In half a month, she should be heading to the capital. Should I inform her in advance?
That night, the night of Emperor Ling Zhiyuan's birthday banquet, he would also be present in the palace. Their visit was likely to end in disaster; to put it bluntly, they planned to take advantage of the relaxed security during the palace celebration to carry out their assassination and seek revenge.
This was the result of discussions among Ling Yuxuan, Qin Ming, and Old Man Mo.
Although it was impossible to calculate the exact odds of success for their group, this was indeed the only good opportunity available at the moment. Opportunities like this are fleeting and do not come again.
Just like half a month ago outside Chu County, when he could have easily taken someone's head; it would have been a simple matter.
However, due to an inexplicable strange emotion that arose deep within his soul at that time, he let that person go. If they waited any longer, they might not encounter such a favorable opportunity again for a long time.
Thus, after careful consideration and repeated deliberation, they ultimately decided to launch their revenge on the night of Ling Zhiyuan's birthday.
During these past two weeks, aside from protecting Ziyan's family, Ling Yuxuan spent most of his time conspiring with Qin Ming and others, preparing for how to storm into Ling Zhiyuan's palace.
Life is like a play, and a play is like life. What kind of turning point awaits Ling Yuxuan and Ziyan in half a month?
At this moment, none of them knew. They could only wait quietly for that day to arrive!
The feud between Hengfeng County and Zi Lao Er has come to a conclusion; Zi Lao Er's fate is sealed, and all they can do is hope for a miracle!
However, according to Mo the Divine Physician's detailed diagnosis, such a miracle seems unlikely.
Yet Ling Yuxuan still holds onto hope because he knows that if his beloved child were aware of this situation, she would share the same fantasy with him.
Chu County.
Qingfeng Tower is now thriving, with countless scholars and poets coming here to discuss poetry and appreciate art. People of this era are fond of the saying that if one is not romantic in youth, it is a waste of their youth, so the young talents visiting this brothel do not feel ashamed.
On the contrary, during the short half-month since Ziyan renovated Qingfeng Tower, the young talents of Chu County have been eagerly boasting about how they can visit Qingfeng Tower every few days.
They take great pride in being able to frequently discuss poetry and painting at Qingfeng Tower and savor delicacies they had never tasted before.
Thus, at this moment, Qingfeng Tower has become a must-visit place for scholars and poets.
Ziyan often sits alone or is accompanied by Strongman Wu Xiang or Qi Yu, enjoying a leisurely time on the third floor by the window, admiring the vibrant flowers and the bustling scenes in the courtyard of Qingfeng Tower.
In another half month, she will leave this place for a short time to go to the capital.
Ziyan has arranged her schedule very tightly. In the next month, the training work at the back mountain will still be handled by Chef Hong Gang.
Of course, the business at Drunken Immortal Residence has not been delayed. Although Chef's duties have temporarily been taken over by Hong Gang's former assistant, business remains as good as ever and has not been affected by Hong Gang's absence.
Ziyan intends to withdraw Hong Gang from Drunken Immortal Residence. She has more important tasks for him in the future; for now, he will be responsible for training students. Other matters can be discussed later! Time never waits for anyone, and soon this half month will pass quickly.
During this short half month, Ziyan has already planned all the dishes for the banquet in the capital. Starting today, she leads Qi Yu, Xu Feng, and several guards known as Death Warriors, as they travel day and night towards the capital.
After nearly eight days of travel, Ziyan finally arrived at the capital.
As soon as they reached the city gate, several groups of people on tall horses blocked their carriage. The coachman bowed respectfully to those dressed in luxurious garments who obstructed their path.
Then, with a smile, he asked, "May I ask what brings you gentlemen and ladies to block my master's carriage?"
"This King is friends with your master, so I came out of the city to welcome you."
Inside the carriage, Ziyan heard the sound and immediately recognized who was coming. She lifted the curtain and poked her head out, ready to greet the person.
Just as she was about to speak, she saw a petite figure jump down from beside Ling Feng and quickly hop onto her carriage.
Upon closer inspection, Ziyan realized it was none other than Princess Ling Yuer, who she had just parted with about a month ago.
"Ziyan sister, I've missed you so much!"
Ling Yuer said as she affectionately squeezed herself next to Ziyan, wrapping her arms around her, catching Ziyan slightly off guard.
"What's wrong? Don't you welcome your sister?"
Seeing that Ziyan didn't respond and was staring at her with wide eyes as if she were a monster, Ling Yuer pouted playfully.
"No, it's just that the Princess is so enthusiastic; Ziyan feels quite flustered!"
