In other words, it was very possible that someone had captured the royal guard’s family and threatened him to do so.

“It must be because of Prince Yi!” Shao Boqi immediately continued, “Previously, Prince Yi privately looked for Wei Zizhan and even dismissed the servants, only speaking to Wei Zizhan alone. Otherwise, why would he keep an eye on Wei Zizhan? Wei Zizhan probably told him a lot of things he knew.” “That happened?” Empress Dowager Yunzi frowned. Why hadn’t she heard of

Emperor Hao quickly said,” Mother, forgive me. I wanted to tell you, but ever since he died… You’ve been on edge. I didn’t want you to worry. I would have told you after the funeral. Right now, the matter of Wei Zizhan not being the Crown Prince is bigger than the funeral.”

“So that’s how it is.” Empress Dowager Yunzi sighed. After a pause, she asked,

“Didn’t you do a blood test? How can he be fake?”

Shao Boqi only took off the shoes and socks on Wei Zizhan’s left foot, revealing the bottom of Wei Zizhan’s left foot. There was a chain birthmark near the gap between his fingers.

Emperor Hao explained that the blood test was not reliable.

Empress Dowager Yunzi shook her head. Fortunately, they found out sooner than later. Otherwise, their land would have fallen into the hands of others in the future.

“If Wei Zizhan isn’t your son, does that mean Xue Yan is?”

“Yes, and there is sufficient evidence to prove it.”

Empress Dowager Yunzi said, “There is no room for error in the royal bloodline, not to mention the future heir to the throne. If there is any doubt, Xue Yan would not be accepted.”

Emperor Hao said, “Mother, don’t worry. Even if there is a little doubt, I will never do such a foolish thing again. I will make sure he is my son. From what I know now, Shao Boqi informed me that there is sufficient evidence that proves that Xue Yan is the Crown Prince. The problem is that the evidence can’t be moved into the city.

“l was also informed that the Empress is resting there, as well as for the safety of the Empress and the child in her stomach, it is best for me to send a trusted guard to secretly go to Xinyuan County to receive the evidence. From there, we can also verify the authenticity of the evidence and make sure there were no more doubts.’

“That’s good.” Empress Dowager Yunzi nodded. After thinking for a while, she said, “How about this? When your brother is buried, I’ll personally bring some people over to help you. It just so happens that I still have something to do and need to go to Xinyuan County.”

Shao Boqi found it strange. What matter could the Empress Dowager have not finished and needed to go to Xinyuan County?

It was the same before. The Empress Dowager was actually moving from the Imperial Capital to Xinyuan. She was not looking for Xue Yan. He did not know what she was looking for no matter what angle he looked at it. However, as a lower ranking official, he did not dare to ask.

However, Emperor Hao was clear.

His mother had received two letters and had already confirmed that the person who wrote the letter was most likely in Xinyuan County. She had returned previously because she was afraid that something would happen in the Imperial Capital. In the future, she will definitely go to Xinyuan County to investigate further.

He would be more at ease if his mother brought the people to collect the evidence.

As the Emperor, he had to guard the capital city. It was not good for him to leave the capital city. Otherwise, he would have long gone to see the Empress..
