“Why did you call them all here?”Shao Boqi was puzzled.
Shao Zhongxi didn’t explain. He simply instructed, “Prepare a few bowls of water. Qiye, Qiyin, you both can go.”
“Yes, sir!” Qiye immediately left.
The others waited in the hall, feeling a little confused.
It was only when Qiyin and Qiye returned with a tray each filled with a few bowls of water that Shao Zhongxi took out a dagger and cut his fingers. A drop of blood dripped from each bowl of water.
Shao Boqi somewhat understood and was immediately shocked.
No way!
After Shao Zhongxi finished dripping blood, he looked at Qiye and the other secret guards. Qiye and the others immediately understood and took out their daggers to cut their fingers. Some dripped a drop into one bowl, while others dripped a drop into another bowl. There were more than twenty people, and all of them had their blood mixed with one another. However, they were clearly not related at all.
“T-this!” Qiye and the others were also shocked.
“As expected.” Shao Zhongxi’s expression turned ugly. “No one is allowed to spread this matter.”
“Yes, sir!” Qiye and the others immediately accepted the order.
“So, that child called Xue Yan might really be our nephew?”Shao Boqi said. If Wei Zizhan was not necessarily their nephew, then Xue Yan was naturally very likely to be. After all, if a blood test did not count, then Xue Yan was much more likely to be the Crown Prince compared to Wei Zizhan.
Other than the fact that Wei Zizhan was in the Wei family, there was no other evidence that could prove that he was their nephew.
However, the jade pendant was with Xue Yan previously. Moreover, their younger sister had also said that their nephew’s appearance was exactly like her son’s…
“It should be.” Shao Zhongxi said. “But if there isn’t enough evidence, the Emperor won’t take him back.”
This was because the royal family would be even more cautious after making a mistake once. If there was any doubt, without evidence to support it, it would be impossible for them to recognize another Crown Prince.
Shao Zhongxi said hurriedly, ‘You should stay in the capital city in case something happens. I’ll go to Xinyuan County again.”
This blood test was useless, but it also couldn’t completely rule out the possibility that Wei Zizhan wasn’t the Crown Prince. Moreover, if Xue Yan was really his nephew, he still had to find other more powerful evidence to support it. No matter what, he had to make a trip to Xinyuan County and properly investigate these matters.
“Alright, you go quickly!’
Shao Zhongxi had just secretly left the capital for Xinyuan. When he heard that Wei Zizhan had finally come out of the royal study, Prince Yi sent a palace maid to invite him.
Wei Zizhan had been taught a lesson by his father and knelt for a very long time. He didn’t want to see Prince Yi at all, but because the palace maid said that there was something important, he had to go. Wei Zizhan was still a child and couldn’t take much provocation, so he went in. Naturally, there were many people by his side to protect him as he was the Crown Prince after all.
Prince Yi lay weakly on the bed. Seeing Wei Zizhan come, he let the people serving him leave and even smiled, “Novv that he’s here, can I have a private chat with my brother?”
Wei Zizhan thought that Prince Yi t s body was so weak, even if they fought, he would definitely win, so he let the people following him retreat.
The people who followed him first checked carefully to make sure that only Prince Yi and Wei Zizhan were left in the room before they left.
Seeing the people following him like this, Wei Zizhan naturally felt more at ease.
Prince Yi wasn’t in a hurry to immediately ask about Empress Shads whereabouts.. Instead, he looked at Wei Zizhan and smiled, “Do you like being the Crown Prince?”
