Zhao Hao just smiled slightly and said nothing.
Last night, he had said everything he needed to say.
Turning his head to look at Eunuch Qu, Zhao Hao said calmly: "Eunuch, let's go!"
Eunuch Qu nodded and left with Zhao Hao.
The appearance of the Zongrenfu is quite good, and it looks like a proper government office.
However, things were completely different later on.
Especially the prison cells.
Cold.
desolate.
Ruined.
Eunuch Qu personally escorted Zhao Hao here and handed him over to a prince who was in charge of the clan house.
Prince Jing.
This person is definitely not as high in status as King Kang, nor as influential as him.
However, to be assigned to work in the Ministry of Clan Affairs, one must have some abilities.
Prince Jing was in his forties, very thin, with a hooked nose, a mustache, and high cheekbones.
There is not much flesh on the cheeks.
Maybe his lungs are not in good condition, as he always holds a handkerchief in his hand.
Whenever you cough, cover your mouth with a handkerchief.
He didn't speak very fast, as if he would not have enough strength if he spoke too fast.
Then the cough will become more violent, and the face will become flushed with the violent coughing.
Eunuch Qu brought Zhao Hao here. The prince didn't say much and immediately ordered people to take Zhao Hao to the back, a dilapidated courtyard.
Zhao Hao was originally wearing a cloak.
However, the two policemen who were responsible for escorting him here forcibly stripped Zhao Hao's cloak off his body after they brought him here.
Zhao Hao did not feel uncomfortable and did not resist. He just let the two men take off his cloak and take it away.
Without his cloak, a cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew over him, causing him to shiver violently.
Zhao Hao shrank his neck and turned to look at the door of the house.
The window paper on the door was in tatters.
One of the doors had been damaged by something before and could not be closed tightly.
In addition, there was a thick spider web on the window frame, which swayed in the cold wind.
Zhao Hao walked to the door, gently opened it, and looked into the room.
There is a table and a wooden bed inside.
Not surprisingly, there were cobwebs everywhere and incredibly thick dust.
There was a roll of bedding on the wooden bed, but no one knew how long it had been left unattended. Because of the dust, its original color could no longer be seen.
Seeing this environment, Zhao Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.
You really do take good care of yourself.
However, since we are here, we should make the best of it.
There's nothing much to say.
He was never one to complain about himself.
Not in the previous life, and not in this life.
He is the kind of person who can live in a villa today and a doghouse tomorrow and still feel at ease and accept it immediately.
He has always done a very good job in changing and adapting to the environment.
In order to avoid getting colder and to stay here longer, Zhao Hao just stood at the door for a moment and then immediately started to clean up.
It was obviously a small house, but Zhao Hao spent it cleaning it from noon to afternoon, almost until dark.
This hasn't been completely cleaned up yet, but it finally has a clean outline.
When it was almost time, I fetched a bucket of freezing well water from the yard and simply washed my body.
He had just finished his work when someone came to deliver food.
No surprises.
They are all leftovers, not much worse than pig food.
Zhao Hao was cold and hungry and didn't care about anything else. He had to eat it even if it was pig food.
However, looking at the food in front of him with ice on it, Zhao Hao still prepared himself mentally for a long time.
After eating, he did not take off his clothes, but curled up on the wooden bed and wrapped the cold, hard quilt around himself.
By late at night, he was already feeling frozen.
Unable to fall asleep, I could only get out of bed and walk back and forth in the room to warm myself up a little.
"If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for a few days."
"call……"
At the same time, in the palace.
Pepper House Palace.
After reviewing the last memorial, Jiang Wan'er stood up and stretched her waist.
Slowly walked to the door.
Qingxing walked behind her, took the cloak and put it on her.
Jiang Wan'er raised her head, glanced at the moonlit sky, and murmured, "Do you think Zhao Hao is asleep now?"
Qing Xing paused and said, "Given the conditions at the clan residence, I'm afraid Master Zhao won't be able to sleep on this first night."
Jiang Wan'er sighed and said, "Hey, let's send someone to bring him a brazier tomorrow!"
"I have done him justice."
Qing Xing nodded: "Yes! Your Majesty, it's late at night, it's time to go to bed!"
Jiang Waner nodded: "Okay!"
…
The next day, a brazier was brought in, along with a pot of the strongest dry wine.
Zhao Hao was very surprised.
He asked the guard, but no one paid any attention to him.
With the brazier and liquor, Zhao Hao felt a lot better, but it was not at all warm.
At this moment, Wusong outside also began to move.
In addition to Wusong, there is more than one force active in the imperial capital.
Various messages were also spread one after another.
On the third day after Zhao Hao left, Yongning could not hold on any longer and entered the palace carrying little Zhen'er.
In the Pepper Room, when Jiang Wan'er saw little Zhen'er, she immediately walked over with a smile, held the child in her arms and started teasing her.
Yongning said hurriedly: "Sister, I want to go to the clan residence to meet Zhao Hao. I have to see what his living environment is like, otherwise I will be worried!"
Jiang Wan'er's eyes flashed, and she immediately said, "Don't worry, how can I treat him badly?"
"He's only been at the clan house for two days, and you're already rushing over there?"
"What would people say if they saw this?"
Yongning looked grim: "Royal sister, let me go see him, otherwise I really won't be at ease!"
Jiang Wan'er frowned and said, "No!"
Yongning was startled and tears immediately welled up in his eyes.
Seeing this, Jiang Wan'er sighed helplessly and said, "Can you please stop making things difficult for my sister?"
"Zhao Hao is colluding with foreign countries this time. Do you think his crime is minor?"
"The most taboo thing is to contact with people."
"Just lock him up for a while, and when the situation changes, I will naturally release him!"
"Don't cause me any trouble, okay?"
Seeing her say this, Yongning knew that today's goal could not be achieved.
He immediately took the child back and left the Pepper Room.
After returning to the princess's residence, Jiang Yiren hurriedly came up and asked, "How is it, did His Majesty agree?"
Yongning's eyes were red and he shook his head.