Ziyan quickly smiled and joked back at Ling Yuer.
"Come on, you just dislike this princess. Sigh, but I really have missed you, Ziyan. By the way, where is Ling Gongzi? Didn't he come with you this time?"
Ling Yuer blinked her innocent and cute eyes, making Ziyan feel a pang of sympathy.
In her heart, she couldn't help but think: How could such a charming and lovely princess not catch the attention of my subordinate Strongman? It's truly strange.
"Hey—Ziyan, Little Ziyan! What are you thinking about?" Ling Yuer noticed Ziyan's thoughtful expression and became very curious.
"Uh? Oh, nothing, Princess. I might just be a bit tired from the journey; my head feels a little fuzzy."
Ziyan could only find a casual excuse to brush it off.
“Oh, I see. Then let’s hurry into the city!”
Ling Yuer looked at Ziyan with concern, then turned to Ling Feng and the others outside the carriage, saying, “Sixth Brother, Miss Zi seems a bit tired from the journey. Let’s not waste time here and head back to the residence quickly.”
“Uh? Back to the residence? No.” Upon hearing "back to the residence," Ziyan immediately understood that they might take her to Xiang Wang Fu, so she leaned out and instructed Xiang Wang Lingfeng, who had already turned the horse around, “That Xiang Wang Ye, please let me stay on the third floor of ‘Zi Family Spiced Braise’. I prefer it there.”
Xiang Wang Lingfeng understood Ziyan's words very well; she clearly wanted to draw a line with him. Fine, let her have her way.
Thinking this, Xiang Wang Lingfeng turned back and nodded lightly, then rode his White Horse ahead to personally lead the Caravan.
Ling Yuer glanced at her brother and then at Ziyan, unable to help but pout, “Does Ziyan really avoid us siblings so much? I’m two years older than you and genuinely consider you my sister. Actually, Ling Gongzi is also my—”
Ling Yuer initially intended to say that Ling Gongzi was also her brother. However, as soon as she said it, she realized she had gone too far. Her brother Brother Yuxuan currently had an awkward identity, and she shouldn’t have mentioned his name.
“Princess’s kindness towards Ziyan, I will never forget. There’s no avoidance; it’s just that His Highness, the King of Xiang is still unmarried. How can a single woman like me casually stay in his residence? That would be detrimental to both his and my reputation. Wouldn’t it? My dear Sister Yuer!”
“Ah? Hehehe! Right, right, right! It’s me, the elder sister, who was thinking too simply. I love being called Sister Yuer. From now on, just call me that and don’t call me Princess, Princess. This lady—no, this sister doesn’t like it. Hehe—”
“Yes! My Sister Yuer!”
Ziyan found it somewhat amusing as she looked at this royal darling who was simple-minded yet extremely cute and kind-hearted.
“Wow wow wow—sounds good! From now on, I’ll call you that too, Sister Yan. Hehehe—”
Ling Yuer laughed as if completely carefree.
Under Heaven Mo Gui Wang Shi, who crossed over from Otherworld, always thought that all royal family members, from the emperor to the royal children, would possess a serious sense of superiority.
Now that she finally had a chance to see them, it turned out that there were also simple-minded, cute, and kind-hearted children among the royal family. At least these two brothers in front of her seemed to be relatively kind individuals.
From the first day she met Princess Ling Yuer, Ziyan had never seen her act pretentious or display an air of superiority, nor did she speak aggressively.
It must be that either Ziyan was incredibly lucky or that the other party was truly a simple and pure-hearted person.
Thus, the more Ziyan thought about it, the more she began to develop feelings of affection and trust towards Ling Yuer.
This is good; tomorrow she would probably be busy in the palace. With such a pair of siblings looking out for her, her safety would be further assured.
She had heard that many people could enter the palace safely, but leaving without a scratch was not so easy! Moreover, the last time she entered the capital was over two years ago, during which she experienced being kidnapped to the Eastern Palace.
Eastern Palace? Crown Prince Ling Xianjun. Just thinking about him made Ziyan shiver inexplicably. She hoped he wouldn’t know about her arrival; she really didn’t want to see him again.
Amitabha, may the Bodhisattva bless! May Heaven bless this girl! Let me enter safely and exit safely as well. Sigh—
Ziyan kept sighing in her heart. How could she have forgotten about this Crown Prince over the past two years?
Hopefully, she wouldn’t run into him! Ziyan repeatedly comforted herself, but the more she reassured herself, the stronger an inexplicable unease and strange premonition grew within her.
