“But, to be honest, Xue Yan,” Shao Shuting smiled. “If my nephew hadn’t already tested his blood and my brothers had seen the blood fusing together, I would have suspected that you were my nephew. The jade pendant was on you, after all.”
Xue Yan’s mood became even more complicated. He really seemed to be…
There were too many loopholes…
Firstly, it was not the secret guard who said it himself. Secondly, if the secret guard had placed the jade pendant somewhere else and made the people who were chasing him think that he was the Crown Prince, then why did the secret guard not mention it to Shao Boqi and the others?
It was such an important matter, and the secret guard had already said that he had placed it at the Wei family’s door. It was impossible for him not to mention this jade pendant as well. They did not mention that the jade pendant was placed somewhere else. That jade pendant should be with the real Crown Prince…
Jiang Yue also felt that there were too many loopholes in this story. Naturally, she was even more convinced that Xue Yan was the Crown Prince. At the same time, he felt that Shao Shuting and the others had placed too much faith in the blood test.
This was ancient times, so it was no wonder that they did.
Even Xue Yan had no doubt that the blood test was true at the beginning. If it wasn’t for Jiang Yue’s abnormal questions, Xue Yan also wouldn’t have reacted to the fact that a blood test was unreliable.
“Ji Yi said that he would let the Wei family raise the Crown Prince, why did you take so long to find Wei Zizhan?” Xue Yan didn’t even know what kind of mood he was in when he asked these words. However, if he asked more clearly, he and Jiang Yue would be more confident with their hypothesis.
Jiang Yue also looked at Shao Shuting.
“That’s right. Actually, it hasn’t been long since we found Ji Yi.” Speaking of this, Shao Shuting sighed again.
Then, Shao Shuting explained, “Back then, Ji Yi wanted to use himself to distract the pursuers in order to ensure my nephew’s safety. However, he was injured all over and didn’t manage to walk too far. He only managed to reach Lingshan Town before fainting from exhaustion. He probably hit his head when he fainted, and when he woke up, he was in a daze. Later, Consort Yi and the Ji family found him first.”
When she heard the name Lingshan Town, she was dumbfounded. Jiang Yue recalled that an old man had died in the village where her aunt, Xiaoxi, lived. That old man was from Lingshan Town, and his silly son had disappeared… So, that silly son was actually Ji Yi?
Shao Shuting continued, “At first, we didn’t know anything at all. It was my brother who accidentally discovered that there was a fool locked up in the Ji familys dungeon. He felt that it was very strange, so he told my other brother.
He then connected him to a murder case in Lingshan Town. An old man died in Lingshan Town, and that silly son disappeared.”
Jiang Yue thought to herself, As expected, Ji Yi was the fool and guard all along!
“Then, my brother started to investigate the scene,” Shao Shuting continued, she didn’t ask anything yet.
“Later, he found out that the fool described by the neighbor looked like Ji Yi. My brother naturally thought of a way to save him.
“He had originally thought of a foolproof plan to save him. If he failed once, he would have alerted the enemy and it would have been difficult to save him again.
“However, on the sixteenth of November, Ji Yi suddenly woke up. At that time, we didn’t know and thought that the doctor had cured him. Later, we found out that Consort Yi kicked Ji Yi in anger and Ji Yi knocked his head against the wall.
“He fainted at that time. When he woke up again, he was miraculously cured.”
Hearing this, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other.. This method of waking up was really…
