“This matter should not be shared with others for now, otherwise there will be a fatal disaster,” Xue Yan said.

Jiang Yue also said, “Make sure Da Yong understands the situation too, just in case. In the future, if anyone really comes to ask you about these things, no matter who it is, you have to say that you don’t know anything. When the time comes, we will personally bring you to testify.”

Doctor Shen had lived to this age and could distinguish between big and small matters. He knew these matters were not up for him to decide and immediately nodded, “Alright, unless you come and pick me up personally, I’ll keep saying that I don’t know anything.”

“That would be best.” Xue Yan and Jiang Yue both nodded, feeling more relieved.

Both of them felt that if someone really wanted to kill the person who could prove that Wei Zizhan was the biological son of Master Wei, then there were two possibilities — one was because of Wei Zizhan. The other could be because of other people from the Imperial Capital.

Firstly, if Wei Zizhan realized that he was not the Crown Prince, he would want to kill everyone who knew that he was not the Crown Prince. This was so that no one would be able to confirm that he was the biological son of Master Wei.

Secondly, someone behind the scenes might want Wei Zizhan to be the Crown Prince just like that. They didn’t want the real Crown Prince to be found, so they might help Wei Zizhan kill those people who knew Wei Zizhan’s true ident.i.ty.

If such a person existed, why would such a person help Wei Zizhan?

They would definitely be a complicated person. They might plan on threatening Wei Zizhan, controlling Wei Zizhan, or making Wei Zizhan a puppet to their plans. As long as Wei Zizhan became the Emperor, on the surface, it would look like Wei Zizhan was the Emperor, but in reality, he, the person in control, would have the final say.

No one knew what the future would be like. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan naturally had to think of all possibilities.

However, no matter what, it was always better to be safe than sorry.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other.

Jiang Yue looked especially calm.

Because, if these two possibilities really happened, no matter which one happened, there would definitely be people who wanted to kill Xue Yan if he was the true Crown Prince. Only then could their scheme succeed even more.

As long as someone knew that Wei Zizhan was not the true Crown Prince, then wasn’t Xue Yan’s life already at stake?

The jade pendant had always been with Xue Yan. Wei Zizhan himself had already said it himself.

For now, his safety was of no concern. This was because Jiang Yue was with Xue Yan every day, Xue Yan would be fine.

Whoever dared to kill Xue Yan would have to go through Jiang Yue first.

Although Xue Yan also felt that he would be in great danger, he also felt that he would be fine. Jiang Yue was very powerful, and if anyone dared to come and take his life, Jiang Yue would definitely not let them off that easily. After those thoughts, his worry lessened and he became more at ease.

Since he was at ease, Xue Yan did not think too much about this matter and asked Doctor Shen, “Do you know the names of the two midwives?”

It would be easier to find out if they had names.

Doctor Shen said, “l don’t know their exact names. I only heard Wei Zizhan’s mother’s servant calling one of them Grandma w.a.n.g and the other Grandma Wu. Grandma Wu was the most famous and best midwife in the county at that time.”

It was also because she did not live in the county. She had always lived in the town, so she actually knew very little about the county.

When they came out of Shen’s Medical Center, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan returned to their rice noodle shop.

As she replied, Jiang Yue whispered to Xue Yan, “l guess we’ll have to find the two midwives and two servants. Laicai, Xiuhua, Grandma w.a.n.g, and Grandma Wu.’

“Yes.” Xue Yan held her hand as usual while also whispering. “The imperial court is quite strict with the household registers. Laicai and Xiuhua are ordinary people. If they were in a nearby village, they would definitely be on the official household register. Tomorrow, when we go to the county to ask around, we can also go to the county government to look for Yiming. He is the County Magistrate of Xinyuan. He might be able to tell us where they are..”
