Looking at the smiling Li Yinhu, Xu Wei showed a hint of shame on his face.
He hesitated for a long time before saying: "Please allow me to go out tonight."
"You're so seriously injured and you still want to go out?" Li Yinhu asked with a frown.
Xu Wei said awkwardly: "Xiao Taohong from Yichun Hospital... made an appointment with my subordinates to meet today... If I don't go, I'm afraid I'll be sad."
Li Yinhu was stunned when he heard this, then laughed loudly and said: "I understand, I am also a man, I understand."
"Since you like this woman, just spend some money to redeem her and keep her with you. I will have someone make a small courtyard for you."
Xu Wei said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!"
Seeing Xu Wei's grateful look, Li Yinhu felt more and more relieved.
If Xu Wei was really a traitor, it would be impossible for him to take the initiative to leave at this juncture.
As for Xiao Taohong, if they really have feelings for each other and happen to stay in the palace, it would be an excellent way to check and balance Xu Wei.
Li Yinhu, who had thought through many things in an instant, felt at ease.
At this time, Xu Wei spoke again: "Your Majesty, are those assassins today really from the White Lotus Sect?"
Li Yinhu's face suddenly darkened when he heard this, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Who else could it be if they weren't them? Didn't I see their explanation that there was no three hundred taels of silver here during the previous confrontation?"
"Just take good care of your injuries. I will send someone else to handle this matter."
Xu Wei remained calm, nodded and said, "I understand."
At this time, someone came to report that Long Huaiyu was here.
Li Yinhu immediately stood up and said: "You take good care of yourself. If you want to see the woman you like tonight, just go and take the money with you. If one hundred taels is not enough, leave a message to the madam of Yichun Court. The person who spoke will give it first
You take away the money to redeem your life, and the palace will send someone to deliver it."
Xu Wei was a little embarrassed but extremely happy, and said hurriedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."
Li Yinhu nodded and walked out of the door.
When he came outside the door, Li Yinhu summoned someone.
"Your captain of the bodyguard is going to Yichun Courtyard tonight. I am afraid that he will suffer a loss due to his honest temper. You should follow him secretly to see if he has gone to see Xiao Taohong and if he has mentioned the matter of ransom to the old bustard. Report to me when he comes back.
King, you must not disturb Xu Wei, do you understand?"
Li Yinhu has a cunning character. Even though his doubts about Xu Wei were gone, he still subconsciously kept a hand.
The man nodded quickly and said, "I understand, little one."
Let’s not mention Li Yinhu’s secret meeting with Long Huaiyu for now.
In the evening, Xu Wei, whose injury was slightly better, struggled to get up, first went to collect one hundred taels of silver, and then left the palace through the main entrance as if there was no one around.
In the darkness, a figure followed quietly.
Xu Wei bought some rouge and gouache for the woman on the way, and then went directly to Yichun Courtyard. He went to Xiao Taohong's room by familiar routes. After a while, the sound of men and women laughing could be heard inside.
The man who had been following Xu Wei lay beside the door and listened for a while. When he heard the two talking about redemption, he couldn't help but spit.
"Damn it, you're so injured and you still come to play with women, and you're not afraid of dying on a woman's bed!"
Immediately afterwards, the sound of warblers and swallows coming from the room made him unable to stay any longer.
With his heart burning, he took out his newly-paid salary, turned around to find a woman, slipped in, and let go.
