Chapter 51: Alright, I won't leave

  Han Caiwei felt that she had nothing to hide, so she spoke frankly: "Yes, the prince has indeed been good to me. If it were another woman, such as Princess Pangs or Princess Wang, perhaps they would have already been deeply grateful and devoted to the prince by now. But I am not them. I just can't understand why the prince is being so kind to me in every way. Is it because I am the mother of Xu Er that he has to be good to me?"

  Li Xiuzhen listened and curled up one corner of her lips, smiling faintly: "What you said is both right and wrong. You are Xuer's mother, it's only natural to treat you well, but since you've had a son with me, I thought you were someone who could accompany me for life, so treating you well is a matter of course. However, I never knew that you had so many thoughts, it seems that you have too much free time."

  Han Caiwei was taken aback, someone who could accompany him for a lifetime? She couldn't help but look up at him, his eyes were still deep and mysterious, but inside, it was clearly written that he was sincere, everything he said was true, he had no hidden emotions, what he did represented what he said.

  She stared at him in silence, her eyes changing color, seemingly very surprised by his answer. There was also a strange emotion flowing in the bottom of her eyes, which Li Xiuchen couldn't see through. However, he remembered another thing and slightly hooked his lips: "Letting you stay in the other courtyard every day is indeed suffocating. How about this? Every 15th, you can go out for a walk, just call Shuang'er to accompany you, so that you won't always be thinking wildly."

  Han Caiwei took a deep breath: "Your Highness isn't afraid that I'll go out for a stroll and then leave the mansion, never to return again?"

  Li Xiuxian smiled with narrowed eyes: "You won't be able to. Not to mention that you can't let go of Xu Er, but you also can't bear to see him separated from me! Moreover, if you leave, your Han family will likely suffer in your place, don't you know? The Emperor hates concubines who run away the most, if he finds out, he will definitely exterminate your entire Han family!"

  Han Caiwei knew he wasn't lying, and she let out a long sigh in her heart. Alright, she surrendered! Since that's the case, she decided to temporarily put aside her thoughts of escaping and could only wait and endure for now. This matter could only be planned for the long term, hmm, plan for the long term!

  "Alright, I won't leave," Han Caiwei said this and saw Li Xiuzhen let out a sigh of relief. At that moment, she was furious in her heart and said, "I won't leave, but if the prince wants to take Autumn Flower and Summer Flower away, I don't want them anymore. What good are slaves who eavesdrop on walls? The prince can bring them back and return them to Ji Zhaohui, I don't want them!"

  "Stop calling Zhaohui by her name, it's not respectful," Li Xiuzhen walked in front of her and gently tapped her forehead. "Actually, these two maids are given to you by me, but I borrowed Zhaohui's name for the sake of formality. I was just worried that Shuang'er alone wouldn't be enough to serve you, and Zhaohui also understands this point. Myself and her, we're all doing it for your own good."

  Han Caiwei didn't understand: "For my own good?" Leaving two maids here to monitor her was for her own good? What kind of logic is this?

  Li Xiuxian slightly hooked his lips, his fingertips touched her forehead, gently rubbed the spot that had been red from his previous touch, and then smiled at her: "As for Zhaoxi's thoughts, I don't think it's good for me to tell you, but she'll tell you herself eventually. These two maids are personally chosen by me, so just use them for now, who knows, maybe in the future, you'll like them."

  "Who would like a tattletale slave, huh——um——what are you doing?" Before she could even finish speaking, Li Xiuzhen gave her a peck on the forehead, and Han Caixia took several steps back, looking like a flushed and startled bird in Li Xiuzhen's eyes.

  Li Xiuzhen lifted the curtain and went out, leaving only one sentence: "I hope that after you hear Zhaohui's explanation, you will no longer have any thoughts of leaving this king. This king has finished speaking, this king is returning to the palace."
