Chapter Ninety-Three: The Bird in the Cage

  A master showdown can't be settled with just a few points, after a fierce battle, both of them were covered in bruises.

  Shuang'er thought it was not right, and also feared that the matter would escalate, so she said to Han Caiwei: "Miss, let's not let them continue fighting anymore? If they get hurt or if Prince Wang finds out, it won't be good!"

  Han Caiwei rolled her eyes: "Those two are both exceptionally skilled in martial arts, what's a little injury to them? They're not like us, they'll recover quickly!"

  On this side, the master and servant were talking, while on that side, one of them had already been beaten to the ground, unable to get up. Han Caiwei quickly took a closer look and found it was Qiu Hua. She thought it would be Xia Hua, but unexpectedly, Xia Hua's martial arts skills weren't bad despite her being talkative.

  Actually, Qiu Hua's injury wasn't that serious. As Han Caiwei said, people with exceptional martial arts skills sometimes can't control themselves to the point of just barely winning, and since Han Caiwei had to lose, Qiu Hua looked quite pathetic, but her injuries weren't severe.

  Han Caiwei hooked her finger, Xia Hua wiped her hair and walked over. Han Caiwei stood up and touched her cheek, hehe smiled: "Hmm, not bad, I thought it was Qiu Hua who won! Didn't expect your kung fu to be better than hers! Not bad, so I've decided that you'll take care of this matter!"

  Xia Hua was taken aback. She had won with great effort, but the result was still that she had to do things? With a bitter face, she said: "Master, why?"

  Han Caiwei smiled and pointed at Qiu Hua: "Because you beat her up so badly, how can she go out and see people? She's lost all her energy, how can she help me run errands? You've won and aren't hurt, so just help me with things! Hehe!"

  Xiaohua was on the verge of tears, but she knew that if she had been more diligent from the start, things wouldn't have turned out this way! However, after a moment's thought, she also understood that perhaps this master was just in a bad mood and wanted to tease them like this. She could see it clearly - although he wore a brilliant smile on his face, there was no joy in his eyes. Even Autumn Leaf, who was normally so calm, had been forced to put on such a showy display of effort, perhaps just to make the master happy. It wasn't as if Xiaohua couldn't do the same!

  After understanding, Xia Hua smiled with a pout: "Alright!"

  Han Caiwei smiled slightly and ran back to the house, putting the painting she had taken from the Han mansion back into the wooden box. The jade pendant was already put away, so now there was only one thing left in the box - the painting. Han Caiwei glanced at the painting on her bedhead, sighed softly, and finally put down the brush in her hand. She hugged the wooden box and went out to give it to Xia Hua, saying: "Xia Hua, go to the Shen mansion and personally deliver this to Shen Feibai, the eldest son of the Shen family. You don't have to go through the main gate, just make sure not to draw anyone's attention. You also don't need to say anything, just give it to him."

  He's such a clever person, he shouldn't not understand her meaning. At first, taking out the painting was just careless, this time going back, he should have understood her carelessness too! Xia Hua didn't know what was inside the wooden box, but hearing it was given to Shen family's eldest young master, she was filled with doubts, only she didn't dare to open it herself. Han Caiwei saw the hesitant look on her face and coldly said: "If you want to go tell Wang Ye, it doesn't matter, after all, it's just a painting."

  "Master, you're misunderstanding! How could I possibly tell the king?! I'll definitely deliver it to you, I'm going now, and no one will ever find out!"

  Han Caiwei nodded, and Xia Hua left. Shuang'er called a little maid to take Qiu Hua away to change her clothes. The courtyard was left with only Han Caiwei alone. The leaves were scattered all over the ground in the courtyard, and the previous scene of blooming flowers had long gone. The bleakness of autumn still came, and she stood there, although it was a beautiful morning light, but she felt a thread of melancholy spreading in her heart, and didn't know what she was melancholic about.

  "Miss, I've heard about what happened last night. Are you blaming Master Wang?"

  The sound of Shuang'er's voice came from beside him, low and gentle.

  Han Caiwei didn't look at her, still gazing at the lotus pond, and coldly said: "News spreads quickly! Did Qiu Hua tell you? The king treated me like that for his own reasons, I resent him and hate him for my own reasons too, Er Niang. Six years ago, I was abandoned here without a word, just like a bird locked in a cage; at that time, I had given up, thinking it was all the same wherever I went. Now, six years later, having a son has made me the target of everyone's criticism, being favored by the king and envied by his women, my thoughts have become more lively, but why do I still feel like a bird locked in a cage that can't fly out?"

  Shuang'er thought for a moment, pursed her lips and said: "Miss's words, I don't quite understand," Her mind was all on the sentence that Wang Ye had shown favor to Miss. "Miss, has the king expressed his feelings to you?" Since Bo Zhou Xing Nan.

  As soon as Shuang'er asked this, Han Caiwei remembered Li Xiuzhi's hints and suggestions over the past few days, plus what he said last night, was he revealing his heart? It can be considered. But the most important sentence he didn't say, that sentence is what Han Caiwei wants to hear, but he didn't say it.

  She couldn't help but think of a problem, if Li Xiuzhe lost his curiosity and interest in her, what should she do?

  And she was even more aware that Li Xiuzhe was so interested in her, only because she had the soul and behavior of a modern person, he thought it was novel and interesting, so he put a lot of effort into it. If one day when he found out that she was no different from other women, he would withdraw his interest, what would she do then?

  At this thought, Han Caiwei let out a deep sigh: "Shuang Er, I'd rather the Third Prince had never said anything to me at all."

  Han Caiwei was melancholy here, and the steward of the other courtyard came running over in a hurry: "Master! Master!"

  Han Caiwei slightly furrowed her brow: "What's going on? Why so flustered, something happened?"

  "The king went back to the palace after the morning court, and sent someone to tell him that he wouldn't be going to the other courtyard today. But the manager secretly told me that the emperor had issued a decree, saying that the eldest son would be adopted by the queen, and now General Ji is discussing this matter in the palace! Master, you'd better make up your mind quickly!"
