Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In any case, the Empress Dowager and Emperor Hao were suspicious of him from the start. If they were completely at ease with him, why would they send people to keep an eye on him?
He had vented his hatred on the middle-aged couple because his plans were ruined.
Seeing the men of sacrifice put the middle-aged couple away, preparing to give him gold and silver when he grew up, Prince Yi ordered a man of sacrifice to capture the entire family of the royal guards and threaten them. If anything happened, they would kill Wei Zizhan and commit suicide before Wei Zizhan could confess.
The royal guards’ families were all ordinary people. One warrior was enough.
Right now, he actually wasn’t afraid that Wei Zizhan would rat him out. After all, after he left, this middle-aged couple would have nothing to say since they already died. The people sent to keep an eye on him were also dead. He had no more witnesses to prove anything.
He couldn’t let Xue Yan know that he was reborn. With such a big bottom line, he had to take responsibility for all the wrongdoings.
Although he was actually not certain that Xue Yan had been reborn, he felt that the baby girl in Xue Yan’s house was definitely an anomaly in this timeline. She was much more suspicious compared to Xue Yan. She must have been reborn earlier than him. However, it was not wrong for him to take everything into account.
The man of sacrifice immediately went to do it.
Prince Yi ordered two men of sacrifice to go to Xinyuan County immediately to do three things. The first was to kill Zhu Laicai and Zhu Xiuhua, so that even if Xue Yan was thought to be the Crown Prince, without these two people as witnesses, there would still be doubts. Then the palace would never recognize
Xue Yan.
The second was to go to Locust Village and see if he could kill Empress Shao and the child in her stomach.
Thirdly, he wanted to investigate Xue Yan and Jiang Yue. He wanted to know if all the changes in his life had anything to do with Xue Yan and Jiang Yue.
However…
“l heard that the baby girl is very skilled and will fight back. In short, you have to be careful. If you feel that something is wrong, immediately come back and report to me.” Prince Yi warned.
He didn’t have many men at hand right now. He only had a few men of sacrifice, so he had to use them wisely.
The most important thing now was to kill the couple and investigate everything so that he could confirm whether Xue Yan and Jiang Yue had been reborn or not.
“Yes, sir!” The two men of sacrifice immediately accepted the order.
He only had five men of sacrifice outside the palace. Three had left, and there were two left. Only then did Prince Yi leave with the other two.
On the morning of New Year’s Eve, Emperor Hao and Empress Dowager Yunzi found out that Prince Yi had disappeared. The couple who had raised Prince Yi had also been killed. The two people who had been watching Prince Yi were also dead.
Empress Dowager Yunzi immediately sighed. “He has gone down the wrong path at such a young age. We’ve made a grave mistake letting him go.” Emperor Hao also sighed with contempt.
However, seeing that his mother had gained a lot of white hair because of Prince Qing’s death and had become even weaker, he naturally had to comfort this mother. “Mother, there is no need to worry too much. Firstly, the Ji family has fallen, and secondly, he isn’t in the best condition. The doctors all say that he will live to be in his twenties at most and should not be able to cause much trouble..
