Chapter 763: The Real Crown Prince Is…
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xue Yan and Jiang Yue did not say anything.
Shao Shuting continued to smile. “Actually, I also want to apologize to you on his behalf. The jade pendant was yours at first and he took it from you. He knew that you had it with you since you were young, but he didn’t give it back to you.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were puzzled.
However, they did not ask anything. Shao Shuting would obviously explain himself next, so there was no need for them to ask.
Sure enough, Shao Shuting continued, “In fact, that jade pendant was one of my sister’s dowry. When her son was born, my sister gave it to him. In fact, this jade pendant is not yours, but originally belonged to the Crown Prince.” ‘This meant that Xue Yan’s jade pendant was part of Empress Shao’s dowry…’ Jiang Yue was really convinced that Xue Yan was the Crown Prince.
She couldn’t help but help Xue Yan ask, “If it was originally his, then why did that jade pendant follow Xue Yan from when he was still in swaddling clothes?”
Even though Xue Yan also wanted to ask this question, he felt that Jiang Yue was already doing all the questioning. It was as if she wanted to confirm something. Was he really the Crown Prince?
However, the blood test has already been done. Wei Zizhan was already confirmed to be His Highness the Crown Prince, so why did she still want to ask questions?
She was not someone who would suspect or confirm anything for no reason…
Could it be… Because a blood test was not reliable at all!
Thinking of this, Xue Yan’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately looked toward Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue came from another world, a world that was much more advanced than this one. It was very magical and knew many things and theories that he didn’t know. For example, quilts wouldn’t generate heat on their own, and the butterfly effect. So, was it really not reliable to use that blood test?
Jiang Yue saw Xue Yan suddenly look at her and knew that he had figured out something else. She did not say anything to him and only glanced at him.
The two people had a tacit understanding. Xue Yan naturally knew that everything she did now will be explained later, so he composed himself and let himself calm down again.
Shao Shuting didn’t have this tacit understanding. When he heard Jiang Yue’s question, he smiled and said, “This is why I have to apologize on behalf of Ji Yi and Xue Yan.
“Ji Yi was the secret guard who carried my nephew away back then. In order to protect my nephew, he placed my nephew at the entrance of the Wei family.
“He placed the jade pendant on another child who was still in swaddling clothes just like my nephew.
“He wanted the people who were chasing him to think that the child with the jade pendant was my nephew and put all the danger on that child. That child was you, Xue Yan.”
Shao Shuting sighed again.
Shao Youyue also had an apologetic look on her face. “Xue Yan, I almost got you into trouble. Fortunately, you’ve been safe and sound till now.”
Xue Yan, who understood that a blood test might not be reliable, felt a little complicated. Why did he sound more and more like the Crown Prince compared to Wei Zizhan?
Xue Yan then glanced at Jiang Yue, and after a long while, he still couldn’t help but wait for Jiang Yue to ask, “Did that secret guard named Ji Yi say that he placed the jade pendant on me?
“I don’t have that proof.” Shao Shuting answered very quickly.
“Shao Boqi’s letter told me that Ji Yi had left my nephew at the Wei family’s gate and was raised by the Wei family. After my nephew returned to the family, he said that he was the one who adopted the jade pendant.
“Now that Ji Yi is dead, we don’t have the evidence to prove anything. The Ji family and Imperial Consort Yi were afraid that Ji Yi would tell the Emperor that they were the ones who sent people to kill him and my nephew, so they sent many people to kill Ji Yi.
“Shao Boqi failed to protect him, but he took a sword strike for my elder brother and was gone. The others deduced that this was the case..”
