Xiao Jingzhao sat in front of his father's bed, his handsome face as cold as ice, and a murderous aura rising in his eyes.

Princess Yannan wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, her voice choked with sobs, "Your Highness, we've never been hated by anyone. Do you know who did this?"

“We are in the open, while the enemy is in the dark. From now on, the errands outside will be handled by the officials in the fiefdom. Kang’er has finally found a doctor and is expected to recover. If anything happens to you, I will not be able to live.”

The princess broke down in tears as she spoke.

The Prince of Yannan lay on his side on the couch, his face pale. Despite his long experience on the battlefield, he was strong-willed and did not appear to be weak.

He said calmly, "The men who came are all suicide soldiers. If it weren't for the fact that the men I brought are all skilled in martial arts, I alone wouldn't have been able to hold them off."

"Mother, please don't cry. Fortunately, Father didn't suffer any internal injuries. My eldest and second sisters will be worried when they see your swollen eyes tomorrow. I know what I'm doing."

Xiao Jingzhao said that his father needed to rest, and after much persuasion, he finally managed to convince his mother to go back to her room to rest.

As soon as Xiao Jingzhao returned to the bedside, the Prince of Yannan snorted and said, "There aren't many people who raise assassins, and there aren't many who want my life either. The one in the capital now sees Yannan as a piece of fat meat, and he wants to kill more than just me."

“Father, I understand. I have already made arrangements. No matter how many assassins he sends, we will make sure they never return.”

After a moment of silence, Xiao Jingzhao leaned down to look at the Prince of Yannan. "Father, what do you think about the matter I mentioned? As long as you agree, I will definitely succeed."

The Prince of Yannan closed his eyes slightly, thinking of his father's dying words, his heart torn between thoughts and reality.

It should only be done as a last resort.

He gritted his teeth and nodded slightly.
