Su He opened his mouth, but didn't know how to reply. Although he was at the throne and was his father, there were many things that he couldn't say in front of Han'er.

Su Qian Han looked at him, his tone did not change at all, "There will be a good show tonight at the Zhao residence. Su Qian Han looked at him, and his tone did not change at all," There will be a good show tonight at the Zhao manor.

Su He closed his eyes. Tired appeared in the depths of his cloudy eyes. In an instant, he seemed to have aged many years. "Alright, I'll go with you …"

As night fell, a dozen shadows flashed across the sky above the Zhao Family mansion. At this time, the Zhao Family people were still in a comatose state. Other than the servants, who were usually on night duty, there was nothing else.

Zhao Jin was in a daze, when he suddenly heard the door slightly trembling. When he finally opened his eyes, what entered his vision was a sword shining with a cold light. The blade was aimed straight at his chest.

"Ah ~" He cried out and rolled off the bed, falling to the ground.

When the black-clothed man saw Han Li awaken, an instinctive flash of panic flashed past his eyes. The sharp sword immediately turned and pierced towards the chest of the man on the ground.

Zhao Jin was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat, and he was so stunned that his eyes were wide open and he couldn't even scream.

However, the blade did not pierce his chest. Instead, it was deflected by a silver needle shooting from the doorway.

A light laugh came from outside the door: "Oh, in such a hurry to make a move? It seems like your master has also been forced into a corner? "

The man in black was stunned, he quickly turned his head and saw the person who came, "It's you?!"

"Tsk tsk, looks like he's an old acquaintance." Xiao Qingran walked over from the door leaning against with her arms folded across her chest. Her line of sight shifted from the man in black to Zhao Jin: "Lord Zhao, long time no see ~"

"Is it the girl from the Xiao family?" "Save me, quickly save me!" The strong desire to live made Zhao Jin and Xiao Qing Qing plead for help.

The latter smiled and displayed her magnanimity at the right time, "Of course I'll save you. After all, this is the reason I came here. Furthermore, I will need Master Zhao's help in the future."

"With just you?" The man in black sneered. He turned the blade in his hand towards her. "You're courting death!"

Under the light and shadows of the sword, Xiao Qing quickly turned her body and kicked the teapot on the table towards the black clothed man's palm.

The man in black didn't mind letting go of the sword in his hand. He silently cursed and did not continue to fight. Instead, he gathered his inner force and wanted to kill Zhao Jin with one punch.

Xiao Qing Ran's expression darkened. At the same time her palm turned into a fist, she used her wrist to block his movements. At the same time, she struck out a palm towards his chest before sending two more kicks towards his ankle, forcing him to kneel on the ground.

She raised her eyebrows and arrogantly and arrogantly said, "Do you still think I can't deal with you?"

The black clothed man gritted his teeth. Being subdued by a woman made him feel very unwilling to accept it.

Xiao Qing saw his lips move under his black face and sneered. She reached out to pinch his chin: "You want to die? How could it be so cheap? "

"Ah..." The man in black let out a groan as he opened his eyes wide and spat out a mouthful of blood. A green pill was lying in the pool of blood, and the pill fell onto the ground, revealing a delicate face.

Xiao Qing Qing had seen this person before. He was a palace guard.

"What is it? You think that as long as you die, your master will be fine? " Xiao Qingxi gave a cold laugh, "It looks like the Empress is indeed well-trained. I've only personally heard of death guards and such. As expected, they live up to their name."

"Hmph, if I don't complete Master's mission, I'll just die anyway. Do you think I'll leave you with an excuse?"

"Even if you die, this evidence has already been left behind. There are only a few people that can order the palace guards around, and even if you don't have your brothers, one of them will still speak."

The man was stunned. "What do you mean?"

Xiao Qing's lips curved upwards as she spoke with a hidden meaning, "You'll know very soon."

"Miss." Riko came in from outside.

"Mm, bring him out." Xiao Qing`er kicked him to the ground and forced him out of the courtyard.

She turned her head to look at Zhao Jin, who had been scared witless, and said with a laugh, "Lord Zhao, what's going on? This isn't the first time you've experienced this, so why aren't you used to it yet? "

If Zhao Jin wasn't overly frightened, he would probably have already cursed at them. He wouldn't get used to this kind of thing no matter how many times he experienced it, right?!

Xiao Qingran knew what he was thinking just from his pale face. She casually sat to the side with a playful smile: "Actually, it's normal that you're not used to it. After all, the scene this time is a bit bigger than the previous two times."

Zhao Jin's body stiffened. He was finally able to regain some rationality and speak to Qin Lie, "You know?"

"Heh … If I didn't know, Lord Zhao would have thought that you would still be able to live to this day?" Xiao Qing Ran smiled as she reached to pick up the teapot beside her. She only stopped when she felt that the tea was a little cold.

