Duoduo saw that He He could actually laugh, which made her unable to help but shout at him,

"You're still laughing, don't you know where you are now?"

He He said indifferently: "Since we are here, we should make the best of it. What's the point of being anxious?"

Duoduo: "Don't you know that you will die soon?"

He He: "I am a blessed person with a long life. It is impossible for me to die so easily."

Duoduo: "You are just blindly confident. You are so shameless even when you are about to die."

He He: "How do you know that they can definitely kill us?"

Duoduo paused for a moment after hearing this, and then couldn't help but lower her voice and said, "You mean you want to tell them your identity and force them to let you go."

He He: "If they knew my identity, they would definitely destroy the body as soon as possible."

"After all, they can still deny it, but if the princess knew that they kidnapped their precious son, they would definitely die."

When Duoduo heard this, she seemed to be deflated: "It doesn't work. We are doomed this time."

He He: "There's no harm in dying. At least I won't have to worry about you divorcing me."

Duoduo: "Are you crazy? It's already this time, and you're still telling me this?"

He He: "I'm speaking from the heart!"

Duoduo glanced at him sideways, then leaned weakly against the wall.

The ropes tied around my body were very painful at the moment, but this pain was insignificant compared to death.

He He glanced at her, and then whispered to comfort her: "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to take you away."

Duoduo: "How can we escape? Now we are both tied up, it's not easy to even stand up."

He He: "Believe me, I can definitely take you out."

Duoduo glanced at him, then couldn't help but droop her eyelids: "If you can run away, run away. After all, without me, you might run away."

He He: "You are my woman, I will take you out even if I die."

Duoduo looked at Hehe's sincere eyes and for a moment she didn't know whether she should believe him.

In order to make Duoduo relax, He He tried hard to tell her jokes.

At first Duoduo found him annoying, but gradually Duoduo couldn't help but start chatting with him.

The next day, sunlight shone through the dungeon window.

It just happened to shine on Duoduo's face. Duoduo slowly opened her eyes. When she looked around, the scene of last night instantly emerged in her mind.

"Shen He!"

She tried to move her feet, wanting to get closer to He He in order to wake him up.

He He opened his eyes hazily, and after seeing Duoduo, he instantly became energetic.

"What should I do?" Duoduo remembered that he vowed last night that he would take her out.

He He: "Don't worry!"

At this moment, the voice of the guards outside was suddenly heard.

"Second Master, these two chatted till very late last night, and they seemed pretty damn happy."

"It's not easy to be able to go down happily when death is imminent!"

The second in command walked in while speaking.

When He He saw him, he immediately smiled flatteringly.

"Master, you are here!"

The second in command looked at He He fiercely, "Weren't you very arrogant yesterday? Why aren't you arrogant now?"

He He: "Master, I didn't recognize the great man. Please give me a chance to make amends."

Upon hearing this, the Second Master could not help but snort coldly: "A chance to make amends? Basically, no one who comes here survives."

"You are such a foolish boy."

He He heard this and his expression changed slightly, and then he immediately smiled and said, “Master, I know that Dad just wants money.”

"But we are just managers, and we don't have much money even if we try our best."

Second in command: "The things you searched from me last night are priceless treasures, and you actually say you are the manager?"

He He: "Master, I am indeed the steward. I am the steward of the palace. This is my wife. My husband and I are both members of the palace."

"The treasures I have seized were all gifts from the princess to me."

"The princess has always been generous, and everyone knows this."

The second in command glanced at Duoduo, then said with a sly smile: "This little sister was actually wasted by you, what a waste of talent."

"Second Master, can I help you take that person back to your room?"

He He: "No, if the Second in Command wants to gain greater benefits, he can't touch my people."

Upon hearing this, the second in command squinted his eyes and looked at him: "How dare you threaten me?"

He He: "Of course I don't dare to threaten the Second in Command. I just want to make friends with the Second in Command so that I can seek greater benefits for him."

The Second Master: "Humph, you are just a lousy steward, yet you dare to play tricks on me? Do you really think you are a piece of cake?"

He He: "Second Master, you don't know that I have been in the palace for seven years. I know better than anyone where the money is hidden."

Upon hearing this, the second in command couldn't help but squint at him. He was obviously weighing the truth in his words.

"Then tell me, where is the money in the palace hidden?"

He He: "I think the Second Master knows how much business the palace has and how much tax the people of Yazhou have to pay."

"There is so much money in the palace, it is impossible to hide it all inside the palace. The princess is also afraid that one day the emperor will punish her and directly confiscate the palace."

"So she would bury the money she earned in those fixed places every year, so that she would have some money to save her life at the critical moment."

This happens not only in the royal palace, but also in the high-ranking officials and nobles.

So when He He said that, the second in command believed it without hesitation.

"The money in the palace is not something that others can easily obtain."

"Fortune and honor are sought through risk. If the second-in-command wants to do something big, he must take this risk."

"What do you want? Why are you doing this?"

"Of course, it's to survive. My wife is weak and I just want to be with her forever."

Hearing this, Duoduo looked at him with an unnatural expression. She knew he was protecting her, which made her nose sore.

The second in command looked at him and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Keep an eye on them, and don't let them run away."

"It's the second in command!"

This is the second in command, and for such an important matter, he would naturally consult the first in command.

No one can refuse huge wealth, even those from the royal palace. Even if they know it will be difficult to find out, they still have to do everything possible to get more money.

He He watched the second in command leave and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at Duo Duo.

Duoduo didn't dare to look him in the eye, for she was really afraid of being discovered by the jailer.
