Chapter 88: Ants on a Hot Pot

  Ah Fu smiled after hearing Li Xiuzhen's words: "Prince, just endure this period of time and it will be fine. Once the young master becomes the crown prince, Prince can stay as long as he wants, and no one will dare to bother you! If you can endure for a while, in the future, Prince and Madame Han will still have a lifetime together!"

  Li Xiuxian felt relieved and smiled: "Ah Fu, you're getting better at talking!"

  A Fu smiled and said: "What I said is all true."

  Li Xiuzhen suddenly remembered something and wiped away her smile: "Qiu Hua, after you returned, did you ask Shuang Er why she was injured?"

  "Replying to the king, I asked the slave and asked my sister Qiu Hua some things. Although she was reluctant to say anything, she told me everything that happened on the road."

  Li Xiuxian narrowed her eyes slightly: "Did she tell you about anyone she met on the road and what happened?"

  "Yes, I told some of it to the slave, but not in detail."

  Li Xiuzhen nodded: "It doesn't matter, just pick out the important points and tell them to me, I'll ask about the details myself."

  Qiu Hua responded with a sound, and then told Li Xiuzhen some of the situations she had asked Duo Er about. At first, he listened very interestedly, but slowly became expressionless.

  Li Xiuzhen and her maid were whispering to each other, while Han Caiwei slipped into Shuang'er's room, where she was also whispering with her maid.

  Since Li Xiuzhen moved to another courtyard, Shuang'er no longer rested in Han Caiwei's outer house. The outer house was converted into a living room, and a separate room was allocated to Shuang'er in the courtyard. Anyway, there were many rooms in the other courtyard, and Qiu Hua and Xia Hua each lived alone in their own rooms.

  Han Caiwei examined Shuang'er's injury, and after applying the bamboo leaf, it did indeed reduce some of the swelling. She then applied those medicinal creams, and after resting for a day or two, Shuang'er's injuries were no longer serious.

  "Miss, you're here! King Wang, didn't King Wang bully you?" Shuang'er was originally sleeping soundly, but Han Caiwei came over quietly and gently looked at her wound, unexpectedly waking her up. Shuang'er quickly sat up and asked.

  Han Caiwei smiled: "It's okay, it's all settled! The king won't blame me, and even less will he blame you, so rest assured and recover from your injuries!"

  Shuang'er felt slightly relieved. Settle down for a while.

  Han Caiwei got up and took a look outside the window, seeing no one coming over, she said in a low voice: "Shuang Er, Wang Ye will definitely come to ask you what kind of people we met on the road and what happened, don't say anything that shouldn't be said!" If she said something wrong, she might have to explain for half a day, who knows what would happen then!

  Shuang Er asked: "Why doesn't Master Wang ask Miss instead of asking me?"

  Han Caiwei pouted: "He doesn't believe me, he must think my words are true and false, hum! Ah, Shuang'er, you must not ruin me! You have to weigh what to say, if it's worth saying, say it, if not, don't say it!"

  Shuang'er pursed her lips, looking at Han Caiwei with a worried expression: "Miss, just now when Qiu Hua came to apply medicine for me, she asked me many questions, and I told her everything. If Qiu Hua tells the prince about it, what should we do?"

  Han Caiwei was shocked: "You said it all? You said everything? The part about inserting incense and joining the partnership, did you say that too? The part about removing the arm and removing the chin, did you say that too?"

  Darkness enveloped the south. Seeing Shuang'er nodding incessantly, Han Caiwei let out a long sigh, her mind buzzing with thoughts, she got up and paced back and forth in the room, anxious like an ant on a hot skillet, unsure of what to do!

  Shuang'er saw the situation and carefully pursed her lips, saying: "Miss, maybe the prince won't ask Qiu Hua, or even if he asks, Qiu Hua might not say anything. Miss doesn't need to be so anxious, just go call Qiu Hua in and ask her, then you'll know!"

  Han Caiwei frowned and said, "What won't you ask! From my understanding of him, he must have asked Qiuhua about it. You've already told Qiuhua, how could she possibly keep it from the prince? Those two are both people the prince has personally trained, they absolutely wouldn't hide anything from the prince! Oh dear, now you've really stirred up trouble. Are you going to go call Qiuhua in and ask her too? Good grief, I'd better just stay hidden here and not come out!"

  If Li Xiuzhen knew what she had done, who knows how she would react! She didn't want to go out and 'seek death' now! She could almost imagine Li Xiuzhen's angry face with puffed up cheeks and glaring eyes in her mind! She thought the safest way was to hide whenever possible and stay put whenever possible!

  Han Chaiwei made up her mind not to go out, so she stayed in Shuang'er's room all the time. Originally, she was already anxious and uneasy in her heart. If it weren't for Shuang'er saying a few comforting words beside her, she would have been almost frantic. Moreover, no one came to find her, so she still stayed in Shuang'er's room from dusk till nightfall.

  "Miss, it's late at night, aren't you going back yet?"

  Han Caiwei sighed: "Shuang'er, no one has come to see me for such a long time, the king must have known about these things and is angry, not allowing anyone to come and find me. You've really made things difficult for me! Otherwise, I'll squeeze in and sleep with you for a night?"

  No one came to look for her, isn't this just waiting for her to go back and surrender herself? She wouldn't be so stupid!

  "Miss, you can avoid tonight, but what about tomorrow? Are you going to hide from the prince forever and stay in my servant's quarters all the time?"

  Shuang Er's words caused Han Caiwei to fall into deep thought. Could she really avoid tonight, and could she still avoid tomorrow? She would have to face it eventually!

  Han Caiwei was thinking about this when the door was suddenly pushed open. She was startled, but after a closer look, she saw that it was Qiu Hua who had entered.

  Qiu Hua smiled at Han Caiwei: "Master, I knew you were here. It's late at night now, the king wants you to go back and rest."

  Han Caiwei blinked her eyes: "Qiuhua, go back and tell the king that I'll stay here to sleep with Shuang'er, okay?"

  Shuang'er was shocked and didn't wait for Qiuhua to respond, hastily saying: "Miss, what are you talking about! Where is the logic in a master sleeping with their servant? Shuang'er is fine, Miss doesn't need to accompany Shuang'er, Miss should quickly return, lest Master Wang gets angry!"

  Shuang Er said with a smile on her face while winking at Han Caiwei, her eyes clearly written with the four words "bravely facing everything".

  Qiu Hua pouted and looked at Han Caiwei: "Master, Shuang Er sister said it makes sense, Master will leave now, the king is waiting for you!"

  Han Caiwei sighed helplessly, took a step back, and returned to her own room. As soon as she lifted the curtain and entered, she saw Li Xiuzhen sitting properly on the edge of the bed in his undergarments, expressionless, staring at her.
