Does he have a heart too?
This moment of tenderness was the only bit of humanity he had left.
Xu Zhihuai's body was heavy and it was inconvenient to move. She held on to her bulging belly and turned over with difficulty.
Finally no longer facing Wei Li's cold face, she looked at the bed curtain and let out a long breath. Unexpectedly, the next second his long arm came across her body again.
Wei Li also turned over with her, and his whole body leaned towards her. The two figures, one tall and one short, were perfectly integrated. Xu Zhihuai looked at his hanging hand. The joints were clear, clean and slender.
He seemed to hesitate, but finally fell slowly.
These are hands that can only kill. He used these hands to touch her child...
Different from the hesitation last time, he touched it generously this time.
However, his methods were too crude and a bit ignorant and reckless.
Xu Zhihuai murmured: "Master Hou, please be gentle."
Wei Li paused, his fingers slightly stiff, and after touching for a while, he asked, "Why didn't he move?"
"Maybe he's tired, or maybe he's scared."
As soon as these words came out, Wei Li immediately clenched his fists.
He raised his eyes and saw her jet black hair, soft and fragrant.
He brought the tip of his nose a little closer, smelling the fragrance of her hair, and suddenly said: "The doctor said that this child cannot be delivered to full term, so you must be prepared in advance."
Xu Zhihuai sighed softly: "I know that by then, my child and I may only be able to live with one child."
Wei Li didn't like hearing her words very much. He grabbed her shoulders and used a slight force: "Are you an imperial physician or a doctor? What nonsense are you talking about with red lips and white teeth?"
Xu Zhihuai groaned in pain, causing him to let go: "Of course I hope everyone will be happy, but I've always been unlucky, and it's hard to get what I want."
Wei Li asked: "What do you want?"
Xu Zhihuai pondered.
What she wants is of course him.
She wanted him to live a life worse than death, she wanted him to be beyond redemption.
There was a brief silence, prompting Wei Li to ask: "What do you want? Is there anything else that the prince can't give you?"
Xu Zhihuai smiled softly: "I want the Marquis's heart."
It seems like a joke, but every word is sincere.
Wei Li was in a trance when he heard this. He wished he could turn her face over and take a look to see if she was telling the truth.
Xu Zhihuai would give up when he saw what was good, and would not be too ostentatious: "Master Hou, please talk to me. I can't sleep, and neither can Master Hou."
Wei Li chuckled: "You don't really want to pester me to tell you a story, do you?"
"No, how can the Marquis be so leisurely and relaxed? What I want to hear is about Fengdu Marquis, Fengxian Palace... how beautiful it is, worthy of His Highness, worthy of Fengdu Marquis, I will never forget it."
Wei Li leaned closer to her pillow and said against her neck: "A beautiful thing always arouses greed. Fengxian Palace is not a paradise, nor is Fengdu Marquis a fairyland on earth. A renegade desperado, his ambitions are nowhere near half as high as those of Xie Ningchao..."
In his deep voice, he told a cruel story.
"The Marquis of Fengdu had upheld the legacy of his ancestors and could have been the master of a party without having to submit to the imperial court. However, as a young man, he still hesitated. Ha..."
At this point, Wei Li sneered mercilessly, as if he was mocking his incompetence and naivety.
"The court's persuasion was particularly attractive. They promised him some kind of feudal official, and also said that he would be hereditary and his descendants would enjoy peace and prosperity forever. He believed it, gave up the glorious achievements of his ancestors, and moved to Fengdu honestly. Who knows? It is hot and humid all year round, the terrain is uneven, the mountains are not mountains, the roads are not roads, and there have been disasters and bandits year after year. In other words, the imperial court has given him a huge mess."
"Why did Marquis Fengdu build Fengxian Palace blatantly? He just wanted to make a fuss known to everyone and let the court see his rebellious heart."
Wei Li finally revealed the thoughts of Fengdu Marquis: "He and Xie Ningchao coveted the imperial court's money. He built Fengdu City to be impregnable just to break up with the imperial court and completely turn the world upside down."
Xu Zhihuai listened quietly, his eyes slightly focused.
"Lingyue Mountain was not called Lingyue Mountain at first. Marquis Fengdu changed its name and summoned a group of skilled craftsmen to spend countless money to build this beautiful fairy palace. During this period, you don't know how many things happened. I do not know."
At this point, Wei Li suddenly stopped talking. He raised his head slightly and looked at Xu Zhihuai, thinking that she was asleep.
Xu Zhihuai wanted to continue listening, so he turned over and looked at him: "What next?"
Wei Li looked into her eyes and continued: "Marquis Fengdu hid a great secret in Fengxian Palace, so after the construction of Fengxian Palace was completed, he killed all the craftsmen."
Xu Zhihuai could no longer pretend to be calm, his pupils trembled, and he asked lightly: "Did he kill so many people?"
Just to hide some terrible secret, I have to kill people and massacre the village...
However, she didn't completely believe Wei Li's words.
The story may be false, but her memories are true.
Back then, what she saw was clearly Huang Jiwei...
Wei Li saw a strange look on her face and thought she was frightened by this cruel story: "Crossing the river and tearing down bridges, killing people at random, this is not a new trick. But this is not his most hateful thing. He went to kill people in the name of Huang Jiwei. village!"
When Xu Zhihuai heard this, his heart thumped, as if he had touched some kind of secret mechanism, and in an instant, thousands of arrows pierced his heart.
In the blink of an eye, there were thin tears in her eyes.
Wei Li raised his eyebrows: "Why are you panicking?"
Xu Zhihuai hurriedly blinked to cover up: "No, I just think it's ridiculous. Who would dare to do things under the name of Huang Jiwei?"
She didn't believe it, not at all.
Wei Li smiled half-heartedly: "Fengdu is so far away from the capital. How many people have seen the real Huangji Guard? How many people have seen me?"
Xu Zhihuai bit his lip and remained silent.
She has seen it before.
Those waves stained red by blood are still fresh in my memory.
She also clearly remembers the killings in the Wu Mansion that night.
Xu Zhihuai remained silent and also maintained a calm sense.
Wei Li saw her eyes clear again and seemed to have something to say: "You don't believe it?"
"There are so many things going on here that I'm confused."
Xu Zhihuai smiled as if he was showing weakness, his smile was very forced.
Wei Li let out a long sigh of displeasure: "Forget it, in the eyes of everyone, I, Wei Li, am a heinous bastard, a murderous Yama, and I carry too many lives on my body, so Not bad for this bad reputation."
His half-joking tone made Xu Zhihuai resentful. She could no longer pretend, so she simply lowered her head and deliberately buried her face in his arms to prevent him from seeing her resentful and vicious eyes.
"The Marquis works for the imperial court, and he is justified in doing so. He shouldn't bear the infamy for others. Isn't the Marquis angry?"
She deliberately wanted to arouse the fire in his heart.
Anyway, she couldn't get the truth out of him.
