She had been a competent Empress in the past and a competent Empress Dowager now, but she had never been a competent mother.

Empress Dowager Yunzi couldn’t help but sigh at her own disappointment.

Xue Yan naturally knew why. He was afraid that his mother would be worried about the matter not going smoothly, that was why he did not tell her.

Otherwise, he would have already told his mother that he was her son the moment he had enough evidence.

“Of course, I will tell her immediately.” Xue Yan said.

Empress Dowager Yunzi nodded again before letting the Imperial Censor and the others leave.

Only Empress Dowager Yunzi, Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, and Shao Zhongxi were left in the room.

Everyone with discerning eyes knew what Empress Dowager Yunzi wanted to say to them. Since there were others present, she did not. Now that there weren’t, Xue Yan and Jiang Yue’s eyes met.

They all felt that Empress Dowager Yunzi was going to talk about Prince Ying.

In the past few days, Empress Dowager Yunzi had not mentioned Prince Ying to anyone, so the Imperial Censors and the officials of the Supreme Court had no idea that those a.s.sa.s.sins had been sent by Prince Ying.

As expected, the Empress Dowager Yunzi did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point. She spoke bluntly to them, “About Prince Ying…” After sighing, she continued, “All of you should pretend not to know about this matter. When I return to the capital, I will discuss this matter with the

Emperor.”

She wanted them to stay out of this matter.

Looking at Empress Dowager Yunzi’s expression, it didn’t seem like she was afraid of alerting the enemy, which was why she had them pretend not to know.

Xue Yan and Jiang Yue both found it strange, even Shao Zhongxi.

Furthermore, the three of them felt that something was amiss, which was why Empress Dowager Yunzi was acting like this.

However, none of them dared to ask anything.

The Empress Dowager was not someone who would answer whatever they asked. Moreover, since she had said so, she was not ent.i.tled to explain the reason behind it. Her deciding for them was also a signal for them not to ask. Even if they asked, she would not say anything.

It was only when they came out of Empress Dowager Yunzi’s room and Shao Zhongxi had separated from them that Jiang Yue asked Xue Yan in a suppressed voice, “What else is there that we don’t know?”

“l don’t know.” Xue Yan shook his head.

He really did not know.

In his previous life, when he was an official, his grandmother had died early on. He had never seen his grandmother. Even though he had helped Emperor Yi settle Prince Yings matter, he knew nothing about Prince Ying that could cause his grandmother to have such an att.i.tude.

“That’s strange.” Jiang Yue fell into deep thought.

Xue Yan also felt that it was very strange and pondered.

However, the two of them could only stay confused. In the end, they threw this matter to the back of their minds and did not think about it anymore.

Still, they would not ignore this matter.

They didn’t trust anyone else to handle this matter. Prince Ying had the reborn Emperor Yi his side, so the Empress Dowager Yunzi and the Emperor might not be able to resolve this matter.

The next day, Xue Yan began to practice the horse stance at dawn as usual. He did it in the backyard of their rice noodle shop. After breakfast, he held Jiang Yue’s hand and went to the big house behind Quanping Inn to practice martial arts with Shao Zhongxi.

After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Empress Dowager Yunzi sent someone to invite him over.

Empress Dowager Yunzi and the Imperial Censor were going to test him.

He had already prepared a room specially for Xue Yan.

Although he had only been a regent in his previous life, after Emperor Yi pa.s.sed away, Emperor Ling was still young when he took over the throne. He was only three years old. In fact, for a long time, Xue Yan was the one handling everything. He was no different from an Emperor. He knew how to be an Emperor, the art of governing a country, and the art of bringing peace to the country..
