Chapter 132: Just Relax

  The two of them walked a few steps, and although he was still holding Han Caiwei's hand, he didn't know that she had furrowed her brow in thought, so he raised an eyebrow and said: "Still thinking about what happened just now?"

  Han Caiwei shook her head: "It's not that, I just can't understand why you and the Fifth Prince are both children of Princess Ying, yet you're so different. And with your noble status, why are you also so... single-minded? It's hard for me to comprehend."

  Someone with a noble status like Li Xiuchun, if placed in modern times, would have had multiple partners outside of marriage, let alone in ancient times when having three wives and four concubines was legalized. It's extremely rare to see someone who is faithful. Han Caixia has always wanted to ask this question, and finally asked it today.

  After hearing this, Li Xiuzhen smiled slightly and looked at her before saying: "I knew you'd ask. Actually, I didn't intentionally do so; it's just that in the past, I saw how much Father Emperor liked Mother Empress, and they were often together, creating a harmonious and beautiful scene that left a deep impression on me. The smile of Father Emperor and the joy of Mother Empress - I could see them all the time. Unfortunately, Father Emperor is the emperor, he can't always be with Mother Empress; he has other consorts and state affairs to attend to. Even if they truly loved each other, it wouldn't be considered a lifelong companionship. I was raised by Mother Empress's side, and she is a sensitive and delicate Jiangnan woman; her feelings are very subtle. Whenever I accompanied Mother Empress, she would sometimes talk about her heart's desires, regardless of whether I understood or not, especially when we were looking at flowers together. As I grew older, she stopped talking, but I remembered everything she said. Looking back now, I think she must have been lonely; she thought I was just a child who wouldn't understand, but I actually remembered all her words. She always said that the deepest desire of a woman is to find someone who will love and cherish her forever, never leaving her side. Influenced by what I heard, my thoughts naturally became like hers as well. As for Fifth Brother, he's just too young and doesn't understand yet."

  Li Xiuzhen rarely spoke so much, and as he spoke, he thought of the things that had happened back then. Those memories he hadn't touched in a long time, now thinking about them, his heart felt very warm.

  Han Caiwei listened, and for a long time didn't speak, pursed her lips and looked at him for a while, suddenly stopped, and under his astonished gaze, took the initiative to kiss the corner of his mouth, smiled and said: "I heard it and my heart is very happy. This is a reward for you!"

  She originally thought that she would never meet a man who loved her wholeheartedly for the rest of her life, and she was afraid to avoid it, so she simply didn't mention love anymore. But unexpectedly, she found her love here. This time, since they have acknowledged their love for each other, they should go on well together. Since they have confirmed their feelings, they shouldn't let go easily again.

  He was enjoying her initiative, and with a faint smile, he quickened his pace, pulling her along: "Let's hurry up and see Zhao Xi, then we can head back to sleep soon, I'm getting sleepy!"

  She must be tired after a long day, and I don't want her to be exhausted, especially since she has to go to the rehearsal hall tomorrow, so I told her to hurry up.

  Ji Zhaohui was already able to get out of 'bed', seeing two people holding hands coming in, her gaze paused for a moment on the hands they were holding, and she smiled with a slight ripple: "Congratulations to Wang Ye, you finally got the beauty."

  Li Xiuxian smiled faintly: "She said she wanted to come and take a look at you. I, the king, think your 'color' is still good."

  Ji Zhaohui also smiled slightly: "Thank you, Prince Wang and Sister Han, for remembering me. I think it's much better at night now, and I must thank Sister Han's 'medicine' too. It's already late at night, and I'm really sorry to trouble Sister Han and Prince Wang to come all the way here in person. You should go back and rest instead! Prince Wang has a busy schedule with court affairs tomorrow and still needs to attend the morning court session."

  After seeing Ji Zhaoxi, the two of them can be considered relieved. After hearing this, they went back together. As soon as the two of them left, Ji Zhaoxi's expression finally showed signs of fatigue. Chunhua looked at him with concern: "Master is obviously not feeling well, why didn't you tell Wangye? Madame Han comes to visit Master every day, it seems that she has Master in her heart, why don't you let her take a look?"

  "Huang Ming, this... Ji Zhaoxi let out a soft sigh: "Why bother letting the king know and worry? Let's just take care of ourselves for now. By the way, in the future, when she sends over 'medicine', we'll still pour it into the flower pot, don't let anyone see it. The women in this mansion are all not simple, aren't they? Take the example of Pang Shi from back then... Although I won't have any more children, I still can't just lose my life here in the palace without a clear reason, right? Cough cough..."

  Ji Zhaohui coughed, and 'Spring' Hua hastily said: "Master is tired, why not go to bed and rest? I know my place, those things have all been taken care of for the king, but I don't understand, Master thinks so much for the king, why not tell him directly? If the king finds out and blames Master for being too meddlesome, what then?"

  "Chun" Hua Fu has been serving "Season" Zhao Xi for many years, and their relationship is as close as that of Fucha and Meng. Naturally, he understands her thoughts and feelings, and his words are straightforward.

  Ji Zhaohui lay on the 'bed', gazing at the dim candlelight swaying on the table, and let out a soft sigh: "How can I tell this to Wang Ye? Although I couldn't see through Wang Ye's mind, even if I said it, he would think I'm being too nosy. It's better not to say anything. After all, when things are done, he will benefit the most. In the future, when he becomes the Emperor and I become the Empress, I will be the woman who brings him the greatest glory. At that time, when he rules the world, how can he still blame me for being nosy?"

  "Chun" Hua thought for a moment and felt the same way: "General Ji sent someone to convey that the Crown Prince has been increasingly disliked by the Emperor lately, and even on a daily basis, he only sees him when asking for peace, and even small things like what to eat every day, if it's not in line with the Emperor's intentions, he will be scolded. So General said that the Crown Prince's days are probably coming to an end soon. He also said that after things happen, let the master rest assured, General will contact the officials on this side, as long as the master is prepared in his heart."

  Ji Zhaohui nodded slightly after listening, then frowned and whispered: "Let father be careful, this is a big deal, it's absolutely not allowed to show any signs."

  "Spring" Hua smiled lightly: "Master, rest assured, General's usual image has long been deceiving everyone, and won't arouse anyone's suspicion. --- It's late at night, I won't disturb Master anymore, Master just sleep peacefully!"

  "Okay."
