“Wei Zizhan could potentially be His Highness the Crown Prince.”

“You guys continue to search here,” Shao Zhongxi said. “Siye and Qiye, follow me to the p.a.w.nshop.”

“Yes, sir!”

In the room behind the p.a.w.nshop, Wei Zizhan was tired from crying. He was squatting in the room while hugging himself. Sanye was watching him from the door.

When Sanye saw Shao Zhongxi striding in, he quickly cupped his fists and knelt on one knee to salute Shao Zhongxi. “Your Highness!”

Your Highness?

Wei Zizhan was so frightened that he trembled and moved back a little.

Shao Zhongxi didn’t care if he was cold or if he would scare Wei Zizhan. He asked directly, “Wei Zizhan?”

“How do you know my name?” Wei Zizhan was so frightened that he was trembling.

Qi Ye and the others were delighted with the response.

Shao Zhongxi’s brows relaxed a little. This was indeed his nephew.

“Your Highness!” Qi Ye and the others hurriedly knelt down and bowed to Wei Zizhan.

Wei Zizhan trembled even more and fiercely shook his head. “I’m not the

Crown Prince, I’m not, I’m not…”

“You are.” Shao Zhongxi said. “Ji Yi said that in order to protect you, he left you at the entrance of the Wei family. You’re the only one in the Wei family who’s about the same age as the Crown Prince, and you have the jade pendant as proof.”

“Who… Who is Ji Yi?” Wei Zizhan was stunned. What did he mean by leaving him at the Wei family’s doorstep? Was he not the biological son of the Wei family?

“The secret guard who carried you away back then.”

Wei Zizhan understood. It was a secret guard who had placed His Highness the Crown Prince at the Wei family’s door back then, but he was even more confused. If that was really the case, then he might be the Crown Prince…

However, why did his family say that his mother died because she gave birth to him? And his mother was his father’s favorite consort, so his father never liked him and thought that he was the one who killed his mother… This didn’t seem fake… Was he really the biological child of the Wei family?

However, everyone in the academy knew that the jade pendant was something that Xue Yan had carried with him when he was a baby… Then shouldn’t Xue Yan be His Highness the Crown Prince? Although… If that was the case, why wasn’t Xue Yan brought up in the Wei Family?

If he really was the Crown Prince, why wasn’t the jade pendant with him in the first place?

Why was it with Xue Yan?

Wei Zizhan was absolutely baffled.

Originally they thought that Xue Yan was His Highness the Crown Prince, but now that Wei Zizhan was here, they all started to think that he might really be His Highness the Crown Prince.

“However,” Shao Zhongxi said coldly, “The royal bloodline is very important. When we return to the Imperial Capital, you still have to do a blood test with the Emperor. Only then can we officially acknowledge your t.i.tle.”

Wei Zizhan now felt that he could also be the Crown Prince, so he was not as resistant to a blood test as he was in the beginning.

There was still a part of him that was worried that he wasn’t. After all, he was the one who picked up the jade pendant; it didn’t originally belong to him.

However, before he could say anything, Shao Zhongxi continued, “The officers in Heshi County were ma.s.sacred, and no one survived. The Heshi County Magistrate also died in the back. If you hadn’t come to the p.a.w.nshop, you would have died as well.”

Wei Zizhan immediately started to cry.

He wasn’t sad, he was frightened to the point of tears.

He almost died today.

Fortunately, he came to the p.a.w.nshop to redeem something.

His family did not treat him very well. He often hoped that they would all die so that everything in the Wei family would be his. Now that they were all dead, he naturally had nothing to be sad about.

The others thought that he was crying because he was sad.

“Your Highness, I’m sorry for your loss,” Qi Ye consoled. No matter what, that was the family that adopted the Crown Prince..
