grew heavy, a chill permeated the air. The Crown Prince donned this cloak.Zhao Rui kindly put the cloak on Li Chen, then cast a curious glance at Zhao Ze You and asked, "Your Highness, what's the rea...Chapter 534: This King is a Man Too, Understand

Looking at the smiling Li Yinhu, Xu Wei's face blushed.

He stammered for a long time before saying, "Your Highness, I request permission to go out tonight."

"With such serious injuries, why are you still going out" Li Yinhu asked with a frown.

Xu Wei said awkwardly, "That Xiao Taohong from Yichun Courtyard... made an appointment with me to meet today... If I don't go, I'm afraid she'll be heartbroken."

Li Yinhu was taken aback upon hearing this, then burst into laughter and said, "I understand. I'm a man too, so I get it."

Since you like this woman, then spend some money to redeem her and keep her by your side. This King will have people make a small courtyard available for you both.

Xu Wei gratefully said, "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness!"

Seeing Xu Wei's grateful and thankful expression, Li Yinhu felt even more at ease.

Even if Xu Wei were truly a traitor, he wouldn't have proactively asked to leave at this crucial juncture.

As for that little Taohong, if the two truly have feelings for each other, staying in the Prince's Mansion could be a good way to balance out Xu Wei.

Li Yinhu, whose mind was now at ease after having thoroughly thought everything through, felt a sense of calmness.

At this point, Xu Wei spoke again, “Your Highness, were those assassins today truly members of the White Lotus Sect”

Li Yinhǔ's face immediately darkened upon hearing this, gritting his teeth and saying, "If it wasn't them, who else could it be Didn't you see how they tried to explain themselves during the confrontation before, as if they had something to hide"

"Just focus on your recovery. I'll have someone else handle this matter."

Xu Wei nodded calmly and said, "Understood."

At this moment, someone reported that Long Huaiyu had arrived.

Li Yinhu immediately got up and said, "Take good care of your wounds. Tonight, you are going to meet the woman you admire. Just go, take some silver with you. One hundred taels will do if it's not enough, tell the madam of Yichun Courtyard that someone will take you away first, and the王府will send someone to pay for your redemption."

Xu Wei felt a bit embarrassed but also immensely happy, he quickly replied, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your understanding."

Li Yinhu nodded and went out the door.

Coming to the door, Li Yinhu called someone over.

“Your captain of the guard is going to Yichun Courtyard tonight. This king fears his honest nature will lead him astray. You secretly follow him and see if he meets Xiaotaohong and whether he brings up the matter of redemption with the madam. Report back to this king afterwards, and make sure you don't alert Xu Wei, understand”

Li Yinhu was cunning. Even though his suspicions about Xu Wei had dissipated, he instinctively held back a trump card.

The man quickly nodded and said, "I understand."

Li Yinhu's secret meeting with Long Huaoyu is not mentioned for now.

In the evening, Xu Wei, whose injuries had slightly improved, struggled to get up. He went to collect a hundred taels of silver and then left the prince's mansion through the main gate as if nothing had happened.

In the darkness, a figure stealthily followed.

Xu Wei bought some rouge and powder for the woman on the way, then went straight to Yichun Courtyard. He went to Xiaotaohong's room familiarly, and soon there was the sound of laughter from a man and a woman inside.

The man who had been following Xu Wei leaned against the door and listened for a while. Hearing the two men talking about redemption, he couldn't help but spit.

"Damn it, you're all hurt like this and still come to play with women, aren't you afraid of dying in a woman's bed!"

The sound of laughter and chatter from the room drove him out.

His heart was on fire, so he took out his newly issued salary and, after finding a woman, slipped into her place to relieve himself.des, he has been loyal to the court, guarding the frontier flawlessly without any lapses or errors. He has kept the southwestern border of the empire safe from the harassment of tribal leaders. If you...
