Translator: Endlessæantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“What to do is simple,” Prince Yi said. “The maternal family must have lost their power. It’s too late for us to stop them now. We can only find another way out. Mother, Prince Qing has taken a fancy to you. If you look for him, he will definitely not let you die.”
“He does?” Consort Yi was very surprised. Why couldn’t she tell at all? “But even if he likes me, it doesn’t mean that he won’t let me die.’
“The Emperor family is full of love sick people. They will only love one person in their lives. He will definitely not let you die.” Prince Yi said. Not only was the late Emperor infatuated, but even his father was also highly infatuated with the Empress.
Emperor Hao was just the same and only had eyes for Empress Shao. Even if he had a harem of 3000, he had never touched any other women.
In his previous life, he did not see Xue Yan like any woman. Xue Yan did not even have a servant girl to serve him. Almost all of the people by his side were men. Even if there were women, they were Xue Yan’s mother, his elder sister-in-law, his second sister-in-law, and the like. Xue Yan was probably cleaner than a piece of white paper until death.
However, if Xue Yan liked one person, he would definitely only love one person.
“Then we can give it a try.” Consort Yi said. As long as there was a way out, she would even give herself to Prince Qing. She had always done things by hook or by crook.
Prince Yi was the son of Consort Yi, and he was evil in doing things. It could be said that he had inherited Consort Yi’s teachings.
However, Prince Yi still reminded her, “Mother, you have to find Prince Qing quickly. Otherwise, you might not even be able to see him soon. You might be under house arrest the moment you return.”
Emperor Hao!s plan was to uproot the Ji family but he had not put them under house arrest yet, probably because he was afraid that the news would leak out and he would not be able to catch everyone that worked under them.
They must have already decided on a day to take action.
“Alright.” Consort Yi nodded solemnly.
Then, Prince Yi asked, “Mother, do you know that the Empress is no longer in the palace?”
“She’s not in the palace?!” Consort Yi was shocked. Then, she recalled that Empress Shao did not appear today and immediately said, “Yes! She is definitely not in the palace. If she was in the palace, even if she was sick and couldn’t get up, she would still get someone to carry her over to see her son!” Seeing his mother like this, Prince Yi didn’t expect his mother to know anything else, so he didn’t ask his mother anymore.
He would ask Wei Zizhan about the things he wanted to know.
Wei Zizhan had been to the palace before, and with his identity as the Crown
Prince, it was very likely that he would know Shao Youyue’s current whereabouts.
He still had a few men of sacrifice. They were given to him by his grandfather’s family in case the Shao family made a move on him. However, something had happened to his grandfathers family. He could not deal with the Emperor, the Shao family, the Empress Dowager, and the others all at the same time, Therefore, he naturally preserved these strengths first and could not let these men of sacrifice lose their lives in vain.
He would definitely be able to use these men of sacrifice later on.
After leaving the palace, he had to send two people to Pingan Town to investigate Xue Yan.
In this life, Xue Yan’s family actually saved Shao Shuting, then Xue Yan must have already known about Shao Shuting. He also did not know why this was the case…
He had to get someone to check it out and have a better idea of what to do next.
Also, he had to send people to Zhu Village to kill the couple who could prove that Xue Yan was the Crown Prince. As long as there were no those two people, then Wei Zizhan won’t be exposed as not being the Crown Prince. That way, they won’t dare to casually recognize Xue Yan back as the Crown Prince. As for Xue Yan… If he could still be of use to him in this life, that would be great..
