“The main thing at hand now…” Shao Shuting continued, “Is that Wei Zizhan must have been lying about everything. When we asked him about what happened, he said that it was nothing much and that he just wanted to get closer to him.’

Xue Yan and Jiang Yue were certain that Prince Yi’s rebirth must have happened.

Shao Shuting and the others didn’t know that there was such a thing as rebirth. It was too absurd, but there were two living proofs right in front of them! It wouldn’t be a big surprise to them.

However, there was one thing that Shao Shuting had said. When Prince Yi knew that Xue Yan was the Crown Prince, it must have been when the Emperor was dealing with the Ji family.

If Prince Yi was really reborn, then he must have been reborn around that time. If he had been reborn earlier, the Emperor might not have gotten the chance to successfully destroy the Ji family.

Knowing all this, Prince Yi must have something planned in order to deal with the different factors at hand.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other.

If he really showed up, they could capture him alive and interrogate him. Then, they would be able to confirm if Prince Yi was reborn.

Shao Shuting still couldn’t help but sigh at Xue Yan again, “l didn’t expect him to run away. Before this, Zhongxi and I came here to look for the Crown Prince, it turns out you were here this whole time. This means the clues we got back then were real. The Ji family didn’t deliberately expose them to lure us somewhere else.’

Hearing this, Xue Yan and Jiang Yue finally knew why these two brothers in front of them had appeared in Pingan Town — they were here for the Crown Prince.

“Because the jade pendant is in Changyu, and it was pawned by a child similar to the Crown Prince, we thought that the child was very likely to be in Changyu as well. Therefore, we deliberately came here to lure the people of the Ji family in Changyu here. We also deliberately made the Ji family think that he was looking for the Crown Prince. Wherever he went, they would follow.”

Hearing this, Xue Yan and Jiang Yue also understood why Shao Shuting was so sure that Pingan Town had no more spies and insisted on sending Empress Shao to them.

It turned out that it was because Shao Zhongxi brought the spies with him. The spies were so caught up in following Shao Zhongxi that they forgot about other important figures.

It was obvious that Shao Zhongxi was able to lure the spies away because of how important he was. The Ji family had been tricked into believing that they would be able to find the Crown Prince as long as they followed him.

“After that, they ended up finding the secret guard before us…” Shao Shuting

sighed again. Then, he smiled happily. “Fortunately, nothing happened to you, the real Crown Prince.”

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other.

“Alright, I’ve told you everything I know.” Shao Shuting suddenly changed the topic. “We came here today because we wanted to ask…” Speaking up to this point, Shao Shuting looked at Xue Yan with a solemn expression, “As the

Crown Prince, when exactly do you plan to tell the Emperor that you’re the real Crown Prince?”

Without waiting for Xue Yan’s reply, he continued, “It’s about time we tell him.

Now that the ji family has fallen, now’s the best time to rightfully take your place..”
