Chapter 50: Planted in Ji Zhaohui's hands

  Han Caiwei listened and bit her lip, looking down. He thought of ways to make her happy, so in return, she should also do something to make him happy, right?

  "Whatever the king wants to hear, I can say whatever he wants. As long as the king is happy, within my tolerance, I can do it." She didn't know how to please a man, maybe she used to, but she didn't want to think about the past anymore. Nowadays, she wouldn't serve or try to please, and couldn't see through the thoughts of the man in front of her. The only thing she could probably do was listen obediently?

  She had no idea that at the moment she heard him say he was troubled, her heart's softness opened up for him.

  Li Xiuzhen didn't look at her again, and said lightly: "This king is annoyed, not for anyone else, but because of you." He paused for a moment, then continued: "Why did you want to leave? Is it just because of what this king said yesterday? This king has said that if you are unwilling, this king will not force you."

  Han Caiwei was shocked: "How did the king know?" Suddenly, she thought of Shuang'er's expression when she left, and her heart cooled down. "Did Shuang'er tell the king?"

  She knew that Shuang'er had gone to the Wang Fu all day today and there must be a problem, it seemed that Li Xiuzhi was here to ask for an explanation. Her mind began to turn over countless thoughts and countermeasures, and almost before Li Xiuzhi even opened his mouth, she was already thinking of ways to respond.

  Li Xiufeng frowned at her: "It wasn't your maid who said it, but rather Zhaoxi told this king. However, your maid also personally admitted to it. ——Han Caiwei, did you think that by staying by this king's side, you could escape?"

  Han Caiwei lowered her eyes and remained silent for a while before raising them again, looking at Li Xiuzhen's eyes with a hint of coldness: "Your Highness, I want to know what this is all about."

  It's impossible for Shuang'er to leak the secret, so if Ji Zhaoxi knows about it, it can only be that Xiaohua and Qiuhua eavesdropped on their conversation and reported a few words to Ji Zhaoxi. Who would have thought that the news would spread like this overnight? If things are really as she suspected, those two maids might not be able to stay here any longer.

  Li Xiuzhen called in Shuang'er and ordered her to tell Han Caiwei about today's events. Shuang'er hesitated for a moment before telling everything. Han Caiwei listened silently for a while, and indeed, things were just as she had thought. Despite all the precautions, she still fell into Ji Zhaohui's hands.

  Last night's words were indeed heard by Xia Huaqiu, who went to tell Ji Zhaoxi in the middle of the night. So early this morning, Shuang'er was summoned to the Wangfu, all because of this matter. After learning about it, Ji Zhaoxi went to find Li Xiuzhen and had Shuang'er explain everything clearly to him, which is why Li Xiuzhen has come now.

  After Han Caiwei figured out the whole thing, she couldn't help but deeply resent Ji Zhaoxi. Her tone also cooled down a lot: "Since Wangye already knows, I suppose you're here to interrogate and punish me? Is Wangye troubled by how to punish me?" She smiled slightly coldly, "Actually, there's no need to be so troubled, I've already thought it through for Wangye. Just divorce me and have Xu'er inherit the title from Ji Zhaoxi, wouldn't that solve everything?"

  Li Xiuzhen pursed her lips, slightly furrowed her brow, and then sighed: "Even so, with your abilities, you'll still take Xu'er away after you leave, won't you? Do you think I don't know anything? Since I've married you, I never thought of divorcing you. What bothers me is why you won't stay by my side honestly. I asked your maid, but she refused to say a word. Can you tell me?"

  Han Caiwei looked at Shuang'er, saw that her eyes were welling up with tears, and let out a soft sigh. She couldn't blame her anymore, so she waved her hand to let Shuang'er go rest. Then, Han Caiwei took a sip of tea before looking directly at Li Xiuzhi and saying: "Your Highness, since you asked this way, I don't have anything good to hide either. What I want is something that Your Highness can't give me in this lifetime. If I don't leave, I'm afraid that later on I'll be too greedy, and Your Highness will still end up sending me away. At that time, it won't be good for anyone."

  Her words were ambiguous, but Li Xiuzhen was not the kind of person who couldn't see through her thoughts. Connecting the past and present, he suddenly realized, his brow relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on his lips: "These days I have treated you well, are you afraid that you will fall in love with me and won't be able to extricate yourself later?"
