His lightness skill must be quite good, as he even managed to break through the formation on the lake.
He scoffed inwardly, "Even if they can get in, so what? Whether they get back alive is not up to them!"
The newcomer was dressed in black and had his face covered.
Judging from his height, he is a man.
He didn't know what he was looking for, so he searched the study and finally sat down in the spot where Cui Shenghe had been admiring the paintings.
The window in front of the desk was wide open, and the moonlight poured in.
The man picked up the painting and, by the moonlight, read the inscription word by word: "A gift solely to my elder brother, Shenghe."
Cui Shenghe noticed that the man was somewhat agitated when he read those words. No, to be precise, he was unusually angry.
Could this person be Zhizhi's admirer?
There are probably very few people in the entire Lingyang who care about Zhizhi, keep track of her whereabouts at all times, have the ability to obtain the map of Zhanyuan, and can easily break through his formation to enter Zhanyuan.
Ordinary "visitors" are basically buried at the bottom of the lake in the array on the lake surface.
Cui Shenghe suddenly became interested in this uninvited visitor.
He put away the copper bell in his hand and quietly observed the newcomer from the shadows.
The man gritted his teeth and said, "Cui Shenghe, I know you're lurking in the shadows. I don't care what your purpose is, but if you dare to harm Zhao Zhi, I will make sure you have no place to stand in the Yun Dynasty and the Da Sheng Dynasty!"
Cui Shenghe sneered inwardly, "Quite the boast!" He wasn't someone who had been intimidated since childhood.
He was not swayed by the visitor's provocation and remained hidden in the shadows.
After waiting for a while, the man got bored and turned to leave.
Cui Shenghe gazed thoughtfully at his retreating figure.
Fortunately, the drawing wasn't of his true appearance, otherwise it would have really gotten him into trouble.
It seems we need to set up a secret base exclusively for him and Zhizhi.
On the other side, Zhao Zhigang had just returned to his room after attending evening lessons with his teacher when Ah Huang in the courtyard let out a soft whimper and fell silent.
She immediately became alert, blowing out the candlestick while clutching several silver needles in her hand, ready for anything.
The moment the other party appeared in the room, several silver needles flew towards him.
But none of their shots hit their target. In almost an instant, their opponent had moved behind Zhao Zhi and wrapped their arms around her waist.
"Zhizhi, you have a deep obsession with murdering your husband!"
Shen Hanshan mocked.
"Shen Hanshan, we have already broken off the engagement. Please show some respect!"
Zhao Zhi raised her leg and pushed upwards, and Shen Hanshan pulled her back, causing them both to fall onto the bed.
It was unclear where the pressure had been applied, but Shen Hanshan let out a muffled groan, seemingly in great pain.
Zhao Zhi said indignantly, "Serves him right! He tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead!"
Shen Hanshan suddenly laughed, "Zhizhi, don't you think you're insulting yourself?"
Reminded by him, Zhao Zhi suddenly realized what he meant, feeling both ashamed and embarrassed.
While Shen Hanshan was in pain, Zhao Zhi tied his hands behind his back, bound them with his belt, and dragged him into the closet and locked him up.
"Since Prince Rui enjoys the pleasures of women's quarters so much, I'll gladly keep him company. You, on the other hand, can enjoy the night here!"
Zhao Zhi was having trouble sleeping because of Shen Hanshan's disturbance.
Zhao Rou was also unable to find peace, because Hui Zeng had come again.
"You thieving monk, you weren't satisfied with just one taste of sweetness, you dare to come again!" Zhao Rou cursed in a low voice, half-heartedly resisting.
When he saw that Zhao Rou's attitude towards him was significantly different from the previous night, he was delighted and his actions became much gentler than before.
Zhao Rou pressed her hands against Hui Zeng's chest and said aggrievedly, "Brother Hui Zeng, Rou'er has never experienced anything like this before. Don't be impatient, you hurt Rou'er yesterday..."
