Then, he stopped asking.
Shao Boqi sighed and said, “The Emperor is in danger. You’re safe at home, but everything is on high alert right now. It’s obvious that there are dangerous people in the Imperial Capital. He doesn’t plan to bring more people with him the day after tomorrow. He only plans to bring one or two people with him. He said that it’s too dangerous if too many people know that he’s going to the military camp that day, and it’s useless when we try to persuade him.”
He sighed again.
Then, as if he was talking to himself, he took the sword and continued practicing.
Shao Yucen was even happier with the information given.
Shao Boqi noticed from the corner of his eye that his daughter’s eyebrows could not hide the joy that appeared. Naturally, he felt even more sorrowful.
…
That afternoon, Shao Boqi entered the palace. He brought the cloak that Shao Yucen had wrapped.
Upon seeing Xue Yan, Shao Boqi knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes. He begged for forgiveness. “Your Majesty, I have failed to educate my daughter properly. I have committed such a treasonous act.”
“Did you find out about something again?” Xue Yan hurriedly helped his uncle up and asked.
Shao Boqi nodded with tears in his eyes. “After breakfast today, Yucen asked me about your recent matters. I lied and said that you were going to the military camp outside the city the day after tomorrow and will only bring one or two people with you. I saw with my own eyes that she couldn’t hide the joy on her face. She might have plans to assassinate Your Majesty… I… I have not taught her well!” After saying that,he cried out and knelt on the ground again.
“What does it have to do with you?” Xue Yan hurriedly helped his uncle up. “Get up, quickly.” “The Shao family has been loyal for generations. Even if Yucen is an accomplice, the Shao family won’t be connected to her crimes.”
“Your Majesty…” Shao Boqi cried out loud. “I raised such a rebellious daughter. How can I face my ancestors in the future?”
Xue Yan consoled him a few more times before Shao Boqi used his sleeve to wipe the tears on both sides and continued to report, “I’ve already sent people to secretly keep an eye on that unfilial daughter. I have also instructed the servants to let that unfilial daughter go wherever she wants to go. Don’t bother about her. Presumably, before long, she will spread the news to Sun Ai. Following this string, we should be able to find Sun Ai’s hiding spot. If Sun Ai has other accomplices, we should be able to capture them as well.”
…
Shao Yucen was actually a very impatient person. Once she heard that Xue Yan would be going to the military camp the day after tomorrow, and that he would only bring one or two people with him, she immediately got to work. She felt that this was a great opportunity that she could not miss. Therefore, she secretly wanted to go to the river five miles outside the city and tell Sun Ai everything!
However, since her father was at home, she could not go out, so she could only stay at home.
Her father went out in the afternoon, but considering that her father might be back soon, she had no choice but to stay at home.
The next day, Shao Yucen saw her father leave early in the morning. Her father had to accompany the diplomatic team today, so he probably wouldn’t be home anytime soon. With that in mind, Shao Yucen took that chance to leave.
When she was two streets away, Shao Yucen told the maids to stop and not follow her.
Although Shao Boqi didn’t instruct the servant girls to do anything, they had always been afraid of Shao Yucen. When they heard Shao Yucen’s scolding, they were very worried that something would happen to her, but they still obediently stopped where they were and waited for her.
Then, Shao Yucen left to go to the river alone.
She had no idea that there was a group of people secretly following her.
The leader of this group of people asked someone to hurry to the courier station to report their findings.
Shao Zhongxi and Shao Boqi weren’t the only ones in the posthouse. Xue Yan was there as well. They were all sitting in the large study in front of the posthouse.
