“Yes, sir!” Qi Yin immediately accepted the order.

At the same time, a fast horse galloped into the Imperial Capital.

The person on the horse was Qiye.

Qiye returned to the Duke’s residence the moment he entered Sovereign Capital.

When Shao Boqi heard that Qiye had returned, he hurriedly came to the front hall from behind.

“Sir! Please forgive me for my incompetence!” Qiye knelt down and offered the letter with both hands, pleading for forgiveness. “This letter was written by His Highness on the second day of the first lunar month. He asked me to deliver it to you. It should have been delivered to you on the fifth and sixth day of the first lunar month, but there was a landslide on the way, blocking the road. There were no villagers along the way.”

“That was a natural disaster, it’s not your fault. What crime did you commit? Get up, quickly.” Shao Boqi took the letter with one hand and helped her up with the other.

“Thank you, sir.”

Shao Boqi opened the letter.

A few days ago, he had received a letter from his Shao Zhongxi. It had been sent by Siye.

He learned that Wei Zizhan had a birthmark on the sole of his foot and was not the Crown Prince, instead, Xue Yan was the true heir.

The evidence was found by Xue Yan and Jiang Yue. It was enough to show that his strategy was amazing. However, because Shao Zhongxi said in the letter that Xue Yan and Jiang Yue had already formulated their own plans, he was naturally not in a hurry to report this matter to the Emperor.

Now, another letter arrived. The content of the letter was if he could report to the Emperor and ask the Emperor if he could send someone from the Imperial Capital to receive the evidence.

“Good! That’s great!” After Shao Boqi read the letter, he could not hide his joy. His real nephew was finally going to ascend the throne! “Qiye, you’ve worked hard these past few days. Go and rest.”

“Thank you!’

When Qiye went to rest, Shao Boqi went into the palace.

In the palace, Emperor Hao had just finished approving the memorial and came out of the royal study. He had to go to Prince Qings mourning hall outside the palace. Prince Qing had not been buried yet and was about to be buried. It would be on the 15th day of the first month.

“Your Majesty!” Shao Boqi hurried up the steps. “l have something to report!’

Emperor Hao noticed Shao Boqi’s arrival and stood with his hands behind his back, “What’s the matter?”

Shao Boqi immediately said, “Shao Zhongxi has already investigated the matter in Xinyuan County. Wei Zizhan’s left foot has a chain birthmark near the gap between his toes. He is not the Crown Prince, Xue Yan is!”

“Wait…” Emperor Hao raised his hand, looking like he didn’t understand and needed time to process everything. “You were there on the day of the blood test. You saw it with your own eyes. Our bloods matched. How could he not be my son?”

Shao Boqi said, “Initially, we believed it as well. However, we later discovered that blood tests are not accurate at all. You can get a few servants to do the blood test. You will soon see that even if some are not related, the bloods will still merge.”

“Prepare the water!” Emperor Hao hurriedly said.

“Yes, Your Highness!” The head eunuch hurriedly asked someone to prepare water. When the water arrived, he even personally checked if there was anything wrong with the water. After confirming that there was no problem, the chief eunuch was the first to cut his finger and drip a drop of blood into each bowl.

The guards at the side also cut their fingers and dripped blood into the bowl. Even without Emperor Hao’s blood, he could see that the blood of many guards merged with the blood of the head eunuch. Even if some of them were not compatible with the head eunuch’s blood, they were compatible with the other guards.

Emperor Hao’s face instantly turned dark from the new information..
