"I know!"
Zhu Xuxing's eyes were sincere and his tone was deep: "I understand the pain in eldest sister's heart."
Zhu Weizhen clasped his wrist with his backhand, pressed his fingertips on his pounding pulse, and asked: "Do you really understand? That is not pain, it is endless darkness, boundless despair, unable to breathe, unable to think , The body is obviously still conscious, but the heart is dead, completely dead. How would you understand? Unless you have also lost a child..."
Zhu Xuxing was shocked when he heard this, and quickly and decisively withdrew his hand: "Sister! These things have nothing to do with Huai'er!"
Zhu Weizhen smiled bitterly: "But after I mentioned it, you became anxious. If someone really did something to her, you would only be crazier and crueler than me."
Zhu Xuxing stood up and paced back and forth, as if he was controlled by an invisible barrier and couldn't get out no matter what.
The bright young man's eyebrows no longer showed high spirits, only embarrassment and loneliness.
"The prince is the future prince. There is nothing wrong with him sitting on the throne a few years ago." Zhu Weizhen tidied up the chess game bit by bit, and the chess pieces were put into the box with a crisp sound.
"Sister!"
Zhu Xuxing hesitated to speak, his face was full of resistance and uneasiness.
Zhu Weizhen raised his eyes and looked at him: "If the prince doesn't want to, then call Wei Li back and let him lead the Huangji Guards to chop off the head of me, a traitor and traitor!"
"Sister..."
Zhu Xuxing was completely heartbroken by these words. He covered his chest and tried his best to control his breathing: "We are still a family. Regardless of the court and the country, regardless of our grudges, we are still a family."
Seeing his brother in such pain, Zhu Weizhen's eyes turned slightly red: "Home? I have no home for a long time."
"What about the Queen Mother?"
Zhu Xuxing reasoned: "The Queen Mother did nothing wrong."
"No."
A drop of crystal tears flashed from the corner of Zhu Weizhen's eyes, and it disappeared in a flash: "We are all wrong, and we all have to pay the price. I have made up my mind, and no one can stop me."
Zhu Xuxing lowered his head and remained silent for a long time before saying, "I won't stop eldest sister, I just need time."
Zhu Weizhen was well aware of his pure kindness: "There is no delaying strategy, and there is no compromise. In one month at most, His Highness should prepare for the enthronement ceremony early."
"By the way, there is also Xu Zhihuai. Your Highness should not try to bring her back to the capital again."
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Xiuxing's heart felt like it was hit hard.
"Huai'er is mine..."
Zhu Weizhen didn't wait for him to finish, and said bluntly: "She is not yours, she is Wei Li's."
Father, like son.
It was obviously a truth that could be revealed at a glance, but he couldn't see it.
Zhu Xuxing frowned and shook his head: "Eldest sister, don't blame Huai'er, she is innocent."
Zhu Weizhen laughed: "How can she be innocent? She is just an exquisite snack prepared by Wei Li for you to have fun with."
"Sister, please stop talking."
Zhu Xuxing's face was ferocious, and he held back his overwhelming anger to stop her and said: "I cannot allow anyone to despise and trample Huai'er. She is precious and irreplaceable. She is the mother of my child."
Unexpectedly, Zhu Weizhen didn't give him a chance to persist, and said: "That's not your child. If you don't believe it, I can find any personal or physical evidence."
"Eldest sister is bullying others too much!"
Zhu Xuxing couldn't hold back at all, and his throat hurt as if it was on fire: "Huaier won't do that kind of thing."
"She belongs to Wei Li, and she will only listen to Wei Li's words."
"Sister! I don't want to fall out with you, and I don't want to say things I shouldn't say to you. Don't force me."
Zhu Weizhen smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, the truth is always ugly, and you will know it sooner or later." After saying that, she turned to leave, and when she came to the door, she left a faint sentence: "In three days, I will hand over the evidence to you. If you are reluctant to take action, I will help you...this is what I, the eldest sister, should do."
Zhu Xuxing gasped angrily, clenching his fists tightly to suppress the urge to throw them over the table and hit the wall.
Anger can make people cruel, wishing to destroy everything in front of them...
Zhu Weizhen deliberately revealed Xu Zhihuai's true identity, not just to let out a sigh of relief. She wanted Zhu Xuxing to truly understand what real pain and betrayal was.
Sacrificing Xu Zhihuai, even if Wei Li was sacrificed, it didn't matter to her.
She wants him to be cruel, she wants him to be angry.
However, Zhu Weizhen still underestimated his brother's affection.
Zhu Xuxing was not swayed by his sister's words. He immediately sent a carrier pigeon to deliver a message to Wei Li, asking him to properly place Xu Zhihuai and not to respond to the capital's secret order for the time being unless it was in his own handwriting.
A dove is let out, but a heart that cannot be taken back.
Zhu Xuxing stood alone on the tall Bell and Drum Tower, feeling lonely everywhere he looked.
He even envied the pigeon that flew far away, because it could leave here and fly to Xu Zhihuai's side.
After Wei Li received the letter, he knew something was wrong.
Zhu Xuxing suddenly wanted to hide her, for whom?
Xie Ningchao is dead, Xie Wuyou has fallen outside the palace, and Marquis Fengdu has disappeared... Who would use Xu Zhihuai as his weakness?
In the flash of lightning, an unknown thought flashed through Wei Li's mind.
The eldest princess?
The city and outside Fengdu were purged. For Xu Zhihuai, this place was safer than the capital.
However, once the prince had spoken, he would make arrangements.
Wei Li pondered for a long time and finally came to Xu Zhihuai. He avoided the important things and said lightly: "It's not very safe in the city now. You'd better follow me up the mountain."
Xu Zhihuai was slightly startled, with some suspicion: "What happened in the city?"
"I can't explain a word or two. Madam, please hurry up and clean up. Let's go up the mountain tomorrow..."
"etc!"
Xu Zhihuai intercepted his words: "Master Hou, are you talking about Lingyue Mountain?"
Wei Li nodded: "Of course, it wouldn't be a waste to leave such a gorgeous and luxurious palace unoccupied."
Xu Zhihuai felt that the matter was not that simple, so he just said: "Master Hou, you should tell me the truth."
Wei Li frowned: "If you don't tell the truth, you have to leave. Go with me. This is the prince's wish."
Xu Zhihuai retorted subconsciously: "I don't believe it."
Wei Li laughed angrily at her, his eyes focused deeply: "If you don't leave, I have plenty of ways to take you away."
"Aren't the Marquis and I co-conspirators? Can't I even hear a word of truth?"
Her stubbornness drove him crazy.
"Someone wants to touch you. The prince is afraid that you will die without a burial place, so he wants to take you out of Fengdu City. Do you understand?"
Wei Li told the truth she wanted to know, but Xu Zhihuai fell into even greater confusion and looked at him dumbfounded: "Who?"
She can count on five fingers the number of people she has offended. Moreover, the person who wants to kill her the most has always been him...
Wei Li did not answer, but said in a threatening tone: "We will leave at Mao tomorrow. I don't want to hurt you, so you can take care of yourself."
