Half a month had passed since Zhao Hao stayed in the clan residence.
Fortunately, there was a brazier and a pot of liquor every day.
He managed to hold on.
Even if he wasn't frozen to death.
However, there were already varying degrees of frostbite on the hands and feet.
Every day he had only leftovers for a meal, which was hard to swallow. He was visibly losing weight.
If this continues, he probably won't be able to make it to the New Year.
"Hold steady, don't be anxious, and be patient."
"There can't be any mistakes!"
There must be no problems with this escape plan.
And there are so many of them, so we have to get away together without alerting the enemy.
What he is worried about now is not himself, but his parents and Yongning.
"call……"
“I hope everything goes well!”
It has been half a month, and his current situation is enough to explain the problem.
As for Jiang Wan'er, even if she had a little consideration for the contributions and achievements he had made in the past, she would never allow him to be like this.
There is nothing more to say about this attitude.
She was probably telling herself that he was always in her hands and she could do whatever she wanted with him.
…
Zhao family.
After finishing his work at the Neishi Yamen, Zhao Wenxiang dragged his tired body back home.
Seeing him come back, Qin Shuyun's eyes were red from crying, and she hurried to greet him.
"Brother Xiang, you're back!"
"Sister Yun!"
Zhao Wenxiang greeted them and the two of them walked back into the house.
Qin Shuyun hurriedly asked, "Brother Xiang, how is Hao'er doing now?"
"How about you talk to His Majesty and ask us to go to the clan house to see him? Isn't it okay to just take a look?"
Zhao Wenxiang took a deep breath and advised, "Sister Yun, don't worry. He has made so many great contributions to the court and His Majesty. His Majesty will not treat him unfairly!"
"This time he was stripped of his title and imprisoned. It was also a helpless move. Your Majesty overcame all objections and that is why it is like this today."
"He is in the clan house, he won't suffer any injustice!"
"Sister Yun, don't worry!"
After hearing what Zhao Wenxiang said, Qin Shuyun finally relaxed a little.
However, his eyes were still full of worry.
The two chatted for a few more words, ate a few bites of food, and then Zhao Wenxiang went to the study.
As soon as he came in, the candles in the study were lit.
The candlelight illuminated Wu Song's face as she stood in front of the desk.
Zhao Wenxiang paused and immediately let out a breath.
After calming down, Zhao Wenxiang frowned and asked, "Why are you looking for me again?"
"I've explained things to you very clearly!"
Wu Song immediately said, "Master Neishi, I came to you because of the young master's request. We have now found out that the young master's situation in the clan house is not good."
"Now, we are struggling to hold on. As a father, every day you delay, my son will suffer one more day."
"You won't wait until the young master can no longer hold on and dies in the clan residence before you go to collect his body, right?"
Zhao Wenxiang's expression suddenly changed. He stared at Wu Song and said in a serious tone, "This is impossible!"
"Even if he was tortured in the clan house, he deserved it!"
"Your Majesty, you didn't execute him outright for colluding with foreign countries. This is already a kindness to him!"
When Wu Song heard this, his face changed and veins on his hands were clenched.
If the person standing opposite him was not Zhao Wenxiang, Zhao Hao's father, I'm afraid he would have taken action directly!
Wu Song took a deep breath and said expressionlessly, "Lord Zhao, do you also think that the young master has connections with foreign countries?"
He has changed the honorific "you" to "you"!
Zhao Wenxiang said in a deep voice: "How do you explain why Xie Daoxun let him live?"
"Can you explain that?"
"Can the boy explain it himself?"
"Even if I explain, who would believe it?"
Wu Song said: "No matter who in this world doesn't believe it, you, as the father of the young master, shouldn't not believe it!"
After a pause, Wu Song continued, "Master Zhao, there are only three days left!"
"Once the three days are up, no matter what you decide, we will immediately take action to rescue the young master!"
After saying that, Wu Song put on the mask in his hand and walked outside.
As soon as he opened the door, before he walked out, Zhao Wenxiang called him.
"Wait a moment!"
Wu Song stopped and turned to look at Zhao Wenxiang.
Zhao Wenxiang took a deep breath and said, "When you leave... take my wife with you!"
Wu Song frowned and asked, "What about you, Lord Zhao?"
Zhao Wenxiang suddenly laughed bitterly: "Your Majesty, you have been so kind to me... I cannot leave no matter what!"
"You guys rescue Hao'er, then take your wife with you and leave together!"
Wu Song said nothing and walked out.
Princess Palace.
After coaxing the two children to sleep, Jiang Yiren walked to Yongning and held her hand.
"Ning'er, are you missing Hao'er again?"
"Um……"
When mentioning Zhao Hao, Yongning's eyes couldn't help but become red again.
After they sat down, Jiang Yiren said, "Ning'er, auntie wants to ask you something."
Yongning nodded: "Aunt, just ask!"
Jiang Yiren said: "Forget it, Auntie won't ask anymore!"
As she spoke, she pulled out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Yongning.
"This letter was given to me by Hao'er before he left!"
"Just take a look!"
