The scene of the fight between the killers and her master appeared in Jing Chunxi's mind again. She seemed to be back in that tense and chaotic scene. She could still hear the crisp sound of weapons clashing and people shouting.

However, she subconsciously followed her master's instructions, trying to gradually blur the fight scene in her mind, making those intense images gradually become blurred. As her consciousness gradually deepened, she had completely placed herself in a dream. The surrounding environment became both illusory and real. She could not even tell whether it was day or night.

She began to observe her surroundings carefully, as if she were actually standing there. She saw it, she saw the eaves and roofs where her master had appeared behind him and the assassins during the fight.

The details gradually became clear in her mind, and she began to describe what she saw: "The animals carved on the eaves are lifelike, there are bats, Pixiu, and fairies riding phoenixes... There seem to be a lot of these animals, I can't see them clearly." Her voice trembled a little, as if she was shocked by the exquisite carvings.

She continued, "The corners of the overhanging eaves are raised high, a vibrant yellow, with mythical beasts standing on them. The pillars of the big house across the road are huge and tall, huge reddish-brown pillars..."

Jing Chunxi continued to talk about something else, but it had nothing to do with the roof structure and seemed insignificant. Jing Yi listened quietly, and gradually understood.

He knew that the mansion in Jing Chunxi's dream was definitely not the Peng Taifu Mansion. Ordinary nobles were not allowed to build such a house, nor could they use the color yellow, otherwise they would be beheaded. His brows knitted slightly, and a hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes.

All the scenes gradually faded from Jing Chunxi's mind, and she slowly opened her eyes. She didn't look at Jing Yi, but at Xiao Lian.

Xiaolian saw Jing Chunxi open his eyes, as if seeking answers from her. She panicked a little, and a look of surprise appeared on her face. Xiaolian shook her head desperately, her words full of disbelief: "Neither the Peng Taifu Mansion nor the Pingyang Marquis Mansion is that beautiful. Miss, you are not talking about the imperial palace, are you?"

Xiaolian hesitated for a moment before speaking the last sentence. The young lady's description was so beautiful, a scene she had never seen before. She thought only an imperial palace could be so beautiful.

Ah Qi also looked at Jing Yi, waiting for his instructions. Jing Yi did not hesitate and said directly: "Lay out the blueprints of Prince Ping's Mansion."

At this time, he was almost certain in his heart that, apart from the imperial palace, the only other house that could be built according to such regulations should be the prince's or prince's mansion.

Ah Qi quickly took the same roll of paper from the chair next to him. Xiao Lian walked forward and slowly spread it out with him, putting the second drawing on top of the first one.

Jing Yi and Jing Chunxi looked towards the backyard almost simultaneously. Following the direction of the courtyard at Peng Taifu's mansion, they soon found a similar courtyard.

Jing Chunxi carefully examined the layout of the courtyard again. After a moment, she said with certainty, "This is it."

Her tone was filled with conviction, having completely confirmed her own judgment. This small courtyard in Prince Ping's mansion was slightly further away from the back garden, slightly set back from the center of the entire residence. There were courtyards on the left, right, and across the road. This layout was exactly the same as Jing Chunxi's dream.

Jing Yi hissed, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He looked at Ah Qi. Then he used his finger to draw a circle around a spot in the front yard, and another around the frontmost yard in the backyard, but he didn't draw the small courtyard Jing Chunxi mentioned.

He said in a deep voice, "Aqi, take Xiaolian out and ask the kitchen to prepare lunch. We will eat together later. Ask them to prepare dinner early as well.

By the way, have Xiao Man go out and tell Chong San that there are changes to tonight's mission. Let everyone have a good meal, rest well, and wait for instructions."

Ah Qi's face was filled with suspicion, and he gave the young lady a strange look. But he knew Jing Yi's orders were unquestionable, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions and immediately gave Xiao Lian a look.

The two men saluted and left.

When the two of them closed the door, only Jing Yi and Jing Chunxi were left in the room. Jing Yi turned his gaze to Jing Chunxi, his eyes becoming serious. He suppressed his excitement and asked softly, "Xi'er said that she went into the basement to collect things in this yard?"

Jing Chunxi nodded without hesitation and pointed to the row of houses in the courtyard. "The entrance is in the second room. It's under the bluestone slab in the corner. At that time, a lot of debris had been put away in the room, so the entrance was open. So whether the slab had some other mechanism or was simply moved away, I don't know."

There was a hint of fatigue in her voice, perhaps because she had just exhausted herself recalling the dream, but her eyes were remarkably determined. She continued, "There are more than a dozen large rooms in the basement, filled with all sorts of treasures. If I didn't have enough space, I wouldn't be able to fit them all in."

Jing Yi let out a long breath. He closed his eyes slightly as usual and then opened them again. A look of regret appeared on his face. He said, "Master, I was negligent. I didn't realize there was another treasure trove in the mansion, and it's the largest one."

