Traveling through time and space and becoming a deposed prince, he just wants to survive!

Chapter 409 Restless Night

Dingzhou did not gain any benefit from assisting Yanzhou in the battle. Instead, it consumed a large amount of weapons and ammunition, and even the injured soldiers did not receive any compensation.

Night fell quietly, and a gloomy atmosphere filled the princess's mansion.

Zhao Sheng said to Li Xin with an angry look on his face, "Father-in-law, we should not do such disadvantageous things in the future. The emperor is clearly taking us for fools, wasting our weapons and ammunition, and not even providing compensation for the injured soldiers."

Li Xin sat aside, his expression solemn. He looked deeply at Zhao Sheng and said earnestly, "You'd better stop saying this in the future. Your identity is extremely sensitive. He is trying to use this opportunity to deplete your military strength."

After hearing this, Zhao Sheng felt a surge of worry in his heart.

He knew very well that although Weizhou and the four surrounding counties were leased from Yanzhou and Bingzhou and were now developing quite well, this did not mean that this place could become his permanent home.

Now that Zhao Hui is the emperor, his thoughts are very different from when he was the Prince of Yan.

"My father-in-law reminded me that there are some things I have to reconsider."

There was a hint of heaviness in Zhao Sheng's words, as if a huge stone weighing a thousand pounds was pressing on his heart.

That night, Li Xin stayed at the princess's mansion and did not return to Dingzhou County.

But Mr. Zhao tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

Zhao Zhen, who was standing beside him, noticed something was wrong with Zhao Sheng and asked with concern, "Husband, you seem to be worried."

Zhao Sheng sighed softly and said comfortingly, "It's okay, I'm just thinking about my future plans. Some things need to be prepared in advance."

"My dear, there is no way out even when the car reaches the mountain. Do we really need to worry about such a long distance?"

Zhao Zhen snuggled in Zhao Sheng's arms, her voice as gentle as the spring breeze.

"There's something I want to tell you. I was once the Sixth Prince of the dynasty, but I fled the capital due to persecution..."

Zhao Sheng said slowly.

"Didn't I already know about this? You said you were the prince at the beginning."

Zhao Zhen’s answer left Zhao Sheng stunned for a moment.

“Uh…” (⊙o⊙)…

Zhao Sheng scratched his head awkwardly, "It's because I forgot, haha..."

After saying that, he hugged Zhao Zhen even tighter.

"It's getting late, why don't we go to bed, husband?"

Zhao Zhen's face flushed and her voice became much softer.

As the night deepened, the atmosphere in the house gradually heated up.

Zhao Sheng picked up Zhao Zhen and walked towards the bed. However, after only three minutes, the house was in chaos and then gradually returned to peace.

"Oh..." Zhao Sheng sighed helplessly.

"Husband, you are already very good. It has been quite a while, don't be angry."

Zhao Zhen's voice is still gentle and pleasant.

"No, I have something on my mind and want to go out for a walk."

In order to ease the embarrassment, Zhao Sheng stood up and said.

After a while, Zhao Sheng put on his clothes, took out a pistol from the bedside table, carefully put it on his waist, and then walked out of the room.

Zhao Zhen lay on the bed with a look of loss in her eyes. She twisted her body but couldn't fall asleep.

Zhao Yongzhu was on duty tonight. Seeing Zhao Sheng leaving, he hurried forward and asked, "Sir, are you going out?"

"Well, I couldn't sleep. I wanted to talk to someone. Your brother is probably asleep already."

When Zhao Sheng saw that the person coming was Zhao Yongsheng's younger brother, his voice sounded a little low in the night.

"My brother goes to bed late every day. He also has to analyze secret reports sent in from all over the place. He won't sleep at this time."

Zhao Yongzhu replied.

"Let's go, take a team and go to the Security Bureau."

After Zhao Sheng finished speaking, he walked out of the inner courtyard of the Princess's Mansion with firm steps.

The carriage in the outer courtyard was already ready. When the coachman saw Zhao Sheng coming, he quickly drove the carriage away.

There is a team of people on standby at the gate who are ready to accompany you on your trip at any time.

Zhao Yongzhu sat on the side of the carriage, the night wind blowing on his face, and he looked vigilantly at the front of the vehicle.

The Princess's Mansion is not far from the Security Bureau, just beside the workshop gate.

There are not only security personnel from the workshop, but also guards from within the Security Bureau.

Chen Er at the door hadn't gone to bed yet and was standing there stupidly.

Seeing the carriage approaching, he hurried forward and asked, "Is that the young master in the carriage?"

Zhao Yongzhu responded: "Yes, go open the door."

"okay!"

Chen Er responded happily, then quickly ran away, preparing to lift the wooden pole of the workshop door.

The wooden pole weighed at least 100 to 200 kilograms, but Chen Er moved it easily.

When Zhao Sheng saw this scene, he couldn't help but think to himself: If Chen Er quits one day, it will probably take several people to lift this pole.

He leaned forward and waved to Chen Er, "Come here."

Chen Er immediately ran over and asked, "Master, what do you want to call me for?"

"Is your mother in good health?"

Mr. Zhao asked with concern.

"Thanks to you, I can eat anything and am in good health. I just often ask about Sister Zhen'er and the young master, saying it's been a while since we last saw each other."

Chen Er scratched his head and smiled innocently.

In fact, Zhao Zhen is younger than Chen Er, but this honest guy always calls Zhao Zhen sister, and Zhao Sheng never points it out.

Zhao Sheng nodded and asked, "Isn't your elder brother coming home again this year?"

Speaking of his eldest brother, Chen Da, Chen Er's face showed a trace of confusion: "Yes, eldest brother hasn't come home in a few years. Mom has always missed him. Maybe he has a woman outside and has forgotten me?"

He couldn't understand why a man would forget his mother once he got a wife.

As for Chen Da, after the incident in the last battle of Langya, he was arranged to recuperate in Guangchang County. After he recovered from his injuries, he did not serve in the army.

At first, he worked quietly in a factory in Guangchang County, and his life was uneventful and uneventful.

Later, at Zhao Sheng's instruction, he became a team leader in the security team.

Perhaps it was a form of self-punishment for his past sins, or perhaps it was a deep worry about a possible reunion in the future. He felt ashamed to return to Luancheng, so he always sent money back but did not want to go home.

"No, I'll send someone to ask him if he has a wife and has forgotten his own mother. Otherwise, let him help you carry the door pole. It's so late and you're the only one here."

Mr. Zhao said half-jokingly.

"Great, great! Now there's someone by Mom's side, and my brother and I can be together again... hehe..."

Chen Er was so happy that he danced with joy, as if he had already seen the scene of his elder brother returning.

"Yes, mother..."

Zhao Sheng's thoughts were also drawn by Chen Er's words, and he remembered his original mother in the palace.

Now that his identity has been revealed, should he bring the original owner's mother over to share in the joy of family life?

The carriage swayed and turned into a yard in front of a two-story building, which was the Security Bureau.

There were two guards at the door, dressed like ordinary security personnel. No one was allowed in here, and it was simply advertised as someone's residence.

Next door was once the residence of Zhao Sheng and Zhao Zhen, and it was not far from where Chen Er's mother lived.
