Afterwards, Xue Yan began to instruct Zou Yi to secretly bring 15 men to the Jing Yue region to keep an eye on Prince Ying. If anything went wrong, he would send someone back to report.

Zou Yi immediately accepted the order.

Xue Yan then ordered Zou Er, Zou San, and Zou Si to bring their own people to keep an eye on Prince Liyang, Prince Dingzi, and Prince Weimin.

Zou Er, Zou San, and Zou Si immediately followed the order.

In the following days, Xue Yan would naturally meet with every batch of secret guards that arrived, and then arrange for them to go out and keep an eye on people.

Unknowingly, time passed to mid January.

On this day, in the Jing Yue area, Zhanchang County, Shoulai Inn, Prince Yi was in a room in the inn, coughing from time to time.

In his previous life, he used to always stay in the palace. He was well-fed and the doctors were all around him to care for him. Although his body was unhealthy, he never lived uncomfortably.

After he left the family that adopted him, he rushed here. His body was overworked. His health was not good to begin with, so he had to suffer the repercussions.

He even began to suspect that if this continued, he might not even live to be 23 years old in this lifetime.

In his previous life, he was carefully nursed back to health every day. Later on, everything he could not solve was thrown to Xue Yan to worry about, and he barely lived until 23.

He still had to settle down as soon as possible. At the very least, he could not lose a doctor by his side.

It would be better if there was a doctor who could take care of his health at all times.

Otherwise, he would not be able to rest in peace if he died before he could

carry out his plans.

Fortunately, he was already in Jing Yue. Jing Yue was considered Prince Yings territory, and Prince Ying had always harbored disloyal feelings towards the Emperor. He had always been brooding over the fact that the late Emperor had succeeded the throne. He felt that the throne should have been rightfully his.

He could make use of this and use Prince Ying to kill the person he wanted to kill.

At the same time, he also wanted to slowly build a foundation for himself on Prince Yings fief. He would also slowly plan to let Prince Yings power and fief fall into his hands.

Of course, he was hoping that Xue Yan was not reborn. If Xue Yan was also reborn, he might stop all this from happening.

After all, in his previous life, it was Xue Yan who helped him take care of these princes. Xue Yan understood these princes better than him.

Prince Yi tried to suppress his cough, but he couldn’t.

It was also at this moment that someone knocked on his door. Immediately, a person came in. It was one of the two warriors he had sent to Xinyuan County.

“Master!” The moment the warrior entered, he bowed.

Prince Yi glanced at him.” Why did you come back alone?”

“There was a chance to kill the Empress and the child in her stomach, so he asked me to come back and report the findings to you while he settled that matter.”

“Tell me, how did the task I asked you to do go?” “We didn’t kill Zhu Laicai and Zhu Xiuhua.’

Prince Yi clenched his fist.

If these two people did not die, Xue Yan would very likely be accepted as the Crown Prince. Once Xue Yan became Crown Prince, it would be impossible for him to use him no matter what.

“We went to Zhu Village,” the warrior continued, “But we discovered that Shao Zhongxi had placed people there to keep an eye on them. Shao Zhongxi even took away the household registration books of the Wei family and Zhu family from the county office.”

Shao Zhongxi had now discovered that Wei Zizhan was not the Crown Prince and had even traced it to Zhu Laicai and Zhu Xiuhua. Prince Yi was not surprised, but he had already expected Shao Zhongxi to suspect Wei Zizhan sooner or later..
