"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

It wasn't until she reached the door of the dormitory that Xiao Hongdou squeezed out half a sentence.

Along the way, the palace maids who came and went could not help but stare at Xiao Hongdou. She was a little flustered. She was only thinking about the rules taught by Mi Niangniang in the Yingchun Palace, and had no idea what to do next.

"Shh."

Han Dongwen signaled her to stop talking, and waited for the maids on both sides to welcome them into the bedroom and close the door. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and let go of Xiao Hongdou.

Xiao Hongdou obviously had not recovered from the bloody scene in the teahouse just now. It was not until the door of the dormitory was closed that she finally came to her senses.

"Your Highness...what happened in the teahouse just now? Why are so many people...?"

Obviously recalling that scene, she didn't even finish her sentence.

"Little red bean..."

Han Dongwen pondered for a moment, considered his words, and said slowly: "What you heard at the teahouse this morning is related to many very powerful people. After following me for so many days, you must have seen it. Many

I can't control things.

"Even His Highness can't control things, so, who has the final say?"

Xiao Hongdou blinked, and she had a vague feeling that this was no longer something that an ordinary palace maid should interfere with.

But now, it's as if there are invisible hands and an invisible whirlpool pulling me in.

"The more you know, the less safe you become."

Han Dongwen shook his head and said, "I just want you to remember what you heard this morning and never tell anyone about it."

Little Hongdou was startled and stammered, "Ren, anyone?"

Han Dongwen nodded: "Including your friends and the other maids in the Yingchun Palace, especially Lord Tantai and Lord Li Zai, you must not mention it."

He thought for a while and added: "If your friends hear about this, I'm afraid they will end up being silenced like those people. You never want that, right?"

Xiao Hongdou nodded quickly, suddenly remembered something, and quickly asked: "Then, what about this assassin we met today? This monster, monster... will there be other monsters like this in the future? I...

"

Of course she also has to worry about her own safety. This is human nature and understandable.

"Don't worry, if what I think is right, there shouldn't be any more trouble for you from such a monster."

Han Dongwen showed a tired smile.

What he said was not comforting words to reassure Xiao Hongdou.

The reason why Han Dongwen had the confidence to say this was because he had decided to talk to the assassin directly.

Of course, it's not that monster-like human puppet, but the owner of this monster, the head of the Department of National Law who wants to reap the kickbacks from the shoddy project.

Tomorrow he will come to the palace to take responsibility!

Originally, Han Dongwen was still having a headache about how to balance the relationship between the National Law Department and the National War Department. The National Law Department had already suffered a big loss due to An Haijin's incident.

But Han Dongwen didn't have anything in his hands that could directly benefit the Department of Justice.

But now, the National Justice Department unintentionally committed this heinous crime, which could have become a handle for the National Defense Department. If Han Dongwen could successfully wrap this fire in paper, it could at least become a factor in the negotiations between Han Dongwen and the National Justice Department.

chips.

To put it nicely, this was a favor he sold to the Department of Justice.

To put it bluntly, this matter can be used to threaten the Department of Justice.

If Han Dongwen's idea can succeed, even major issues such as An Haijin will be able to be explained, and letting a palace maid go will naturally be no problem.

Xiao Hongdou nodded, and the two of them were silent for a long time.

"Thanks a lot."

Han Dongwen always felt that he should say something. After all, if he stayed in the palace peacefully, nothing like this would happen.

No, if Xiao Hongdou goes back alone to redeem the jade token, I'm afraid it will be even worse...

Xiao Hongdou is just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, so she should never encounter such a thing.

He thought for a moment, took out Li Zai's twenty gold dollar banknote from his arms, and handed it to Xiao Hongdou.

"This is for you. You still have to look for your jade plaque for the time being."

Han Dongwen said this, but his heart really hurt. After all, he couldn't take out a single coin from his body.

Even though he is the king of a country, any expenditure he makes needs to be recorded.

Some private money can bypass the eyes of various forces in the palace, which is always a good thing.

"This, I..."

Xiao Hongdou hesitated for a moment, then took the banknote, lowered her head and said, "Then when I pay the banknote, I will return the extra money to you.

Han Dongwen almost nodded immediately, but then he thought it was not decent enough, so he could only wave his hand calmly.

"Besides, you must be tired from what happened today, so you should leave early and rest. Remember what I said, don't tell others."

Xiao Hongdou nodded and was about to turn around and leave Han Dong when she suddenly stopped him again.

"By the way, there's one more thing."

"You say."

Han Dongwen touched his chin, pondered for a long time, and then slowly spoke.

"Go to Tianchi Palace and tell Concubine Yin that I want her to sleep with you tonight."

——————

According to what Xiao Hongdou heard, Han Dongwen's own guess about having a baby has basically been confirmed.

The Tantai father and son of the National Military Department do not want to leave any flesh and blood behind, because they are currently being manipulated by them.

The content of the conversation has also ruled out the possibility of Chi Hanqing.

In other words, after excluding Chi Hanqing and other concubines whose names I have never heard of, the person who is most likely to become pregnant with Han Dongwen's child and then abandon the father is Jiang Keyin!

"Jiang Keyin..."

In a person's bedroom, Han Dongwen had finished his dinner and was leaning on a chair, deep in thought.

From this point of view, Jiang Keyin must be close to a high-level person in the National Law Department. In other words, she was placed next to her by the National Law Department.

Her only purpose is to get pregnant with Han Dongwen's child!

"Brother, I didn't expect that you would be taken into consideration as well."

When Han Dongwen thought of this, he couldn't help but look down at his crotch.

There was still some time before Concubine Yin went to bed, so Han Dongwen stood up and paced around thinking about how to deal with it.

There is no doubt that he can't touch Jiang Keyin easily.

If a woman is determined to be pregnant with your child, she will always have many ways to do it.

What's more, once this child is born, you will have no way out.

Han Dongwen thought that he could not think so openly as "die under peonies and be a ghost and be romantic", so he could only feel wronged to his brother for the time being.
