513 Chang Yu
Shao Shuting had nothing to do, so he was lying on the bed, recuperating while playing chess with himself. He knew that something important had happened when Qiye came. He immediately put down the white piece in his hand, and his expression turned cold.
“Xue Yan and Jiang Yue went to the river to wash vegetables, so there’s no one else in the house now,” Shiye replied.
Qiye hurriedly cupped his fists and kneel down to pay his respects.
“Qiye reporting for duty, we have news! The jade pendant that His Highness the Crown Prince had been wearing all those years ago was found in a pawnshop in Chang Yu!
“His Highness’s men had already asked the pawn shop and the pawn shop’s staff said that a seven or eight year old boy had come to their pawnshop half a month ago and that boy was most likely the Crown Prince! His Highness also said that someone was interfering with us and deliberately led us to search in the opposite direction of Chang Yu.
“In fact, the Crown Prince might have been brought in the direction of Chang Yu! His Highness wants you to recuperate so he has asked you to lay low. As for Chang Yu, we will personally search for the Crown Prince’s whereabouts!”
Shao Shuting was overjoyed and punched the bed again. This was big news! His nephew would probably be found soon!
“Does my sister know?” Shao Shuting asked.
“His Highness has already sent a secret letter to the Empress. The Empress will probably know of this good news in the next two days.” Qiye was also very happy.
“That’s great!” Shao Shuting unconsciously hit the bed again. After so many years, he finally didn’t have to roam like a headless fly and search for him everywhere anymore.
He was in Chang Yu!
“Tell my brother that…” Shao Shuting said, “That we should make this matter more confidential. We must find him before Consort Yi and the Ji family knows, or the consequences will be unimaginable.”
“Yes, Qiye will report to Your Highness.” Qiye immediately accepted the order.
Shao Shuting gave some more instructions, and Qiye accepted them.
Seeing that Shiye still didn’t say anything, Qiye asked doubtfully, “Shiye, didn’t you say that you also have news to share? Why didn’t you report it? ”
Shao Shuting looked at Shiye.
“Since His Highness the Crown Prince is in Chang Yu, then I should have been wrong.” Shiye was a little embarrassed.
Xue Yan had always been here and had never been to Chang Yu.
“What do you mean by being wrong?” Shao Shuting didn’t understand.
“Xue Yan isn’t the biological son of the Xue family. He was adopted by Xue Dafu seven years ago when he was still an infant,” said Shiye.
“Really?” Shao Shuting was a little surprised by this fact. If it was in the past, he would have suspected that Xue Yan was his nephew. Now, knowing that his nephew was in Chang Yu, he naturally would not doubt it. He smiled and said, “It’s fine. I just didn’t expect him to be adopted from the streets. Jiang Yue was adopted from the streets too. Interesting. Were Xue Sifu and the others adopted from the streets too?”
Shiye broke out in a sweat. “That’s not it. The villagers said that only Xue Yan and Jiang Yue were adopted.”
…
When Jiang Yue and Xue Yan came back from washing the vegetables, they happened to see Shiye sending Qiye off at the entrance of the courtyard.
Just as Qiye was about to mount his horse and leave, he saw Jiang Yue and Xue Yan return. He didn’t even need to think to know that they were the two children who had saved the general.
“Xue Yan, Jiang Yue. Many thanks for your kindness.” He immediately cupped his fists at the two children.
“This is Qiye,” Shiye introduced his comrade to the two kids. “He’s also our young master’s attendant. He just came over and reported some things to him and is about to leave now.”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan nodded and didn’t ask anything.
Qiye had heard from Shiye that the two children were very special. Seeing that the two children did not ask him why he left or why they came back, and only calmly and obediently waited for him to leave, he became a little surprised. He brushed it off and got on the horse, urging it to leave.
