“You haven’t seen your sister for many months. You can come along as well and greet her.” Emperor Hao said to Shao Boqi and Shao Zhongxi.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” Shao Boqi immediately cupped his fists. Shao Zhongxi didn’t say anything, but he followed behind Shao Boqi.
The Prime Minister, Imperial Censor, and the others respectfully sent off Emperor Hao.
When they arrived at the Phoenix Palace, Emperor Hao held Wei Zizhan’s hand and strode in. Shao Boqi and Shao Zhongxi followed behind.
However, when he entered the Emperor’s palace, behind the veil, Wei Zizhan did not see anyone on the bed. Instead, the palace maids, eunuchs, and nannies were kneeling on the ground.
After Emperor Hao sat down, he said to Wei Zizhan earnestly, “Shu, your mother is actually not in the palace, but you can’t let others know that she is not in the palace Otherwise, your mother will be in danger. Your mother has been missing you so much these years that she has almost gone crazy. You must not reveal this secret to the outside world.”
“I understand.” Wei Zizhan said.
On the way back to the capital city, he heard Jiuye say that it was the Ji family and Consort Yi who had caused him to wander outside and wanted to kill him.
Originally, Jiuye had thought that he would be able to punish the Ji family and Consort Yi this time. Who knew that Jiuye had told him yesterday that Ji Yi was dead? Therefore, even if he returned to the palace, he had to be careful.
“Then where is she?” asked Wei Zizhan.
“She secretly left the palace at the end of August to look for you at Changyu. However, she discovered that she was pregnant again on the way. Her health was deteriorating, so she could not look for you.
“She could only look for her brother, Shao Shuting, and ask him to find a place to rest. She was afraid that the child in her stomach would be like you and disappear again because of someone else’s harm.” Speaking up to this point, Emperor Hao sighed.
Wei Zizhan also didn’t understand why Emperor Hao didn’t punish the Ji family and Consort Yi. His mother had clearly said that it was the Ji family and Consort Yi who caused him to go missing outside, causing him to suffer
outside nor so many years. Why didn’t he do anything about it?
Wasn’t the Emperor the most powerful person?
Did he need to have evidence for everything?
If he were to become the Emperor in the future, he would not want to be like his father.
He would definitely do whatever he wanted.
“Your mother is now in a village called Locust Village in Pingan Town of Xinyuan County.” Emperor Hao continued, “Two children are taking care of her. Your uncle was actually saved by these two children, so he knows how safe that village is, so he arranged for your mother to go there to raise her child.”
Locust Village, Pingan Town, Xinyuan County?
Isn’t that the village where Xue Yan is located?
Were they the two children that he was talking about?
Wei Zizhan immediately asked with concern, “Father, how can two children take good care of Mother? Is there no one else by her side?”
These days, he was clear of one thing. His mother cared about him the most.
Although his father was the most important figure, he did not care about him as much as his mother.
Of course, he did not dare to say this out loud.
Emperor Hao smiled gratefully. “I heard from your uncle that those two children are not ordinary children. They are not simple. Moreover, your mother has four maids with her. She is doing very well now and her pregnancy is underway. When the child is born, she will come back to reunite with us.”
At this moment, Shao Boqi also smiled and said, “Crown Prince, one of the two children is called Xue Yan. He studied at Shengming Academy before. Didn’t you also study at Shengming Academy when you were in Xinyuan County? Do you know him?”
‘Of course, I know him!’
Wei Zizhan wanted to grit his teeth.
However, he was afraid that Emperor Hao wouldn’t like him like this, so he didn’t do it and said, “Yes, I used to be in the same cla.s.s as him. I really didn’t expect Mother to be taken care of by him. By the way, my jade pendant wasn’t with me at first. It was with him..”
