“Originally, I wanted to personally ask Xue Dafu’s family and the people around Xue Dafu when he picked up the child, but 1 was instructed to not tell that family about this information. Even when I talked to the village chief for questioning, I told him to keep his mouth shut and not let a single word leak out.
“Thus, I have Laicai and Xiuhua, shopkeeper Cheng Laowu, and the two assistants who were Laowu’s helpers back then to secretly go and identify the person who picked up the child. Xue Dafu looks similar to many farmers around his age, but Zhu Laicai, Cheng Laowu, and the other three recognized him immediately. They all said that he was the one who picked up the lost child,
“Even though I didn’t ask Xue Dafu’s family personally, nor did I ask the people around Xue Dafu when he found the child, the evidence I have now is more than sustainable to make a conclusion.
“The jade pendant, swaddling clothes, and small clothes match. The dates match as well. The person who threw them and the person who picked them up the match as well. There are so many witnesses and so many of them are ordinary people that would have no other motive than to speak the truth.
They are usually kind people. If we reveal our identities to them, some of them will be scared to death. This information can’t be fake. No one can make so many people lie without any flaws.”
The Minister of Justice bowed and saluted.
“There is no longer any doubt about this matter. Xue Yan is the Crown Prince!” “Good!” Empress Dowager Yunzi was overjoyed.
Only then did the Imperial Censor hurriedly support himself on the armrest.
He stood up and congratulated, “Congratulations, Empress Dowager. His Highness the Crown Prince has really been found. There is no mistake that he is the one.’
“Yes, I am thankful for that.” Empress Dowager Yunzi also heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was no doubt about this information. Otherwise, this child would have to be questioned again and go through a long process. Then, she looked at an attendant standing at the side.
The attendant immediately went to receive the order.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were not in their rice noodle shop at the moment, nor were they in Quanping Inn. Instead, they were in the large courtyard behind Quanping Inn. Xue Yan was practicing martial arts with Shao Zhongxi while Jiang Yue was watching from the side.contemporary romance
Xue Yan and Jiang Yue didn’t care about the investigation, they were all in this big house practicing. They would only go back to the shop to eat and sleep.
That attendant knew what to do and went straight to this large courtyard house. The moment he entered the large courtyard house, he just happened to see Xue Yan’s practicing stance.
Xue Yan and Jiang Yue saw an attendant of the Empress Dowager arrive. The two of them looked at each other and knew that the Minister of Justice had finally investigated thoroughly and come to a decisive conclusion. The attendant being here must mean that the Empress Dowager wanted to see him.
Shao Zhongxi also looked at the attendant.
The attendant quickly walked over and hurriedly knelt on one knee. He saluted Xue Yan and conveyed the Empress Dowager’s intentions. “Your
Highness the Crown Prince, the Empress Dowager invites you for a discussion.’
Previously, he had always called him Xue Yan, but now, he is being called the Crown Prince…
It was enough to show that the Minister of Justice had really investigated and there was no doubt at all that Xue Yan was the Crown Prince.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other again. Then, the two of them followed the attendant.
Shao Zhongxi also followed them, but he stayed at the back.
When the Imperial Censor and the Minister of Justice saw Xue Yan, they no longer bowed like before. Instead, they hurriedly lifted their robes and knelt on the ground, performing a respectful bow. “Your Highness the Crown Prince. May you live a healthy and prosperous life.”
Hui Xiang and the other servants also knelt on the ground and bowed. “Your
Highness the Crown Prince. May you live a healthy and prosperous life.”
Xue Yan had already expected to encounter this situation the moment he entered the door, so he said, “Please, stand up..”
