Is it that simple and easy?
Impossible, she knew him too well.
Xu Zhihuai pondered in his heart and asked after a long time: "After returning to Beijing, will the Marquis let me go?"
Wei Li sneered: "What's the use of letting you go? Let's go through the eldest princess first."
"That……"
Xu Zhihuai was about to speak but stopped.
It's hard enough to deal with a eldest princess, but adding him to the mix makes it even harder. If the two of them team up to deal with her...
Wei Li saw through her thoughts and said bluntly: "I said that I am reluctant to kill you, and my words still stand."
Xu Zhihuai frowned: "Is the Marquis so generous?"
Wei Li laughed again: "It's rare to meet someone who is not afraid of death. Let's have some fun."
Play?
Xu Zhihuai was shocked and surprised when he heard this.
She turned around and looked at the main hall of Fengxian Palace behind her, and suddenly asked: "What should I do here?"
Wei Li followed her gaze and said calmly: "Leave it to the gods."
Xu Zhihuai said again: "I want to take Wan'er back with me."
Wei Li shrugged indifferently: "Whatever you want."
The road down the mountain was equally rugged and difficult. Fortunately, the weather was not so hot, and there were patches of shade trees along the way.
With her skillful hands, Jinhua made a small bamboo basket, just enough to put An'er, who was wrapped in swaddling clothes, into it.
Her eyes were big, looking curiously at everything on the road.
Wei Li glanced at the child from a distance and thought she was transparent.
He didn't dare to take a closer look at her facial features.
If you read too much, you will write it down. If you write it down, you will get upset.
Mu Xiuwan couldn't bear to leave, always feeling that her father would come back.
Along the way, she was unhappy, Xu Zhihuai was worried, and Jinhua was the only one holding An'er and looking around happily.
Although she can't speak, she is good at coaxing children.
Xu Zhihuai didn't want to go back in such a daze, so he had to shamelessly ask Wei Li.
Wei Li knew that she would lose her temper: "The eldest princess and the prince will never fall out. The relationship between them is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea."
"Did the Marquis fool me before?"
"G."
Xu Zhihuai pondered: "What about An'er's life experience?"
Wei Li smiled: "You have more ideas than me. Haven't you already thought about it? As long as you bite your tongue tightly, who can find out the truth?"
"Master Marquis, don't forget, you are also an insider."
"I do not know anything."
Wei Li immediately distanced himself and made his position clear: "The blood of the royal family does not allow for mistakes."
"Okay, with the words of the Marquis, I can feel at ease."
In order to return to Beijing before early winter, Wei Li accelerated his trip.
After walking half of the waterway, we switched to carriages and horses, driving day and night.
The carriage and horses were bumpy, and after sitting for a long time, the bones all over the body were stiff and sore.
Xu Zhihuai couldn't bear it anymore, so he discussed with Wei Li whether he could rest in a nearby village for a few days.
Wei Li immediately objected: "You can't go to crowded places. Although the conditions for accommodation outside are a little worse, it's safer."
Xu Zhihuai said helplessly: "But An'er can't bear it. If she continues to be bumpy like this, she won't be able to eat well and sleep well, and she will get sick easily."
Wei Li's expression suddenly changed, as if he was a little impatient, and he flicked his cuffs with his fingers: "I will only escort you back to the capital, and will not help you raise your children."
Xu Zhihuai retorted lightly: "Didn't the Marquis say that? The royal bloodline does not allow for mistakes. An'er is the eldest daughter of the prince, isn't it worth the Marquis's troubles?"
Wei Li was about to darken his face when he heard Xu Zhihuai say again: "Master Hou, let's not fight anymore. When I return to the capital, I will stay by the Crown Prince's side honestly and will not cause trouble to Master Hou anymore." Trouble, I will never have anything to do with Mr. Hou again. For An'er, I will do anything. I won't fight or rob you. I will be a quiet plaything and ask Mr. Hou to fulfill your wish."
"You..."
Wei Li protracted his tone and stared deeply: "Sometimes you are smart and sometimes you are stupid. It's really not clear enough."
"If you don't want to fight, why are you going back?"
Xu Zhihuai also said truthfully: "How can I fight alone? I can't fight."
As soon as he said this, he suddenly stretched out a hand from the opposite side. The dry palm was covered with thin calluses and hideous scars.
"Master Hou?"
"accomplice."
Wei Li spoke in a low voice: "Aren't we accomplices?"
Xu Zhihuai carefully stretched out his hand, and he grabbed it tightly.
"Master Hou, are you still willing to help me?"
"You must also be able to regain a foothold in the palace. Just relying on a child is not a foolproof solution."
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, I never thought of using An'er to win favor."
Wei Li smiled half-heartedly: "Then I'll wait and see what you're capable of."
"Thank you, Lord Marquis."
really weird!
Wei Li's generosity is really abnormal.
Why should he be so calm and unconcerned if he is such a vengeful person?
He can erase everything effortlessly...
To be honest, he looks scarier when he's not being vicious.
Xu Zhihuai lowered his eyes to hide his thoughts.
Since he was still so confident, it just so happened that she didn't want to let him go at all.
Then continue to "use" each other.
Autumn in the capital is always particularly cheerful, and the emperor has been ill for several months. Now the prince Zhu Suxing is in charge of all major political affairs. He does everything personally, is diligent and fair, and naturally wins the praise and trust of the ministers in the court. In addition, he and the eldest princess also gave him advice.
The emperor's illness originally aroused people's panic, but after seeing Zhu Suxing's composure and courage, everyone began to look forward to the future prince ascending to the throne as soon as possible.
For more than a year, the imperial court suffered from internal and external troubles and many disasters. Xie Ningchao died, Fengdu Marquis ran away, Qingyi Marquis is coming back, who knows how many twists and turns there will be in the future.
Zhu Xuxing slept in the imperial study all day, rarely stepping out except for going to court to listen to music.
The empress said she had been ill for many days, but Zhu Weizhen took care of her carefully.
The queen felt unhappy, but she knew it in her heart.
Something is wrong.
She looked at her daughter who was serving her to drink the medicine. She lowered her head slightly, her brows and eyes still looked like they were when she was a child, and her skin was as white and crystal clear as white jade.
"Weizhen."
She suddenly called her.
Zhu Weizhen raised his eyes and looked over, with dark eyes and smiling lips, soft and gentle.
The queen hesitated to speak, her hesitant expression looked a little sad.
Zhu Weizhen spoke first and asked: "What's wrong with the Queen Mother? Is this medicine too bitter?"
The queen took a long breath, then shook her head and said: "It's not that the medicine is too bitter, it's that your heart is too bitter."
The spoon in Zhu Weizhen's hand fell gently, and his eyes changed accordingly.
"What did the queen say?"
The queen's eyes were red: "When I sent you out, I knew you were going to suffer. I just didn't expect those beasts to hurt you so deeply!"
Zhu Weizhen's eyes flickered, he was silent for a moment, then scooped up the soup again and fed it: "Let's not talk about the past."
"Weizhen, do you still hate me and your father in your heart..."
