At the same time, a lot of things happened on Jiang Zuiyao's side.

Qing'er was sent away safely, and Zhang Zinuo's injuries were almost healed now. Shao Ziqing took them out of the house in the mountains and forests, and went to the most prosperous town in the country, where they bought a palace.

It is said that this palace was once the residence of a prince during the dynasty. Now that the dynasty collapsed, this palace has been idle for a long time. When the dynasty collapsed, a large number of thieves captured the imperial city, and this palace was no exception.

It was occupied by others, and Shao Ziqing also spent a lot of money to buy it.

Shao Ziqing founded the "Zhao" organization, but it was not secretive at all. It could be said that it was open and honest. The word "Zhao" was engraved on the plaque on the palace wall.

Jiang Zuiyao now lives in the main hall on the east side of the palace, which is also her future dormitory. The main hall is surrounded by flowers like inverted bells. The calyx is white, with a translucent luster like bone china, and the top of the petals is a circle of different shades of lavender.

, as dyed as natural.

Jiang Zuiyao was wearing black clothes with lotus patterns embroidered on them. Now she was a member of the "Zhao" organization, and Shao Ziqing gave her a new code name - Lian.

Chi Rong walked in, holding a brocade box in his hand, opened it in front of Jiang Zuiyao, took out a ring and said: "Young madam, this ring represents your identity. You must wear it every day in the future."

It was a ring made of obsidian. The ring was inlaid with a circle of sparkling white gems. A lotus flower was carved in the center of the ring, representing Jiang Zuiyao's identity.

Jiang Zuiyao took it, looked at it carelessly, and put it on her index finger. At this time, Chirong took out another token from the brocade box and said, "This token also represents your identity. Please be sure to

Put it away."

When I took the token and took a look, I saw that the copper token was heavy in my hand, with a large Chinese character "Zhao" engraved on the front and a lifelike lotus engraved on the back.

Jiang Zuiyao still didn't take it to heart, put it in the brocade box, and asked: "Are we going to live in this country forever in the future?"

Chi Rong nodded: "Yes."

The country is a good place. There is no one to rule here, there are no laws, and the undercurrents under freedom are surging. It is suitable for Shao Ziqing's "Zhao" to work here.

Chi Rong looked around the hall and asked, "Young madam, are you satisfied with your residence? If you feel there is something wrong, I will take care of it."

Jiang Zuiyao looked around. The main hall was made of twenty-eight nanmu trees, with golden glazed tiles on the roof, towering phoenix golden osmanthus trees on both sides, and delicately carved white marble railings and bases, not to mention the carved beams and painted pillars.

Under the luxury and splendor, Jiang Zuiyao's eyes fell on the inner pillars of the main hall. Each pillar was engraved with a spiraling, lifelike golden phoenix, which was particularly spectacular. I heard that this palace was once the place where the prince's most favored princess was.

So it is naturally magnificent.

But for Jiang Zuiyao, she never felt happy for a moment, and she replied lightly: "Very good, very satisfied."

Chi Rong could see that Jiang Zuiyao was distracted, but he didn't say much and said: "Now the young master is busy recruiting talents. You can come and go freely around the palace, but you cannot go out."

Jiang Zuiyao had heard about this for a long time, and Shao Ziqing had already put up a sign outside the palace. Anyone with skills could join "Zhao" and work for Shao Ziqing in the future. Of course, the rewards would be very generous.

Jiang Zuiyao naturally chose to wait and see what happened and said: "Okay."

Chi Rong left, Jiang Zuiyao looked at the ring on her index finger, and her face turned completely cold.

Her current identity is complicated. She is the legitimate daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, the daughter-in-law of the Shao Mansion, the Jin Ning of the Imperial City Department, the totem on her arm, and the lotus obsidian ring on her index finger.

Who is she?

Even she herself was hesitant, but in the final analysis, Jiang Zuiyao didn't like every identity. She had never gotten what she wanted.

Seven or eight days later, at night, Jiang Zuiyao was sitting in front of the dressing table combing her hair, preparing to rest, when Shao Ziqing came.

Jiang Zuiyao just glanced at him lightly. She knew that today, if he came to her residence at night, he would not think anything wrong about her.

Shao Ziqing looked very tired. It could be seen from his tired face that his body was a little overwhelmed. When he came in, he found a chair and sat down. He was piled there, very tired.

Jiang Zuiyao ignored him and combed her hair as if he was nothing.

It was April in this country, and the night was still a bit cold. Shao Ziqing tightened the black cloak around him and said, "You will set off back to Zhaojing tomorrow."

The hand holding the comb suddenly stopped in the black hair. Jiang Zuiyao immediately asked seriously: "What are you doing back in Zhaojing?"

Shao Ziqing was still slumped on the chair and replied lazily: "Bring over the things from your Zui Yao Pavilion."

Jiang Zuiyao immediately understood what Shao Ziqing was thinking, and sat in front of the dressing table in deep thought.

When Shao Ziqing saw that she didn't reply, he turned to look at her and said, regardless of whether she was willing or not, "I can't support you in vain, you have to do your best for me."

Jiang Zuiyao frowned in disgust: "You support me? When did I need you to support me? You asked me to come."

Shao Ziqing leaned on the armrest of the chair and sat up straight, saying: "I want you here because of your ability. If you can't do things for me, what's the use of you? What's more, you and I are

We are husband and wife, and it is your duty to do things for me."

As soon as these words came out, there was a "clang" sound, and Jiang Zuiyao angrily threw the comb in her hand on the dressing table to vent her dissatisfaction.

Shao Ziqing was not angry when he saw this, but instead smiled evilly: "What? You don't want to be my woman? Haha, Jiang Zuiyao, I said, you will never escape from my grasp in this life."

Jiang Zuiyao had no intention of telling him this. She gritted her teeth and said coldly, "Just tell me what to do, and don't say anything that makes me sick."

"Leave to Zhaojing tomorrow and bring all your things with you. You are not allowed to stay in Zhaojing for a long time, and you are not allowed to see people you shouldn't see." Shao Ziqing ordered neatly.

Jiang Zuiyao frowned: "Who knows the person you shouldn't see?"

Shao Ziqing's face darkened: "Now that you are the Lian of Zhao, you are no longer the Jin Ning of the Imperial City Division. You and I are both treasonous traitors. Now that you have left the Imperial City Division and disappeared, they have

I've been looking for you all over my country, so it's not safe for you to return to Zhaojing. I will send someone to protect you."

Jiang Zuiyao knew very well that now in this country, the Imperial City Division sent people to search for her, but it was just to show Shao Ziqing, not to really catch her. After all, she still had to report Shao Ziqing's every move to the Imperial City Division.

, so even if she returns to Zhaojing, nothing will really happen.

But then, Shao Ziqing said in a solemn tone: "As for who you shouldn't see, you know in your heart, Jiang Zuiyao, if you dare to have anything to do with him again, or do anything to betray me, I will mention it

Hold his head and give you a big gift!"

Although Jiang Zuiyao knew who Shao Ziqing was talking about, she immediately said angrily: "How dare you!"

Shao Ziqing said unscrupulously: "Why don't I dare? I can even do treason, what else can't I dare to do? He is just an amateur with no skills. If I want to kill him,

It's so simple, do you still expect him to use his medical skills to kill me?"

Jiang Zuiyao couldn't help but clenched her teeth with hatred. For a person like Shao Ziqing, he could do anything when pressed.

Jiang Zuiyao stopped pursuing this issue and said calmly: "I want to see Chu Yi."
