Chapter 765: The True Crown Prince
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“When the doctors left the Ji family’s residence,” Shao Shuting continued on with the story.
“He guessed that Ji Yi had woken up. Regardless of whether it was a foolproof plan or not, he had no choice but to carry it out. The Ji family’s methods were cruel, and Ji Yi definitely wouldn’t be able to take it and would expose everything.
“As expected, when Ji Yi was rescued, he told my brother that he couldn’t take it anymore and urged him to send someone to Xinyuan County to look for the Wei family. He said that he placed my nephew at their door. They were later told that the Wei family had moved and was no longer in Xinyuan County. “Instead, they were at Pingan Town. When they arrived at Pingan Town, they discovered that they had moved to Changyu. After that, my brother and the others went to Changyu.
“Fortunately, my nephew pawned the jade pendant and our men found him and sent people to guard the pawnshop. He happened to go to the pawnshop that day to redeem the jade pendant and escaped the bloodbath at the back of
Heshi County.
“Otherwise, he would have been dead along with the Wei family.”
Not only would he be dead, but he would also be presented on a silver platter in several pieces to Consort Yi.
Xue Yan and Jiang Yue both thought that they had dodged a bullet.
The child who was cut into eight pieces in his previous life was Wei Zizhan. However, the matter had been brought forward, and because of some things, the outcome had changed.
Wei Zizhan had gone to redeem the jade pendant because Mister Zhang’s servant, Ah Zhong, had asked him for it. He refused to return it and wanted to find the Magistrate, so Wei Zizhan had no choice but to go to the pawnshop to redeem the jade pendant.
In that case, it was because Xue Yan had asked his teacher to take back that jade pendant. Otherwise, Wei Zizhan would definitely end up being cut into eight pieces again.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yue looked at Xue Yan. However, Xue Yan’s entire posture sank into silence.
He basically understood the whole premise now.
She did not dare to look at Shao Youyue, the Empress.
He should be the Crown Prince.
Shao Youyue was his mother…
In his previous life, his mother had been looking for him all this time. She had even gone crazy because she had found him in pieces. In the end, she drowned herself.
In this life, all these years, this very mother had been looking for him. Because she missed him too much and wanted to find him, her mind went insane… It was only after he came to Locust Village that she slowly recovered…
If Shao Shuting had not sent her here, she would have ended up crazy like in his previous life…
Thinking up to here, the corners of Xue Yan’s mouth trembled.
If he was the Crown Prince, then in his previous life, Emperor Yi had left a posthumous edict for Emperor Ling to kill him, and Emperor Ling had to kill him. Could he have known about this?
If he knew… It was no wonder that he was killed. It was clearly so, why was it considered…
Also, in his previous life, the Head of the Supreme Court risked his life to protect him. Could it be because he knew that he was actually the Crown Prince… If that was the case, then the Emperor’s teacher was obviously just a
scapegoat. The main culprit should be Emperor Yi, right?
“Xue Yan, what’s wrong?” Seeing Xue Yan go silent and stare at the ground, Shao Shuting felt that something was wrong.
Without waiting for Xue Yan’s reply, Shao Shuting laughed and teased, “Don’t tell me you think you might be the Crown Prince… Alright, stop thinking about it. You seem quite smart, but they’ve already tested the blood. My nephew can’t be fake. You’re really not my nephew. Trust me.”
Shao Youyue saw Xue Yan lowering his eyes and staring at the ground, and her heart ached. She scolded Shao Shuting in a low voice, “Stop that. If I had known that you were so petty, I would have reminded you not to talk about the
Crown Prince at all..”
