"Your Highness~~"
Just when Zhao Jingyi felt she was about to faint, Yun Shao finally stopped.
Zhao Jingyi nestled in Yun Shao's arms, her face flushed.
"Your Highness, you are truly valiant."
Yun Shao lifted Zhao Jingyi's chin, "That way my Yi'er can become more and more beautiful."
Zhao Jingyi let out a soft moan and snuggled closer to Yun Shao's arms. "Your Highness, my older brother has woken up. And what about him...?"
Judging by the time, Zhao Guangtao doesn't have much longer to live. At this moment, Zhao Tingyi woke up. If His Highness doesn't take action soon, there will be many more variables later on.
Moreover, Su Ruojin is by Zhao Guangtao's side. It's always better to be safe than sorry. What if Su Ruojin discovers the poison Zhao Guangtao has been poisoned with and cures him?
"Let him come back. We'll head to the Zhao family's old house in a few days."
The assassination attempt failed, and Zhao Guangtao and the old lady later woke up. Zhao Tingsong was so frightened that he made an excuse to escape from Yuncheng and waited for news of Zhao Jingyi.
Yun Shao is now in high spirits, having experienced a stroke of good fortune. Firstly, his body has fully recovered, and he is even more vigorous than before, which can be considered a blessing in disguise.
Secondly, the Zhao family jade pendants are now complete. Once he gains control of the Zhao family's treasury, he can...
Third, the Emperor had already agreed to send a letter of state to the Great Chu to ask for Princess Chang Le's hand in marriage.
Once he has all of this, his father should abdicate.
He'll definitely make Yun Gan and her son kneel before him and lick his shoes!
Zhao Jingyi was overjoyed to hear that her brother could return and that they would be going back to the Zhao family's old house soon.
When her brother takes control of the Zhao family's treasure trove, he will have the power to rival her grandfather and eldest brother. With the support of the Third Prince, the Zhao family will soon belong to her and her brother.

The Zhao residence.
Su Ruojin came out of Zhao Guangtao's room, thinking about what her great-uncle had said to her.
“Xiao Jin, I know Yi’er has wronged you. Your great-uncle will not stop you from doing what you want to do, but whoever does wrong must bear the consequences. But could you please ask me to spare her breath? Just one breath is enough. My Zhao family can support her for the rest of her life.”
Her great-uncle's meaning was clear: she could take revenge on Zhao Jingyi however she wanted.
It's fine to cripple or mute someone, but I hope Zhao Jingyi can still breathe.
Su Ruojin could understand Zhao Guangtao's request; after all, she was his granddaughter, and it was understandable that he would make such a request.
What should Zhao Jingyi do?
"Brother, slow down, don't rush, don't tire yourself out." Zhao Jingning's voice interrupted Su Ruojin's thoughts.
Su Ruojin looked up and saw Zhao Jingning supporting Zhao Tingyi as they walked slowly in the garden.
Zhao Jingning looked nervous, while Zhao Tingyi gritted his teeth, trying to walk faster; the scene was quite heartwarming.
Zhao Jingning looked up and saw Su Ruojin, and quickly greeted her, "Sister Jin."
Su Ruojin walked over and checked on Zhao Tingyi's recovery. "Cousin, keep it up! You're recovering well. You'll be able to walk normally in a few days. Just don't run too fast."
Zhao Tingyi already knew that Su Ruojin had saved him, and said with a smile, "Sister Jin, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I might never have woken up again in this life."
“That’s right, brother. I told Jin that you’ve been hiding a lot of good things, and you’re going to give them all to her when you wake up. You can’t let me break my promise,” Zhao Jingning teased.
"Okay, here you go, take them all," Zhao Tingyi said, somewhat embarrassed. "Jin-mei, I'm sorry, I still can't remember what exactly happened back then."
After Zhao Tingyi regained consciousness, Su Ruojin asked him if he remembered what had happened.
Zhao Tingyi shook his head. He could recognize his family, but his mind was still a little unclear. He couldn't remember many things from the past, and it was only after Zhao Jingning reminded him that he slowly recalled them.
He couldn't remember anything about when the accident happened.
"No rush, take your time, you'll remember eventually."
After all, five needles inserted into the brain would have some impact, but judging from Zhao Tingyi's recovery, it's only a matter of time before he regains his memories.
At this moment, a maid came over, bowed and said, "Miss, Young Master, Miss, people from Princess Anxing's residence request an audience with you."
