At the moment when Xu Zhi's hand was held by Li Zhi, he instantly looked at Li Zhi in surprise, hesitated for a moment, and then broke free shyly, and the hand held by Li Zhi lowered his head with a blushing face.

Li Zhi looked at Xu Promise's shy appearance, and anxiously wanted to ask, when he heard footsteps outside the door.

Li Zhi turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw that at the door of the house, Xi Ting led four or five maids with food boxes in their hands, walked in respectfully, bowed to himself, turned around and walked towards the dining table.

"Brother Jiu, let's talk after eating!" Xu Yu lowered his head for a while, didn't hear Li Zhi's voice, looked up and saw Xi Ting, led the maids to salute them, and then looked at Xi Ting and the maids walked to the dining table, and said softly.

"Yes! All right! Li Zhi looked back at the promise, pursed his mouth helplessly, nodded slightly at the promise, and answered softly.

Xu Yu nodded to Li Zhi, got up slowly, followed Li Zhi, and walked towards the dining table.

Half a quarter of an hour later, after Xu Yu and Li Zhi had dinner, the two sat quietly on the Luohan bed, silently watching Xi Ting and the maids who cleaned up the table.

After a while, Li Zhi looked at Xiting leading the maids, gave a salute in front of him, then turned around and retreated, hurriedly turned to look at Xu Promise, and said in a low voice: "Nuo'er, whether you want to marry me or not, I can't send you back now." ”

"Brother Jiu, why?" Xu Yu lowered his head, his hands were wrapped around his handkerchief, listening to Li Zhi's words, he was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Li Zhi, and asked suspiciously.

"Because." Li Zhi said softly, then sighed lightly, and continued: "Because the prince's brother and second brother are both courting their uncle, if they appear now, I ask my father to marry you, I am afraid that they will be unfavorable to me." ”

"Then don't go to the emperor's uncle first, I'm afraid that if I don't go back, my aunt will let my father not let me go back." Xu Yu glanced at Li Zhi, then lowered his head and said softly.

"Nope." When Li Zhi heard the promise, he casually refused.

"Why? Do you want me to live with you for the rest of my life? Hearing Li Zhi's refusal, Xu Yu looked at Li Zhi in surprise and said with some anger.

"Oops! Noel, listen to me. I'll let you go back, but not now. Wait for me in a few days, and I will definitely send you back, and then I will go to the palace and ask my father for marriage. Li Zhi was a little angry when he heard the promise, and hurriedly explained.

"You send me back, I'll wait for you at home." Xu Yu lowered his head, played with the handkerchief in his hand, looked at Li Zhi or not, and said casually.

"It's okay to send you back, the Wang family's family affairs are gone, but I'm afraid that before I go to ask to marry you, your stepmother will talk about family affairs for you." Li Zhi glanced at the promise helplessly, then lowered his head and sighed and explained.

"Well, I'll just wait a few days! I'm afraid that Aunt Ru will let my father not want me!" Xu Yu squinted at Li Zhi, listened to Li Zhi's words, and said softly.

"Don't worry about this, I'll let people go to my uncle's house and tell them that you have contracted the cold, and when you get better, I'll send you back." Li Zhi smiled and said softly.

Li Zhi looked at Xu Promise and nodded, then the corners of his mouth curled slightly, got up happily, and walked towards the door of the house.

After a while, Li Zhi came to the door of the study, tilted his head slightly, and said softly to Pingwei behind him: "You go and call Steward Ma, I have something for him to do." ”

"Yes." Li Zhi heard the sound of Pingwei's answer coming from behind him, raised his hand and pushed open the door of the study, and walked in quickly.

After a while, Ping Wei led Butler Ma into the study, came to the Luohan bed, and respectfully saluted Li Zhi, who was sitting on the Luohan bed and playing chess.

"Your Highness, Steward Ma is here." Ping Weishi got up and replied softly.

"Your Highness." Li Zhi turned his head to look at Steward Ma, and saw that Steward Ma saluted him again, respectfully saluting.

"You prepare some gifts and go to your uncle's mansion, just say that the girl, I contracted the wind and cold yesterday, and I will go back in the house for a few days to recuperate." Li Zhi turned around and continued to pick up a chess piece, said softly, put the chess piece on the chessboard, raised his hand and pointed at the steward Ma and said, "No one else is allowed to know about this." If anyone else knows, they will go to Ai Lao to receive the punishment. ”

"Yes, the old slave knows." Steward Ma was about to get up and leave, but when he heard Li Zhi say again, he hurriedly bent down and listened respectfully, and after Li Zhi finished speaking, his heart trembled, and then he answered softly.

"Let's go down!" Li Zhi looked down at the chessboard, heard Steward Ma's response, and then bowed to Steward Ma, and said softly.

"Yes, the old slave has stepped back." Steward Ma saluted Li Zhi again, said softly, turned around and retreated.

"Your Highness, you are so thoughtful!" Ping Wei turned around and looked, Steward Ma walked out of the study, leaned over to Li Zhi, and said with a smile.

"Thoughtful? Where does this begin? Hearing this, Li Zhi raised his eyes and glanced at Ping Wei, and said suspiciously.

