They really meant it when they said till death do us part.
When Jiang Yue saw Xue Yan’s expression, she roughly guessed that Doctor Shen and his wife had died together in his previous life.
Whether it was Xue Yan or Jiang Yue, they all nodded, indicating that they would find Doctor Shen.
“It’s probably Prince Yi,” Jiang Yue said in a low voice after Shen Yuxuan left.
Xue Yan nodded. Since Doctor Shen was taken to treat a patient, it meant that there must be someone sick. Prince Yi had been weak since he was young, and his body was always getting sick. Furthermore, Jingyue and Changyu were not far from each other. They were both in the North. After escaping from Prince Ying’s residence, Prince Yi went to Changyu. Moreover, he was so clear that there were spies everywhere in Xinyuan. That was why those three people did not dare to enter Xinyuan, and they were also very clear about his relationship with Shen Yuxuan… The possibility of it being Prince Yigan was extremely high.
However…
Xue Yan also lowered his voice and said, “There’s something that doesn’t make sense. Zhen Dalang’s family and Da Yong were released. If Prince Yi sent someone to do this, he wouldn’t be so merciful.
“If our guess is correct, Doctor Shen must have been taken away to treat Prince Yi, then the person who came to take Prince Yi away should not be Prince Yi’s people. Prince Yi likely used someone to send someone to take Doctor Shen away, and that person did not want to kill innocent people, so the person told the three people to spare the lives of others.” Pausing for a moment, he continued, “I’ve compiled a map of the names of the people that Prince Yi might use. I don’t know anyone that Prince Yi might use in Changyu. If this is Prince Yi, then he must have used someone that I’ve never met before.
“No wonder the people I sent to keep an eye on didn’t come back to report anything wrong. Since that is the case, he must have thought of a different way to take away Doctor Shen. Even if we know that Doctor Shen is safe, as long as we do not know the identity of those three people and do not know where Doctor Shen was taken, we will not be able to find him.
“I reckon that he and those three people who sent him would not expect Doctor Shen to be so quick-witted to leave clues.”
Jiang Yue nodded in agreement. Then, she muttered thoughtfully, “A person that you would never have thought of… Hmm.. If they’re in Changyu, who do you think is the least likely person to be used by Prince Yi?”
Hearing that, Xue Yan sighed.
“Duan Huai was promoted by my father. He did not come from a prominent family, but he was righteous and loyal to the king. He was trusted and valued by my father. He was his confidant.
“My father gave him two hundred thousand soldiers for the Northern Army. In my previous life, after my father passed away, he was still extremely loyal and patriotic, guarding the north till the end.
“In the end, he died on the battlefield when he was in his forties. If he was really being used by Prince Yi, it would explain why those three didn’t kill Da Yong and the others. It also makes sense if it was him. In my previous life, my father died and Prince Yi succeeded to the throne. He was also loyal to Prince Yi. It looks like Prince Yi has something on him.”
Speaking up to here, Xue Yan sighed again.
In his previous life, Duan Huai had always been guarding the North and never entered the capital many times. He had only met Duan Huai a few times, but he still admired Duan Huai’s character. He had spent his entire life protecting the peace of the North.
At that time, because Prince Yi was the Emperor, Duan Huai was extremely loyal to the Emperor and his country. He was also loyal to Prince Yi. Not only him, but even others did not feel that there was anything wrong with him.
