No matter how much they tried to persuade him, at this moment, no matter what he said, the two women would definitely not be able to calm down.
At night, when the storm ended, he held Yongning in his arms and gently stroked her back.
Although Yongning no longer had any strength left, he still managed to hold onto his waist.
Both were breathing heavily.
Seeing Zhao Hao staring straight up, Yongning couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about?"
Zhao Hao shook his head slightly, retracted his gaze and fixed it on Yongning's pretty, rosy face.
"nothing."
Yongning took a deep breath and said, "No matter what happens, I hope you can tell me."
"I am your wife!"
"You are the one closest to me!"
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Okay... Actually, I was wondering, if one day in the future, His Majesty wants to kill me, what will you do?"
Hearing this, Yongning sat up suddenly, and no one knew where she got the strength from.
"Absolutely not!"
Zhao Hao said softly: "I just said that, why are you so nervous!"
Yongning took a breath and said solemnly: "You have made so many contributions to the court and my sister. It is impossible for my sister to... do that!"
Zhao Hao sighed, pulled her back into his arms, and covered her with the quilt.
"Don't catch a cold!"
Yongning snuggled in his arms, hugged him tightly, and said, "I will go to the palace early tomorrow morning and ask the emperor sister not to punish you!"
“I shouldn’t have done that!”
Zhao Hao shook his head: "Don't be like this, she can't do anything about it, you better not go over and cause trouble!"
This was all he could say in front of Yongning.
He can't just say, what's the bullshit pressure from civil and military officials? It's just your sister who wants to deal with me!
This was too cruel for Yongning.
Yongning said: "Well, I believe that the emperor sister will not really do anything to you."
"After all, your contribution is there!"
Zhao Hao smiled softly and sighed in his heart: It is because of my great contribution that this happened...
After coaxing Yongning to sleep, Zhao Hao quietly got out of bed, washed himself up simply, and then went to his aunt Jiang Yiren's yard.
Who knows, the decree might come down tomorrow, so he doesn’t have much time.
When I got to the door, I pushed it gently at first, but it didn't open.
He had no choice but to knock on the door.
Jiang Yiren's voice soon came from the room: "Who is it?"
Zhao Hao whispered: "Aunt, it's me!"
Hearing Zhao Hao's voice, Jiang Yiren hurried over and opened the door.
Zhao Hao stepped into the room and Jiang Yiren immediately closed the door.
When the two of them came into the house, Jiang Yiren couldn't help but ask, "Hao'er, why are you here?"
Zhao Hao sat down on the stool beside the table and waved at Jiang Yiren.
Jiang Yiren was a little nervous. She took a deep breath and walked over slowly.
Zhao Hao stretched out his hand and pulled gently, and Jiang Yiren sat on his lap.
Zhao Hao put his arms around her slender waist and buried his head in her chest.
Jiang Yiren took a breath again, and then asked worriedly: "Hao'er, does His Majesty really want to... imprison you and strip you of your title?"
Zhao Hao nodded: "Yes, the decree will probably come down tomorrow, so come and talk to aunt."
Jiang Yiren said quickly: "What can I do? How can your majesty do this to you?"
Zhao Hao smiled indifferently and said, "Aunt, don't worry about me. I didn't come here to tell you this."
As he spoke, his big hands began to wander over Jiang Yiren's body.
Jiang Yiren's pretty face immediately turned red: "Hao'er, you kid..."
Zhao Hao slowly stood up and carried Jiang Yiren to the bed...
After a fierce battle, the two of them cuddled together. Zhao Hao let out a long breath and said, "Aunt, after I am imprisoned, you should leave the Imperial Capital and return to the Taoist temple first!"
Jiang Yiren was shocked when she heard this and asked, "Hao'er, why is this?"
Zhao Hao shook his head and said, "Aunt, don't ask me first. I have my own arrangements. Just listen to me!"
Hearing him say that, Jiang Yiren simply stopped asking: "Then Auntie, listen to Hao'er!"
Zhao Hao continued, "When the time comes, I might ask someone to pick you up, so don't think too much."
Jiang Yiren nodded gently, responded obediently, and then asked: "Then... how long will Auntie wait?"
Zhao Hao thought for a moment and said, "Maybe one or two months, or maybe three to five months."
"No more than half a year at most."
Hearing this, Jiang Yiren said in a low voice, "Then, won't my aunt be able to do this for a long time..."
Zhao Hao stroked her cheek gently: "Can't what?"
Jiang Yiren said: "I can't see Hao'er... and Ning'er, that girl, and they have two children..."
Zhao Hao nodded.
Jiang Yiren blinked her beautiful eyes, her eyelashes fluttering, as she looked at Zhao Hao.
Her small hands gently stroked the muscles on Zhao Hao's chest.
Zhao Hao felt itchy, so he turned over and pressed on her again...
When it was almost dawn, Zhao Hao left the courtyard and went to the study.
He didn't continue sleeping, but just lay down in the study for a while.
By noon, the imperial edict finally came down, and it was still Eunuch Qu who conveyed the edict.
The decree was simple: to strip the duke of his title and confine him to the clan office.
The Zongrenfu was a place specifically for dealing with royal family members who had committed crimes.
Zhao Hao is the son-in-law of the emperor, so of course he should be treated as a member of the royal family.
Therefore, the confined area was also placed in the clan residence.
The time is, five years!
The news spread like a whirlwind before the sun even set.
Zhao Hao was stripped of his title and imprisoned in the clan house!
The entire Imperial Capital was in an uproar!
Zhao Hao took the order and looked at Eunuch Qu and said, "Eunuch, can I go out and do something else?"
Eunuch Qu sighed and asked, "I wonder what the Master... the Young Master is going to do?"
"We can send someone to run an errand for you, young master."
Zhao Hao said, "It's like this. I haven't visited General Xiao and General Chu Yun in the past few days since I came back."
"I'd like to visit."
During this period, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he only met with Zheng Zhiqian and Wang Mengyu once.
I haven't been there to visit Xiao Danglu and Xiao Chuyun, the father and son.
It is said that the old man's injuries have recovered a lot.
However, Xiao Chuyun has not yet woken up.
Hearing him say this, Eunuch Qu suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Sir, please don't make things difficult for us. If it's just a small matter, we can still make the decision."
"But……"
Zhao Hao smiled bitterly and nodded: "Okay, then I won't go. I'll just go with my father-in-law!"
As he said this, he turned around and looked at Yongning and his aunt Jiang Yiren, whose eyes were already red.
The two women each held a child in their arms.
The two little guys had no idea what was going on and were still sleeping.