"The last few times were you …" Your people? "

Besides this, the Zhao Mansion had also experienced two assassination attempts before. However, both times, they had been taken care of by someone else. At that time, he was surprised that it was them.

Zhao Jin took two deep breaths and propped himself up from the ground with his hands on the edge of the bed. "What do you want from me?"

"Lord Zhao, where did you come from?" Xiao Qing suddenly shrugged her shoulders. "I am just drawing my sword to help. I have no other intentions."

"Ho … Do you think I'm a three year old child?" Zhao Jin coldly snorted and steadied himself by the headboard, "Don't think that this old man doesn't know. Although the Residence of Duke Han seems calm on the surface, there is actually a hidden murderous intent hidden inside them. Duke Han has built up many connections in the imperial court over the years. You are looking for an opening from me! "

Xiao QingRan rested his chin on his hand and was not angry because he had pointed out what he was thinking. Instead, his expression was indifferent: "So what if it's as Master Zhao said? I know sire has long discovered that we've been investigating the matter for more than twenty years. Didn't sire only decide on the empress because of that incident? But the crux of the matter now is that the empress doesn't seem to want to be taken in by your lordship? "

Zhao Jin's body stiffened. His expression was somewhat ugly, but he had not lost his reason. "What about you two? Aren't you trying to use this old man? "

"Indeed, but being able to use it is already very valuable. When a person doesn't even have the value to use it, that person won't be far from death." Xiao Qinglan shook the teacup in her hand and slightly tilted her head: "Maybe I don't feel anything special about saying that to you. How about you follow me out and take a look?"

As she spoke, she stood up and walked out of the courtyard.

Zhao Jin didn't want to let her pinch his nose, but he couldn't help but follow her. When he arrived at the door and saw the scene outside the courtyard, he fell to the ground in fright. "What …" How could it be like this! "

The courtyard was littered with at least a dozen corpses. Other than the men in black, there were also the three servants of the Zhao residence. These people had come too fast.

In this blood pool where dragons and tigers competed, the lives of ordinary people were the most worthless.

Xiao Qingran glanced at the few men in black subdued by the wind and said in a deep voice, "It's not the first time that Sir Zhao has met the empress. He should know how good she is at handling matters, but you're lucky that you didn't sleep with her today. The empress was attacked as well …"

When she said this, she deliberately paused. Zhao Jin immediately widened his eyes in panic and confusion. "Then Madame …" How is she? "

When Xiao Qing saw that he had fallen for her trap, she leisurely said: "It's a good time for our people to go. Madam has only suffered some shock and isn't injured, it's just that this time it's the Lord's and Madam's luck, but if there's a next time, I can't guarantee anything good will happen."

Zhao Jin leaned weakly against the door frame and immediately felt much more dispirited. "It seems that the heavens are going to destroy my Zhao Family."

As you said, I just want to know the truth from you over twenty years ago. The lives of an entire family of adults is of no use to me, and that person has already taken action against the Zhao manor. Does Master think that your only son in the prison is safe? "

Xiao Qingran's words made Zhao Jin's heart tremble. Zhao Chen was so important to him; otherwise, he wouldn't have broken off all ties with Lan Ying over this matter.

"This old man promises you!" Zhao Jin's body trembled a few times as he said anxiously, "As long as you can save my son, I won't hide it anymore!"

"Very good." Xiao Qing Ran smiled, "Then please begin to talk about it from twenty years ago."

Zhao Jin was immersed in his own world, so he didn't notice that when she said those words, she purposely raised her tone, as if reminding someone of something.

In an empty room on the other side, Su Qianhan lowered his voice and said, "Esteemed Empress, you have to be careful not to come across anything that will alarm the people outside. Otherwise, we won't be able to continue watching this show."

Lan Ying's body stiffened just as she was about to push away the vase on the table in panic. Her face paled even more as she opened her mouth to feign calmness. "Duke Han, what do you mean by this? When the Residence of Zhao encountered the assassins, His Majesty should have sent someone to protect the imperial officials. Why would the Duke of Han allow me and His Majesty to watch the show in this room? Isn't this a little outrageous? "

Su Qian's lips curled up into a sneer as he glanced at the dark expression on Su Qian Xing's face. "This king naturally has a reason for doing things. Esteemed Empress should watch this scene first. Perhaps at the end, Esteemed Empress will find Lord Zhao's story truly interesting."

"You …"

"Shut up!" Sangua interrupted her with a cold tone, "Listen to him continue."

Lan Ying's body trembled. This time, her lips turned white. She wanted Su Qian Xing to say something, but she couldn't show it too clearly. She could only swallow her anger. "Yes …"
