Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1147: Chapter 1148: At this moment, it’s a good time to take advantage of the situation

Su Yi Jing was now with An Yiqing in Xiao Changyi’s embrace. As soon as the Emperor of Xiyun tried to hold him, he clung tighter to Xiao Changyi, clearly not wanting the Emperor of Xiyun to hold him.

The Emperor of Xiyun was initially stunned, then tried to hold An Yiqing, but An Yiqing also refused to be held.

Xiao Changyi said indifferently, ”They were scared and are still afraid; they won’t let you hold them.”

It was then that the Emperor of Xiyun no longer tried to hold any of the children. Instead, he exclaimed angrily, ”What is going on with Meng Lanqing? How did so many assassins infiltrate his general’s residence? Look what a state the children are in!”

Xiao Changyi did not want to discuss such unpleasant matters in front of the children, so he intended to hand the two children in his embrace to An Jing, and then take the Emperor of Xiyun and Su Chengyu to the study to discuss matters. However, the two children refused to leave his embrace.

”Daddy, hug...need a hug...afraid...we are afraid...” Su Yi Jing and An Yiqing both looked as if they were about to cry again, appearing pitifully helpless.

Xiao Changyi patiently said, ”Dad is going out to talk to your grandfather and second uncle. You stay with mom now, and when dad comes back, he will let you hug him again, okay?”

Su Yi Jing and An Yiqing immediately shook their heads, their already red deer-like eyes becoming even redder. Tears were gathering in their eyes, ready to fall.

”We are scared... Mom alone cannot protect us four...we need dad and mom together...we need to stay together...” they sobbed, holding Xiao Changyi even tighter, clearly not letting him leave.

The children were feeling extremely insecure now. Hearing such pitiful and particularly frightened words from the children, Xiao Changyi immediately compromised and soothed them gently, ”Alright, dad won’t leave, don’t be scared.”

”Okay~” An Yiqing and Su Yi Jing immediately turned from tears to smiles.

Xiao Changyi first freed one hand to wipe away the tears of the two little ones in his embrace, then held them close again. Then, he looked up and said to the Emperor of Xiyun and Su Chengyu, ”Meng Lanqing has not completely figured it out yet; we only know that one of the assassins has a red flame-shaped mark on the sole of his foot. If these people are not from Chilin Kingdom, then someone is trying to frame Chilin Kingdom.”

Pausing for a moment, Xiao Changyi then said, ”The targets of those assassins were Jing Er and me.”

If the assassins had succeeded that day, it would have meant the deaths of Xiao Changyi and An Jing.

In everyone’s eyes, Xiao Changyi was the best at war in Xiyun. Should anything happen to Xiao Changyi, the neighboring countries would likely be stirred to action, the consequences of which were unimaginable.

The Emperor of Xiyun and Su Chengyu were deeply shocked.

Xiao Changyi fell silent for a moment before saying to Su Chengyu, ”Your ascension to the throne is imminent. Regardless of whether or not this was the doing of Chilin, we must pay close attention to Chilin. Furthermore, the Imperial Capital must be put under martial law. There must be no mishaps during your coronation.”

Su Chengyu immediately said, ”Don’t worry, Brother Yi, I will arrange all of this.”

Xiao Changyi was still a bit worried as he admonished, ”Before the coronation ceremony is over, both of you mustn’t leave the palace again. So many assassins suddenly appeared; there might still be more in the Capital. It’s not safe for you to leave the palace.”

Now, the most important matter in Xiyun was Su Chengyu’s coronation ceremony as the New Emperor. All of Xiyun was focused on the upcoming event, making it a very suitable time for those with intentions to take advantage of the situation.
