He hadn’t seen the Empress for months.

“Yes, mother.” Emperor Hao agreed and said to Shao Boqi, ‘Go back and tell

Shao Zhongxi that on the sixteenth of the first month, the Empress Dowager will set off for Xinyuan County.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Shao Boqi accepted the order.

Then, he left.

The first thing he did after returning home was to send someone to Xinyuan County to inform Shao Zhongxi that the Emperor had agreed to the plans.

Wei Zizhan and the Royal Guards who had committed suicide had already been carried out. Now that Shao Boqi had left, Emperor Hao glanced at the head eunuch. The head eunuch immediately brought the servants out, leaving only him and his mother in the side hall.

Emperor Hao then said to his mother, “The person who wrote the letter didn’t have any ill intentions towards us. It was purely a kind reminder.”

If there was ever a hint of malice, the Ji family would not have been successfully uprooted by him.

“So,” Empress Dowager Yunzi immediately continued, “You still have to remain vigilant at all times. Didn’t the first letter clearly state that you wiki die on the fifteenth of June? We can only feel at ease after that date passes.”

“I will try my best not to worry you, Mother.” Emperor Hao felt extremely guilty.

“When will I ever stop worrying about you?” Empress Dowager Yunzi said. After a while, she said, “Since this letter helped us, we must thank the owner. I plan to look for the sender while I collect the evidence. If I can’t find him, so be it. Since the sender can predict the future, they will probably find me before I find them.”

Emperor Hao nodded and agreed.

“Fortunately, they have no ill intentions towards us. Otherwise, we would have been in danger long ago based on the overall situation.” Empress Dowager Yunzi sighed again.

Emperor Hao nodded again, “Fortunately.”

In the morning, Xue Yan only sorted out the people that Prince Yi might use for a while before he had his lunch.

After lunch, he continued to tidy up.

By the time they were done, the sun had already set.

There were many names written on the piece of large paper. There were even lines connecting the names.

“That’s a lot.” Jiang Yue was a little surprised and raised her eyebrows slightly.

Xue Yan smiled somewhat embarrassedly and said, “Although some of them don’t have much influence, they can be used, so I wrote them all down just in case.”

“Who is this Prince Ying? Why did you draw a circle around this name?” Jiang Yue looked at the name in the middle of the paper. Compared to other names, this name was not only written in larger font, but it was also circled with a red pen.

“Prince Ying?” Xue Yan said. “The late emperor’s uncle was the same age as the late emperor, but he was a close relative of the late emperor.”

Pausing, Xue Yan said in more detail, “Back then, when the late emperor’s father was the Crown Prince, he was called a muddle-head. However, the late emperor’s grandfather still passed the throne to the late emperor’s father, his eldest son. As for Prince Ying, he built a good reputation for himself and won

the hearts of the people. When he saw his father giving the throne to his brother even though he was muddle-headed, he wanted to throw a fit.

However, once his brother gave him many things, he did not express his complaints..”
