Translator: Endlessæantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Empress Dowager Yunzi composed herself and tried to keep her head clear so that she could a.n.a.lyze this matter.
Previously, she had received news that a death warrior had snuck into Jiangs house. She also knew that the death warrior had told her that Emperor Yi had sent him.
The death warrior had also told her about Emperor Yi t s situation in Zhanchang County. She had also received other news.
When Shao Zhongxi had sent someone to inform her and her son Emperor Hao of this matter, he had also sent someone to the Shoulai Inn in Zhanchang County. During that time, Emperor Yi had already run away.
Through these reports, she was certain that Wei Zizhan had told Emperor Yi everything he knew, which was why Emperor Yi was sending men to kill everyone.
Prince Yings men had come straight for Xinyuan county, and Emperor Yi had been in the Jingyue region. They were Prince Yings fief. Could Emperor Yi have told Prince Ying about this information? Moreover, did that mean
Emperor Yi was most likely still in Jingyue?
Other than Xue Yan, who was most likely her grandson, and her daughter-in-law, Shao Youyue, what else was there for Prince Ying to send someone to kill the Emperor??
In other words, Prince Yings target must be Xue Yan and Shao Youyue.
Since she had coincidentally come here and was accidentally discovered by Prince Yings men, some plans changed. As she had come to Xinyuan secretly and did not have many people protecting her, they had acted against her…
If that was really the case, Prince Ying must be the one with disloyal intentions.
Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Yunzi’s face darkened again.
Immediately, she called over a person and whispered in a voice that only that person could hear, “Those people are most likely Prince Yings men. Go and test them and see what their reactions are.’
“Yes, sir!” This person was her confidant, so she immediately left.
Empress Dowager Yunzi thought that no one else could hear her, but Jiang Yue did.
It was mainly because she was standing in front of Empress Dowager Yunzi and was very close to her.
Could it be Prince Yings men?
It was obvious that Empress Dowager Yunzi did not completely trust her.
She did not take it to heart. Xue Yan’s evaluation of the Empress Dowager was still quite high, it made sense that the Empress Dowager was a skeptical person.
Empress Dowager Yunzi did not know that Jiang Yue’s hearing was so good. She looked around to see if anyone heard it and nodded. She smiled at Jiang Yue and stood up.
She hadn’t even asked, but this kid had already taken the initiative to say it. She must have expected her to ask.
The Imperial Censor looked exhausted, but he stood watch. The people were afraid to leave the house after the commotion. The innkeeper and the waiter were shivering under the table.
“We should not stay here any longer. Staying here would be too eye-catching.” This was also why she never stayed in a posthouse every time she left the capital. Empress Dowager Yunzi looked at Jiang Yue and asked with a smile, “Do you know where I can stay temporarily?”
“Pingan Town, Quanping Inn.” Jiang Yue said. That was the Shao family’s territory, and Shao Zhongxi was currently staying at the inn. Even if someone came to a.s.sa.s.sinate the Empress Dowager again, even if she was not present, the Empress Dowager’s life would not be in danger.
Moreover, Laicai and Xiuhua were also staying in this inn, making it more convenient for the Empress Dowager to receive the evidence.
That inn was also close to her shop, so it was convenient for her and Xue Yan to go over.
Empress Dowager Yunzi arrived at Xinyuan County during the day. When she was settling down at the inn, someone told her that Shao Zhongxi was currently in Quanping Inn in Pingan Town..
