When the Chief Zhang heard this, he thought in her heart: When did I make such a promise?

However, at this time, when he was trying to distinguish these from the prince, it actually seemed like he had no sincerity at all.

Forget it, the prince wouldn't ask him to do anything bad. If he agreed to it, so be it.

"Of course, thank you both for your magnanimity."

"Milord, you're too polite. We're just minor characters."

Du Jinse knew that Li Hao would not let it go, but since he had apologized, what else could he do?

Du Jinse felt that they had only suffered a small shock, but the Chief Zhang had suffered a huge shock. He really shouldn't bother to argue with them at this point in time, since they hadn't lost anything.

However, having said that, the feeling of being wrongly accused by others was truly not a pleasant one.

If she opened her mouth to say that she wouldn't forgive them, it would seem that they were too petty to forgive her. However, if she were to say that she would forgive them, then she really would feel a little wronged.

Even if they did not use this promise, Chief Zhang and the others knew that no matter what they did, they would be fine. They would have to pay the price.

Du Jinse was very satisfied with this punishment.

Li Hao looked at Du Jinse's eyes.

He knew that she would definitely like this way of dealing with things.

Ding Ding finally did a good thing.

"I has some punishments, go and rest first, I won't be accompanying everyone else."

Li Hao stood up.

If it wasn't for Du Jinse, he definitely wouldn't have accompanied him until now.

"Send it to your highness." Hearing Li Hao's words, the Chief Zhang immediately sent him out politely.

Li Hao thought of something, "Oh right, Chief Zhang, have you guys passed your petitions over yet, and I has also written one. I wonder if we should pass it over together with yours?"

Hearing that, the Chief Zhang immediately said: "Marshal Xiahou is clearing up the mess, I have already started writing. In a while, I will call some people to bring the Duke's memorial to you, we can pass it to him together."

Since they had joined hands to fight, and the Marshal Xiahou was the ruler of the border city, and the Prince was the supervisor, and he was the reinforcement, the three of them should hand over the paper.

Looks like Marshal Xiahou had already thought of this a long time ago.

Li Hao nodded, "That's good."

Chief Zhang and the others sent Li Hao away, and rubbed their noses. Aye, looks like I'm really old, my body is no longer as healthy as before.

"Get someone to make more ginger soup and send it to Miss and the Prince."

When they returned to their living quarters, Li Hao called for everyone to rest as he pulled Du Jinse into the house.

"Mo Mo, your hands are so cold." Li Hao frowned, he was really worried.

When Du Jinse heard this, she retracted her hand and looked at Li Hao in rebuke, "Your highness, pay attention to the situation."

She had been holding back, not wanting to give Li Hao face in front of others, but this matter had to be brought up, he was a "man" now, and it would cause a misunderstanding.

He was here to supervise the army, not to show love in a different setting.

Li Hao did not care about all these.

He reached out and held Du Jinse's hand for her.

"Your Highness." Shi Er's voice came from outside the door.

Li Hao frowned slightly.

Du Jinse took the opportunity to retract her hand, and whispered: "I'll go take a look."

Li Hao stretched out his hand and pressed Du Jinse onto the chair, "You sit down first, I'll go."

Li Hao walked to the door and opened it, only to see Shi Er holding a big pot in one hand and a bucket of water in the other.

Seeing Li Hao open the door, Shi Er nodded his head, "My lord, there is hot water in this pot and cold water in this bucket. Should I put it in here or take it in?"

Li Hao glanced at Shi Er, and stepped aside, "Bring him in."

Shi Er went in and put it down properly, then looked at Du Jinse, "Shi Er will take his leave."

Shi Er had trained in martial arts before, and had stayed outside for a long time. He did not feel anything from his, but when he heard Du Jinse, his voice was a little weak. After thinking for a bit, he understood what was going on.

Li Hao waited for Shi Er to go out as he closed the door.

"I never thought that Shi Er would be so meticulous." Li Hao praised. She was so jealous that she would do her best to be a little better in the future.

After adding the temperature of the water, Li Hao indicated for Du Jinse to go over, "Wash properly while it's still warm."

Du Jinse walked in front of Li Hao and said, "Your highness, please wash first."

Li Hao glanced at her stomach, "Of course it's you first, your son won't be able to stand the cold."

When he was by the river, because he felt the grief of Chief Zhang and the others, he really did not think of himself. At that moment, he really wanted to heat his hands and feet with hot water.

originally wanted to help Li Hao get it done, but Li Hao was unwilling to do so, so he forced her to lie down and poured himself some water to busy himself.

Du Jinse laid on the ground as she looked at Li Hao, somewhat lost in thought.

Li Hao raised his head, and coincidentally saw, his lips curled up as he smiled at Du Jinse happily.

Du Jinse opened her face and smiled back at him.

Li Hao was done cleaning up, he directly walked over, lifted Du Jinse's blanket and crawled in.

Du Jinse waited for him to lie down properly before automatically going over.

"Your Highness, you will protect us, right?"

Thinking about it now, Du Jinse still had some lingering fear. If Zhang Ruimei's body was found in the river, Chief Zhang and the others would really skin her alive, but Du Jinse believed that with Li Hao there, they wouldn't be able to succeed, it was just … It would probably cause both sides to suffer.

Hearing Du Jinse's words, Li Hao reached out and hugged Du Jinse tightly.

"Mo Mo, do you know what I is most upset about?"

Du Jinse raised her head and looked at Li Hao.

Li Hao sighed, "What upset I the most is that we should not have kept Shi Er's identity a secret from him, to the point where he could have taken advantage of the situation and caused I to almost disappear from your sight."

When Du Jinse was not around, he had called the guards over and asked them about the situation at that time. guards's report shocked him greatly, and it was hard to imagine what would have happened if Shi Er had not attacked with all her might.

The guard looked at Li Hao carefully and revealed his guesses, because he could already tell what Shi Er was practicing from his martial arts. The Duke would never let them practice this kind of martial arts.

"Your highness, this Shi Er's martial arts is like the long-lost Seven Injury Fists. Although it is powerful, it is extremely damaging to the body in a short period of time."

Unless it was a life or death situation, the Seven Injury Fist couldn't be used easily. Every time it was used once, the heart would shatter and the user would die on the seventh try.

Thinking of this, Li Hao hugged Du Jinse tightly, rejoicing in her previous decision.

It was hard for him to imagine, if he did not have Shi Er to disregard his life and death, would he still be able to see Du Jinse.

Li Hao urged guards to take good care of Shi Er and guards also agreed. It was all thanks to Shi Er that they were able to leave this place alive.
