The "foot-washing maid" was brought back to the palace by Zhao Rui.
Zhao Rui's move was not simply to tease Wei Zhen. He was considering Wei Zhen's safety. Wei Ju was in such danger. If she went back this time, wouldn't she be walking into a tiger's mouth?
Their rescue efforts were in vain.
And who is inside this shell now... If it is accidentally exposed, he will be executed for being a demon.
Zhao Rui first wrote a letter to inform Grand Tutor Wei of what happened tonight. He also said that Wei Zhen himself was frightened and his memory was a little vague. He asked his concubine Tian to take good care of him. After Grand Tutor Wei dealt with Wei Ju's matter, he would send Wei Zhen back.
To the outside world, it was only said that Wei Zhen and Tian hit it off from the first sight and were reluctant to part.
Grand Tutor Wei has always admired Zhao Rui, knows his character, and knows that he truly treats Wei Zhen as his own sister. After something like this happened, it is understandable that Zhao Rui is worried about the Wei Mansion.
This bastard Wei Ju is really a bastard!
If something really happened to Wei Zhen, how would the Wei family explain to His Majesty, the Queen, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan?
Grand Tutor Wei was furious and beat Wei Ju up, then sent him to the military camp.
While Grand Tutor Wei was dealing with his own problems, the Prince of Wei's Mansion was bustling with activity.
That night, Zhao Rui actually asked the future Crown Princess to wash his feet, thus opening the prelude to a generation of emperors washing the Queen's feet to atone for their sins...
赵睿从未见过魏祯这般的女子，性情古怪，离经叛道，缺德毒舌还爱给人起外号……要不碍着她的身份，他恐怕早揍她了。
Wei Zhen saw Zhao Rui's favorite concubine, Tian, whistling, dragging her to the bath and groping her, and even teaching her how to fight in the house and compete for favor. Zhao Rui heard Wei Zhen instigating Tian more than once, "As long as the prince can't have children, the prince can only be your Heng'er..."
"If you don't think about the future, you will have immediate worries..."
Zhao Rui's eldest son, Zhao Heng (Xian Wang), was mediocre in talent and usually dull. She looked at him and said, "In ancient times, people gave birth to children early, and they gave birth to fools..."
Seeing Shangguan Shifan competing in martial arts, and seeing that they tied in ten matches, she gave him one, "Fifty-fifty, Captain Chu, this is..."
Wei Zhen gave the highest evaluation to Zhao Rui himself, saying that he was a blooming rhododendron in the Great Chu, pure on the surface but full of charm.
Because Zhao Rui often hung out with Shangguan Shifan, Wei Zhen gave their combination a nickname, the Benbo Baba Boben combination.
Let me put it this way, every fly that passes by her will be bitten, and people will say that it doesn't wash its hands before eating.
Wei Zhen was not a fool either. After she had accidentally turned the Prince of Wei's Mansion upside down and frequently uttered bad words, and before she was beaten, she vaguely felt that she might not be a foot-washing maid.
She went to inquire, but the entire palace was silenced by Zhao Rui, and the look in Zhao Rui's eyes when he looked at her became more and more strange... After thinking it over, Wei Zhen crawled through a dog hole and escaped from the Prince of Wei's Palace.
As luck would have it, she happened to meet Prince Yan, who blamed her for not coming to play with him recently. Wei Zhen then knew her identity. Wow, the future Crown Princess. Wei Zhen instantly forgot about Zhao Rui and followed Prince Yan to the place of entertainment he mentioned.
When we got there, we realized it was the Colosseum.
The powerful sat on the high platform, overlooking the untouchables and ferocious beasts fighting each other in the field.
Prince Yan's strange and bright gaze became Wei Zhen's nightmare.
Wei Zhen returned to the Wei Mansion and couldn't sleep for a long time.
She wasn't the only one who couldn't sleep, Zhao Rui was there too.
After Wei Zhen left, he subconsciously sent people to look for her. Knowing that she had been taken away by Prince Yan, he was about to go and ask for her back, but was stopped by Shangguan Shifan, who told him meaningfully that she was originally Prince Yan's woman.
Oh, yes.
It was sleepless late at night. At this hour, he should have been holding his sweet and soft beauty, but he was sitting in the study, drinking wine dejectedly. Reason told him that she was just a guest. Because of her presence, he had no time to be intimate with his most beloved concubine. It was better for her to leave so that he could have some peace and quiet.
Zhao Rui's mood calmed down, but at this moment, Wei Zhen came to him, looked at him deeply, and told him that she did not want to marry Prince Yan, nor did she want Prince Yan to ascend the throne as emperor. If such a cruel emperor who treated the common people as straw dogs came to power, it would be a catastrophe for the whole world.
If he dares to kill one person today, he will dare to massacre an entire city tomorrow!
When a person dies, he is truly dead.
She said that she could either live in disgrace or watch innocent people die, but she wanted to give it a try before anything happened.
Wei Zhen’s words were very clear.
Zhao Rui also understood, and at that moment, he wanted to blurt out the promise, but he was Zhao Rui after all, the cautious Zhao Rui who had suffered torture and humiliation since childhood. If he lost in such a risky matter, his entire Wei Wang Mansion would be confiscated and he would be executed.
It's not that he didn't have ambitions to ascend the throne; how could a prince be content with mediocrity? It's just that the Empress's lineage was powerful, and His Majesty favored him. He only had the support of Shangguan Shifan, a somewhat unreliable figure, and General Qin, a loyal general... He had long since calculated that his chances of success were slim.
He is a cautious man and never takes risks.
He had crawled out of hell and dared not look into the abyss again.
However, he still asked, "You want me to risk my property being confiscated. What bargaining chips can you give me?"
There was silence for a moment, and then he heard the rustling sound of a dress. He turned his head and was startled to death the next second.
Wei Zhen didn't shy away, staring directly into his eyes, which made him, a man, feel embarrassed. He was annoyed when he heard Wei Zhen say, "I am the Crown Princess, but the Crown Prince hasn't been appointed yet. Whoever is the Crown Prince, I am his woman. Zhao Rui, do you understand?"
How could Zhao Rui not understand?
Become the crown prince and you can get her!
Zhao Rui's blood was boiling and his heart was getting agitated. Suddenly, a voice sounded, like a pour of cold water over his head, forcing him to calm down.
