When Zhao Guangtao woke up, he had already returned to the Zhao family's old house.
Su Ruojin bandaged his wound. Fortunately, Zhao Tingsong was not skilled in martial arts and his strength was not great. The dagger did not penetrate his abdomen deeply and did not pierce his intestines.
“Xiao Jin, Song’er…” Zhao Guangtao’s eyes held a glimmer of hope.
Su Ruojin knew what Zhao Guangtao wanted to ask, so she shook her head. "Grand-uncle, a sword strike to the main artery is beyond saving, even a god couldn't save you."
Zhao Guangtao closed his eyes tightly, and tears streamed down his face.
"It's all my fault for raising my child like this."
Su Ruojin couldn't bear to see her great-uncle like this, so she comforted him, "Great-uncle, it's not your fault. You weren't the one who took care of Zhao Tingsong when he was a child."
At that time, Zhao Guangtao was busy with the affairs of the Zhao family, so he could only hire the best tutors to teach his four children. However, the children were influenced by their mother in how to conduct themselves.
"So be it, it's all fate." Zhao Guangtao gradually calmed down.
"Xiao Jin, you should return to the Great Chu with your grandmother as soon as possible. I'm afraid of the Third Prince..."
Zhao Guangtao thought about how the Third Prince had been rescued today, and how he had suffered a loss, so he was bound to settle scores later.
Once Xiao Jin leaves, everything will be alright.
Su Ruojin shook her head, "I can't leave. Don't worry, Grandfather, I will arrange everything."
She's safe now that she's gone, but Yun Shao will definitely vent her anger on the Zhao family. How can she be at ease?
“But…” Zhao Guangtao wanted to persuade her further, but Su Ruojin stopped him.
"Grand Uncle, don't worry, everything will be fine. We'll return to Yuncheng tomorrow. Once the necessary materials for the formation are ready, I'll come and set it up."
The materials required for the Zhao Family Treasure Vault Formation are complex and cannot be completed in a short time. Su Ruojin only made some simple adjustments temporarily to ensure that the previous formation could still function. Without a guide, outsiders would not be able to enter for the time being.
"Alright." Zhao Guangtao knew that it was best to return as soon as possible to deal with the Third Prince's next move.

Back at the Zhao residence, Su Ruojin took out the medicine Yun Hao had given her and began to study it carefully; she needed to speed things up.
When Su Ruojin stopped, a sharp glint flashed in her eyes.
The third prince has truly played a brilliant move.
Upon arriving at Yuehua Tower, Su Ruojin saw Yan Gang again and suddenly remembered the eyes of the masked man in black.
She said it looked so familiar, and then she realized it was him!
"Young Master Yan, you know martial arts?" Su Ruojin asked, somewhat surprised.
She had never heard Qin Niang mention that Yan Gang knew martial arts.
Yan Gang smiled. "I didn't know how before, but after marrying the princess, I realized that only literature can fully protect those I want to protect, so I started learning martial arts. Now I can only say I know a little bit."
Su Ruojin looked at Yun Hao, "You dare to send someone who only knows a little bit of martial arts?"
Yan Gang hurriedly said, "This was my own request, and it has nothing to do with the Second Prince."
Yun Hao smiled and said, "Martial arts are important, but sometimes brains are more important. He's back safely now, and every operation needs a leader."
Thanks.
Su Ruojin did not send Yun Hao to support her. She had not anticipated the appearance of the Heavenly Scale Scorpion. Otherwise, with her ability to use poison, dealing with the people Yun Shao brought would not have been a problem.
This time it's a direct confrontation with Yun Shao, so Yun Hao shouldn't show up. It would be troublesome if someone discovered anything.
But to her surprise, Yun Hao still sent someone over, and Su Ruojin remembered this favor.
"There's nothing to thank me for. If something happens to you in Yunqi, I'll have no choice but to offer my head to Senior Brother Xiao. I sent people with me as soon as Yun Shao set off; if he doesn't move, my people won't move either."
Su Ruojin didn't say anything more, and took out a small bottle and threw it to Yun Hao.
