They also had to make arrangements for the 18 Stockaded Villages left behind by An Tu so that they could settle their matters in peace.
“I’ll rest for two days before returning,” he said.
He knew that, although An Jiuyue listened to him, she still wanted to go back.
An Jiuyue nodded and said nothing else.
She had to return eventually. She was worried about many people, including Zheng’er, Rong’er, and the others. The old Emperor was so despicable. Who knew if he would go after them?
Although he was unlikely to succeed, there was always a chance.
“Alright then.”
An Jiuyue nodded. They would wait for two days.
Zheng’er and the others were protected by the warrior-servants, so she was not too worried. Moreover, Yan Nuo had already rushed back with his men.
…
The situation in the capital of Daqing Kingdom was very tense.
The old Emperor accused the Third Prince of killing his brother and father—not only did he kill the Eldest Prince, but he also wanted to kill the Emperor.
The people sitting in the room chuckled at the thought.
“He really says anything!” Xia Junfeng slammed the table with one hand and said coldly.
They were no longer in the capital but hiding in Shang’er Hall in Ding Nuo Academy on the outskirts of the city. Fortunately, they had such a place to hide. Otherwise, the old Emperor might have killed them.
“Is there anything he’s not capable of doing?”
Eldest Brother Yan chuckled and looked at his subordinate, who was standing with his back to the light and reporting on the situation to them.
“Continue. How’s the situation in the capital? How’s my residence? And how’s the Xia family?”
“The residence has been raided, but everyone has evacuated through the secret passage. As for the Xia family…” The subordinate looked up at Xia Junfeng. He did not hesitate much.
“Nothing happened to the Xia family.”
Xia Junfeng pursed his lips.
He knew his father very well. He was an old man who knew how to handle trouble.
When faced with danger, he was like a weather vane, able to placate even the old Emperor. He was probably singing the same tune as the old Emperor in the throne room right now.
“Eldest Brother, you don’t have to worry about my father. You’ve seen how he appeases people.”
Even when the Empress Dowager disliked Eldest Brother Yan’s mother back then, Xia Junfeng’s father was able to persuade her to support Eldest Brother Yan’s succession. Was there any doubt he could handle the old emperor?
Eldest Brother Yan only glanced at Xia Junfeng with a dark expression.
“I’m not afraid that the Emperor will attack Lord Xia. It’s just that your mother…” He did not finish his sentence.
Xia Junfeng had broken into the prison like a lunatic to rescue him. The Xia family was instantly thrust into the limelight.
How could he not be worried? Who could withstand the old Emperor’s wrath?
“He even dared to kill my grandmother!” he said.
Xia Junfeng exhaled heavily. They did not expect the old Emperor to suddenly turn on them.
“Eldest Brother, I’ve always found it strange. How did the Emperor know that we’re on good terms with Second Brother? Could it be news from Huayan Peak?”
He still could not understand why the old Emperor suddenly attacked Eldest Brother Yan.
Outsiders have always perceived the brothers’ relationship as extremely distant. They rarely interacted with each other except in the royal court.