He particularly regretted his blind arrogance. He always thought that the people in the Iron Eagle Camp were the best at scouting terrain, but who knew that they neglected this seemingly ordinary courtyard.

"The courtyards on both sides and in front that Xier saw in her dream were all magnificent with carved beams and painted buildings?" Jing Yi confirmed again.

Jing Chunxi nodded firmly and said, "In fact, the row of houses above the basement are the most inconspicuous. They really do look like servants' residences. There are no carved beams and painted rafters, just ordinary houses."

Jing Yi's expression became more serious. He looked at Jing Chunxi and said seriously, "In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, we can't act immediately tonight. We can only wait a little longer. I will take a few people to try again tonight." There was an unquestionable firmness in his tone, and it was obvious that he had made a decision.

Jing Chunxi nodded. She also felt that when doing big things, one shouldn't be too hasty. Haste won't get you anywhere. Only by acting with caution could the mission's success be ensured.

Jing Chunxi still felt a little uneasy in her heart. Suddenly, that vague feeling of unease once again rippled in her heart.

She frowned, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes, and couldn't help but ask, "Are Xiaoman and I going too?" She was already somewhat curious about this dream, even a little eager to experience it herself, but more importantly, she was worried about her master. She knew the danger of this operation, and she couldn't rest assured if she didn't go with her master.

When Jing Yi heard Jing Chunxi's question, he was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said firmly: "I will take Xiaoman with me! In case of any accident or the protection is too strict, he can easily confuse people by pretending to be a eunuch and create opportunities for us." There was a hint of seriousness in his eyes, as if he had made all the preparations.

After Jing Yi finished saying this, he stared at Jing Chunxi very seriously and said word by word: "You stay in the mansion honestly and you can't go anywhere!" His attitude was completely unquestionable and he didn't take Jing Chunxi into consideration at all.

Jing Yi felt that the action would still be full of dangers at this time. He didn't want Jing Chunxi to take risks and just wanted her to stay safely in the mansion.

"How could I be so reckless!" Jing Chunxi said this with a serious tone, her voice soft yet firm, giving the impression of being well-behaved and obedient. Jing Yi looked at her with a look that seemed to confirm her ability, and suddenly felt a little more relaxed towards her. He sighed slightly and nodded, as if acknowledging her words.

Jing Chunxi was not in a hurry, because he knew that his master would not give in so easily.

She continued to look at the blueprints, especially at the houses surrounding the courtyard. Her fingers gently stroked the blueprints, her eyes filled with concentration.

After a while, she suddenly raised her head, with a hint of worry in her eyes, and said softly: "Then Master, please be careful, don't let my mother, Pu Ge'er and I worry.

I have a feeling this courtyard is connected to the three surrounding courtyards by some mechanism. Perhaps if I trigger it here, the other side will know." Her voice was a little low, and she was trying to stay calm. She wasn't talking nonsense; the scene in her dream was simply too strange.

Jing Chunxi paused for a moment and continued, "I dreamed that there were many dead people on the ground. They all looked like assassins or secret guards, but there were still groups of assassins rushing towards me. But I didn't see where they came from."

At the end of her speech, her voice choked up again, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly looked at her master with tears in her eyes, her eyes and face full of sadness and worry. Her tears rolled in her eyes, but she never let them fall, trying hard to control her emotions.

"Don't worry! I won't let anything happen to me!" Jing Yi was inexplicably moved when he heard Jing Chunxi's words. He looked at Jing Chunxi's worried eyes and suddenly felt an urge to protect himself for the sake of his family.

He sighed softly and gently embraced Jing Chunxi with both hands. Jing Chunxi hugged him tightly back, and both of them felt each other's warmth.

At that moment, Jing Yi suddenly felt that it would be nice to have a daughter like this.

It was not until this time that Jing Chunxi gritted her teeth, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes, and she said to Jing Yi: "Master has to take me with him." There was stubbornness in her voice, and it was obvious that she had made up her mind.

Jing Yi was unwilling to do so. The warmth that suddenly appeared in his heart was immediately thrown away by him.

He thought Jing Chunxi was still worried about him, so he stopped him and said, "Xier, Master won't be gone for too long. He just wants to reconfirm. There's no need for so many people." His tone was a little anxious, and he was trying hard to convince Jing Chunxi.

"No, you must take me with you. What if the courtyard I dreamed of isn't in Prince Ping's mansion, or... there are some things that Master might not be able to see, but it's different with the Fairy Aunt." She knew Master's temper, but this time she had to insist. She felt anxious, and the Fairy Aunt had to come to her rescue again.

At this point, Jing Yi couldn't refuse anymore. He looked at Jing Chunxi's determined eyes and sighed inwardly, knowing that she was determined to go this time. He could only put on a frown and ordered sternly: "Then Xi'er must follow the master at all times."

Only when Jing Chunxi nodded affirmatively did Jing Yi finally relax: "Then Xi'er, have a good rest after lunch. We'll have dinner together. We have to leave the inner city early."

Even though he knew the girl was doing this for his own good, he just couldn't be happy.
