is a tile to cover my head, as long as there is a room to take shelter from the wind and rain, as long as Your Highness is here..."
