"By then, His Highness Prince Yu will have won the Empress Dowager's favor, and His Majesty values filial piety the most. His Majesty and Prince Ning will be very happy, and His Highness Prince Yu will be the apple of His Majesty's eye once again."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingshu's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Zhao Qianlan traced circles on his chest with her fingers: "It's true! Absolutely true! You can rest assured!"
Actually, He Yunze had come to the Song residence specifically to ask her about this matter yesterday.
He Yunze insisted that he must mention it to the Zhao family, because he was 100% certain, but Zhao Qingshu had been too busy lately and he couldn't see him.
The two chatted back and forth, assuming that no one else knew about their affairs.
Little did they know, Hei Yin was silently lurking on the beam, his eyes fixed on their faces, his expression already extremely gloomy.
When she looked at the two people having sex in bed, her gaze was as if she were looking at dead people.
Having obeyed his master's orders, Hei Yin concealed his presence and had been lurking around Zhao Qingshu for quite some time.
However, because he was too cautious, he often couldn't get close, and Black Shadow couldn't find anything out.
At the time, she thought that her master was probably overthinking things because her son-in-law was so affectionate.
But just yesterday, she finally learned that Zhao Qingshu had arranged a house outside.
She initially thought he was keeping a mistress, so she waited patiently until the Zhao residence suddenly caught fire, at which point she sneaked in.
Since yesterday, Zhao Qingshu has become quite disorganized and impatient, losing her usual caution. She has been waiting in this room ever since.
Sure enough, the person arrived.
But she never expected it to be this woman!
She's Zhao Qingshu's cousin! The two of them conspired to murder someone else, but made their master take the blame and even swindled all of his property!
That was the only keepsake left by the master's parents!
A storm raged in Hei Yin's mind. She was furious beyond measure, and even her back teeth felt a burning sensation.
She only thought of concealing her presence, and once they left the room, she would go out and report to her master, exposing their affair.
She couldn't let her master be kept in the dark and become a laughing stock!
She lay dormant in silence, taking in the scene before her and etching it deeply into her mind.
She would not let those two bastards get away with it, even if it cost her her life.
However, Zhao Qianlan and Zhao Qingshu were completely unaware of the situation and continued to roll around intimately together.
Zhao Qingshu looked at Zhao Qianlan's face with satisfaction and said gently, "I was just worried that I hadn't prepared a birthday gift for the Empress Dowager. If that's the case, then I can rest assured to entrust this matter to your son-in-law."
He stroked a strand of black hair near Zhao Qianlan's temple: "I trust you to handle things."
Hearing this, Zhao Qianlan was secretly delighted, and her tone became even more charming: "Just how trusting are you?"
Zhao Qingshu laughed heartily: "I've entrusted my name to you, aren't you at ease?"
As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something, picked up Zhao Qianlan and got off the bed: "I've found some new gadgets, so I'll try them out today."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qianlan let out another affected exclamation, which made Zhao Qingshu chuckle softly again.
The two walked up to the cabinet with smiles. Zhao Qingshu originally wanted to reach out and open the cabinet, but suddenly stopped.
Zhao Qianlan looked up with some confusion, wanting to ask him what he was waiting for.
But when she looked up, she saw Zhao Qingshu's dark and gloomy expression.
Her heart skipped a beat, but at that moment Zhao Qingshu suddenly put her down.
Zhao Qianlan was shocked by his sudden attitude. She looked up blankly and asked, "What's wrong?"
But Zhao Qingshu shouted in a deep voice, "Assassin! Help! Help!"
As soon as Zhao Qingshu finished speaking, the guards, who were on high alert, suddenly surrounded the house and rushed in, completely sealing off the entire place.
The dark figure on the beam's head narrowed his gaze, and upon seeing the scene before him, his blood ran cold.
Zhao Qianlan was thrown in front of the cabinet before she was even dressed. She is now squatting there, shivering and hugging herself.
Zhao Qingshu threw the bedding on her, then wrapped himself up in his clothes before coldly saying:
"Someone has been in this house!"
"I put a hair in the gap of the cabinet, but now the hair is gone. Someone must have tampered with my cabinet!"
As he spoke, veins bulged, his eyes turned sinister, and he exuded an aura of impending storm: "Someone has infiltrated this house; someone knows my secret!"
"We can't let her get away with this! We need to find out what happened!"
Upon hearing Zhao Qingshu's words, the guards all sprang into action. Hei Yin's eyelids twitched; she had already done her best to conceal her presence and evade all the guards.
But no matter what, she never expected that she would be defeated by a single hair.
Seeing that more and more guards were coming into the room and that they would soon find her, Hei Yin gritted her teeth, grabbed her sword, and rushed out of the window.
The guards, who had been engrossed in their search, looked up sharply at the noise and spotted a dark figure on the beam. They all rushed toward the shadowy spot.
The sound of clashing weapons rang in my ears.
Hei Yin's swordsmanship was swift and ruthless, instantly killing two guards. Blood splattered onto her seemingly ordinary face, which was filled with murderous intent.
But there were just too many guards in front of him, a sea of heads; if he killed one, another would swarm around him.
Hei Yin didn't know how many people he had killed. Blood was coming out of the tiger's mouth of his sword-wielding hand, and the long sword in his hand was broken in two.
She was also stabbed through the shoulder blade by a guard and pressed firmly to the ground.
Zhao Qingshu looked at the woman lying in a pool of blood, then slowly squatted down, his sinister eyes filled with murderous intent as he looked at Hei Yin's familiar face.
He heard Zhao Qianlan's panicked voice beside him: "Cousin, what's going on? Why did she try to assassinate us?"
Zhao Qingshu frowned and said in a deep voice, "This is someone from Zeng Yaxian's side. She already has suspicions about us, which is why she sent this hidden guard."
As he spoke, he reached out and pinched Hei Yin's chin again: "Look, her name is Hei Yin. She is Zeng Yaxian's most loyal bodyguard and the only love her parents left her. She is especially important to her."
