“It was done by the Ji family and Consort Yi,” Qi Ye said. “We have to hurry back to the capital city to do a blood test before the Ji family and Consort Yi find out about what happened in Changyu.”
Wei Zizhan thought that the Wei family had treated him so badly in the past. Perhaps he really wasn’t the biological son of that family at all!
Also, there were secret guards who said that they had left him at the Wei family’s doorstep back then. Wouldn’t that mean that they might have placed the jade pendant somewhere else, afraid that the jade pendant would reveal his identity and couldn’t protect him? Perhaps this was the reason why the jade pendant was with Xue Yan.
Thinking of this, Wei Zizhan was convinced by himself and was certain that he was actually His Highness the Crown Prince, so he naturally nodded. “Okay.”
He wanted to go to the capital city to do a blood test.
He must be the Crown Prince.
When he acknowledged his ancestors and returned to the palace, he would definitely teach Xue Yan a lesson.
The jade pendant was clearly his, but Xue Yan actually asked Mister Zhang to send someone to ask him for the jade pendant back! He even used the County Magistrate to suppress him! What a shameless person!
Seeing that Wei Zizhan did not resist going to the Imperial Capital for a blood test, the cold Shao Zhongxi arranged for more than ten groups of people to return to the Imperial Capital in batches. They all pretended to bring a carriage to the Imperial Capital to confuse the Ji family and Consort Yi, thinking that Wei Zizhan was in the carriage.
Once the Ji family and Consort Yi’s people learned of what had happened in Changyu, the capital city would be even more vigilant. These dozen groups of people were naturally a smokescreen for the Crown Prince.
At this point, they would think that he was being personally led by a group of people back to the capital.
In reality, Wei Zizhan was brought along by Jiuye into the capital. They were disguised as ordinary merchants who had traveled far and wide.
Jiuye had always appeared at night. Even if he did, he would always wear a mask and only reveal his eyes. Other than Shao Boqi, Shao Zhongxi, and Shao Shuting, no one else knew what he looked like. It was also because Jiuye was safe that Shao Zhongxi handed Wei Zizhan over to Jiuye.
At the Linmen Inn, Ah Zhong waited for Wei Zizhan in his room for an entire day, but Wei Zizhan didn’t come back looking for him. He planned to go to the county government to look for Wei Zizhan again to see why the jade pendant hadn’t been delivered yet.
However, before he could go to the county office, he heard the guests in the inn’s lobby discussing the bloodbath in the back of the county office. He was shocked and hurried to the county office.
The back of the county government had been massacred, including the death of the County Magistrate. The Magistrate had come yesterday and was still dealing with the aftermath. He had also submitted a memorial to the Imperial Capital.
The county government was now blocked by the officers and soldiers of the government office. No one was allowed to enter.
Just then, the Magistrate came out and was about to return to the government office. Ah Zhong quickly shouted, indicating that he was a servant of Mister
Zhang’s family. When the Magistrate heard this, he asked someone to let Ah Zhong come over.
Ah Zhong first bowed before telling him the reason for his visit to Changyu. He did not know which of the two letters to give to the Magistrate, so he casually gave one to him and asked anxiously, “Sir, are they really all dead? Is Wei Zizhan also dead?”
When the Magistrate heard him mention Wei Zizhan, he was already shocked. Without waiting for him to finish asking, he covered his mouth and pulled him aside, whispering to him, “Only his corpse is missing. However, Prince Anyun came to this county yesterday morning and almost turned the county upside down. He was looking for His Highness the Crown Prince here. It seems that
Wei Zizhan was His Highness the Crown Prince and was taken away by Prince
Anyun.”
Wei Zizhan is the Crown Prince?
Ah Zhong was shocked.
The Magistrate hurriedly said in a low voice, “This is a place of trouble. You don’t have to take the jade pendant anymore. Who knows which shop he took it from? If he really is His Highness the Crown Prince, we wouldn’t dare to ask him where he took the jade pendant. You should hurry back and tell your master about this so that he is updated with the latest information..”
