“Then I asked him why Prince Yi wanted to investigate you. He said he didn’t know the specific reason, but Prince Yi told them to find out what was wrong with him. No matter what was found, we had to report every detail back. He and the person who had already gone back to report confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the Crown Prince. It was all apparently Jiang Yue’s fault.

“I’ve asked him about Prince Yi’s whereabouts. He said he should be in Zhanchang County near Jing Yue. He said that after killing the middle-aged couple who raised Prince Yi, Prince Yi went to Zhanchang County. He said he would stay at the Shoulai Inn in this county. His Highness had already sent some people to Jing Yue to see if they could catch Prince Yi.”

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan weren’t sure that Prince Yi would be found.

If Prince Yi wasn’t reborn, it might still be possible. Now that things have changed, they have to stay vigilant. Otherwise, why would he investigate them?

Moreover, he wanted them to report everything to him no matter what was wrong. Wasn’t this to check if Xue Yan or Jiang Yue was reborn?

Only when one was reborn would one suspect that others were reborn as well.

That was why he was so focused on them.

Since he was reborn, he must be much more cunning. After all, once the other warrior reports to Prince Yi about Shao Zhongxi’s presence, he would definitely leave Shoulai Inn to prevent any early incidents. “About the matter of the guards who had their entire family captured wanting to kill Wei Zizhan… Even if they sent people back to stop it, it would be too late, so His Highness did not send anyone.” Qin Yin said.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan also felt that it was too late.

On the second day of the first lunar month, Shao Zhongxi had already sent someone back to the Imperial Capital to inform the Emperor that Wei Zizhan was not the Crown Prince, instead, Xue Yan was the Crown Prince. He had also asked the Emperor for his opinion and wanted to see if he could secretly send someone over to receive the evidence so that there was no doubt about his identity as the Crown Prince.

No matter how slow that person was, he should have arrived at the capital city by now.

Alas, it was too late.

“That’s all. May I ask if the Crown Prince and Jiang Yue have any orders?” Qi

Yin asked.

Jiang Yue looked at Xue Yan.

Xue Yan shook his head after listening to all of this. He was already reborn, so he had to make more preparations.

“l need manpower.” Without manpower, his preparations will be limited.

He needed people.

“There’s no need to ask,” Shao Zhongxi finally said. “The Shao family has already trained three hundred secret guards for you.”

Those who could become secret guards were all carefully selected.

This wasn’t for Wei Zizhan, this was Xue Yan.

Back then, he felt that Wei Zizhan was not ready to control these hidden guards, so he only placed some in the Eastern Palace to protect Wei Zizhan.

However, Xue Yan was different. It was obvious that Xue Yan could control them at a glance, so there was no need for him to worry. He directly handed control over, and there was no need to pave the way for Xue Yan.

“There is still a group of hidden guards in training.” Shao Zhongxi said. “When do you need them?”

“Thank you.” Xue Yan first cupped his hands to express his gratitude before saying, “l want to see these people as soon as possible.” It was impossible for these people to be in Xinyuan County now.

Perhaps they were still far away..
