“Moreover, Shao Shuting had been recuperating there for so long. Even if he suspected right, he would have come back a long time ago. Shao Shuting must have found more about this kid and realized that he was wrong. He happened to be injured and was saved by the family. After confirming that the child was not his nephew, he must have just chosen to stay there for a while longer to help around.”
“That’s reasonable.” Consort Yi nodded. “But Father, regardless of whether they are or not, should we kill them all? Just in case?”
“What’s the point?” Marquis Ji shook his head helplessly.
“Didn’t I tell you a long time ago? If we killed every suspicious boy who was brought home seven years ago, not only would we not be able to kill them all, but we would also easily expose ourselves.
“Think about it, the Shao family is looking for the Crown Prince, and the Emperor naturally wants to find the Crown Prince. If we really kill all these children, then everyone will know that someone is killing these children to prevent the Emperor and the Shao family from finding the Crown Prince. Then, who do you think will be the first suspect?
“Although the Empress is certain that we did it, she doesn’t have any evidence.
We can’t seek our own deaths and reveal our flaws to give others evidence.
“If you kill someone once, you can clean up the mess and leave no traces. How many murders can you commit before getting caught?”
As long as there were any clues left, the Shao family would come after them like a mad dog. The Ji family would be destroyed sooner or later because of these clues if they decided to do this. Therefore, people couldn’t be killed randomly.
“That’s right, you can’t let your emotions affect your decisions.” Ji Qiwei also advised. “We’ve already confirmed that it’s not Emperor Shu, it’s useless to kill him. We shouldn’t provide more weaknesses to them.”
Consort Yi rubbed her temples. “Since you both have said so, I’ll follow whatever you both want. I’ve just been feeling uneasy these days.”
“Why so?” Ji Qiwei asked.
“It’s about the Empress. She is still refusing to see the Emperor no matter what. At the end of last month, she pretended to faint and forced the Emperor to spend the night there. I’m worried that another son will appear. If that’s the case, our plan will be in vain.”
Marquis Ji and Ji Qiwei’s faces were also heavy.
However, Marquis Ji said, “I heard that she really did faint. She must have been triggered by something.”
“It doesn’t matter if it was real or fake. The Emperor has already spent the night there. He didn’t even attend the morning court session the next day.” “I see…” Marquis Ji’s expression became even more serious.
Ji Qiwei asked, “Can’t you do something to the Empress? Give her something so that she can never get pregnant again.”
“The Empress’s Palace is filled with people. Does it look like we can sneak our people in? Everyone there is loyal to her.”
Marquis Ji spoke, “It’s also because you hurt your body that all the physicians said you can’t get pregnant anymore. Otherwise, we could’ve set up a trap for the Emperor to pamper you again.”
It would have been better if she didn’t say this, but once she said this, Consort Yi’s eyes were full of hatred.
That year, on the day of her grandfather’s birthday banquet, the Emperor came to her house. Her family members set a trap and made the Emperor drunk. Because of this, the Emperor stayed at her house..
