Yin Jin'an understood that all great beings are capable of enduring loneliness that ordinary people cannot bear.
He said to Jiutian, "I'll try running the Xuan Tian True Scripture first. If it can suppress it to some extent, I might be able to get through it on my own without the sealing talisman in the future."
Jiutian looked at him.
As the moon slowly rose above the horizon at the end of the 5-7 PM hour, Yin Jin'an clearly lost control of himself.
The Nine Heavens placed a five-sense seal on him.
Yin Jin'an's eyes visibly turned black. Although he could not see, hear, or smell anything and had lost his five senses, he could still feel his inner self.
At the hour of Xu (7-9 PM), the moon rises.
Seeing that Yin Jin'an's body was beginning to deform, Jiutian immediately placed a Five Elements Sealing Talisman on him.
Because her five senses were sealed, Yin Jin'an did not lose her mind.
When Jiutian came out of his bedroom, he saw Xiahou Yan, Granny Wei, and others waiting in the courtyard.
Seeing her come out, they all asked anxiously, "How is Master? Is she feeling unwell?"
“I’m not feeling unwell. My second uncle is still fast asleep.” Jiutian said, closing the door behind him. “My second uncle said to hang up all the lanterns in the mansion.”
"Hanging lanterns?"
"Yes, my second uncle said that a lot of people must want to peek, so he told them to look openly."
Xiahou Yan and Granny Wei were skeptical of her words.
With a serious expression, Jiutian said, "You all keep an eye on the yard and don't let any bad guys disturb Second Uncle's sweet dreams."
Xiahou Yan waved his hand, ordering the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to split into several teams and patrol the courtyard all night long, not daring to relax for a moment.
As the bright moon rose, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry clearly sensed that various forces outside the courtyard were spying on them.
Especially the people from the palace, wave after wave, like locusts, seemed eager to get a closer look at Yin Jin'an's face.
Throughout the entire imperial city, apart from Yin Jin'an, countless people were unable to sleep all night.
The common people were not very clear about the Crown Prince's illness, but Emperor Yangsheng knew that his apology to Yin Jin'an during the day was just a delaying tactic.
There were still many surviving secret guards and palace guards in the palace. He ordered his confidants to mobilize many officials in the capital to monitor the area outside the courtyard.
We're just waiting for Yin Jin'an to go crazy so we can catch her red-handed.
However, until the moon rose above the willow branches and began to set in the west, nothing unusual happened at the Crown Prince's residence.
For the first time ever, the lanterns stayed lit all night. The entire prince's residence was quiet, save for the chirping of crickets and the footsteps of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry on patrol.
At the first watch of the night, a scout came to report: "Your Majesty, there is nothing amiss at the First Prince's residence."
At the second watch of the night, a scout came to report: "Your Majesty, there is nothing amiss at the First Prince's residence."
At midnight, a scout reported: "Your Majesty, nothing unusual has happened at the First Prince's residence."
Overnight, the Prince's residence was free from the usual chaos and turmoil.
Emperor Yangsheng and Chu Hanhua had dark circles under their eyes. Empress Chu, who had lost her usual majesty, said anxiously, "What should we do, Your Majesty? Could it be that his mind has recovered and his madness has also been cured?"
Whom could Emperor Yangsheng ask?
His face was gloomy. The Western Xia court assembly started at Chenshi (7:00 AM). He had originally thought that the night was the fifteenth of the first lunar month, a perfect clear day with an exceptionally bright moon, as if even the heavens were on his side.
To everyone's surprise, Yin Jin'an didn't have a seizure.
Unwilling to accept this! He said to Chu Hanhua in a sinister tone, "The fact that he doesn't fall ill means he's a fake crown prince, plotting to usurp the throne."
"But even if he's a fake, His Majesty can't defeat him!"
"..."
If I can't expose the hardships of life, can't I at least put on a last-ditch effort?
If you can't speak, can't you just pretend to be mute?
Wang Can and Gu Bahuang kept watch in the palace, and Emperor Yangsheng dared not make any moves to contact the civil and military officials.
As dawn broke, Wang Can watched Emperor Yangsheng write his abdication edict, but Emperor Yangsheng dragged his feet and refused to write it.
“Wang Can, I am still the emperor, and Xiao Jin’an is my son. If you dare to disobey me, Xiao Jin’an will not let you off.”
"Whether Your Highness spares me or not is entirely up to you. I will only listen to Your Highness." Wang Can was no longer afraid of Emperor Yangsheng. "Your Majesty should hurry up and write the abdication edict."
Wang Can simply drafted the document himself and submitted it to the Ministry of Rites for review. If there were no objections, he ordered Emperor Yangsheng to copy it and affix his imperial seal.
Someone had already gone to the First Prince's residence to report that Emperor Yangsheng was cheating.
However, by the end of Chenshi (7-9 AM), Yin Jin'an had not entered the palace, and Emperor Yangsheng and Chu Hanhua were lively and energetic again.
It must have been a relapse last night; I'm still too weak to get up.
Emperor Yangsheng immediately became smug and ordered his men to contact the three military departments to besiege the First Prince's residence.
Gu Bahuang drew his sword and shouted, "Anyone who dares to leave the palace, I will immediately behead the Emperor and Empress!"
Nobody dares to do it anymore.
Yesterday, Jiutian cast a blood talisman on Yin Jin'an and fainted again, but this time, for some reason, she woke up earlier.
She woke up at the beginning of Chen Shi (7-9 AM) and saw that it was already bright daylight. She was so frightened that she quickly removed the talisman from Yin Jin'an.
The uncle and nephew rubbed their eyes and went out of the bedroom, only to see a yard full of sallow and sallow faces.
Granny Wei, Xiahou Yan, and others did not sleep all night.
Seeing that both uncle and nephew were in high spirits, Xiahou Yan's worries from the previous night turned into extreme joy. He kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, the court assembly in the palace has already begun."
"Prepare the carriage and proceed to the palace!"
