Chapter 863: Essential Information

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation   Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xue Yan and Jiang Yue had originally planned to wait for the Emperor to finish off the Ji family before settling into his title, Now knowing that the Emperor was done, Xue Yan naturally took the opportunity to say, “There are many people who can be witnesses. It’ll be a bad idea to send them all to the Imperial Capital at once. Mother is pregnant now. In order to make sure that my identity as the Crown Prince is solid and for Mother’s safety, it’s best if someone from the Imperial Capital secretly sends them over.”

After all, although the Ji family had fallen, there were still other families that might have evil intentions.

No matter what, it was necessary to execute everything secretly.

Since Xue Yan was so considerate of their sister, Shao Shuting and Shao Zhongxi naturally agreed.

Shao Zhongxi finally spoke, “l will send someone back to the capital and ask the Emperor for his opinion. Regardless of whether the Emperor agrees or not, there will be a reply in a few days.”

“Alright, thank you.”

Shao Shuting thought for a moment and said, “Your mother actually called me careless. She’s always been more meticulous than me. It’s better not to tell your mother about this matter for now, lest she worries about whether your return to the palace will be smooth or not. Right now, we should maintain her health. It’s not too late to tell her after you are confirmed.”

“Sounds like a plan.” Xue Yan had no objections.

“However, you can tell your mother about the Ji family’s downfall and the fact that Prince Yi isn’t the Emperor’s son. You can tell her that to make her happy. Everything else should be kept under the wraps. Actually, we’re here to see her as well.’

“l see, only Mother and Xue Liu are at home right now. Everyone else is at

Grandpa’s place.”

Once everything settled, Xue Yan led Jiang Yue back to their grandfather’s place, while Shao Shuting, Shao Zhongxi, and Qi Yin took a detour from the edge of the village to the back of the Xue family’s house. Then, they jumped over the wall and entered the small hut.

He saw Shao Youyue through the window

He updated her about how the Emperor had just brought down the Ji family, Prince Yi wasn’t the Emperor’s son, Ji Xiehui was Huo Wenqing, and many other miscellaneous events. However, he didn’t say anything about Prince Yi’s disappearance or Xue Yan being the Crown Prince.

Shao Youyue was ecstatic when she heard that the Ji family had been wiped out.

Emperor Hao had secretly planned all of this 15 years ago, and the fact that Prince Yi wasn’t Emperor Hao’s son made her feel conflicted.

However, she clearly understood that Emperor Hao was an Emperor first and foremost. As long as it was for the good of Da Ling and the people, his son, his wife… Even he himself could only be ranked second.

What she wanted was that even if he couldn’t put her and her child first, she wished he could put her and her child on the same level as the country and the people of Da Ling.

If pushed to a point, he definitely won’t be able to do it.

At this point, her heart had already turned cold and she no longer had any hopes for him.

No matter what, the Ji family was uprooted and Ji Yi was dead. It was something to be happy about. She was actually in a good mood.

On this side, Shao Zhongxi and Shao Shuting were at Shao Youyue’s place. On the other side, Xue Yan and Jiang Yue were returning to their grandfather’s place. However, they stopped at the riverside and took a break.

After Jiang Yue stopped, she said, “l used to have two subordinates. One was called Shao Shuting, and the other was called Huo Wenqing. Here, one is called Shao Shuting, but he looks like Huo Wenqing. That’s why I called him Huo Wenqing back then..”
