There is something in Wei Li's words.
Zhu Xuxing understood in his heart, frowned and concentrated, and was speechless for a long time.
"It is impossible to capture Fengdu City with Huangji Guards alone, but with the support of the imperial court, everything will be different."
Wei Li examined his expression: "With the help of the eldest princess, we can get twice the result with half the effort."
Zhu Xuxing saw his slightly red bloodshot eyes flashing with unknown meaning: "We have waited for this day after all."
Wei Li whispered: "This day should have come a long time ago."
Zhu Xuxing pondered for a long time and nodded slowly: "That's it, just let it go and do it." After saying that, he turned his eyes to the curtain again: "I want to spend a good time with Huai'er. For other things, let's do it tomorrow. Discuss."
"Of course, I will make arrangements first."
Wei Li stood up to say goodbye. When he walked to the door, he couldn't help but turn his head and glance back, which made his entourage alert: "Master Marquis, what's wrong?"
Wei Li frowned and said, "The cicadas on the trees are too noisy. Send someone to clear them up."
The attendant was slightly startled and quickly responded.
The yard was quiet, but Xu Zhihuai's heart was always worried.
The severe pain in her body made her sometimes awake and sometimes confused. When she woke up, she could see Zhu Suxing's worried face. From day to night, he stayed with her almost every step of the way.
Xu Zhihuai drank half a bowl of ginseng soup and said weakly: "Your Highness, you want to keep guarding me?"
Zhu Xuxing heard her voice and immediately leaned over: "I won't do anything today, I will just watch over you."
Xu Zhihuai smiled weakly: "Your Highness is not a doctor, so you don't have to worry so much... There are still things outside that are waiting for Your Highness."
Zhu Xuxing shook his head, grabbed her hand again, and pressed it tightly to his face. He was greedy for the little warmth on her fingertips and the faint herbal smell on her body.
"Your Highness..."
Xu Zhihuai couldn't bear his affection, and she didn't need him to stay here at all now. He should do more important things.
"Huai'er, don't let me go."
Zhu Xuxing held her hand tightly, with a bit of vulnerability hidden in his eyes: "Only tonight, just tonight."
Xu Zhihuai sighed silently: "Don't be afraid, Your Highness, the child and I will be safe."
Zhu Xuxing lowered his head silently.
He stopped talking, just sat there quietly, watching over her and keeping her company.
Xu Zhihuai touched his face with his fingers, and suddenly felt a wet feeling, and said in surprise: "Your Highness..."
He cried?
Zhu Xuxing remained motionless, as if he was worried that she would see his tears.
Xu Zhihuai's eyes darkened slightly, and he stretched out his other hand and patted his shoulder gently to comfort him.
Her strength is very light, as light as a feather.
Zhu Xuxing waited for a while before raising his head. His eyes were red and the corners of his eyes were wet.
"Huai'er, I will only give you the best from now on, and I will never let you suffer a little injustice. No matter who you are or where you are, I will keep you safe and sound."
He never lies, so the promises coming out of his mouth sound particularly moving.
Xu Zhihuai smiled slightly: "As long as His Highness has me in his heart, I'm not greedy..."
In an instant, she suddenly understood an extremely cruel truth.
What she wants, only Wei Li can give her.
Zhu Xiuxing will only do his best for her peace, and what she wants is the truth hidden in the darkness. What she wants to get is the rotting corpses and bones deposited under the prosperous palace.
Xu Zhihuai's eyes flickered, but he heard Zhu Suxing say word by word: "Huai'er, you are the only one in my heart, and you will always be the only one."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Thousands of words are reduced to this sentence.
There was no emotion, no heartbeat, only deep helplessness.
Zhu Xuxing stayed up all day and night. After washing himself, he summoned the Marquis of Fengdu early without resting.
Now that he has returned to the city, according to the rules, he naturally has to pay a visit to His Highness the Crown Prince.
Although Zhu Xuxing was well-educated, he was impatient and said straightforwardly: "Fengdu is a really special place that makes people forget to leave. As you know, I didn't come alone on this trip, and my first child is about to be born. I want him to be born in the most beautiful place in Fengdu City."
He made it clear that he wanted to consecrate the Immortal Palace, and Marquis Fengdu immediately agreed without any hesitation.
However, he was still cautious, reasoning that he needed some manpower to take care of it first, lest Concubine Huai, who had lost her status, would not get used to living there.
Zhu Xuxing changed his usual gentle and tolerant attitude and directly ordered him: "Ten days, I'll give you ten days to prepare."
Marquis Fengdu has seen the prince more than once or twice. The handsome young man who used to be as gentle as jade has now grown thorns.
Zhu Xuxing deliberately made a fuss about Fengxian Palace and also deliberately provoked him.
He wanted to see if he would bow his head and if he was still afraid of the majesty of the court.
On the surface, it seems that the monarch and his subjects are in harmony, but secretly, everyone is preparing to take action.
Zhu Xuxing was surrounded by the mighty Huangji Guards, and Fengdu Marquis did not dare to take action easily. In addition, Wei Li was also there, mysteriously missing.
Xu Zhihuai woke up leisurely and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no Zhu Xingxing.
Her stomach didn't hurt so much anymore, but she still didn't dare to move her legs. She lay there for too long, and all the joints in her body ached.
Jinhua carefully massaged her calves, turning her over and wiping her at the right time.
"Jinhua, I have become a useless person again."
Jinhua shook her head repeatedly, with tears in her eyes.
Xu Zhihuai murmured: "You have been following me for the past few years, either relying on others or being frightened. Now I have no tongue... I don't know how to go forward, but you still have a choice. If you want to go …”
Jinhua didn't wait for her to finish speaking before she opened her mouth and cried loudly, crying very aggrieved.
"Jinhua, last time he chopped off your tongue, next time he might chop off your head."
Xu Zhihuai wasn't trying to scare her.
The closer she gets to the truth, the closer it will be for her and Wei Li to fight to the death.
Jinhua shook her head desperately.
In desperation, she dipped her fingers in some water, drew on the ground and wrote: "We will die together."
Xu Zhihuai smiled helplessly: "For a person like me who has done everything in his power, I'm actually lucky to have a loyal and good person like you by my side."
She calmed down and calculated the account carefully.
From replacing "Xu Zhihuai" to the capital, every step is shocking.
After meeting Qingyi Hou Wei Li, she thought she could find a way, but was tortured by Wei Li until she was physically and mentally exhausted. Finally, she met the prince, her only light.
But he had never seen suffering in the world, and he was too weak.
After all the calculations, it was a doomed outcome.
Xu Zhihuai caressed her belly unconsciously again. She also lost two children. She used them to seek future opportunities, but she got the same nightmare again.
If the child can't be saved, her life can't be saved either... As he thought about it, Xu Zhihuai couldn't help but smile bitterly and muttered his name silently: Ran Ningke, Ran Ningke, do you still have a way to go?
