That was all for now.
With Emperor Yi being reborn and causing trouble, this matter definitely couldn’t be hidden forever. Sooner or later, he would have to say it.
Hence, this matter was first put aside by Xue Yan.
Only when it was time to go to Shao Zhongxi’s old house to practice martial arts did Xue Yan and Jiang Yue leave Shao Youyue.
Shao Zhongxi and Qi Yin returned to their old house from town at noon. They already had lunch and were waiting for Xue Yan and Jiang Yue to come and practice martial arts.
The moment Xue Yan led Jiang Yue into the old house, he felt a little awkward.
Shao Zhongxi was not a fool. He knew that something was up. He took the initiative to ask coldly, “What’s the matter?”
Xue Yan became even more embarrassed. Rubbing his nose, after a long while, he still braced himself and said, “Jiang Yue and 1 have something to ask.” “Yes.” Shao Zhongxi agreed without thinking.
Although Xue Yan had expected Shao Zhongxi to have such a reaction, he was still surprised. After all, Zhongxi now had complete trust in him and Jiang Yue. He still felt a little awkward and continued, “Jiang Yue and I have already asked the secret guards to look for new wild things everywhere.
“They will probably find new wild things for Jiang Yue and me to plant next month. We have already told our family about it. We were hoping that you would help us cover it up and say that we paid the people you found to help us dig them out from the wild.
“We also mentioned that you know many people who have traveled extensively and they know what to look out for.”
As expected, Shao Zhongxi didn’t ask any more questions and merely nodded.
“Thank you.” Jiang Yue finally spoke, her expression still very calm.
Xue Yan couldn’t calm down even if he wanted to. He even coughed dryly in embarrassment before hurriedly cupping his hands towards his uncle and giving a bow. “Thank you very much.”
The whole thing was awkward.
There were obviously many loopholes in this matter, and even Qi Yin could probably see through it.
“Let’s begin,” Shao Zhongxi, who was cold as ice, turned sideways to avoid the bow.
In other words, there was no need to talk about this matter anymore and it was time to practice martial arts again.
“Alright.” Xue Yan agreed and then started practicing martial arts again.
Jiang Yue was bored, so she sat beside the table and helped Qi Yin brew tea.
Shao Youyue was eight months pregnant.
Because of the good weather recently, Empress Dowager Yunzi finally returned to the capital city that night.
Emperor Hao had just fallen asleep, but when he received the news that his mother had returned, he quickly got someone to help him get dressed. He rushed to his mother’s bedroom when he was done.
Empress Dowager Yunzi had expected him to come and was sitting on the brick bed with her eyes closed. It was only when he arrived did she slowly opened them again.
The Imperial Censor and the Minister of Justice had already been sent away by Empress Dowager Yunzi outside the palace. They had returned to their respective residences to rest. Whatever they needed to report, they would report it at the morning court meeting tomorrow.
Before Empress Dowager Yunzi returned from Pingan Town, Emperor Hao had received a report that Empress Dowager Yunzi had an attempted assassination at Jufang Inn in Xinyuan County. The person who had attempted to assassinate Empress Dowager Yunzi was Prince Yings man. At that time, Emperor Hao had been extremely shocked, not daring to believe that his uncle would have disloyal intentions. Now that Empress Dowager
Yunzi had returned, Emperor Hao naturally had to discuss this matter with Empress Dowager Yunzi in detail.
Moreover, he also heard that Xue Yan was really his son. He didn’t even have the slightest doubt and couldn’t contain his joy.
“You already know about this matter before I come back. I won’t beat around the bush and will be straightforward.” Empress Dowager Yunzi opened her mouth with her eyelids slightly lowered.. “What do you think about Prince Ying?”
