After Du Jinse ran out, she found a place with no people, and casually sat down.
"Elder sister, why are you here?"
Xiao Xiao passed by and saw Du Jinse walking over in surprise. When she got closer, she discovered that Du Jinse was tied up.
She came over to help.
Du Jinse hurriedly shook his head, "Let me do it myself, hurry up and leave so that I won't implicate you."
Only now did Xiao Xiao realize that something was wrong.
He stood there hesitantly.
Du Jinse bit on the rope and watched... It was very sad.
"Big sister, there's no one else here. When the time comes, just say that you did it yourself."
Xiao Xiao couldn't help but move forward to help her undo it.
Du Jinse's wrist loosened, she immediately swung it a few times, and started moving.
"Elder sister, what kind of mistake did you make? Why were they tied up? "
Even though King Mo had a bad temper, he rarely used a rope plank on girls. At most, he would only be locked up for two days.
"I... Someone's coming. Leave quickly. "
Du Jinse reached out to push Xiao Xiao.
Hearing that, Xiao Xiao's face changed, and she quickly left.
Housekeeper Li walked over, looked at Du Jinse, and then looked towards the direction Xiao Xiao disappeared in.
"Who untied you?"
Du Jinse pouted, "Who else can help me untie the ropes? Of course it's me. My mouth is swollen from untying the rope. "
Housekeeper Li looked at the drool on the rope. Forget it, even if someone helped her cure it, the Emperor wouldn't pursue the matter of her offending the dragon's body. He even asked the Prince to give her some ginger tea.
"Alright, hurry up and come with me to see the prince."
Housekeeper Li indicated for Du Jinse to follow him. He took two steps forward, but did not see Du Jinse following him. He stopped and frowned at Du Jinse.
"What are you still standing there in a daze for?"
Du Jinse looked at the rope in her hand, "Housekeeper Li, do you still want to tie it?"
Housekeeper Li looked at Du Jinse in puzzlement.
"What is it? Haven't you been tied up enough? "
Du Jinse laughed helplessly, "Who's willing to be tied up properly? "However, the emperor has to at least vent his anger. Otherwise, wouldn't it implicate everyone?"
Hearing Du Jinse's words, the Housekeeper Li could not help but open her mouth and say, "You're really quite bold. That's the Emperor.
After saying that, the Housekeeper Li looked around nervously, and lowered his voice, "Just grab his hair and drag him onto the shore, you're courting death."
Du Jinse looked innocent.
"Then what should we do? Just watch as you drown. "
Housekeeper Li immediately shook his head, "Of course not, but you …. "Forget it, since you've already done so, the emperor doesn't blame you. He even asked the prince to bestow you with a bowl of ginger soup."
Housekeeper Li felt a lingering fear just thinking about it. It was disrespectful to drag the emperor's hair onto the shore.
Shouldn't she be weak and delicate? She threw herself at the railing and cried out in alarm. The Emperor fell into the water!
Then, everyone in the manor moved out together.
That's right.
Housekeeper Li thought about it and still couldn't help but say, "This time you've dodged it. Don't be so reckless in the future."
After Du Jinse heard this, she was not convinced.
I'm not very skilled in swimming. If I'm not careful, it would be easy for me to be buried with them. But I can't just watch them fall into the water while I leave like nothing happened, right?
"Aren't you proficient at swimming?" A voice came from the side.
Du Jinse looked at Li Hao.
Li Hao walked in front of Du Jinse.
When Du Jinse saw him, she somehow felt a little guilty. Raising her head to look at him, she did not cause him any trouble, right?
"The Emperor doesn't blame you, right?"
Du Jinse whispered.
No matter what, she was still a member of the Prince Mo’s Manor in name.
"Of course." Li Hao said.
Hearing this, Du Jinse couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, "How can he be like this? Don't tell me that I have to find a fishing net and fish it out for him, so that I won't even be able to touch him with my fingers."
Li Hao looked at Du Jinse speechlessly. Could it be that she still did not understand that as long as the emperor wanted to punish her for her crimes, no matter what, she was wrong?
He walked forward and grabbed Du Jinse's arm, "Where did all these grudges come from? Alright, let's go drink some ginger tea first."
Housekeeper Li backed off tactfully.
Du Jinse felt wronged.
"I was taking a nap at the pavilion, but who would have thought that he would silently approach. The moment I opened my eyes, I saw his body fall back. I was even startled."
Li Hao's footsteps paused, he turned and looked at Du Jinse, "You said that when you wake up, the emperor is right in front of you?"
