Perhaps, Riyao's interest in Wei Ancheng had more to do with the man's inherent danger.
But if Wei Ancheng really was a descendant of the former Shengkang King, then that would explain a lot.
For example, after the Jinzhou Ye Clan suffered a huge loss in the Southern Wilderness, losing someone as important as Ye Lingxi, their reaction was surprisingly mild.
Going by this, the Jinzhou Ye Clan probably already knew the truth—Wei Ancheng was the thorn they had left for the Tang Imperial Court.
In fact, the party leaking this news now just might be the Jinzhou Ye Clan themselves.
Of course, they wouldn't just let the deaths of Ye Lingxi and the grave injuries to Ye Han slide.
But with the Tang Imperial Court taking the lead, it was obvious the Jinzhou Ye Clan would save a lot of effort; hanging back and stirring things up from the sidelines was enough.
