499 What’s Wrong?
Jiang Yue wasn’t surprised.
“He has a really prominent family background.”
“However,” Xue Yan continued, “The Crown Prince had disappeared a long time ago, and by the time he was found, he had already been cut into pieces. When the Second Prince ascended the throne, the Shao family refused to accept it, thinking that it was all the Second Prince’s mother, consort, and maternal grandfather’s family’s doing. They refused to submit and occupied the South, but they were unwilling to betray Da Ling and become the Emperor. In the end, six hundred thousand troops from other countries invaded from the South, but in order to protect Da Ling and the people, none of them survived.”
Why were they all so miserable?
“Is the Crown Prince dead?” Jiang Yue asked after a moment of silence.
“No, he will only be found next year.”
“Where?” Perhaps they could find a way to save the Crown Prince and change the situation of the Shao family, the southern army, and the entire southern region.
“I don’t know, I only heard about it later.”
Knowing that he had only heard about it in his previous life, Jiang Yue nodded. If they didn’t even know where the Crown Prince was, it would be difficult to change the fate of the Shao family, the southern army, and the southern region.
“So that means…” Jiang Yue concluded, “The Second Prince will be ascending the throne next year? And that the current Emperor will die next year?”
“Yeah.”
Jiang Yue continued, “I don’t think the Second Prince is a good person. Otherwise, how could the Shao family and the southern army all die? isn’t it obvious that he used someone else’s hand to get rid of the Shao family and the southern army at the cost of his sanity? If the current Emperor’s fate could be changed, then it wouldn’t necessarily be the Second Prince who would succeed the throne. Right, how old was the current Emperor? He wouldn’t be very old, right? Are there any other princes? Can you change the fate of the current Emperor?” Jiang Yue said.
Xue Yan was still immersed in her first sentence. Her lips quivered and he said in a low voice, “Yes, it’s to borrow the hands of others, at all costs… He wanted to get rid of…”
Jiang Yue was a smart person, so she immediately understood when she saw his expression. “What, you’ve suffered at his hands before?” If that was the case, she could not let the Second Prince become the Emperor.
“It’s not really a loss.” Xue Yan squeezed out a smile. “It’s just that I’ve also walked the same path as some people.”
After that, Xue Yan answered the last few questions, “The current Emperor is still very young. He’s only twenty-six, about the same age as Shao Shuting. Shao Shuting was once his study companion. Before he died in his previous life, there were only two princes. One was the Crown Prince who was cut into eight pieces, and the other was the Second Prince who later ascended the throne. He will fall into a coma on April fifteenth. He won’t wake up and will pass away in two months.”
“He suddenly fainted just like that?” Jiang Yue immediately understood. “So, you don’t know the true cause of the coma?”
“I don’t.” Xue Yan nodded.
“In my last life, I was still in Shengming Academy and not in the imperial capital. My classmates and friends who were officials in the imperial capital told me this.”
“Twenty-six is young.” Jiang Yue was surprised. “How old are the Crown Prince and the Second Prince?”
“The Second Prince will turn seven on the twenty-ninth of March this year. The Second Prince is one day younger than the Crown Prince, so the Crown Prince will turn seven on the twenty-eight of March.” The reason he knew the Second Prince’s birthday was because the Second Prince was Yi Xuanyuan. In his past life, every time Yi Xuanyuan celebrated his birthday, there would be a grand celebration. Naturally, he knew about it.
