Chapter 774: This Isn ‘t Mercy
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After a blood test, Wei Zizhan said that the jade pendant was his, and Shao Zhongxi had long known that he looked like the Crown Prince. Were these two points not enough to explain the problem? Shao Zhongxi actually did not think that the blood test might be unreliable, so he did not continue to send people to investigate…
Xue Yan was now a little suspicious of whether that man was naturally paranoid.
At first, he did not think that he was the Crown Prince because he did not know that the jade pendant was Empress Shao’s dowry and that it was meant for the Crown Prince for a long time. If he had known these two things, even if he did not know that the blood test was unreliable, he would have been suspicious and asked for further investigation just in case.
He had always been like this. He tried his best to do everything meticulously and flawlessly.
He was somewhat similar to Jiang Yue in this aspect.
After all, there were still some holes in the story that he was unclear about. He had to investigate them no matter what. Wasn’t this just him being careful?
If he really couldn’t find out, or if he couldn’t find out at all, then there was no other way but to let it go. However, it was obvious that those two situations weren’t the case now. He obviously didn’t want to investigate anymore…
Otherwise, Shuting would definitely have mentioned this to them yesterday.
No one was perfect.
Thinking of this, Xue Yan and Jiang Yue’s gazes met again.
In order to prevent anyone from causing trouble, Xue Yan definitely had to speak up.
“Aunt Xiao, there is no need to trouble your brother. If I am fated to meet my biological parents, we will naturally meet and accept each other. If fate doesn’t allow it, I would willingly accept it for the rest of my life.”
“That’s true.” Shao Youyue nodded in agreement. She still believed in fate. Her Crown Prince had been found, and it was obvious that her fate with her son was not over yet.
Seeing that Shao Youyue had given up on the idea of asking Shao Zhongxi to help find Xue Yan’s biological parents, Jiang Yue asked, “Aunt Xiao, can I ask you something?”
“Go ahead and ask. If I can tell you, I’ll definitely tell you everything.”
“You should be able to tell me. I think.” Jiang Yue said. “I just want to ask, how is Consort Yi and the Ji family now?”
Xue Yan also wanted to know about this, so he naturally looked at Shao Youyue as well.
The smile on Shao Youyue’s face immediately faded. She said indifferently, “Ji Yi died before he could even see the Emperor. There’s no hard evidence against them, and the Emperor is ever so merciful. He’s afraid that he’ll wrongly accuse Ji Yi and the Ji family, so he didn’t punish them. They’re still fine.”
Hearing this, Jiang Yue came to dislike Emperor Hao.
How was this considered mercy? This was clearly him helping the wicked.
An Emperor should know whether his subjects were good or bad. Moreover, he was the Emperor, not the minister of the Supreme Court. If he had to rely evidence for everything, he could just choose to kill that person directly. Wasn’t it just a matter of his words?
This could only mean two things. First, this Emperor was useless. Secondly, the Emperor had his own plans, but it was not the right time yet, so he still kept Consort Yi and the Ji family close.
If it was the second point, then the price he had to pay for temporarily helping the evil was definitely less than the price he had to pay for directly punishing the Ji family and Consort Yi in the future.
She hoped that it was the second point.
After all, that Emperor was Xue Yan’s father. If it was useless, when Xue Yan proves himself as the Crown Prince, who knew what he would be carrying on his shoulders, perhaps it would be a mess.
However, she did not want it to be the second point as well..
