“This news will probably reach Xinyuan County sooner or later.” Shao Shuting continued. “It was a good move on the Emperor’s part to tell them the truth now. If Prince Yi uses this matter in the future and tells people he’s the heir to the throne, no one in the palace will believe him.”

Normally, people who were not members of the royal family would not be allowed to inherit the throne; unless they were given special permission, of course.

This was as much as Jiang Yue and Xue Yan knew.

“If he runs away now, there will be a lot of problems we will have to fix in the future.” As he spoke, he sighed.

Prince Yi ran away?

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other again before Xue Yan asked, “Why did he run away?”

“Probably because he didn’t like how the Emperor felt guilty towards him. Even though Ji Yi and the Ji family were punished, the Emperor didn’t punish him and even sent him to a family to be raised by a couple. That kid must have been unwilling to be raised by someone else. He probably still had some warriors with him to help him aid in his escape. Anyway, the couple was killed, and the two people who were secretly observing him were also killed. He could even be planning something sinister as we speak.”

After hearing Shao Shuting’s answer, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both felt that something was very wrong.

Logically speaking, no matter how cunning a child was, it was impossible for him to be this meticulous and control the people around him that smoothly… Didn’t everyone in the Ji family fall? How did a mistake like this happen?

Moreover, the Emperor was kind enough to arrange for someone to raise Prince Yi. Usually, he would not send anyone to keep an eye on him. If someone was to keep an eye on him, it meant that he did not trust Prince Yi.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yue met Xue Yan’s eyes again before asking, “Why did the Emperor send someone to keep an eye on him?”

Shao Shuting naturally answered honestly, “When Prince Qing brought him and Ji Yi out of the palace, the kid brought two of his palace maids with him.

Those two palace maids took poison and committed suicide when they got caught. It was obvious that they were men of sacrifice, The Empress Dowager and the Emperor felt weary of this, so they sent two men to keep an eye on him. If there was really something wrong with him, they could immediately detain him. Who knew that the people who watched him would be killed in just a few days.”

“Oh right.” Shao Shuting thought of something again and looked at Xue Yan. “Before he was placed under house arrest, he privately looked for Wei Zizhan and had a chat. We suspect that he has confirmation that you are the Crown Prince instead. The information must have been from Wei Zizhan.”

Xue Yan frowned almost imperceptibly. ‘Could Prince Yi have been reborn?’ Jiang Yue was thinking the same thing as Xue Yan.

If Prince Yi had also been reborn, that would explain why a child could be so meticulous and manage the people around him perfectly.

He made no mistakes when he fled. Moreover, if he was really reborn, he would naturally not be willing to stay in a family.

There was an explanation for this.

“I’m not too sure why,” Shao Shuting continued, “But I feel that the possibility of this is still very small. If he knows that you’re actually the Crown Prince, doesn’t that mean that the Ji family and Ji Yi know? They didn’t make a move though…”

If the Ji family knew, they would have sent people to kill Xue Yan immediately.

After a pause, Shao Shuting continued, “However, if that’s really the case, then we’re about to be in big trouble. Wei Zi Zhan knows that your mother is pregnant and is here. There’s no need to worry too much about everything for now. We’ve already arranged for people to keep an eye on your place. If there are any suspicious people, they will be arrested immediately. I’ll be here too. Even if Prince Yi has people on hand, he won’t have enough to go against my soldiers. After all, the Ji family has fallen. Nothing will happen to you, I will see to it myself..”
