The cool moonlight and the sad cry.
Wei Li stood there, in a dilemma. He despised women's tears the most, but she seemed not to be afraid of death, crying in front of him again and again.
He felt as if his chest was blocked by a heavy stone, making him unable to breathe.
Wei Li felt anxious.
He couldn't help but scolded: "Stop crying!"
Xu Zhihuai raised his wet face, just in time to see him turn around and walk over angrily.
He held her face in his hands too excitedly, and his hands were like iron pliers, firmly and tightly.
"I said, I can still save your life, why are you panicking? Are you so anxious to mourn for yourself?"
Xu Zhihuai closed his eyes and shed tears, refusing to beg him again.
When Wei Li saw this, he had to let go of his hand: "Even if you don't believe me, you must believe His Highness. He knows everything, but he still insists on protecting you."
Xu Zhihuai sniffed and lowered his head to wipe the tears from his face.
Wei Li raised her chin and saw her tearful eyes, and asked in confusion: "Where has your courage gone? When have you ever been so afraid in the past?"
Xu Zhihuai said with tears: "Master Hou has no weakness and can ignore everything, but I have a daughter... I gave her life. She is not even one year old yet, why should she be buried with me!"
Wei Li's eyes flashed, sharp and bright: "As long as you are well, she will be well."
Xu Zhihuai looked at him with tears in his eyes: "Will I be okay?"
"Have you forgotten that you are His Royal Highness's most beloved woman?"
It was really rare for this sentence to come out of his mouth.
Xu Zhihuai stopped crying and wiped his face with a handkerchief.
Wei Li also regained his sense, took a few steps back, and said in a deep voice: "Everything needs to be discussed in the long run. If you want to discuss it, then discuss it carefully. If your mind is not clear, then have a good sleep. I promise tonight No one will die!"
After he finished speaking vigorously, Xu Zhihuai realized later: "Is the Marquis trying to comfort me?"
Wei Li disdainfully said, "I don't know how to coax people, let alone you."
Xu Zhihuai took advantage of the situation and said, "Then I will assume that what the Marquis said is the truth."
"fool!"
Wei Li cursed in a low voice: "Stupid people don't deserve to live a good life."
He sat down again, picked up the tea cup, and drank the warm tea in one gulp, as if he was deliberately giving her face.
"I won't talk about it today. I'll talk about it later when you wake up."
Early the next morning, the weak cry of a baby rang out in the quiet courtyard.
Jinhua sleepily picked up An'er who had just finished eating, carried her on her back with a sling, and gently coaxed her.
An'er stopped crying as soon as he was on her back and fell asleep humming.
Xu Zhihuai stood up with his clothes on, looking at her peaceful sleeping face and Jinhua's gentle smile, he suddenly said with emotion: "She likes you so much, it seems like you should be her mother."
Jinhua was startled when she heard this, shook her head repeatedly, and knelt down.
She couldn't speak and was sweating profusely.
Xu Zhihuai hurriedly stretched out his hand to caress her and stopped her from kneeling: "I'm not blaming you for anything, I'm praising you for loving her."
Jinhua breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and gestured repeatedly.
Xu Zhihuai suddenly grabbed her hand and said solemnly: "Jinhua, we have been walking all the way, and I only believe in you. If...I mean if, if I have any shortcomings, you have to take An'er to escape, can you escape?" Far away, to a place where no one can find her. You have to help me raise her up so that she no longer suffers from the pain of being homeless."
Jinhua's eyes were red, and she couldn't even nod or shake her head.
"Please Jinhua, I beg you."
Before Jinhua agreed, she suddenly heard a voice outside the door: "Are you making funeral arrangements so early?"
Xu Zhihuai frowned. When she opened the door, she saw Wei Li wearing regular clothes, standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, serious and upright, and refreshed.
Wei Li saw that her eyebrows still had traces of crying last night, slightly red and swollen, and behind her stood Jinhua, who was also crying.
Wei Li said irritably: "I have something important to say, please clean up."
Xu Zhihuai hurriedly combed his hair and changed clothes, and went to the main hall to talk with him.
Wei Li went straight to the point: "The eldest princess has sent someone, a first-class inner court expert."
"Who else is more powerful than Huang Jiwei?"
Wei Li sneered: "You just remembered to compliment me?"
Xu Zhihuai lowered his eyes: "Please tell me, Lord Marquis, what should I do?"
"Simple, I will give you two options. One is to pretend to be dead. I will find you a perfect substitute. The figure and appearance are 80% similar to yours. As long as the whole body is not left, no one can recognize it. From now on, you will no longer be Xu Zhihuai , except Xu Zhihuai, you can be anyone."
Xu Zhihuai shook his head slowly: "Is there any other way?"
"The second is that you remain anonymous and disappear from the world."
Xu Zhihuai was not unprepared and asked: "Is the Marquis so sure? Where will the Marquis hide me?"
"Anyway, you have your place to go."
Wei Li stared into her eyes and said, "Choose."
Xu Zhihuai pondered for a moment: "Evaporated from the world."
She didn't want to give up her identity as Xu Zhihuai. She had worked hard for so long, gave up the name her father and mother had given her, and given up her dignity, just to be erased with one stroke? impossible!
Wei Li immediately saw through her thoughts: "You still want to leave a way out for yourself. You also want to return to the capital and return to the prince's side."
Xu Zhihuai said calmly: "Yes."
Wei Li smiled meaningfully: "I wish you will get what you want as soon as possible."
Xu Zhihuai asked: "Then should we leave?"
"Not urgent."
Wei Li counted the days: "They won't arrive so soon. Let's stay here to recuperate for a few days. When you go down the mountain, you have to walk on a steep path, and there is no soft sedan for you to sit on. Fengxian Palace has everything, and finally you are not treated badly. you."
Xu Zhihuai looked around and hesitated: "This place... always gives people a gloomy feeling."
Wei Li smiled: "Are you still picky?"
"I just feel like something's not right here. It seems like there's always a pair of eyes staring in the dark."
"Have you stayed with that crazy girl for a long time and learned all those useless nonsense?"
"Forget it if the Marquis doesn't believe it."
Wei Li looked at her downcast face: "I want to go down the mountain. No matter what the gods and ghosts are, you have to stay here and wait for me to come back."
Xu Zhihuai nodded silently.
Although Wei Li did not believe her lies, he still sent extra manpower to guard the place and did not allow anyone to approach the palace where Xu Zhihuai lived.
Wei Li went down the mountain and returned to the city, and received the second secret order from Flying Pigeon. When he opened it, he saw that it was Zhu Xuxing Junxiu's handwriting.
He asked him to protect Xu Zhihuai at all costs. However, there is still a letter on the table opposite, which has just been delivered at high speed from the capital.
The eldest princess also wrote a letter to him, asking him to hand over Xu Zhihuai.
As long as Wei Li handles everything cleanly, she will forget about the scandal between them.
