As for Xiao Jin'an, he was described as having a "demonic appearance" and being a "monster." The four-year-old child had his food tampered with by Chu Hanhua's people, and he gradually became abnormal.

Xiao Jin'an would go mad and howl every full moon night. Chu Hanhua said, "Your Majesty, look, he is a demon, a demon born of Wei Mu."

Emperor Yangsheng was greatly alarmed. Indeed, this howl reminded him of the wolf howls he had heard when he fled into the Tianshan Mountains.

The Taoist priest then did some divination and said, shaking his head, "Yin Jin'an and Xiao Jin'an are from the same source and are both demons. With Yin Jin'an dead and Xiao Jin'an having lost her mind, Your Majesty can rest easy."

If it weren't for the people Wei Mu left behind who risked their lives to protect Xiao Jin'an, he wouldn't have lived for more than a few years.

Ten years ago, Chu Hanyu, the legitimate daughter of a collateral branch of the Chu family, married the Prince of Huainan of Yulong Kingdom as a concubine. Through the matchmaking of Concubine Chu, Xixia Kingdom and Yulong Kingdom signed a trade cooperation agreement, and Chu Hanyu's status rose accordingly.

There was a strong call for Chu Hanhua's eldest son, Chu Hongli, to be made crown prince, but Emperor Yangsheng never appointed a crown prince, and the court officials did not understand why.

Half a year ago, Xiao Jin'an was summoned by Emperor Yangsheng under the pretext of avoiding the guards and personal nanny that Wei Musheng had left for Xiao Jin'an. Then, Xiao Jin'an was secretly taken out of the palace in Cui Shilang's carriage.

As for being sent to Longmen Town, it was because Vice Minister Cui, in order to curry favor with the powerful minister Chu Jiang, volunteered to send Xiao Jin'an there to die.

When Xiao Jin'an arrived in Longmen Town, no one knew about it except the Chu family and Minister Cui.

...

Yin Jin'an spent the whole night processing his situation. Xiao Jin'an was a fool; he didn't have much useful information left in his mind.

However, he understood that the fact that both of them were named Jin'an was not a coincidence, but rather that there was some kind of connection between them.

However, Yin Jin'an didn't know either, nor did Xiao Jin'an know which country Yulong Kingdom was or where it was located.

When Yin Jin'an died, there were only states like Da Gan and Xi Xia.

(Nine Heavens: The memories brought by my second uncle are only from my past life)

Huainan should be a place of great dynamism, right? But I don't think they ever appointed a King of Huainan!

Also, how can he go back now that he looks like this? If he sees Xie Zhaozhao and Li Yunmu, will they recognize him?

It's impossible for him to recognize her. This face doesn't resemble him, Yin Jin'an, at all. He wouldn't recognize her either.

They would certainly be seen as spies of the Western Xia.

My head hurts!

At the hour of Yin (3-5 AM), Jiutian woke up on time and opened his eyes to adjust to the scene before him.

Uncle isn't asleep? His breathing is still heavy.

"Second Uncle, you didn't sleep all night?"

Jiutian lit the candles in the inn, and in an instant, the candlelight illuminated the entire room, including Yin Jin'an.

His posture was not much different from when he slept last night; he was still leaning against the bed, frowning, with his eyes closed.

but--

"You're a child, you're still growing, sleep a little longer."

"Second Uncle, I wake up at 3 AM every day."

Jiutian was overjoyed to hear that Yin Jin'an's voice had calmed down.

He put on his little Taoist robe, walked up to Yin Jin'an, and said, "Second Uncle, could you help me button up my clothes?"

Yin Jin'an finally opened her eyes, sat up, and helped her fasten the buttons on her slanted jacket.

Jiutian went to wash his face and also wrung out a cloth for Yin Jin'an to wipe his face.

Yin Jin'an wiped her face and handed the cloth to Jiu Tian.

"Second Uncle, I'm starting to meditate and chant scriptures!"

"Okay, you go ahead and do your thing."

Yin Jin'an looked at Jiutian and listened to her chanting in a childish voice. He didn't know what she was chanting, nor did he understand it, but he thought it sounded quite nice.

Amidst the chanting of sutras throughout the nine heavens, Yin Jin'an gradually calmed down and fell into a deep sleep.

No dreams, just a peaceful life.

It was still early, and many people in the town had not yet gotten up to work in the fields.

"Idiot! #￥￥%……&……"

A series of sharp, shrill noises suddenly rang out at the entrance of the inn.

Jiutian couldn't quite understand what the other person was saying, but it was a series of angry screams and vicious curses.

She continued to meditate quietly, unaffected, without even stopping the chanting.

However, the noise was fierce, involving both men and women, and it was coming towards the inn.

Fortunately, the inn's door was closed.

"Knock knock knock"

The inn's outer door was being pounded on so hard it almost fell off.

"Who is it? What's all the noise about?" Manager Sheng runs an inn in town, and his family has some financial backing.

Soon, four or five burly men got up, splashed cold water on their faces to wake themselves up, and walked violently toward the door, carrying sticks in their hands.

There are several major setbacks in life: first, the hatred of killing one's father; second, the resentment of having one's wife stolen; and third, morning grumpiness... disturbing one's sleep first thing in the morning, I'll kill your ancestor!
