If his nephew was also in the South) then wasn’t Xue Yan more likely to be his nephew? His sister had already written to him and told him that Xue Yan looked like his nephew…
“What a pity!” Shao Shuting punched the table beside him.
During the day, his sister sent someone to deliver the news that before she gave birth, her body could not handle any other cuts. Otherwise, her life would be in danger.
He was even more worried that they would lose their lives.
After all, his sister was still pregnant. If something happened to his sister, it would naturally be difficult to give birth to the child. Now, she had to focus on taking care of her body.
If his sister could test her blood, wouldn’t she be able to test if Xue Yan was really her child?
Wouldn’t this whole hunt be over?
Naturally, it was a pity that such things could not go as wished.
Shao Shuting punched the table again.
Although it was too dangerous to send Xue Yan to the Imperial Capital for a blood test, it was not impossible to ensure that Xue Yan was safely sent to the
Imperial Capital. However, it would easily expose the tact that his sister was pregnant in Locust Village. If Xue Yan was not his nephew at all, wouldn’t it be…
This was also the reason why his sister did not let him send Xue Yan to the Imperial Capital to have a blood test with the Emperor.
Unlike Changyu, if they found the child, they would not have to worry about it. Even if Consort Yi and the Ji family knew that they had found the child in Changyu, it would not matter because his sister was not in Changyu at all. It would not affect his sister and the child in her belly. It was possible to send someone to send the child found in Changyu to the Imperial Capital for a blood test. He just had to send more people to protect the child in case anything happened to him.
Since he was familiar with the line from the Imperial Capital to Lingshan Town under Xinyuan County, he would naturally send people to search along this line.
They were doing it just in case it wasn’t that child in Changyu or Xue Yan.
However, Consort Yi and the Ji family had found this secret guard because they followed his second brother. They must have been certain that his nephew was in the South. If they could not find him along the line from the Imperial Capital to Lingshan Town, they would definitely use this line as a benchmark to expand their search. Then, it was very likely that they would find Huaishu Village in Pingan Town.
He couldn’t let this happen. He had to alert his brother.
Even if Zhongxi was being watched by many people, he still had to say something.
With this thought in mind, Shao Shuting hurriedly wrote a letter, informing Shao Zhongxi that his sister was pregnant in Locust Village, and that Xue Yan was likely to be their nephew.
Since his brother had been the bait, and the Ji family and Consort Yi had followed him to find the hidden guard in Lingshan Town, he must be even more certain that his brother was looking for his nephew there. He might even know more detailed clues. Shao Zhongxi had to continue to be the bait to make the Ji family and Consort Yi stop sending people to Pingan Town.
“Even if you die, you can’t let this letter fall into the hands of others.” Shao Shuting instructed.
“Yes, sir!” The person who came to report immediately accepted the order. He also knew that this was no small matter. Otherwise, the Empress, the child in the Empress’ stomach, and the child that was most likely the Crown Prince
would all be in trouble.
This person had come to the county where Shao Zhongxi was located, which was also the county next to Xinyuan County. Because he could not avoid the eyes of the spies for the time being, he could not get close to their superior. However, the matter was urgent, so he dressed up as a tanghulu seller and carried a bundle of tanghulu on his shoulder. He walked past their superior on the street.
As they passed by each other, he quickly passed the letter to one of the king’s attendants.
Coincidentally, their carriage was right in front of them, and Shao Zhongxi got into it..
