Chapter 758: Blessed!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Wei Zizhan originally had the intention to let his father get mad and teach Xue Yan a lesson, but since Emperor Hao had already said so, how could he say anything bad about Xue Yan?
That was to say, Emperor Hao would probably not care about this matter moving forward.
Fortunately, he would be the Crown Prince in the future. Wouldn’t it be a matter of him saying a word at any time to make Xue Yan suffer when the time came?
Now that he had just been acknowledged as the Crown Prince, he should be more obedient for the time being in case his father disliked him.
He had heard that there was still a Second Prince in the palace. If his father did not like him, he could cripple him and set up another heir. Wasn’t it just a matter of a word before he was killed or thrown out?
When Shao Zhongxi and the others were in the palace, Consort Yi was in her own bedroom, feeling uneasy.
She already knew about the blood test in the royal study. The Prime Minister and the Imperial Censor had seen it with their own eyes, and they would definitely tell the citizens about it. There was no need to hide it.
Anyway, the Crown Prince was back!
She could ignore this for the time being. She was worried that the Shao family had irrefutable evidence that the Emperor would punish her and the Ji family for their crimes. Her father and the others were outside the palace, so they could escape. However, she was still in the palace. How could she escape? Was there enough time to leave before anything happened?
‘Empress!.” Suddenly, the eunuch in charge of Consort Yi’s bedchamber rushed in. “The Emperor and the others have been in the palace for quite a while and haven’t come out yet. I didn’t see any other movements from the Royal Guards and the Shao family either. Lord Marquis sent someone to secretly come in and say that if there was concrete evidence. there would have been movement before we knew that the blood test was successful. Why haven’t we been surrounded yet? This means that there shouldn’t be any concrete evidence to convict us. You can rest assured.”
“Perfect!” Consort Yi was overjoyed. “Luck is on my side!”
If her father and the others rebelled in the West and became the Emperor themselves, they would definitely not let the Crown Prince become the Emperor. Instead, her father would become the Emperor. At most, she would be a Princess, but if her son became the Emperor, she could be the Empress Dowager!
Naturally, she did not want to rebel.
The head palace maid beside Consort Yi smiled and said, “The Crown Prince has been found, but the Empress is sick. I heard that she can’t even get up. If this illness is gone, how good would that be?”
Consort Yi finally had the time to laugh, “That’s good. She did this to herself. Now that her son is back and that she is sick, how much time do you think she would have before leaving this world? What a shame! Hahaha!”
Something had happened to the Crown Prince before, causing him to be found after seven years. In order to prevent something from happening to his Crown Prince again, Emperor Hao quickly sent the Imperial Army to protect Wei Zizhan at all costs.
Also, when Empress Dowager Yunzi learned that her grandson had been found, she was very happy and sent some people back to protect Wei Zizhan as well.
He also placed some of the secret guards that the Shao family had nurtured for the Crown Prince in the eastern side of the palace to protect Wei Zizhan and listen to his orders.
The Crown Prince had his own palace, it was called the Eastern Palace.
Wei Zizhan moving into the Eastern Palace also officially shows that he is the Crown Prince.
Not only were there many people protecting him in the Eastern Palace, but there were also many people following him wherever he went. Even when he slept at night, there were people guarding his bed. Fortunately, he did not mind.
Firstly, he was afraid that something would actually happen to him.
Secondly, he felt very awe-inspiring with so many people following him.
Because the weather was too cold, the roads were frozen. It was not until December 13th that Shao Shuting received the news that Wei Zizhan had already done a blood test and was acknowledged as the Crown Prince.
This meant that the overall situation had been decided.
Shao Shuting was happy with the news.
However, he was a little disappointed that he could not get rid of the Ji family and Consort Yi in one fell swoop..
