The moment Xu Zhihuai came closer, Wei Li instinctively stretched his arms and hugged her into his arms without making a move, doing it in one go, as if he had done the same thing thousands of times.
He was already familiar with her body.
Wei Li's face looked a little relaxed and satisfied.
Xu Zhihuai added jealously: "He insulted the reputation of the Marquis. Why didn't the Marquis teach him a lesson? The Marquis is not such a good-tempered person."
Wei Li laughed when he heard this: "You said that on purpose, right? It's so far-fetched."
Xu Zhihuai fell silent at the right moment, not wanting to say too much or make too many mistakes.
Neither of them spoke, and the surroundings became quiet again.
Wei Li silently felt her body temperature, and her swollen belly was right against his body. It was such an unfamiliar touch.
Xu Zhihuai calmed down, tried not to recall the tragedy of that year, and tried not to let himself cry.
If he cried, Wei Li would only become suspicious.
She couldn't cry, tears couldn't kill Wei Li.
After an unknown amount of time, Wei Li raised his hand to fiddle with her hair and lowered his eyes to look at her sleeping face. Her fair and moist skin was extremely smooth to the touch.
Her face was like a piece of warm jade.
Xu Zhihuai pretended to be asleep and pretended that nothing happened.
It didn't matter what he wanted to do, she wouldn't resist or obey.
However, he just looked at her sleeping face, looking again and again.
At dawn, Jinhua came over to bring warm water. She just raised the curtain and took a look, but was so frightened by Wei Li who looked at her coldly that she didn't dare to move.
Wei Li didn't close his eyes all night, and his arms were motionless.
The person in his arms breathed shallowly, and a breeze blew in his ears.
Jinhua saw this and stepped back.
Xu Zhihuai didn't sleep well and knew that she had been here. But if Wei Li didn't leave, she didn't want to wake up. When she saw his face again, she really didn't know what she would do.
Wei Li waited until dawn before leaving.
He left in a hurry and quietly, leaving no words behind.
Xu Zhihuai knew everything and was only slightly relieved.
Jinhua hurriedly prepared hot water to wash her body.
The loose clothes were untied, revealing a purple-colored belly. The mottled and thick color looked like it had been beaten hard.
Xu Zhihuai lowered his eyes and felt sad.
The kid was just as scarred as she was, so pitiful.
Jinhua changed her clothes and changed the bedding and sheets.
She knew that the master hated Wei Li the most, and every bed he slept on must be replaced with a new one.
Because he spent too much energy, Xu Zhihuai felt even more tired and had no energy all day long.
However, she still insisted on waiting for His Royal Highness to return.
Zhu Xuxing said that it would only take a day or two.
Unfortunately, she did not wait for the prince, but only saw Wei Li.
His frequent comings and goings will definitely attract attention.
How can you stop everyone talking?
Xu Zhihuai confessed to him and advised him to be careful.
Wei Li thought she would be as docile and pleasant as last night, but he didn't expect her to act like she didn't want to get close to him again.
"I didn't expect that the empress would care so much about her reputation."
Xu Zhihuai said calmly: "Master Hou, don't make fun of me. How can I have any good reputation in front of Master Hou? I just don't want to ruin the big thing, let alone His Highness the Crown Prince discover anything..."
A sharp look flashed in Wei Li's eyes.
"Let's tell the truth. It's the prince you want to wait for, not me."
Xu Zhihuai pursed his lips and remained silent.
As long as he knows what's going on.
Wei Li felt even more disappointed when he saw that she acquiesced.
Soon, this disappointment turned into a thin layer of anger.
His calm eyes slowly lowered to look at her belly, and his anger quickly disappeared without a trace.
never mind!
Why should he care about this.
Wei Li stood up slowly and returned to his usual cold and serious tone: "Since your Majesty is so concerned about Your Highness, how can I not let Your Majesty get her wish?"
After saying that, he turned around and left, very decisively.
Xu Zhihuai looked at his back with a deep feeling in his heart.
Wei Li really did what he said.
Zhu Xuxing returned early the next morning, covered in moisture and with a gentle and healthy smile on his face, bright and bright.
Xu Zhihuai's eyes became brighter with his appearance.
"Your Highness."
Zhu Xuxing didn't allow her to move. He gently pressed her shoulders, leaned down, and whispered to her, "I've finally met you."
"Huai'er, I really miss you and my children..."
Zhu Xuxing's enthusiastic tone was like a child receiving a reward.
His sincerity is the best tonic.
Xu Zhihuai smiled: "I am the same, I am always thinking about His Highness. How are things going outside?"
Zhu Xuxing hesitated for a moment, lowered his head to her belly, and said gently: "Don't worry, let me talk to our child for a while first."
His gentleness made Xu Zhihuai's tense heart gradually return to calm.
"Are you good? Have you ever bullied my mother?"
Xu Zhihuai is certain that Zhu Suxing will become a loving father, kind and gentle in the future.
Zhu Xuxing got close to the child for a while, then raised his head and said to Xu Zhihuai: "Everything outside has been arranged."
"Is the city really going to be closed down?"
"This is the best way."
Zhu Xuxing held Xu Zhihuai's hand: "I also want to eliminate all this without bloodshed, but unfortunately, our opponent is too powerful."
"The city is sealed, what will your Highness do?"
Zhu Xuxing smiled faintly: "Of course I am fully prepared. I will be with you, we are here."
Xu Zhihuai asked no more questions: "With Your Highness here, I am not afraid of anything."
In fact, Zhu Xingxing's plan is very simple.
He would not charge into the city with his troops and kill Fengduhou to a bloody pulp. The people in the city were innocent.
Zhu Xuxing stayed in Fengdu City and only used his crown prince seal to force Fengdu Marquis to hand over Fengxian Palace. If he didn't hand over Fengxian Palace, he could use excuses to confiscate his power and troops. It was logical to make mistakes first and then punish them.
Of course, Marquis Fengdu would not sit still and wait for death. He had already climbed Mount Lingyue with his entourage and daughter.
In other words, there is no longer a Marquis of Fengdu in Fengdu.
Xu Zhihuai was puzzled: "In that case, why does Your Highness still need to seal the city?"
Zhu Xuxing smiled faintly: "Huai'er, the court must do things with integrity. The city gate is closed, which is the important place of the court. This city no longer belongs to the Marquis of Fengdu."
"Then what if Marquis Fengdu doesn't come back?"
Zhu Xuxing smiled and scratched the tip of her delicate nose: "He is guarding a mountain, what else can he do? Is the grass turning into a bandit?"
"He will definitely come back. Even for the sake of these tens of thousands of people, he will come back."
Xu Zhihuai's heart sank slightly, and then he understood: "Did His Highness set a trap for him?"
"That's right."
"A trap that presents a dilemma between loyalty and righteousness. A trap that will never be recovered unless you are a loyal minister."
Although Zhu Xuxing was smiling, every word he said was cruel.
Once the city is sealed, the people in the city are the biggest bargaining chip.
They have lost their way of life and hope, and can only wait in endless despair.
This city is the hard work of Fengduhou, and it is also his honor and his root.
