Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were doing their own things, so they would look at their progress from time to time. Sometimes, when Li Qingshu and the others didn’t understand the drawings, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan would explain in detail and let Li Qingshu, Lu Zhuangniu, and the others build according to the drawings. They were very careful, and as long as they built according to the drawings, there shouldn’t be any problems.
Five days later, in the capital city.
Consort Yi was allowed to return home to visit her father. Her father, Marquis Ji, had been ill recently.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe was relieved to see that her father was fine.
Her brother, Ji Qiwei, rushed in when they were having a good chat. The moment Ji Qiwei entered, she dismissed all the servants. “All of you, leave.” “Yes.” The servants all left respectfully.
Consort Yi glanced at the maids behind her, and they immediately scurried out.
“Now that everyone is gone,” Ji Qiwei lowered his voice and hurriedly spoke. “I just received news that Shao Shuting is still in Xinyuan County.”
“Why is he still there? Is Emperor Shu really in Xinyuan County?” Consort Yi’s beautiful willow-like eyebrows furrowed.
Marquis Ji also frowned.
“For now, I can’t confirm whether Emperor Shu is in Xinyuan County or not. However, the secret report I received can confirm one thing… Shao Shuting is currently recuperating in a small village called Locust Village in Xinyuan County.” Ji Qiwei said.
“He’s not recuperating in the military camp, nor has he returned to the Imperial Capital. Instead. he’s recuperating in Locust Village. He should have submitted a letter of absence to the Emperor, but the Emperor didn’t even mention it…” Marquis Ji’s eyebrows furrowed even more. “The Emperor is obviously still biased toward the Shao family,” he added after a long while.
“If he didn’t favor the Shao family,” Consort Yi sneered, “Would he still lower his ego to go to the Empress’s place when the Empress is in such a messy state?”
No matter how much she was doted on, she couldn’t be compared to the Shao family’s daughter! This thought made her livid!
Marquis Ji sighed and looked at his son.”What else is there?”
Only then did Ji Qiwei continue. “He’s been recuperating there for more than twenty days. If he hadn’t ordered people to help a family of farmers who saved him. He wouldn’t have revealed his identity at the county office and our people wouldn’t even know he’s still in Xinyuan County.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe two people who died in the alley were assassins trained by their family. They didn’t manage to get rid of Shao Shuting, but were killed by him in the alley instead. No one in their family would be st*pid enough to identify the bodies-
However, it was also from that day that Shao Shuting suddenly disappeared.
“There’s one more thing,” Ji Qiwei continued, “WE suspect that child is Emperor Shu, but if he really is… He doesn’t look like him..
Upon hearing that it was news about Emperor Shu, Consort Yi and Marquis Ji were both a little anxious.
“What child? Don’t just stop there. Out with it.”
Ji Qiwei explained in detail, “He said that when they were investigating Shao Shuting in Locust Village, they accidentally discovered that the farmer family who saved Shao Shuting had a seven-year-old boy. He was found on the streets seven years ago, so they suspected that he might be Emperor Shu.
Although… if that was Emperor Shu, then it wouldn’t make a lot of sense.
Wouldn’t Shao Shuting immediately bring the boy back to the Imperial Capital? Wouldn’t he want to use a large number of troops to protect him in case something unexpected happened? Either way, Shao Shuting is still recuperating there, and the child still goes wherever he wants to go. Therefore, I don’t think he is Emperor Shu.”
Marquis Ji nodded and agreed, “You’re right. If that child was really Emperor Shu, the Shao family would have taken action long ago. He would not just sit around and wait for us to find him..