"Your Highness, look! If you send Miss Xu, ah! Now it should be the eldest grandson. If you were sending the eldest grandson back, the prince would know about it. If you are begging to marry her, everyone must think that you are courting Uncle Guo, and then the prince will definitely not be able to sit still, not to mention that he will rebel in advance, but he will definitely attack you. If he doesn't do it to you, presumably King Wei will also do it for you. Then the king of Wei sat down to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Ping Wei walked opposite Li Zhi, sat on the Luohan bed, and analyzed seriously.

"The profit of a fisherman?" After listening to Pingwei's analysis, Li Zhi muttered suspiciously.

"Yes! The king of Wei used a trick to let you compete with the prince sandpiper and the clam of course, and of course the king of Wei would benefit from the fisherman. Ping Wei explained casually.

"Sandpiper and clam compete, fisherman profit!" Li Zhi muttered in his mouth, then looked up at Ping Wei with a sudden realization, and said in surprise: "That's right! How I didn't think of that. Ha ha! It seems that there is still a lot of knowledge! ”

"Your Highness, are you praising me?" Ping didn't hear Li Zhi's words, lay on the table with both hands, leaned towards Li Zhi, and asked with a smile.

"Huh! You're really my kobold! Ha ha! Li Zhi raised his eyes and glanced at Ping Wei, and smiled casually.

"Your Highness, your words don't look like boasting." Ping Wei glanced at Li Zhi helplessly, quickly stood up, and said boringly.

"Someone." Li Zhi glanced at Ping Wei, chuckled, and then got up and walked to the desk, shouting at the door.

"Your Highness." Li Zhi was standing in front of the desk, fiddling with pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and when he heard the sound, he looked up and saw Wei Yi standing in front of the desk, saluting himself.

"Get up! You go to the Wei Wangfu to check the officials who have dealings with him, and then record them and sneak into the East Palace. After Li Zhi finished speaking to Wei Yi, he turned around and walked out, stretched out his hand to pull up his sleeves, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and wrote on the paved paper.

After a while, Li Zhi took the paper full of words, gently blew the ink, and saw that the ink on the paper was dry, so he folded it and put it in the envelope, and then dripped it on the opening with wax oil, and waited for the wax oil to condense, then reached out and handed it to Ping Wei, and said solemnly: "You go and send this letter to someone to the hands of Li You, the king of Qi." ”

"Your Highness, don't you want the crown prince to fight with the King of Wei? How to write a letter to King Qi, he is good friends with the crown prince, you may not be able to win him over. Ping Wei took the envelope and asked suspiciously.

"Huh! You don't know! Who said I was co-opting him. If you want the snipe and clam to compete, you must release the water in the lake and expose the mussel in order to attract the snipe and we can make the profit of the fisherman! Li Zhi looked at Ping Wei's puzzled look and explained with a smile.

"Your Highness, how can the King of Qi lead the crown prince and the king of Wei to fight?" Ping Wei asked suspiciously.

"Huh! This is in this letter I wrote, you go find someone to send it, remember! Don't let people know who you are. Li Zhi said with a smile on his face, and instantly emphasized seriously: "You go to find Wei Wu and let Wei Wu follow." Let him sneak into King Qi's side, and send a letter to tell me at any time about King Qi's movements. ”

"Yes." Li Zhi looked at Ping Wei and saluted himself, turned around and walked out of the study quickly, and walked slowly to the side of Luohan's bed, slowly sat on Luohan's bed, picked up the chess pieces in front of him, and played an unfinished chess game, while waiting for Weiyi's news.

A quarter of an hour later, Ping Wei walked into the study quickly, respectfully saluted Li Zhi, and said a little breathlessly: "Your Highness, the matter is done, Steward Ma is waiting outside the door!" ”

"Yes! Let him in! Li Zhi, who was playing chess, looked up at Ping Wei and said softly.

"Your Highness, what you asked the old slave to do, the old slave has already done it. Uncle Guo said, let Your Highness, the sooner you send the girl home, the better. Steward Ma walked up to Li Zhi and said respectfully.

"Got it, let's go down!" After listening to Steward Ma's words, Li Zhi said casually.

Steward Ma gave Li Zhi a salute, walked lightly to the door of the study, and was passing by Wei Yi who walked in, Steward Ma looked sideways, glanced at Wei Yi, and then walked out of the study.

Wei Yi walked quickly to Li Zhi and saluted Li Zhi: "Your Highness, please forgive your subordinates for their ineffective work." ”

"What's wrong?" When Li Zhi heard this, he looked at Wei Yi in panic and asked anxiously.

"Your Highness, your subordinates have not found out about the officials who have come and gone with King Wei." Wei Yi bent over, still saluting, and replied respectfully.

"Huh! This smart man is smart! The second brother has been smart and clever since he was a child, if you find it, I may still doubt it! It's okay, you go down! Li Zhi chuckled, then bowed to Wei Yi and said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Highness." Wei Yi respectfully saluted Li Zhi again, turned around and walked out of the study quickly.

"Your Highness, what now?" Ping Wei looked at Li Zhi, who picked up the chess pieces again, and asked anxiously.

"You go find someone." Li Zhi put the chess pieces he had just picked up on the chessboard, still looking down at the chessboard, and said softly.

Li Zhi said, then looked up at Ping Wei, and said, "You go to find Fan Ziming, just tell him that I will ask him to see him." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Ping Wei gave Li Zhi a salute and then said.

Li Zhi looked at Ping Wei, who got up, nodded slightly, and then watched Ping Wei walk out quickly.
