Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Yes, yes.” Ah Zhong panicked and hurried back to the inn to pack his things.
In the blink of an eye, it was the first day of December.
Imperial Capital.
During this period of time, the Ji family and Consort Yi’s people were already in a state of panic after the secret guard Ji Yi was rescued. Firstly, Ji Yi could prove that they were the ones who had hunted him and the Crown Prince back then. Secondly, Ji Yi would definitely tell the Shao family about the Crown Prince’s whereabouts.
Therefore, their people had to kill the Crown Prince before the Shao family found him.
It was also during this period of time that the Ji family and Consort Yi’s people
kept receiving news that the Wei family had moved to Pingan Town. It was also said that they moved from Pingan Town to Changyu. It was said that someone from the Wei family was a County Magistrate in Changyu’s Heshi County. They were all living in Heshi County right now. It was also said that Wei Zizhan was the Crown Prince.
Hearing about the things that happened in Changyu, Marquis Ji, Ji Qiwei, and Consort Yi were all shocked.
This was because Shao Zhongxi had been to Changyu before. Naturally, they felt that Shao Zhongxi knew more about the Crown Prince.
They also felt that Shao Zhongxi had left someone in Changyu to keep an eye on things.
Therefore, when they received this news, they hurriedly sent many men to Changyu to prevent any more potential mishaps.
If their people did not find Wei Zizhan and kill him first, they would naturally intercept and kill Wei Zizhan midway. They definitely could not let Wei Zizhan come to the Imperial Capital.
At the same time, they had already planned to kill Ji Yi. They could not let Ji Yi see the Emperor.
Later, he received news that Shao Zhongxi had brought a large group of people to Changyu.
They naturally sent more people to support them.
During this period of time, they could not sleep or eat in peace.
On this day, Consort Yi’s eyelids kept twitching. She had a feeling that something bad was going to happen. She couldn’t sit still in the palace, so she secretly left the palace and returned to her mother’s house.
Just as she sat down at her mother’s house, she received a report.
“Your Highness, Lord Marquis, we can’t contact the people who went directly from Pingan Town to Changyu! The back of the Heshi County government at Changyu was massacred. Other than Wei Zizhan’s disappearance, the rest of the Wei family has been killed. It should be our people who did it!
“It was also the day the Wei family died. They were also there and even sent people to search every house in Heshi County. However, the search was not allowed for long. Their people retreated from Changyu and split into more than ten groups to come to the Imperial Capital.
“There was a carriage in each group. There seemed to be someone in the carriage. Food and drink were sent in, but not one carriage came out.
“We suspect that Wei Zizhan was in one of the carriages, but we can’t be sure which group of people escorted the carriage.
“If we intercept every carriage, we won’t have enough people to check all of them in time. Your Highness, please give us your permission to ask for more manpower!”
“What should we do, Father!” Consort Yi immediately panicked. “Emperor Shu must have been found! And we can’t contact those people. They might be captured and fall into Shao Zhongxi’s hands! Shao Zhongxi definitely has a way to make them betray us! Even if we successfully kill Ji Yi, it’s useless!”
Those people had always known what they had done.
“Don’t panic.” Marquis Ji was actually a little flustered, but he tried his best to calm himself down. After calming himself down, he analyzed the situation. “Shao Zhongxi has always been crafty. Those people might not be in his hands. They might be dead. Shao Zhongxi must have asked them to hide the bodies to deliberately confuse us..”
