Chapter 802 - 802: Prince Qing
After lunch, they took advantage of the fact that Xue Yifu did not go to the old house to do woodwork. They hurried to the old house and found the swaddling clothes that Xue Yan was wrapped inside in Liu Guixia’s room. The swaddling clothes were of excellent quality. It had been so many years, but they still looked as good as new. The embroidery on them was also very intricate.
Regardless of whether they came from the palace or not, they had to take it in case it could be used as evidence. Therefore, Jiang Yue wrapped them up in a bag and put them into her space.
It was safest for her to keep it.
Xue Yan saw the bundle disappear in Jiang Yue’s hands just like that, and knew that Jiang Yue must have put it away for him, so he naturally didn’t say anything.
Jiang Yue asked him, “The evidence has been found. It can prove that you are the real Crown Prince at any time. When do you plan to prove it?”
“Let’s wait a little longer.” Xue Yan said. “When the Empress Dowager receives the letter, she will definitely tell the Emperor. They must have their own personal plans as well. No matter what they are planning, they have to draw in the net in advance. We should wait till this matter ends first before doing anything else. Otherwise, it will distract them.”
“Alright then.” Jiang Yue nodded in agreement. “Then, we won’t say anything to Aunt Xiao, lest they find out that you wrote the letter.”
If he told the Empress that he was the Crown Prince, it would make the
Empress want to tell the Shao family and Emperor Hao. If they asked the Empress not to tell anyone else, the Empress would definitely ask why. They could not tell the Empress Dowager that Emperor Hao had other plans.
As such, it was better not to talk about it first.
“Good plan.” Xue Yan nodded. He thought so too. Fortunately, his mother was in a good mood. Even if she did not know that he was her biological son for
the time being, it did not matter.
At the same time, in the capital city.
Emperor Hao was in the royal study reviewing memorials when he was informed the Empress Dowager had sent someone back. Apparently, it was urgent and extremely important.
Without waiting for Emperor Hao to continue, a person rushed in. He knelt down and didn’t even have the time to explain in detail before he handed over the letter with both hands.
When Emperor Hao saw the words on the envelope, he understood that his mother had received another letter. When he saw the contents of the letter, he also stood up in shock.
The writer somehow knew that Ji Xiehui was his man!
He couldn’t wait any longer. He had to deal with the Ji family effectively immediately.
Emperor Hao immediately called out a group of secret guards and ordered them to give orders to all places. They were set to act on the 22nd of this month. They had to uproot the Ji family.
If he discovered anything wrong before this day, he could take action in advance.
“Make sure everyone listed in the book is dead.” Emperor Hao said coldly. Ji Xiehui had secretly given him a booklet. It was filled with the names of the Ji family, including the Minister of Revenue.
“Yes, sir!”
This group of secret guards immediately scattered and went to various places to give orders.
Emperor Hao thought for a moment and sent someone to secretly inform Shao Shuting of the latest update. He asked Shao Shuting to secretly mobilize a portion of his men to support Ji Xiehui in the West. They had to outflank him and get rid of those old subordinates that colluded with the Ji family. They must not let those old subordinates harm more civilians.
Just as the person who had been sent left quietly, the chief eunuch came in and reported a new matter, “Emperor, Prince Qing has returned and is currently waiting outside.”
He was Emperor Hao’s younger brother from the same mother and had a good relationship with Emperor Hao since he was young..