Du Jinse retorted, "Isn't that so? I was almost scared to death by him. "
Li Hao looked at Du Jinse as if he had thought of something, "I think that the emperor was so frightened by your face that he fell into the lotus pond."
Very likely.
"Am I that horrible?" Du Jinse was not convinced.
Even if she wasn't devastatingly beautiful, she could still be considered a beauty.
Li Hao gently spat out the two words "Princess Qing".
Du Jinse came to her senses and did not speak anymore.
Seeing that she understood, Li Hao smiled slightly.
"Speaking of which, even if I wanted to sentence you to death, I didn't wrongly accuse you."
Du Jinse pouted but did not say a word.
Li Hao glanced at her, "You just said that you're not familiar with swimming."
Du Jinse turned her head, refusing to answer the question.
Li Hao reached out and clamped her chin, forcing her to look at him.
"I will ask you another question."
"Refuse to answer." Du Jinse stubbornly said.
Although she also felt that she was making a ruckus.
Hearing that, Li Hao laughed, "Oh? I will throw you into the lotus pond now, won't you know that? "
Saying that, he pulled Du Jinse and walked towards the Lotus Pond.
Du Jinse didn't go, and continued to retreat. However, Li Hao disregarded her wishes, so of course Du Jinse couldn't win against him.
"Alright, alright, I'll say it. Can't I just say it?"
Du Jinse compromised.
Li Hao stopped and looked at her.
Du Jinse bit her lips, "I only know how to do simple dog paddling."
How embarrassing.
"Dog paddle?" Li Hao repeated.
Du Jinse gestured, "It's just like a puppy swimming in the water."
Li Hao smiled when he saw her actions.
"I remembers that you were able to paddle very well in the past. Speaking of which, you have even saved his life before."
Du Jinse opened her eyes wide. Why didn't she have it in her memory?
Li Hao looked at Du Jinse. Her expression clearly showed that she did not remember this matter.
"Have you really forgotten?"
Li Hao clenched his fists tightly.
Du Jinse felt as though her bones were about to be crushed as the scene from back then suddenly surfaced in her mind.
She grinned. "Let go, I told you before, I never saved you, I never left my room that day."
Li Hao secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Du Jinse.
Actually, even he himself did not know what he was nervous about.
Snorting coldly, she turned her head away, "Alright, I understands."
Wasn't she afraid that the Prince Qing would misunderstand her?
Du Jinse's heart was heavy. There seemed to be something between Li Hao and her, but she was so confident that she couldn't remember anything after searching through her memories.
Du Jinse looked at Li Hao, he said that she was good at paddling, but in the past, Du Jinse could not paddle, that day, she was pushed into the water by someone, and after that person left, Li Hao took a bamboo pole and saved her back at the shore. She was afraid that the Prince Qing would find out, so she said those words.
"Have you considered what I told you?"
Seeing Du Jinse drink the ginger tea, Li Hao asked.
Du Jinse was startled, she looked up at Li Hao, what is it?
Li Hao could tell from her expression that she had not even remembered what it was.
"Be my woman."
Li Hao slowly spoke out.
Du Jinse's face twitched.
Li Hao squinted his eyes dangerously.
"It seems that you are very unhappy."
Du Jinse carefully looked at Li Hao, "What I said just now was very clear."
Li Hao nodded his head, "The Emperor has already asked the I to return your ransom to the Internal Affairs Bureau. He was only waiting for you to redeem your freedom, I'm afraid the Emperor will summon you to the palace."
"What?" The Emperor summoned me to the palace? "
Du Jinse pointed at her nose in disbelief.
Li Hao sized Du Jinse up from head to toe, nodded his head, "Weird, you have a face similar to Princess Qing."
Du Jinse was not convinced, "It's just because I look so similar to the Princess Qing, shouldn't the Emperor be hiding from suspicion? If the ministers saw this, they would have thought that the emperor robbed their son's wife. "
Before Du Jinse could finish speaking, her lips were covered by a hand.
"There are some words that cannot be said, even if it's just a dream."
Li Hao said softly.
Du Jinse blinked her eyes. Alright, she admitted that she has nothing to say.
Looking at her expression, Li Hao knew that she understood. He took his hand away lovingly, his thin lips curling up slightly, "Summoning you to enter the palace is not necessarily to become the Emperor's woman. Maybe you're just a servant, maybe …"
Li Hao could not forget the emperor's doting gaze. He could deceive himself, but was that the gaze of a daughter?
Li Hao shook his head slightly.
Du Jinse's face turned pale white.
"I don't want to enter the palace."
As soon as he entered the palace gates, he was immediately killed.
Du Jinse did not think that she was clever enough to see through people's hearts.
In a place like the harem, being eaten by someone might even be grateful to the person who ate him.
