Only then did Shao Boqi snap out of his mind and start analyzing the situation, “This is true… But if that’s the case, why would Yucen help him?” she retorted.
“Only Yucen knows the situation,” Shao Zhongxi said.
Shao Boqi immediately wanted to call his daughter back.
“What’s the use of calling her back?” Shao Zhongxi stopped her. “She won’t admit it no matter what we try to do. If that’s the case, and if she knew what we were up to, she’d just end up alerting the enemy.”
“If that’s the case, then what kind of daughter did I raise…”
Shao Zhongxi was silent for a moment. Then, he said, “If there’s something wrong with the whole thing, she’ll give herself away sooner or later. You should make sure she doesn’t go too far.”
Shao Boqi was very sad, but he nodded.
…
The person was indeed Sun Ai. So, the next morning, Shao Boqi and Shao Zhongxi rushed into the palace and told Emperor Xue Yan about this matter.
Xue Yan then sent someone to inform Wufu and Fu Ying of this matter.
Fu Ying had returned to the inn last night. She still trusted Censor Wang. Censor Wang was her father’s confidant and also her confidant. She felt that Censor Wang would never do such a thing behind her back. Therefore, Censor Wang was no longer confined and could enter and leave the inn freely.
The other servant of Censor Wang was a servant of Censor Wang’s family. He had grown up by Censor Wang’s side and was very firm about his background. He couldn’t do such a thing. Moreover, Censor Wang had used his head as a guarantee that his servant was innocent. Therefore, the other servant was also released from confinement and regained his freedom.
There was no one else on the diplomatic team who was close to Sun Ai. Moreover, they were in Da Ling now, not Beicheng. If they wanted to investigate Sun Ai’s true background, they would have to send someone back to Beicheng. Therefore, once they confirmed that the thief was Sun Ai and that he was hiding in Yucen’s room last night, Fu Ying sent someone back to Beicheng to investigate everyone who knew Sun Ai. She even went as far as to investigate Sun Ai’s residence and the places he had lived before… She felt that there would always be some clues. Sun Ai couldn’t do this alone for no reason. There must be someone behind it.
Xue Yan had the same attitude as Shao Zhongxi when it came to the possibility of Shao Yucen having a problem. He did not reveal it for now. If Shao Yucen had a problem, it would be revealed sooner or later. He just had to pay more attention to it.
Because of this incident, Xue Yan did not go out of the city to the military camp as planned today.
Sun Ai also felt that although Xue Yan had planned to leave the city early in the morning to take a look at the military camp, he might not go anymore because of what happened that night. It was impossible for Shao Zhongxi and Shao Boqi not to report to Xue Yan what happened first thing in the morning. Therefore, the possibility of Xue Yan going to the military camp today was low. However, just in case, Sun Ai still laid an ambush along the road to the camp. It was not until the morning passed that he did not see any trace of Xue Yan. Only then did he leave the ambush point and go to the riverside five miles outside the city to wait.
However, considering that Shao Yucen might change her mind or something unexpected might happen, Sun Ai decided to be on the safe side. Even if he were to wait, he was not really by the river. Instead, he was hiding some distance away from the river.
Sun Ai was busy being sneaky. On the other hand, Shao Yucen was at home, feeling very uneasy.
Last night, Sun Ai didn’t cover his face. He was from Beicheng. Her father and uncle had already recognized that man. Her father had also gone to the palace early in the morning to talk about this matter. However, the day was almost over, and no one had done anything to Empress Beicheng and the diplomatic team…
“Could it be that…” Shao Yucen was suddenly delighted.
Sun Ai didn’t lie to her! Fu Ying and the Beicheng diplomatic team had a foolproof plan, which was why they dared to personally go to Da Ling and let him do these things!
