Wei Li was clicked by her words, and her stiff face loosened slightly, but remained expressionless.
He then laughed heartily and said, "Your Highness, are you not kidding me?"
Zhu Weizhen said with a half-smile but not a smile: "You have never been a fun person, never."
Wei Li also smiled, but the smile at the corner of his mouth quickly disappeared.
Zhu Weizhen showed no mercy and immediately made it clear: "The fate between you and Xu Zhihuai has come to an end. From now on, she will stay in the palace peacefully, and you will continue to be your Marquis of Qingyi. Don't expect that you can still be like this." You do whatever you want like you did before, you don’t lack women, you don’t need women, so don’t compete with the prince for women anymore, it’s stupid and bad.”
Wei Li did not refute, only corrected: "Xu Zhihuai is just a chess piece and has nothing to do with the personal relationship between men and women."
Steal a woman?
There was no need for him to grab her. If he hooked his fingers, she would be scared to death.
No, she would pretend to be scared to death, plunge into his arms, and use all her strength.
For a moment, his thoughts followed Xu Zhihuai and drifted away again.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Weizhen was not polite: "Why did you put her on the chessboard? Xie Ningchao is dead, Xie Wuyou is no longer in the palace, and the palace should be clean and tidy. She is no longer your chess piece. She belongs completely to His Highness."
Wei Li's jaw was tense and his lines were sharp: "I cultivated people with my own hands."
"What else do you want? Isn't what she gave you in return enough?"
"What reward?"
Wei Li raised his eyebrows: "Promotion or promotion or gold, silver and jewelry?"
Zhu Weizhen smiled: "Are you rare for these things? Then I will reward you on behalf of the prince. How much do you want?"
Wei Li followed her words and said, "As much as you want."
Zhu Weizhen's eyes were heavy: "Wei Li, that's enough. When will you be able to recognize your own heart?"
"I am a heartless person."
"No, you are greedy for Xu Zhihuai."
Zhu Weizhen said eloquently: "In all the years you have been with the prince, you have never really coveted his things, so even if you occasionally make your own decisions and act recklessly, I will not punish you harshly. Because you have the prince in your heart, and you have Court, but now, there seems to be something in your heart that shouldn't be there."
Wei Li was alert and sensitive, frowning and saying, "Your Highness, are you going to interrogate me?"
"Can I judge you? You are now the most powerful official in the court and the right-hand man of the Crown Prince. I can't touch you, and I can't touch you."
Wei Li heard the warning in her words and shrugged: "Your Highness can even abandon the emperor, so who am I?"
If this is said to anyone, it would be a serious crime against the Nine Clan, but Wei Li will not die.
"I have always regarded you as my brother."
Zhu Weizhen deliberately stabbed him in the heart again.
Wei Li seemed to be expressionless, and his temper was already a little dissipated.
"How did the prince treat you after you entered the palace? He also regarded you as a brother and never treated you badly. But you broke his heart."
Wei Li remained silent.
He is not guilty, but is weighing and thinking.
"What is given to you is yours. What is not given to you can never be taken. This is what I told you when you first entered the palace. Do you still remember?"
Wei Li lowered his eyes and nodded: "I have never forgotten."
"That's good. Don't hurt our many years of trust and tacit understanding for Xu Zhihuai."
Wei Li was neither humble nor arrogant: "I will never betray His Highness."
Zhu Weizhen smiled faintly: "What a coincidence, the prince also told me the same thing, saying that you would never betray him. You should be grateful that he trusts you and tolerates you like this. If there was no prince, you would still be in Huaizhou On the river, people are struggling to make ends meet."
Wei Li was inexplicably excited and stood up.
He didn't speak, his eyes were deep and cold.
Zhu Weizhen saw his anger.
His anger is his origin, his humbleness.
Wei Li pondered for a long time before saying: "Your Highness, there is no need to mention this."
Zhu Weizhen was heartbroken and continued: "Wei Li, your biological mother is also a poor woman. Her sorrow at being sold around was no different from Xu Zhihuai's today. You have seen that child, and you are willing to harm her. Is it beyond redemption? Or do you want Xu Zhihuai and your biological mother to be banished from the palace and become a prostitute?"
Wei Li was completely annoyed. He gritted his teeth and said, "I know my origin clearly. Your Highness cannot do this to disgust me!"
Zhu Weizhen sneered: "It's not disgusting at all for a mother to raise her child at all costs."
Wei Li had nothing to say, he was only filled with rage.
"I'm exposing your scar today to warn you, and I hope you'll take care of yourself."
Wei Li's face was livid, turning red and purple with anger.
He left the palace in a hurry, whipping up his horse so fast that he wished he could strangle the powerful horse beneath him to death.
In the dark night, he was running alone on the deserted street, as if a dark soldier and a wild ghost were roaring away.
Early the next morning, Xu Zhihuai held An'er in his arms to greet the Queen.
She was sitting on the bedside, wearing a plain robe, yet still elegant and graceful.
After meeting An'er, her slightly haggard face became brighter.
"It's hard for you to give birth to this child after being outside for so long."
The queen still didn't like her very much, but for the sake of her children, she didn't bother to find fault with her.
Autumn is getting stronger, and it’s time to make new clothes.
Zhu Weizhen rewarded Xu Zhihuai with several pieces of clothing. The colors were bright and the texture was high quality. They were all first-class tributes.
Xu Zhihuai asked Mu Xiuwan to pick one as well. She shook her head repeatedly: "This is the princess's wish for my sister. It would be bad if I took it."
Xu Zhihuai said calmly: "It's not good if I take too much. I just received a set of pearls yesterday, and today it's silk and satin."
Mu Xiuwan knew that she was worried: "Sister, it's worth it. Just keep it if you give it."
After Xu Zhihuai ordered Jinhua to put it away, someone from outside reported: "The eldest princess has invited me, please come over and talk."
here we go again……
Zhu Weizhen has invited her frequently recently, which seems to be a good intention, but in fact he is knocking her down both inside and outside of his words. This feels really uncomfortable.
Mu Xiuwan sighed helplessly: "I won't go with my sister. I'll stay and look after An'er."
"Well, she is the most clingy when she takes a nap. Please spend more time with her."
"Hey, I got it."
Xu Zhihuai always felt heavy in his heart every time he stepped into Qianhua Palace.
Zhu Weizhen is gorgeously dressed and has exquisite makeup. The jadeite earrings are bright and eye-catching.
Xu Zhihuai couldn't help but praise: "Your Highness is so jeweled."
Zhu Weizhen smiled: "I don't think it's rare to dress up like this. I really spent a lot of effort today."
"Where are you going, Your Highness?"
"It's not me, we're going together. The carriage is ready, let's go."
This sudden invitation surprised Xu Zhihuai. She subconsciously declined, but Zhu Weizhen couldn't help laughing at her and said, "What are you thinking about? I don't have to dress up to kill. Let's go see Concubine Yue."
