Zhao Hao went to the yard next door and took a look at Princess Yongning.
Yongning was already fast asleep. Compared to the previous few days, she slept particularly relaxed tonight, with her brows naturally relaxed.
After returning from Yongning, Zhao Hao moved a chair, sat down under the willow tree in the yard, and made himself a pot of tea.
As he drank, he recalled his experiences over the past two years or so.
From the very beginning, when I traveled through time and space, I tried to survive in the Heavenly Prison, and then I did so many things in order to gain a foothold.
Now, he has offered a plan to pacify the barbarians and built a smelting workshop.
After doing so much, I am really tired.
Now, he is no longer short of money. Although the situation of Dagan has not been completely reversed, it should not be a big problem.
Zhao Hao felt that it was time to consider his future life.
But after thinking about it, it seems that there is nothing to do.
Perhaps, I could build a big garden and then hire some servants and maids to serve me.
It's not bad to just eat and wait for death every day.
But what are these women to do?
Not to mention Li Yu, it is very likely that she will not come here.
What about Zhuoya, Yongning, Shang Yuchan, and Jiang Yiren? How should we deal with these four?
Thinking of this, he was immediately troubled.
Zhuo Ya and Shang Yuchan are both easy to deal with.
Mainly Yongning and my aunt.
If the showdown...
No, absolutely not.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, he immediately extinguished it.
But if we don't reveal our cards, we'll have to do things secretly.
And one day, Yongning will know.
There will be trouble then.
What to do?
Zhao Hao picked up the teapot, put the spout into his mouth, took a sip, and couldn't help shaking his head.
“This is difficult…”
If he couldn't make proper arrangements and treated Jiang Yiren like a concubine, he would feel sorry.
Not willing to do that.
This is a dilemma.
However, we have to face the difficulties. We cannot take one step at a time and see what happens. We can delay it for as long as we can.
Otherwise, there will be thunder sooner or later.
"But what should I do..."
He was really scratching his head.
He tilted his head back and looked at the crescent moon in the sky through the gaps between the leaves. For a long time, he couldn't think of a way to have the best of both worlds.
In the end, he could only shake his head helplessly, got up and went back into the house.
At the same time, inside the prison, the Xu father and son had become ants on hot pot.
At first, Xu Jishi, who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, became extremely nervous at this moment.
Xu Yaozu, who was standing aside, was so anxious that he was running around like a headless fly.
"Dad, what should we do now? It's been four or five days, why hasn't His Majesty let us out yet?"
"Please think of a solution quickly!"
Xu Jishi forced himself to calm down and scolded his son, "What are you yelling for?"
Xu Yaozu said anxiously: "Dad, it's already too late. If you don't find a solution, we are finished!"
Xu Jishi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the most important thing now is to understand the situation of the eldest princess outside."
After a pause, he waved his hand at Xu Yaozu, called him over, and whispered, "Go call the jailer, give him some money, and ask him to go home and deliver a message, and then ask his family to investigate."
Hearing this, Xu Yaozu nodded repeatedly: "Dad, I'll go right away!"
Having said that, he quickly stood up and went to call the prison guard.
Soon, the prison boss came over drunk.
When he saw Xu Yaozu, he took off the whip from his waist and started whipping him hard.
The jailer had some skills, and he whipped Xu Yaozu very accurately, hitting him directly on the left cheek.
“Pah—”
"ah--"
Xu Yaozu screamed in pain, covered his face and rolled on the ground.
Seeing this, Xu Jishi inside suddenly stood up and shouted angrily at the jailer: "What are you doing? How dare you hit an official appointed by the imperial court?"
The jailer said with disdain, "Old man, don't yell in front of me. Who among those who enter this prison is not an official appointed by the imperial court?"
"You're not sleeping in the middle of the night and you're making so much noise that I can't sleep. Do you think I should beat you up?"
Those guarding the Sky Prison are all shrewd people. Of course they can't treat everyone like this.
It depends on the person and the crime they committed that led to them being imprisoned.
The father and son of the Xu family were thrown into the Heavenly Prison by His Majesty himself because they offended His Majesty.
Prisoners like this have no chance of getting out.
So, in their eyes, there is not much difference between them and the dead.
Xu Jishi's face turned pale and his chest heaved, but now he needed help from others, so he could only suppress his anger.
"This jailer... Sir, I am the chief imperial physician of the first rank, Xu Jishi. You should have heard of my name."
"I have an opportunity to make a fortune now. All you need to do is send a note to my house and my family will give you ten strings of cash."
"how?"
Upon hearing that there was money, the jailer sobered up a little and his face immediately became smiling.
"Oh, it's Doctor Xu. What are you talking about? Aren't we family and we know each other?"
"Well, a note, huh?"
"No problem."
"I'll get the pen and ink right away!"
After saying that, he put away the whip and turned to leave. When he was out of sight, Xu Jishi hurried to help Xu Yaozu up.
"Yaozu, how are you?"
Xu Yaozu cried, "Dad, I want to kill this son of a bitch!"
