Chapter 962: Already Fighting
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“The Empress Dowager has always hated people staring at her. We didn’t dare to get too close to the inn. We were afraid that the Empress Dowager would misunderstand. However, when the sky had just turned dark, we secretly patrolled the surroundings and discovered that there were people secretly observing the inn where the Empress Dowager was staying. We couldn’t see their faces clearly, nor did we know where they came from. However, they were all very agile and it was obvious that they were trained. Two of them even held bows and arrows and hid on the roofs on both sides of the inn. They didn’t seem to be protecting the Empress Dowager. It seems like they want to a.s.sa.s.sinate the Empress Dowager, so we gathered the data and immediately came here to report it to you. I have also sent people to keep an eye on those people and prepare to protect the Empress Dowager at any time.”
Shao Zhongxi’s eyes narrowed slightly after he heard his subordinate’s report. He was about to give the order to inform Xue Yan and Jiang Yue about this matter, and he would naturally go to the county immediately. However, just as he stood up, he saw Qi Yin rush in. “Master, His Highness the Crown Prince is here.”
Qi Yin’s voice was also very low.
Laicai and Xiuhua were also living in this inn. They were not all from the Shao family, so they had to be careful when they spoke.
Something important must have happened for Xue Yan to come here in the middle of the night.
The moment Xue Yan entered the door, he saw Shao Zhongxi, looking like he was about to go out, and knew that Shao Zhongxi also had something important to do.
Without waiting for him to ask, Shao Zhongxi told him the report he had just received.
Xue Yan nodded, and also suppressed his voice, “I’m here for this matter as well. Jiang Yue is already making her way there. Those people were Prince Yings men. Zou s.h.i.+si personally saw them rush over from Jingyue, and Prince Yings men were in the Jingyue region. Emperor Yi was in the Jingyue region before disappearing. He must know that my mother and I are here. Emperor Yi must have told Prince Ying about Xinyuan County, but he hadn’t expected to see the Empress Dowager first. Coincidentally, the Empress Dowager didn’t have many people protecting her, so that must be why they plan to kill the Empress Dowager first. Zou s.h.i.+si also heard those people say that they would attack at midnight. Although Jiang Yue is already on her way there, I want to be there too to make sure she is safe so I can have a peace of mind. 1 came here first to ask you to go with me.”
After saying that, he waited for Shao Zhongxi’s reaction.
In the end, Shao Zhongxi was still as cold as ice, as if he wasn’t surprised that he and Jiang Yue already knew what to do.
It was true that Shao Zhongxi had felt that he and Jiang Yue were not simple from the beginning.
At that time, he had even left a note for him and Jiang Yue, saying that there was still a long way to go before he could trust them.
However, after learning that he was the real Crown Prince, Shao Zhongxi’s att.i.tude towards him and Jiang Yue had drastically changed. He had initially wanted to investigate and find out why they were so smart, but now, he willingly accepted that it was just who they were. He didn’t ask much, nor did he investigate anything about Xue Yan and Jiang Yue any further.
Naturally, he also acted as if he completely trusted him and Jiang Yue.
Xue Yan didn’t say anything more and hurriedly went to the county with Shao Zhongxi and some of his men.
When Jiang Yue arrived near Jufang Tavern, midnight was coming to a close. However, the people protecting the Empress Dowager and Prince Yings men had already started fighting, and it looked chaotic.
She knew one of the people protecting the Empress Dowager. One of them was Shao Zhongxi’s subordinate.
Shao Zhongxi had already arranged for people to keep an eye on every corner of Xinyuan. Now that the Empress Dowager was here, they were told to keep an even closer watch. Once the Empress Dowager’s people fought with Prince Ying’s people, Shao Zhongxi!s subordinates that were nearby came to help protect the Empress Dowager..
