Although Mrs. Cai and Mrs. Gao were from the Wanyan family, they were born in Xijing.
The fathers of the two ladies are brothers themselves. They have a very close relationship with Prince Takikei and can be said to be his right-hand man. Their mother is the maid of Prince Takikei and is loyal to the prince.
Their parents infiltrated into Xijing according to the instructions of Prince Takikei. Their original purpose was to obtain accurate information about Xijing. What happened later was not what they had originally expected.
"The Prince is the biological uncle of His Highness the Grand Prince. Their relationship is the same as that of father and son, even closer than real father and son. This cannot be confirmed. We all heard it from our fathers and mothers. However, the Grand Prince During the time when His Highness was in Xijing, His Majesty the Prince sent frequent messages to Xijing, basically asking us to take care of His Highness the Prince and ensure his safety."
"Does the prince support the eldest prince to become the next golden king?"
"Back to the General, yes!" Mrs. Cai gave an affirmative answer, "The main task of our group of so-called spies is not to spy on the news, but to wait for the opportunity, and wait until His Highness the Prince is about to ascend the throne. Daxia gave him strong support."
"So, the prince has already seen Wanyan Zongcheng's ambition?"
"This" Mrs. Cai and Mrs. Gao looked at each other, "We don't know very well, but the Prince has always been a far-sighted person. We couldn't understand many of his actions at the time, but as time went by, the facts It will prove that he is right. When the eldest prince came to Xijing, we discovered that the other party had also sent people here early."
Shen Cha agreed with this point of view. She had already found this out when she was investigating Aunt Xue's unjust case. Wanyan Zongcheng's people came to Xijing almost at the same time as the parents of Mrs. Cai and Gao. Therefore, it can be believed that Wanyan Zongcheng had already arrived in Xijing. So he set his sights on the throne, and the so-called emotional entanglement was just a theory.
As for why these spies were able to gain a foothold in Xijing and develop so well, Shen Cha thought there was nothing that could be done about it. At that time, it should be the most chaotic period in the whole of Daxia and Xijing. There were constant wars at the border, and border residents poured into Xijing with their families and families every day. It was almost impossible to verify everyone's identity at that time.
Not only spies from the Jin Kingdom, but also Liao, Tubo, Duan and other countries took advantage of that time to send many spies in. Although a considerable number of spies were slowly eliminated, there were also a few who were very hidden. Okay, slowly established a foothold in Xijing, just like these two people in front of me.
Shen Cha looked at these two ladies. If it weren't for the totems on their foreheads, she wouldn't have recognized that they were not from Daxia. They were born and grew up here, and they have long been integrated with this place, and they have become one with the real people. People in Xijing are generally the same. However, the blood of the golden people still flows in their bones, and when the critical moment comes, they will still abandon the land that gave birth to them without hesitation.
"When did you know you were a golden person?"
"It was very early, when I was five or six years old!" the two ladies said at the same time, "but it was about twenty years ago that we actually served the prince."
"When the eldest prince was serving as a hostage in Xijing?"
"Yes, we will do our best to protect the safety of His Royal Highness. It was also at that time that we discovered that Wanyan Zongcheng's people were following us."
"You are willing to destroy your reputation just to cover up your identity?"
"Yes, the most effective way to protect your identity is to let everyone focus on you, so that people hiding in the dark will not dare to do evil things."
"Moreover, for us, reputation is not very important. Staying in the capital and fulfilling the prince's instructions is the most important thing." Mrs. Cai added, "But by doing this, we implicated innocent people. This is something we didn’t expect.”
"You mean the princess?" Shen Cha looked at the two ladies, "We have a good relationship??"
"Yes, we have a good relationship. She knew something about us destroying our reputation, but she didn't go into it. Not only did she not go into it, she also helped to cover it up. It was the princess's idea that we went to the palace to block the door, but the prince didn't know. Love. Therefore, it is reasonable for the prince and the crown prince to hate us, and we deserve it."
"You are underestimating the enemy. I didn't expect them to be bold enough to attack the princess."
"Yes, that time happened to be when His Highness the Prince and Mrs. Xue were in a stalemate. Our attention was on His Highness's side and we did not pay attention to the situation here, allowing them to take advantage of the situation. The matter has already happened, and we don't want to Explain, it is right for His Highness the Crown Prince to bear grudges against us, and we must atone for this." Madam Gao looked at the people in front of her, "Please don't tell His Highness the Crown Prince this. Only then will we feel better if he hates us. otherwise"
"I can promise you." Shen Cha nodded, "Tell me about Mrs. Xue, how much do you know?"
"We all know this part of Xijing." Mrs. Gao paused and continued, "Actually, His Royal Highness the Prince and Mrs. Xue are in love, but due to their identities, they are destined not to be together. The two of them knew this. Therefore, the separation was also expected by them. "
"When His Highness was in Xijing, we also went to see him. Not only did the Prince ask us to take good care of Mrs. Xue, but His Highness also asked us to take good care of Mrs. When Xijing returned to the Kingdom of Jin, the only requirement for us before leaving was to take good care of Mrs. Xue. It was okay in the first few years, but then Mrs. Xue went to the border with the Shen family army, and we were beyond our reach, and there was nothing we could do."
"The last message we received from the Prince asked us to stay in Xijing and keep an eye on Mrs. Xue's natal family."
"Keep an eye on Mrs. Xue's natal family?" Shen Cha and Shen Haolin exchanged a look, "What does this mean?"
"Her mother-in-law is not a good person. When the eldest prince left Xijing, her mother-in-law encouraged Mrs. Xue to follow the eldest prince." Mrs. Cai sneered, "A girl who doesn't even care about her own reputation Yes, what good thing could it be? Sure enough, they got in touch with the people over there, and they actually used the names of the eldest prince and the prince."
"You didn't fight?"
"It's useless. The force over there is stronger than ours and they can't be beaten." Mrs. Cai and Mrs. Gao smiled bitterly at the same time. "But I didn't expect that this was the beginning of framing Mrs. Xue. The so-called ironclad evidence is that between His Highness the Grand Prince and Mrs. Xue The letters between the two are all forged. Wanyan Zongcheng has a few people who are good at imitating other people's handwriting. Even he himself can't tell the difference between what they imitated. We will give you the list later and you can go investigate. They are still Living in Xijing. It’s just that it’s hidden quite secretly, and we can’t find anyone.”
"That's all?" Shen Cha raised an eyebrow, "Nothing else?"
"There is one more thing related to Yushitai." Mrs. Cai raised her head and looked directly at Shen Cha, "But"
"I understand. I will tell you the whole process of Prince Takikei's death, and I will also let you meet the people who experienced it."
"Who witnessed it?" The two ladies were surprised, "Who?"
"Keep it secret for now. You will know when you meet the person!"
