After a period of bombardment and sympathy from the family, the old man was ordered not to get out of bed for two days.

Axiu took it upon himself to be responsible for supervising, suddenly leaping out of every corner whenever the old man tried to sneak out of bed. He wouldn't speak, just stared quietly at the old man.

Grandpa: "…" Silently shrank back to lie down.

It was too haunting; he was guarded all-round with no dead ends nor loopholes.

After lunch, the family sat in the hall gossiping and chattering, keeping the old man company so he wouldn't get bored.

"The riot that Grandpa ran into today may be related to the capital." Looking at the old man's splinted calf, Qian Wanjin rarely took on a serious front.

"The capital?" Grandma was appalled. "Has something big happened?"

The family all glanced at Qian Wanjin.

Where was the capital? It was the Imperial City, at the foot of the Emperor!

"I just received the news this morning. I heard that that person isn't very well. He has been sick for several years and now his condition is worsening again. I don't know how much longer he can last." Speaking of that person, Qian Wanjin pointed his finger to the sky. "The situation in the capital has become very tense. The royal children are all ruthlessly itching for action. With one thing leading to another, every corner of Nanling will definitely not be quiet either!"

The Liu family was petrified by this news.

The capital and the Emperor were far off from their world. He was an existence they could only look up to, but they were living under the Emperor's jurisdiction and were Nanling citizens.

Suddenly hearing something out of the question, their hearts were as turbulent as the tossing and turning of the sea.

"When immortals come to blows, the mortals suffer. A storm is brewing now. At present, he has 16 children. The oldest is already leading an independent life and the youngest is heard to be only 10 years old or so. However, the fact that the Crown Prince has never been established to this day has led all parties vying for that position. I don't know how many of them will survive in the end after this fight."

This was the Liu family. If it were others, Qian Wanjin would never have spoken thoroughly and straightforwardly without defense.

Even the old man sucked in a breath of cold air, frightened by the bloody cruelty of the royal children's seizure of the throne.

Who knew how many would survive in the end? The words painted a picture for the Liu family who lived in the calm and ordinary countryside that had never been seen before.

That picture was cold, brutal, and bloodthirsty.

Liu Yusheng gently closed her eyes and exhaled. Since ancient times, the seizure of the throne has been a bloody affair, with the princes stepping on countless bones in their every step upwards.

And they were now living under such circumstances.

"Why has there been no Crown Prince till now?" She asked.

"I don't know." Qian Wanjin shook his head and paused. "But there's a rumor among the people, which I'm not sure whether it's true or not. It's said that the Emperor's move is to protect his favorite son. If the prince dies in an accident, everyone in the royal family won't be entitled to the throne. For this reason, the Emperor wrote a secret decree long ago. It's unknown what exactly it entailed."
