An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

"Miss, it's already the ninth day. The King of Yan should be here by now."

It was just dawn when Jing Chunxi came out of the house to get breakfast. He was slightly startled when he saw Qingfeng standing at the door.

Qingfeng looked a little tired in the morning light. He must have been waiting here before dawn.

She greeted softly, "Qingfeng, you should ask Xiaoman to take your place. Don't get tired." Qingfeng heard Jing Chunxi's concern and a smile appeared on his face, but it was a little forced. He said, "Miss, I'm worried that something went wrong with the King of Yan."

Qingfeng didn't dare say that, despite the coffin being surrounded by ice basins and the lid nailed shut, the body was already emitting a foul odor in the sweltering heat. Even from a distance, he could still detect the odor if he got closer. Delaying too long wasn't an option. He even met with Green Shadow and Quick Foot to discuss whether to secretly swap bodies.

Qingfeng poked his head into the door and asked tentatively in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Miss, is the master okay?" The worry and anxiety in his voice were very obvious. Although they knew that the master's life was safe, they were still uneasy because they couldn't see it with their own eyes. They always wondered if the young lady would lie to them again.

"It's okay, we just have to wait for the Prince of Yan. The prince said that the Prince of Yan will definitely come, and it should be in the next two days." This was indeed what Xu Zize said. When he woke up for the first time, Xu Zize asked about the latest situation outside.

Jing Chunxi naturally spoke the truth, detailing her arrangements in detail, describing how she arranged the mourning hall, how she arranged the staff, and how she would deal with possible emergencies.

After listening to this, Xu Zize nodded slightly with approval and said, "Xier did the right thing! That person wanted me dead simply to destroy my father's confidence in one fell swoop and make him unable to recover and fight back." Jing Chunxi was shocked when she heard this. She understood who Xu Zize was talking about "that person".

It is true that vicious people are lingering around.

He had done something wrong and felt guilty, so he was always worried that someone else would take his place. Naturally, he was in a state of panic all day long, even dreaming that the King of Yan would overthrow his throne. That was why he was so restless every day.

Jing Chunxi sighed as he thought about this and said, "Could it be that that bastard knew you were back in the capital? And followed us all the way?"

If this is the case, it will be difficult to deal with. If Xu Zize left Lingnan, it would be considered as crossing the border. If the King of Yan came because of this matter, would he be accused of rebellion and punished?

Xu Zize thought for a moment and said with certainty, "If he had discovered us earlier, he wouldn't have waited until today to act." He paused, then continued, "However, this assassination attempt also proves that he's very afraid of my father, and he specifically sent people to ambush us at the key roads leading in and out of Lingnan. If Brother Xiaokang, my father, or any of our people were identified by them, they would definitely have taken such a ruthless action, and they would have a reason to assassinate them."

"Shouldn't we stop Prince Yan from coming?" Jing Chunxi was very worried. After all, this place was beyond the territory of Lingnan.

Xu Zize shook his head. "It was me who crossed the line, not my father. I haven't even come of age yet, so it's understandable."

He added, "So, Xi'er was right to set up the mourning hall. The Prince of Yan crossed the border for the deceased Crown Prince in order to carry the coffin back to Lingnan. The dead are the most important, so he didn't dare to act. If he dared to act, it would inevitably lead to criticism from the court officials. If the Prince of Yan caused trouble again, the people would not let it go, and he would definitely lose their support."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "In fact, after losing several cities and killing so many old ministers, coupled with the events of Jiujiang and Jian'an counties, he no longer has much support from the people, so he will resort to desperate measures."

Jing Chunxi nodded. Although she didn't understand much about the court, she felt happy when she heard Xu Zize say that the "bastard emperor" didn't have much support from the people. Only at times like this did she feel that the Jing family's hope was not far away.

Xu Zize wouldn't let her accompany him that day, so Jing Chunxi was mostly busy outside. She even went to the mourning hall to burn a few sticks of incense, as a way of thanking the deceased in the coffin. She pretended to wipe away a few tears, but she absolutely refused to kneel.

She knew in her heart that all this was for the overall situation, for Xu Zize's safety, and for the future of the Jing family.

She stood in front of the mourning hall, looking at the coffin, praying silently in her heart, hoping that King Yan would arrive soon and that everything would go according to her plan.

It was almost dark when Luying came riding in from the official road outside and just saw Jing Chunxi sitting in the yard to enjoy the cool air after having a full meal.

He quickly stepped forward and bowed, a faint smile on his face: "Prince Yan has brought his troops. It looks like there are about three or four hundred of them."

Jing Chunxi immediately stood up, a hint of surprise on his face, and said, "You guys wait outside. When Prince Yan has offered incense, bring him over to see the Crown Prince."

"Really!" Hearing that she could see the Crown Prince, Lu Ying's heart pounded, and the corners of her mouth curved up. Jing Chunxi quickly warned, "Don't laugh! Tell them not to reveal any flaws. Also, only let the Prince of Yan in." Finally, he added, "The Crown Prince said so," which further emphasized the seriousness of the situation.

In the space, Xu Zize was lying on a hospital bed. His wounds had completely healed, but it would take some time for the scars to fade. However, his recovery speed was more than three times faster than in the mortal world.

In order not to reveal his flaws in front of King Yan, he said to Jing Chunxi beside him, "Help me tie up my shoulders and abdomen again, and apply some wound medicine on them."

Fortunately, they had already taken into account the time when King Yan would arrive, and the blood-stained cloth strips had already dried up. All they had to do was wrap them around the cloth and spray some medicine on them. Jing Chunxi finished it quickly.

Xu Zize looked at Jing Chunxi's skillful movements and couldn't help but feel that she had paid too much for him during this period of time.

He whispered, "Xi'er, when this is over, I will definitely make it up to you." Jing Chunxi raised her head and looked at him speechlessly, "I don't need compensation, as long as you are safe."

When everything was ready, Jing Chunxi moved his mind, and the two of them returned from the sterile room to the bed in the east room. Xu Zize lay on the bed, wrapped in bandages, looking as if he had just been injured, but his skin color was almost the same as before. Jing Chunxi sighed, "Brother Xiaokang is so handsome."

If Xu Zize had heard this before, he would have definitely curled his lips. But now, thinking about it, he simply sat up again, untied his headband, and messed up his hair. Seeing Jing Chunxi smiled and nodded at him, he pretended to be weak and lay down again.

Jing Chunxi sat on the edge of the bed, listening quietly to the noise outside, waiting for the arrival of King Yan.

She was both nervous and expectant. She was nervous in case something went wrong, but she was expectant that she could finally meet the King of Yan. However, she was also extremely uneasy.

Seeing the uneasiness on her face, Xu Zize reached out from under the quilt and held her hand tightly in his palm: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
