He felt inexplicably guilty, and even his tone of voice stuttered a bit. He had never been so abnormal before, which made Zhu Xiuxing even more confused and said: "It turns out that you are also cautious sometimes."
Wei Li pursed her lips, but her restrained gaze still unconsciously glanced at the corner of the baby. His stiff body was filled with instinctive impulses, and soon his pupils seemed to be tightly sucked by something.
The baby in the swaddling clothes was wrapped tightly, only a small sleeping face was exposed, glowing with purple.
She has a small nose and a small mouth.
She closed her eyes tightly, opened her mouth slightly, her breathing seemed not smooth, and her brows were slightly wrinkled, showing natural worry.
Wei Li took a quick glance and barely had time to see her face clearly, and couldn't tell whether she looked like Xu Zhihuai or whether she resembled him...
Zhu Xuxing looked at his daughter with a doting look on his face: "She is my all hope, everything."
The doctors all said that it was a miracle that she survived.
More than a dozen people guarded her and took care of her, but unfortunately she was never held or coaxed by her mother.
Zhu Xuxing lowered his head and lowered his eyes, thinking deeply: "Look at her, she is so young, so weak, so innocent."
After being fed by the wet nurses, she still smelled of milk.
Wei Li gathered up his courage again and glanced at the child.
His heartbeat accelerated, his breathing became rapid, and he took half a step back even more panicked.
"With His Highness' blessing, the little princess will be safe and sound."
"She must be safe, Wei Li."
Zhu Xuxing suddenly became serious and raised his eyes to look at him: "From today on, she is the person who needs your protection the most. No matter when, where or who is, you must always keep her safe and not allow anyone or anything to hurt her in the slightest."
"Your Highness, I am a foreign minister. After the little princess returns to the palace, we can arrange more manpower for defense."
"Wei Li, she is my life from now on."
Zhu Xuxing spoke earnestly and looked into his eyes: "I only believe in you."
Wei Li nodded heavily: "I accept your order."
As soon as he finished saying this, he saw Jinhua staring at him defensively.
The usually strong aura had long since evaporated.
He couldn't wait to leave here, and then hurriedly bowed and said goodbye.
Wei Li rushed out without hesitation, striding across the thresholds until he left all his thoughts behind.
When he walked to the street, he looked at the empty street, and the little face kept flashing before his eyes.
He couldn't sleep all night and couldn't forget it.
For several days after that, he was in a daze and had a bad temper. He felt that he could no longer stay in Fengdu City.
However, when he was really ready to leave the city, he hesitated.
Another half month passed, and the people in Fengdu City couldn't stand it any longer. They divided into two groups. One group hated the imperial court and oppressed the people. One faction hated the Marquis of Fengdu for betraying the court and abandoned the city and fled.
Wei Li immediately ordered to recruit knowledgeable people in the city. Those who attacked the Immortal Palace with the imperial court would be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. Those who captured the head of the Marquis of Fengdu would be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold.
Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men.
They gathered at the gate of the city eager to try. For several days, there were more and more people and the momentum became stronger and higher.
Wei Li felt it was time and said to Zhu Xuxing, "Your Highness, it's time for us to take action."
Zhu Xuxing was still worried: "They are just ordinary people, how can they have the ability to charge into battle? Moreover, the top of Lingyue Mountain is a thousand feet high, and they will be exhausted after attacking."
Wei Li smiled faintly: "Your Highness is familiar with the art of war, so he naturally knows how to use the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son. I also led the people from Fengdu City to surround the Fengdu Marquis to make him understand that the situation is over and exhaust his arrogance."
Zhu Xuxing also smiled when he heard this, and said in an approving tone: "You have indeed gained a lot of abilities."
"Everything is ready, I'm just waiting for a word from His Highness."
Zhu Xuxing nodded solemnly: "Just go ahead and do it. I will stay in the city and stay with Huai'er all the time. I can't live without her or my children."
Wei Li lowered his head to hide his emotions: "I understand that I will do my best for His Highness."
Wei Li led his troops away with a gust of wind and lightning.
Zhu Xuxing returned to Xu Zhihuai's bedside, wiped her cheek gently and talked to her.
"Huai'er, my daughter opened her eyes today. Her eyes are as beautiful as yours."
"She is still very weak, and she cries very quietly, ying ying nuo nuo, do you know how cute she is?"
"Huai'er...can you wake up quickly?"
"Let's go back to the palace together, let's go home together."
The tenderness in his heart turned into soft whispers.
If God knew, maybe everyone would be moved.
Xu Zhihuai fell into a peaceful sleep and could not escape until a low whisper sounded in his ears.
Someone said a lot of things, but she couldn't hear them clearly.
Whenever she tried her best to understand something, her body would regain some consciousness.
Her arms and hands were stiff and unable to move.
Her sense of smell could detect bursts of familiar bitterness.
Her touch made her feel a warmth that didn't belong to him.
A dim light could be seen in her eyes.
Zhu Suxing couldn't take off his clothes and stayed up all night. He held her hand, carefully rubbed each of her slender fingers, and recalled: "Huai'er, when we first met, I found your hands to be extremely beautiful. Small and slender, Fair and clear..."
As he was saying this, he suddenly felt the fingers in his palm move.
Zhu Xuxing was shocked and hurriedly leaned over to check carefully: "Huai'er, did you hear that?"
Xu Zhihuai's eyelashes trembled slightly and his eyelids rolled, which was a clear sign that he was about to wake up.
Zhu Xingxing was very happy and called the doctor and his maids.
Xu Zhihuai woke up. The moment she opened her eyes, she almost squeezed out two words from her throat: "Child..."
Her last memory was of her unborn child.
Zhu Xuxing's eyes filled with tears and he almost cried with joy.
He leaned down, hugged Xu Zhihuai's weak body tightly, and said over and over again in her ear: "Thank you Huai'er, thank you."
It took Xu Zhihuai half a day to sort out her thoughts. She couldn't imagine that she would lie in bed for more than a month, and midsummer was almost over.
When Jinhua came over with the child in her arms with tears on her face, Xu Zhihuai's heart clenched. She wanted the child, but she didn't dare to have the child.
"Huai'er, look at her."
Xu Zhihuai's mood was complicated. He smiled weakly and stretched out his hands to hug the child, but he couldn't help but lower them.
Zhu Xuxing took the swaddling clothes and leaned in front of her.
Xu Zhihuai lowered his eyes and looked up and down, feeling at a loss what to do.
She was not a beautiful baby, she was sickly. The complexion is dark, the eyes are closed tightly, the breathing is very slow, and the outline of the facial features is also blurred.
"Is she okay?"
Xu Zhihuai asked with difficulty.
Zhu Xuxing said with emotion: "She is the best, the best."
