Chapter 871 Aren’t you jealous?

Zhao Xiwei had expected that he would say this, and smiled slightly: "In that case, you go back first, and I will think about it slowly."

Frustration suddenly appeared on the jailer's face. He opened his mouth, but before he could say anything else, Zhao Xiwei waved his hand: "This matter cannot be rushed. Since I said I would help you, I won't break my promise. Just wait for the opportunity!"

The jailer hesitated to say anything and walked away.

Zhao Xiwei was in a good mood.

She pinched the remaining small pieces of broken silver and narrowed her eyes.

The shrimp was hooked and the fish was coming soon. She just had to keep her breath.

The next day, it was the jailer who delivered the meal again. This day he brought her an extra portion of rice and a stack of scrambled eggs. Even the title was changed: "Miss Zhao, I got this from the public kitchen. You can make do with it." Eat it!”

Zhao Xiwei took out a piece of broken silver and gave it to him as usual, eating it slowly while chatting and laughing with him.

This jailer is indeed sincere, and Zhao Xiwei has calculated it well. After a few rounds, he has been submissive.

Zhao Xiwei felt reassured, but did not ask him.

The best way to do things without leaving any trace is to let the other party ask for it first.

On the third day, the jailer came again to deliver food, this time with an extra portion of chicken. He opened the food box himself, placed the chicken in front of Zhao Xiwei, and said flatteringly: "My mother-in-law made this with her own hands, and asked me to bring it to the girl to eat!"

Zhao Xiwei knew that the opportunity had finally come.

She looked at the chicken that was crispy on the outside, tender on the outside, and full of flavor and flavor, with a serious look on her face: "No merit, no reward, no favors to you, how can I accept your wife's kindness?"

The jailer had already been hung up and down, and he said with an "ouch": "Auntie, have you forgotten?"

Zhao Xiwei said "ah" and was confused: "What's the matter?"

"Hi..." the jailer lowered his voice, "You said that day that you would help me find a good job, but do you really mean it?"

"Of course!" Zhao Xiwei picked up the chopsticks and knocked on the bowl. The jailer immediately understood and poured the prepared hot water for her, "But..."

She held up the tea and raised her brows slightly, "I'm trapped here now and can't get out. Let's wait until I get out!"

"Ah?" The jailer looked worried, waiting for her to go out? Who knows if she can still get out?

Zhao Xi smiled slightly and added: "It's not like there's nothing we can do."

The jailer looked happy: "What method? You tell me!"

Zhao Xiwei said: "I have some friendship with He Liangdi. You go find her and ask her to come. By the way, for the sake of your job, you cannot let a third person know about this. You should understand, right?"

"The villain understands!"

On the night of the third day, Zhao Xiwei waited for the person he was waiting for.

He Manzhi is here.

This was completely within Zhao Xiwei's expectation.

Although she had forgotten what happened in the East Palace, Miss Gu's face did not escape her eyes when He Manzhi was conferred the title of Liangdi by the prince himself three days ago.

This is hostility from one woman to another.

When He Manzhi came in, he was extra careful, wearing a blue cloak that had been washed and worn, with most of his face hidden in the hat. He waited until everyone had left, then took off the cloak, revealing half of his red and swollen face. .

Zhao Xiwei was stunned.

There was a slap mark on this face. It suddenly became clear. It seemed that the jealous war in the inner courtyard of the East Palace was not as fierce as usual...

He Manzhi was very embarrassed. He touched his cheek with his hand and lowered his eyelashes: "This matter... speaking of it..."

Zhao Xiwei took her cloak, put it on the bedside, and smiled slightly: "You sit down first."

She walked to the window, took off a paper bag, opened it, and handed it to He Manzhi, who found a few small candies: "I can't compare to other places here. I don't have hot tea to entertain you, I only have this little kindness."

This was a trick from the jailer.

Zhao Xiwei said that she had a stomachache and wanted to eat something sweet. The solid-eyed jailer was still looking forward to a good job and immediately bought a pack of halva from outside.

He Manzhi almost burst into tears as soon as the bird's nest became hot: "Thank you sister..." She almost choked while holding the candy in both hands.

Zhao Xiwei was a little confused, but she didn't ask any more questions. She had forgotten everything now. For her, no one could be completely trusted. She couldn't easily confess to anyone before she regained the victory.

She quietly peeled off a candy and handed it to He Manzhi's mouth: "Try it, it's quite delicious."

He Manzhi's tears finally fell violently: "Sister Wei!"

Zhao Xiwei was really shocked: "It's fine, what's wrong?" She raised her hand to wipe He Manzhi's tears, but when she saw the coarse prison clothes she was wearing, she took it out of He Manzhi's arms. He handed the handkerchief over, "What grievances have you suffered?"

With a thought in her heart, she recalled the prince's expression three days ago and asked, "But did the prince make you feel uncomfortable?"

"No, no, no." He Manzhi wiped away his tears, his eyes were red, and he shook his head repeatedly: "The prince... he didn't make me suffer." He glanced at Zhao Xiwei and hesitated, "But... But……"

Zhao Xiwei was even more surprised: "That's good, but what?"

"Sister..." He Manzhi was a little embarrassed, half-hanging his head, and said in a muffled voice: "He didn't make me suffer...but...he didn't care about me either..."

"I didn't care about you? Wouldn't that be better?" Zhao Xiwei only regarded her as a young girl who had just begun to fall in love. He took the handkerchief from her hand, wiped away her tears, and comforted her, "You treat her as his good wife, stay here." In the East Palace, good food and good drinks are the best. What do you want him to do with you?"

He Manzhi raised his head in disbelief: "Sister Wei, aren't you jealous? Aren't you sad?"

Zhao Xiwei looked confused: "Jealous? Why are you jealous? Why are you sad?"

"You were so loving before, His Highness doted on you so much, and now he..." He Manzhi looked at Zhao Xiwei carefully, trying to find a trace of disguise, but he couldn't find it. The person in front of him really didn't feel a little disappointed or angry.

But she didn't know that Zhao Xiwei had completely forgotten this period of time, and couldn't feel any love and hate between men and women. He just shook his head and advised: "You don't have to think so much, since he personally chose you to be a good husband." Di, just accept it openly and don't let irrelevant things affect you. As for His Highness the Crown Prince, if he treats you well, just go ahead. If he treats you badly, don't take it to heart. Why should you care about him? And you."

"That's not the case..." He Manzhi shook his head, looking at the hem of his skirt with a somewhat hollow look, "He doesn't like me at all. I know that he still has you in his heart."

Zhao Xiwei just thought he was talking in his sleep: "Is there me? I am a prisoner..." couldn't help but laugh, "It's really ridiculous."

"Sister, what I said is true!" He Manzhi suddenly became excited and grabbed her hand, "He deliberately made you angry. He chose me as Liangdi just to be angry with you. You don't know , before that, he gave my father a good scolding for this matter, saying that the king is the source of water and the minister is the flow of water. He has his own ambitions..."

He Manzhi recalled, a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes, "As soon as he heard about you, he became angry, asked me to come with him, and even announced that I was Liangdi in public. This is all to make you angry."

Zhao Xiwei didn't believe a word of it. The prince she saw in her eyes was moody, cold and ruthless. Even though there was something wrong with his words to her, it was just because he had been entangled in the past and had complicated emotions!

Then he waved his hand and said: "Since he has chosen you, you can just follow him peacefully. Don't think about things because of me. You have to understand that the prince is not what you think. This person has a mature personality and kills Fa Jue is definitely not the kind of person who loves his children! "