Li Hao looked at Du Jinse silently.
Du Jinse thought about the suggestion he just mentioned and her face flushed.
"That …"
Du Jinse stammered, "Aren't you going to be crowned soon?"
Moreover, he had just said very clearly that after the coronation, the Emperor would bestow the marriage upon him.
Li Hao nodded.
Du Jinse gradually straightened her body.
She suddenly wanted to laugh.
Li Hao definitely did not understand why she was entangled with this problem.
"To be able to obtain the favor of the Prince is Mo Mo's honor, but … Mo Mo still said the same thing. My heart is already dead, I just want to indulge in pleasure for the rest of my life. "
She really wasn't being pretentious. In her plans for the future, there really weren't any men.
Men would only become a decoration for her after she became famous.
"Could it be that …" Do we still have to keep watch for him? " Li Hao asked softly.
How could he be any weaker than the Prince Qing? He was already so lowly, but Du Jinse did not even put him in her eyes.
Li Hao was injured in his heart, why did it have to be so hurtful.
When Du Jinse heard it, she could not help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at?"
Was his question really that funny?
Du Jinse immediately covered her mouth, and said apologetically: "It doesn't matter to anyone, Prince Qing is kneeling in front of me right now, begging me to leave with him, I will also not agree."
After pausing for a moment, Du Jinse added: "Perhaps this is what it is like to have gone through hell and gone through hell.
"Your pursuit?" Li Hao muttered.
He remembered Du Jinse saying that if she wanted to earn money, she would earn a lot of silver. Leisurely sightseeing.
"If there is no man's path, then it will be extremely difficult." Li Hao was deep in thought.
Du Jinse nodded, "I know, but I hate it when people say that I rely on my man to have all these. I don't believe that if I rely on myself, I can't create a whole new world for myself."
Li Hao looked at Du Jinse who was extremely serious, and shook her head, "It's really hard for you to rely on yourself."
Du Jinse glared at Li Hao in dissatisfaction, "Then you just have to wait and see. I'll definitely spread my name throughout the capital."
"Alright, then I'll wait and see."
Li Hao didn't deny that the women of this world were not stupid, but if they wanted to leave the men, they really couldn't do anything.
Du Jinse thought about what Li Hao had just said and looked at him fervently.
"Did the Emperor really say he was going to redeem me?"
How could his transformation be so fast? Li Hao looked at Du Jinse helplessly, and casually nodded.
"His Majesty did indeed say so."
Hearing this, Du Jinse revealed a big smile, "King Mo, since you have admitted it, then you should know that Jun Wu Yi is lying. From now on, no matter what, I am free, and no one can coerce me."
Li Hao looked at Du Jinse who was beaming with joy, and casually nodded: "Theoretically, it's true."
Du Jinse thought about it and felt happy, "Then quickly tell the people at home not to stop me, I want to leave this place."
Li Hao turned his head to look at the happy Du Jinse, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Do you really want to leave this place?"
Du Jinse felt the unhappiness in his tone and patted his shoulder.
"Your Highness King Mo, you should actually understand that I'm an ominous person."
She said this so easily, as if she was saying that the weather was not bad today.
Li Hao understood what she meant.
How could he not know that it was very risky to leave Du Jinse behind.
Just like today, did the Emperor really just pass by this place on a whim?
Li Hao understood that the Emperor must have smelled something and specially wanted to see what was going on. Otherwise, why did he have to do it when he was not in his residence?
When he felt Du Jinse's gaze on him, his gaze went to meet her.
"I will not let you go."
Hearing this, Du Jinse was a little surprised, but she felt that it was within expectations.
"Your Highness King Mo, I'm really doing this for your own good. Regardless of the reason, leaving me here will bring about a lot of trouble. Even if you don't mind, don't you want to consider the other people in the mansion?"
It was a human instinct to avoid danger. If she stayed here, sooner or later, there would be a day when there would be some centrifugal people in his residence. It was very dangerous for someone who was at the heart of the struggle for power.
"For the people of the estate?" Li Hao scoffed.
"This palace belongs to the I. All these people are from the I. Whether they are alive or dead, they should be circling around the I."
Li Hao understood what Du Jinse meant.
Those who betrayed him for him, even if he didn't do so this time, would definitely do such a thing the next time. If nothing happened, how could they be found out?
"Fine." Du Jinse realized that she had nothing to say.
This Li Hao seemed to have lived a dull life for too long, he was really hoping that trouble would come looking for him.
One had to know that even though a grand and magnificent life was wonderful, it was still the most ordinary and ordinary life. Peace and tranquility was what most people hoped for.
