When Li Hao saw that Du Jinse and the others had already closed their doors, he knew that they had closed up for the day, which was later than he had expected.
Bringing his people, he went around to the back alley, knocked on the door, and walked in.
"Have you finished counting?"
When the girls saw Li Hao, they all knew that he was Du Jinse's husband and quickly lowered their heads. However, there were still people who secretly raised their eyes to look at Li Hao, feeling envious.
An An's gaze swept over them indifferently.
Peony was startled and quickly lowered her head.
Her heart was in turmoil. Her master was so young and handsome, with such a high status, and was so tender and affectionate towards his wife, she was no less beautiful than his wife. Furthermore, she was capable of singing and dancing.
When and Li Hao walked past her side with each other, she looked at Li Hao in a daze.
An'an walked over, casually blocking her gaze.
"There's someone to be left on duty tonight. You look to be in good spirits, so tonight will be your turn."
Peony was stunned and blurted out, "Isn't there a father-in-law?"
"Eunuch is eunuch, you are all." An An said coldly.
She lowered her head, bit her lips, and softly replied, "Yes."
Du Jinse still wanted to ride the horse, but Li Hao pulled her into the palanquin without saying a word.
"Prince …"
Du Jinse was a little unwilling, she simply did not have enough time.
Li Hao reprimanded her: "Don't close your doors so late. Although this is the capital, to be able to carry so much silver back home late every day is too ostentatious."
When Du Jinse mentioned this, she also wanted to retort, "You say it too, if you have silver notes, don't use them, just take them. Your highness, do you think I should specifically say whether or not I want to use more than a hundred taels of silver in the future?"
Li Hao was speechless, "Do you dare to guarantee that there will be so many people tomorrow?"
Du Jinse was stunned. That's right, today her regular customers were coming to support her, tomorrow there wouldn't be this many people.
"Then there's no need."
Li Hao reached out to hold her face and rubbed it.
"Don't worry about anything else."
Du Jinse finally managed to "save" her face from Li Hao's grasp.
"Can't you talk properly?" Du Jinse looked at Li Hao resentfully.
"Talk properly?" Li Hao looked at Du Jinse with a smile that was not a smile.
Du Jinse immediately surrendered with both hands, "I promise you, I'll definitely close the door earlier tomorrow."
Actually, she had no intention of staying this late. It was just that the madams and mistresses were all so supportive of her, so she was too embarrassed to refuse.
Although it was said that she didn't earn all the money in a single day, she had no reason to kick him out when he came with white money.
Li Hao was finally satisfied.
"You know, the capital... "Actually, it's not as peaceful as it seems on the surface." Li Hao said in a reserved manner.
Li Hao was a king, and in broad daylight, he was even assassinated, so it could be imagined that the capital was not as peaceful as they had imagined.
"Your Highness, what did the imperial government say about you being assassinated?"
Because Du Jinse had been kidnapped, she really did not know how to settle this matter.
Li Hao looked at Du Jinse deeply. He knew her reflexes were long, but it shouldn't be this long.
"What else can we do? The imperial government sent people to I to capture the culprit. When I got the clue and rushed over, he only saw the corpse. Fortunately, I did not give up and finally found you. "
When Li Hao thought of the corpses that littered the ground, even though a long time had passed, he still felt a lingering fear in his heart.
At that time, he thought that Du Jinse was done for, but in the end, he did not give up and had his corpse checked. He did not see Du Jinse, but was actually overjoyed.
"Fortunately, I didn't give up." Li Hao muttered.
If he had given up at that time, the Du Jinse now would not be his.
"Mo Mo, after you were kidnapped by those people, if I does not find you, what would happen to you?"
Du Jinse was startled, then answered honestly, "I never thought about it."
"Then think about it now." Li Hao said stubbornly.
Du Jinse thought about it seriously, "I might … The body and the head are separated, right? "
After all, she had made that stinky water for him. It was too disgusting. In front of such a disgusting person, the robbers naturally wouldn't have any kind of tender feelings for her.
Li Hao frowned.
"No, you should be marrying that Shi Er." Li Hao did not want to hear Du Jinse curse him to die.
Du Jinse was startled, then thought about it seriously: "I never thought about it."
"Think about it." Li Hao looked at Du Jinse passionately.
Du Jinse suddenly felt that it was kind of funny, "Your Royal Highness, you still came. All of these assumptions don't exist anymore, why do you have to find an answer that doesn't exist?"
Could it be that she had to say that once she got married, Li Hao would feel better?
"I just want to know what your choice is."
Li Hao also felt that his request was a bit too much. When he spoke, his tone was not very firm.
Du Jinse leaned in and gently kissed his cheek.
Li Hao was shocked, "Are you still thinking of leaving I later? How embarrassing."
Du Jinse raised her hand and used the handkerchief to wipe the wounds on his face.
"My prince, I admit that Shi Er killed those people to save me, but that simply doesn't change the fact that no one would fall in love with the person he kidnapped, someone who forced himself to do something he wasn't willing to do."
She would never do that.
She admitted that she did put down her guard against Du Shier afterwards, but she would definitely not marry him.
"Perhaps I will find a single man to marry on the mountain. When I have nothing to do, I will go with the man to the mountain to gather wild vegetables, gather herbs, and live a free life. Your highness, I desire freedom the most."
Li Hao reached out to ruffle Du Jinse's hair, "It was I who cut off your wings, trapping you by her side."
Du Jinse laughed as she shook her head.
"Your Highness, I am willing to do this! Otherwise, why would I follow you to the border pass? I can just wait for Your Highness to leave and go live the life I want."
Although there were many things that did not conflict with each other, they had to choose between the two.
The two words "willingly" pleased Li Hao. He reached out and took Du Jinse in his arms.
Du Jinse hurriedly pushed Li Hao away, "My prince, I haven't wiped it clean yet."
There was still a red mark on his face.
Li Hao moved his face close to Du Jinse's lips, and imprinted a mark on them.
"I will enter the palace today. Let's see who will still laugh at I."
Du Jinse was speechless, how could this man touch porcelain.
