Chapter 1221: The Most Innocent
After a while, Xue Yan finally spoke, “When those two masked men rescued Prince Yi from Prince Ying’s residence, they were very skilled. No one was a match for them at that time. They only injured the people there and did not kill anyone. They are different from Prince Yi. They are not ruthless people who resort to unscrupulous means. Whether their target is me or not, I feel much more at ease knowing that others are safe.”
Jiang Yue also thought so. She felt that the two mysterious people would not resort to unscrupulous means. She said, “Think about it again. In your previous life, were there two people who only wanted you dead but did not kill the innocent?”
Xue Yan slightly shook his head. No matter how many times he thought about it, there were no such two people in his memory.
“Then makes it even stranger…” Jiang Yue frowned. At that time, those two mysterious people didn’t kill a single person. Clearly, they didn’t indiscriminately kill innocent people, but wanted to kill Xue Yan… Does that mean Xue Yan was not innocent?
Xue Yan was clearly more innocent than anyone else…
He wasn’t doing anything wrong, but people kept trying to kill him…
Xue Yan just sighed. “It’s better not to think about it. Let’s just pretend that everything was caused by those two mysterious masked people. We don’t know who else is around. Didn’t you say that if the target is me, then there will be another move sooner or later? Since we can’t figure it out, let’s just wait for them to make one.”
Jiang Yue was indeed clueless. After all, what they knew was limited. There were many things that she could not deduce. She nodded. “Yes.”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had made their agreement. On the other side, Duan Huai started writing a memorial to report on him and his stepmother, as well as the incident of accidentally killing his father, as well as the matter of his covering up for Prince Yi, to the Emperor. Once he was done, he sent someone to send the memorial to Emperor Hao.
As soon as the memorial was sent out, Duan Huai felt much more relaxed.
All these years, these things were the things that made him unable to breathe.
Before noon, Prince Yi’s two men of sacrifice heard about Prince Yi’s death. They didn’t care whether Duan Huai was the culprit or not. They wanted Duan Huai to be their scapegoat. Then, not only did they spread the news themselves, but they also spent a lot of money to let others spread it all over the streets and alleys. Soon, before the sky turned dark, everyone in Changyu knew that Duan Huai had an affair with his stepmother. He even killed his father.
When the Northern Battlefront Army heard this, their expressions changed.
How could they stop this fire? Sooner or later, the news would spread throughout Da Ling.
The two men of sacrifice did not need to be arrested. Seeing that Duan Huai’s reputation had been ruined, they thought that their master’s corpse was still in Duan Huai’s manor, so they came to Duan Huai’s door and took poison. They sacrificed themselves to their master.
When it was time, the Cloud Guard came to report that the coroners had carefully examined Prince Yi’s body. They also found it strange that there was no cause of death. Logically speaking, a person should still be alive and well if there were no injuries. Even if he was dead, there should be scar marks. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had expected it, but they were not surprised.
The next day, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan left behind a few secret guards to continue dealing with the aftermath. They rode back with Xue Sihu.
Doctor Shen did not know how to ride a horse, so he sat in a carriage and was escorted by a team of Cloud Guards.
The carriage would be much slower. They were afraid that if they were out for too long, their family would be worried. Jiang Yue and the others did not go with Doctor Shen and went back first. At the same time, they could tell Shen Yuxuan and Madam Shen that Doctor Shen was on his way back and was safe.
