Chapter 775: Taking the Initiative

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Because, that also meant that Xue Yan’sfather would rather lose Xue Yan, the

Crown Prince, in order to carry out his plans. Even if he might be a good Emperor, he was absolutely not a good father. She did not wish for Xue Yan to have such a father.

Moreover, it had been so many years, yet he was still enduring it and had yet to reach whatever goal he wanted. Didn’t this indirectly prove that he was still useless overall?

When Xue Yan heard Shao Youyue’s words, he also felt that there were two possibilities. One was that the Emperor was useless, and the second was that the Emperor was scheming something.

Moreover, from Dongyu’s words, his father was not a st*pid person.

The second possibility was naturally more likely.

With this, Xue Yan suddenly thought about his past.

In his previous life, after the Emperor passed away, not only did the Empress

Dowager die suddenly, but the Emperor’s younger brother also died suddenly.

Moreover, the Emperor had passed away… No, it was Ji Xiehui, the Western Garrison General who assassinated him within two days of his coma. It was unknown who poisoned him, but there were rumors that it was done by the Shao family because the Shao family and the Ji family had never been on good terms and had always wanted to kill each other.

Dongyu was an official in the Imperial Capital back then. He often wrote to him and mentioned this to him.

Now, it seemed that Ji Xiehui was very likely the Emperor’s man.

Dongyu had also mentioned to him that the West Garrison General was not Marquis Ji t s biological son. Marquis Ji had picked him up on the street. At that time, Ji Xiehui was already nine years old, which was 15 years ago.

Could it be that the West Garrison General, the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and Prince Qing were on the same side, but the Ji family found out about their secret plot? Knowing this, the Ji family went all out and killed everyone one by one. This also meant that the West Garrison General was also killed by the Ji family, right?

The Ji family must have killed him!

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the West Garrison Army to remain calm even after the death of the West Garrison General. It was still firmly in the Ji family’s hands. It was obvious that the Ji family did it themselves to eliminate the mole.

How could the Ji family have found out about something that had been planned for so many years?

How did the Ji family kill these four people without batting an eyelid? These four people were not ordinary people… Could it be that they took advantage of the fact that the four of them did not know that they had actually discovered it? Was that why they were able to kill the four of them so smoothly?

Or was it because someone in his father’s faction had rebelled?

He felt that if no one had rebelled, it would not have been so smooth.

After all, that was the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, a Prince, and a General. None of them were ordinary people, and they had all died in such a

short period of time.

It was obvious that someone rebelled.

After coming out of Shao Youyue’s small house, Xue Yan suppressed his voice and told Jiang Yue about this.

“Yes.” Jiang Yue nodded and lowered her voice. “Someone definitely rebelled. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for things to go that smoothly. This means that your father must really be secretly plotting something. That’s why he hasn’t dealt with the Ji family and Consort Yi yet.”

“Yes.” It was very obvious to the two kids.

“Can you think of anyone who might be the traitor in this?” Jiang Yue asked him.

Xue Yan thought carefully again before shaking his head. Although he couldn’t think of who it could be, he still thought, “I have to write another letter to the

Empress Dowager.” he said.

Was he taking the initiative to counterattack?

Previously, although he had written a letter to the Empress Dowager, he had always been very passive because he had always wanted to stay in this village. However, now that he was the Crown Prince, he knew that he could live his life as an ordinary person. He naturally understood that only by occupying an absolutely dominant position could he ensure the safety of everyone he cared about..
