Xu Zhihuai has a good reputation. She is famous for her beauty and beauty, but no one has ever heard of her intelligence and skills. However, it is necessary to be on guard against others. Marquis Fengdu still ordered someone to check Xu Zhihuai's background. He couldn't figure out why his daughter would trust such a strange woman who was neither a relative nor an acquaintance.
Xu Zhihuai and Jinhua are always most comfortable together.
After Zhu Xuxing left, her mood fluctuated, and she accidentally had fetal gas again.
The doctor came over to check his pulse. His voice was hoarse, he was much thinner and haggard, and his complexion was worse than that of the patient.
Xu Zhihuai couldn't see clearly through the curtain, and could only hear his voice, which was very soft.
"My stomach is still aching."
"Your Majesty's fetus is not stable. It's best not to walk around for the next two days. I will give you another prescription. I hope you can forgive me."
"It's just an extra bowl of medicine, it doesn't hurt."
It doesn’t matter if the hardships add to the hardships, just get used to it.
After he left, Jinhua came over to do some drawing gestures.
Xu Zhihuai understood, and she said something was wrong with him.
"The lives of his whole family depend on me, how can he not be afraid?"
Jinhua nodded.
Xu Zhihuai took the bitter medicine for half a day, fell asleep for a while, and woke up after dusk.
She looked at the empty room, feeling deserted.
Soon, she realized that she was not alone. There was a living life in her belly. Compared with her hard heart, he was so weak and harmless.
Xu Zhihuai stroked his swollen belly and gently hummed a nursery rhyme from his childhood.
Finally there was some movement in the house.
When she was tired of humming, a few bursts of applause suddenly came from the door, which was very sudden.
Xu Zhihuai looked around, but saw no one. He only saw a corner of his robe, with crow green and dark gold patterns, gorgeous but not ostentatious.
Xu Zhihuai said doubtfully: "The Marquis should not be here, the Marquis should be by His Highness's side. The Marquis is a man who does important things, why should he be so sneaky..."
"His Highness has not left the city. He is safe, safer than you."
Wei Li walked as he spoke, standing a few steps away from her.
"Master Marquis shouldn't be here."
Xu Zhihuai's eyes darkened slightly, with a bit of reproach in his eyes.
At the critical moment of life and death, he couldn't find the leisure and ease to get entangled with her.
Wei Li smiled instead of being angry, and sat down minding his own business: "My dear, don't worry, I'm here today because I have something important to do."
"Nothing is more important than the safety of His Highness."
Wei Li curled his lips and said, "Reinforcements have arrived. The person who should be afraid now is not the prince, but the Marquis of Fengdu."
Xu Zhihuai was quite surprised: "Have the arrangements been made so quickly?"
"Because the eldest princess has returned to Beijing, everything has turned for the better."
Xu Zhihuai stopped talking and did not dare to ask any more questions.
What did Zhu Weizhen do, and what is the situation in the capital like today?
"Let's just say things will calm down soon."
Wei Li shrugged and said calmly: "Maybe it won't be fast, but it will definitely be easy."
"With these words from the Marquis, I feel at ease."
Xu Zhihuai secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, Wei Li asked again: "Is your Majesty now at ease?"
She was alert: "Master Hou, there is something in his words."
The evil smile on his lips was disturbing.
"Does your Majesty know the origin of Fengxian Palace?"
Wei Li asked suddenly. Xu Zhihuai was unprepared and his heart beat faster: "Your Highness said a few words to me, but I didn't pay much attention."
"Fengxian Palace was built on the top of a mountain. It took ten years, which is so long..."
Xu Zhihuai didn't dare to listen anymore.
“Is it worth it to waste people and money?”
Wei Li's eyes burned brightly: "It's certainly worthwhile to ask the immortal."
Xu Zhihuai pursed his lips and looked at him silently.
Wei Li saw her nervous expression and solemn eyebrows, and asked again: "Is it true that the empress has never been to Fengdu?"
Xu Zhihuai secretly clenched the hand hidden under the quilt, keeping calm and unhurried: "I am from Huaizhou. When I was young, I traveled with my parents several times. I don't even remember where I went. Fengdu...maybe I have been here before, maybe I have never been here..."
Her answer was too ambiguous and seemed to be deliberately covering up.
Wei Li looked at her deeply and could see through her lies at a glance.
Xu Zhihuai also looked back at him, breathing slowly and not showing any flaws.
"It's a pity that the empress has no relatives or relatives now."
Xu Zhihuai's eyes flashed: "Why did Mr. Hou suddenly become emotional? Is Mr. Hou pitying me, or is he doubting me?"
Wei Li put one hand on the table and tapped his long fingers on the table again and again.
"My empress has a pitiful life experience, which makes people sympathize with her."
Xu Zhihuai felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he couldn't help but laugh out loud at him.
"It turns out that Lord Marquis has such a soft heart, I didn't know before."
"I don't remember, I have always been soft-hearted towards you."
As soon as these words came out, there was a stagnant silence in the room.
Xu Zhihuai didn't want to talk in circles with him anymore: "Master Hou, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. I'm very tired and I really have no energy."
"There are some secrets..."
Wei Li went straight in, leaving no room for her to breathe.
"It can't be defended."
Xu Zhihuai took a deep breath, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes: "Even if there are secrets, they are old things. They were buried deep in the mud and have not been exposed to light for many years. They have long since rotted and stinked. Why bother digging them out? Master Hou?" When you met me, I was Xu Zhihuai, and now I am still Xu Zhihuai. There is no difference."
After all, she is still smart, avoiding the important and taking the easy, leaving no excuses.
Wei Li didn't ask for help today: "That's right, there are too many true and false things in this world."
He stood up and took two steps closer to the bed: "In three days, the Marquis of Fengdu will order the city to be closed. Do you have the guts to stay here?"
Xu Zhihuai muttered: "For His Highness, I naturally want to stay..."
She paused slightly, then raised her eyes to look at him: "For the sake of our children, I want to stay."
Wei Li frowned: "Mother, be careful what you say, there is never the word "us"."
Xu Zhihuai smiled bitterly: "It's not us, it's a secret. There is another dark secret in the world."
He only wanted to explore her bottom, but he didn't expect that she would be caught off guard and hit him.
Even a soft knife can draw blood.
Xu Zhihuai looked directly at Wei Li with stubborn eyes.
Why is he so confident?
He had a secret love affair with her, he had an affair with her, and he and her would never see each other again.
Wei Li sneered and clapped several times: "Your Majesty is indeed smart."
Xu Zhihuai also smiled back: "Master Hou is also a sensible person, and he can tell everything at once."
The two looked at each other, seemingly calm, but in fact there were many undercurrents.
“Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters.”
Xu Zhihuai spoke again: "Master Hou, you will help me keep the secret, right?"
Wei Li didn't respond, still looking straight at her.
Xu Zhihuai's eyes were glistening: "Master Hou will help me, right?"
"Master Hou..."
"I can."
Wei Li opened her thin lips slightly and whispered, "You will definitely get what you want."
