Chapter 381： Lightly stroked

Yuzhu and Hongdou laughed.

Yun Dai said: "Don't talk faint, go back quickly and let me stay quiet for a while."

She just wanted to lie down quietly, and no one should bother her.

Zhao Yuanjing habitually wanted to reach out and pinch her, and when his hand reached her cheek, he changed to lightly stroking: "I still want to stay with you at night, nothing more. You have a good rest."

Yundai remembered something and asked him: "The emperor didn't punish you for King Lu's matter?"

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot." Zhao Yuanjing looked at Hongdou and asked, "What did the third child tell you?"

Hong Dou thought of this bad thing and whispered: "Prince Lu said that he wants me to be his concubine. He will not let me go unless I die."

"what do you say?"

"The servant refused."

"Only these?" Doubts flashed in Zhao Yuanjing's phoenix eyes, "but I listened to what he meant, it seemed that there was something else?"

Hongdou asked subconsciously: "What's the matter?"

Zhao Yuanjing and Yun Dai looked at each other.

It seems that something is really going on.

Yun Dai asked, "His Royal Highness, has something happened?"

Zhao Yuanjing repeated what Zhao Yuanqi had said in front of the emperor and said: "Although he is impulsive and reckless, he is by no means a fool. Since he dared to bet with me in front of the emperor, he must have something to rely on."

Yun Dai said, "Hongdou, what else did King Lu threaten you with?"

Yu Zhu anxiously pushed the red bean: "I am in a hurry, just say it! Now it's not your business alone. Even your Royal Highness is involved. If Prince Lu succeeds, your Royal Highness will also be punished!"

Hongdou said, "In fact, there is nothing to say about this matter. I just don't want to involve the young master."

As she said, she took out a crumpled note from her sleeve.

Yuzhu hurriedly took it and handed it to Zhao Yuanjing.

Zhao Yuanjing unfolded, glanced, his face darkened slightly.

"What is written on it?" Yun Dai asked.

Zhao Yuanjing put the note away and said, "It is estimated that it was a note sent by the youngest person, threatening Hongdou. It is very easy to make a pregnant woman have an accident."

Yun Dai raised her eyebrows: "Is this to use me to threaten Adzuki beans? Adzuki beans are too stupid. I'm in the East Palace. He wants to use his hands and feet. Is that easy?"

"Actually, there is one more thing." Hongdou knew that now, she didn't say it was impossible.

Maybe it would hurt my brother to say it, but...

If this implicated the little master and His Royal Highness, she would not be willing.

"What else, let's talk about it." Yun Dai said, "I said, since you came to Pingle Garden and followed me, I have a responsibility to protect you."

Hongdou said: "Lord Lu said that he found my brother."

"You have a younger brother?"

"Yes." Hongdou nodded. "After Wei's family was stolen, the males were all exiled to Yelang. My father died of illness not long after he went there. My younger brother stayed there all the time. I heard that he lives on cultivated land. Wang Lu said, He brought my brother back. If I don’t follow him obediently, he will torture him or even kill him."

Yun Dai asked Zhao Yuanjing: "Can people who have been exiled come back casually?"

"Of course not." Zhao Yuanjing said, "Generally speaking, the exiled criminals have no chance of returning unless they encounter an amnesty."

"The last time the empress dowager had her birthday, wasn't she also amnesty?"

"That's a small amnesty. Only some prisoners in the capital were released." Zhao Yuanjing curled his lips, showing a malicious smile, "Zhao Yuanqi dared to bring people back privately... Oh, no one will be held accountable, since I know How can you easily let it go?"
