Zhao Ying thought for a while, "How can I trust you not to tell anyone after you accomplish this?"
"I swear to heaven, if I, Zhao Yao, break my oath and reveal your life story, I, Zhao Yao, will die without a burial place!"
Zhao Ying finally felt relieved.
However, Zhao Yao sneered in her heart. Of course she would not tell anyone. She would never let Zhao Ying live until she told anyone!
Zhao Ying frowned and said, "I can agree to your request, but three is too many!"
"Do you still have bargaining power now?"
Zhao Ying smiled bitterly and finally agreed honestly.
"Okay, you go ahead!"
"First... I want you to give me one million silver taels!"
"One million?!" Zhao Ying was shocked, and then said in embarrassment: "Huai'an, you know my annual salary is not as high as yours. Where can I get so much money to give you?"
"I don't care! This is something you have to figure out, not me!"
Seeing Zhao Yao's firm attitude, Zhao Ying had no choice but to agree.
Then, Zhao Yao said, "The second thing... I want you to let my Xue'er go!"
Zhao Ying took a deep breath and nodded imperceptibly.
"And the third one?"
"The third thing..." Zhao Yao smiled faintly, "Zhao Ying, I want you to kill someone!"
Zhao Ying frowned upon hearing this. She narrowed her eyes and studied Zhao Yao for a long moment before asking, "Who?"
"Shangguan Shifan!"
"No!" Zhao Ying stood up suddenly, widened her eyes, and refused decisively.
"That's my father-in-law! How could I kill him?"
Zhao Yao, on the other hand, appeared contented. She picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea. "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"I didn't tell you to stab him with a knife. Poisoning, assassination... I believe that with your intelligence, it wouldn't be easy to kill someone without them noticing."
Zhao Ying panted heavily, muttering, "I still can't do that! My father-in-law and the emperor have a deep friendship. Even if I don't think about him being my children's grandfather, I can't kill him. It would be too detrimental to my moral integrity!"
"Hidden virtue? You care about hidden virtue too? Ha, your mother deceived my father, the emperor, and made him favor a bastard like you for thirty years! What's the point of talking about hidden virtue? Think about the status and position you're about to lose, and your mother's reputation after death... Oh, right, most importantly, the lives of your children!"
"If the Emperor knew of your crime of deceiving the Emperor, you and your children would be executed along with your entire family!"
It seemed that these words finally touched Zhao Ying, and Zhao Ying's dull eyes gradually drooped.
Zhao Yao knew that Zhao Ying lowered her head.
She said in a trembling voice, "If I...if I help you with these three things...you, you must give me Mrs. Wang!" As she spoke, her voice was choked with sobs.
Zhao Yao nodded.
Zhao Ying couldn't help but ask, "Huai'an, why do you want to harm the Duke of Zhenguo? He is Shangguan Shu's father..."
Zhao Yao remained silent.
He sneered in his heart. Of course he knew that Shangguan Shifan was Shangguan Shu's father. It was precisely because of this that he had to die!
Only the dead have the strictest mouths!
She couldn't just sit there and wait for Shangguan Shifan to tell the truth about the incident one day!
Not only that, she also wants to use this incident to completely destroy Zhao Ying!
If Shangguan Shu knew that Zhao Ying had poisoned his father...
hehe……
Seeing Zhao Yao remained silent for a long time, Zhao Ying knew that she didn't want to tell her, so she gave herself a way out. "If you don't want to say it, then forget it. Don't worry, I will do these three things for you. You also have to promise me that you won't tell anyone about these things!"
Zhao Yao said slowly: "Don't worry..."
Zhao Ying left Zhongcui Palace. Perhaps because she was too confused, she almost fell down when she went down the stairs. She stood up straight, listened to Zhao Yao's ridicule behind her, forced herself to straighten her back, and slowly walked out of the palace gate.
It was not until they drove out of the palace in a carriage that Zhao Ying relaxed his muscles, leaned lazily against the back of the carriage, and a barely perceptible curl of his lips appeared.
After Zhao Ying left, a maid lowered her head and whispered a message into Zhao Yao's ear.
"The prince wants to meet you at your usual place tonight!"
Zhao Yao was stunned when she heard this and felt panic subconsciously.
Could it be that Shangguan Shu knew something?
Did Zhao Ying tell him?
No way? Zhao Ying just left her...
What is that?
Zhao Yao was afraid that Shangguan Shu would find out that she had made things difficult for Zhao Ying and would get angry with her. She knew Shangguan Shu's methods and she couldn't bear it.
Now it’s different from before. Shangguan Shu’s heart is no longer with her.
He has completely sided with Zhao Ying!
But she couldn't bear to refuse to see him.
Shangguan Shu hadn't met her privately for a long time, and she actually missed him a little.
Zhao Yao thought about it and finally agreed.
"good."
…
At night.
An abandoned villa on the outskirts of the city.
To say it is abandoned means that no one lives there.
If you ask why no one lives here...rumors say it's haunted!
It is rumored that the owner of this manor is an old pervert who likes to touch women on a daily basis. When someone comes to his door to molest him, the pervert's wife covers up for him and says that the woman who was molested is also a slut, otherwise why would her husband touch her instead of others?
Because of this, many of the victimized women jumped into wells in anger.
As luck would have it, there was a well at the entrance of the manor.
The sky is beautiful and the land is beautiful, it is the wonder of nature. The deep well suddenly appeared, and the water is sweet and clear, which makes the surrounding neighbors envious.
The neighbors wanted to borrow some water to drink, but the family refused.
The only flaw is that the well mouth is flush with the ground, and if you are not careful you will fall in. Many people fell in at night and died due to untimely rescue.
