Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Shao Zhongxi’s expression was cold. There would definitely be a great disaster in the future.
Shao Shutings expression turned ugly. In the past, he acknowledged that Prince Yi was quite smart, but now it seemed that he was cunning too.
By killing the couple who adopted him and the people who were keeping an eye on him, wasn’t he just showing everyone that he would cause more trouble in the future?
“Send some people, immediately. If there are not enough people here, I will transfer some of my men over.” Shao Shuting said. Now that he was gone, they could only be on guard.
Shao Zhongxi said nothing.
“There are many soldiers keeping an eye on the place. Even the Zhu Village is currently under lockdown.”
“Very good.” Shao Shuting nodded. “The Ji family has already fallen, he shouldn’t have much. As long as we take precautions, and with you being here, we can solve it. When should we tell the Emperor that Xue Yan is our nephew?”
“I’ve already sent Siye back to the capital to inform Boqi about everything.”
Shao Zhongxi said. As he spoke, he looked at Qiye coldly. “Did you meet him on the way here?”
“l met him. We should be able to reach the capital by today.” Qiye said.
Shao Zhongxi then said, “As for the exact time, we have to ask the Crown Prince what to do next.” The Crown Prince and Jiang Yue clearly had their own plans.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have remained calm even though they had all the evidence at hand.
Before this, he had some scruples about the Ji family. After all, his sister was also there. Now that the Ji family was gone, it was time to ask his nephew when he would accept his t.i.tle as the Crown Prince.
With that thought, Shao Zhongxi stood up. “Let’s go see the Crown Prince.”
Shao Shuting did not dare to enter Locust Village openly. Everyone in the village knew him. Shao Zhongxi followed him and stayed in the bamboo forest opposite Locust Village, waiting for Qi Yin to find Xue Yan and Jiang Yue.
Before Qi Yin entered the village, she saw Zi Cui washing things by the river.
She didn’t say much to Zi Cui, but directly asked Zi Cui to invite Xue Yan and Jiang Yue to the bamboo forest opposite of where they were.
Zi Cui stopped washing the things and left.
Zi Cui told them that Xue Yan and Jiang Yue were at their grandpa’s place. It would probably be a while before Zi Cui reaches them.
Xue Yan and Jiang Yue were in the courtyard.
“Xue Yan, Jiang Yue,” Zi Cui whispered. “Qi Yin asked me to tell you that Zhongxi and Shuting are here. They are in the bamboo forest on the other side of the road. They want you to go over and meet them.
“Got it.” Xue Yan and Jiang Yue both nodded.
Then, they returned to the courtyard and told their grandpa that they would go home first and come back later. Then, they left the house.
They looked to be heading home, but after a few steps, they took a detour to the bamboo forest opposite their village.
Who would come to the bamboo forest during the New Year? This was the perfect place to meet up!
Shao Shuting hugged his sword and was dressed in white. He leaned against a thick bamboo and bit a blade of gra.s.s in his mouth. He was not worried about being discovered by others.
Shao Zhongxi stood with his hands behind his back. He was dressed in red and looked extremely handsome.
Qi Yin had already returned. She had a whip hanging from her waist and a sword in her hand. She stood slightly behind Shao Zhongxi. She was also dressed in red and was very tall.
When Xue Yan and Jiang Yue came, they saw the three people standing there..
