Chapter 42: Does Shenma Have Spiritual Connection?

  Li Xiuxian didn't notice, heard

  Han Caiwei pulled her hand back from his, rubbed her wrist, and didn't mind the wound at all. She looked at Li Xiuzhi and said, "As I said, it was because of Prince Wang that things ended up like this, otherwise how could it have split open?" She knew that Li Xiuzhi would never admit to being in the wrong, so she smiled and said, "However, since Prince Wang treated me to so many pastries, I won't hold it against him. After all, it's just a small injury, no big deal!"

  Li Xiuzhen listened to her words, narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at her, and suddenly took a step closer, Han Caixia couldn't help but retreat step by step. Seeing the deep and unfathomable glint in his eyes, she didn't know what was wrong with him. She retreated several steps until her back hit the wall, and there was truly no room for retreat. Li Xiuzhen continued to close in on her, until their noses were almost touching, Han Caixia could even see the small reflection of herself in his eyes. Only then did Li Xiuzhen stop, a sly smile spreading across his face as he looked at her.

  "You're not going to settle accounts with me? Well, I'm going to settle accounts with you!"

  Han Caiwei glanced at his eyes, couldn't see through them, and was easily captivated by him, so she resolutely looked away: "The prince is a great man, with a broad mind, of course he won't bother to argue with me, a mere woman!"

  Li Xiuxian hooked her lips, stretched out her hand to turn her face over, and asked her to look at herself: "Oh? Is that so? You said it with such confidence, why don't you dare to look straight at Ben Wang and say it?"

  Han Caiwei hummed in her heart and stared straight at him, saying: "Your Highness, you can't make things difficult for me!"

  He smiled lightly and narrowed his eyes, saying: "What's difficult? It's obviously you who are making things difficult for me. You're my concubine, the birth mother of my eldest son, yet you live outside every day, occasionally coming back to stir up trouble in the manor. Do you know what rumors are circulating about our three princes' manors?"

  Han Caiwei didn't know what kind of tricks he was playing, and she couldn't fathom his thoughts either. She could only take a broad view: "The Third Prince is wise and intelligent, naturally knowing how to dispel those rumors. Besides, I'm just a humble concubine, I won't affect the reputation of the Third Prince's mansion!"

  Li Xiuxian chuckled and raised an eyebrow, looking at her: "You're quite eloquent! You've pushed everything onto me, but I really don't care about these things. Rumors will be handled by others, so I don't need to bother. We haven't seen each other in years, yet you still understand my heart so well - isn't that a spiritual connection?"

  Han Caiwei was shocked. How did he know what she was thinking? This was too dangerous, she hastily waved her hand and said: "No, no, no! Your Highness misunderstood me! I—"

  Before she could finish speaking, Li Xiuzhe grabbed her two hands and pressed them against the wall behind her head, not allowing her to move again. His actions were strong and forceful, yet gentle, so that she didn't feel any pain but couldn't struggle free either.

  "Did I misunderstand?" Li Xiuzhen's lips were almost stuck to her face, his oppressive gaze gave her a kind of invisible pressure. "If I misunderstood, then you'd better tell me clearly, who is it that you have a spiritual connection with?"
