The people sent by Shadow Fifteen to report the news to the Duke of Guo did not see Shen Haolin and Shen Cha at the Duke's Palace. After asking about it, they found out that they were at the Prince Dai's Palace.
After many days of searching, His Highness Prince Ning finally found the handwritten letter that Mrs. Lin and Shen Cha were invited over. This was the most favorable evidence that could explain everything to Xue Ruitian. This letter was much more useful than other people's painstaking explanations of a hundred, a thousand or ten thousand sentences.
This handwritten letter is indeed the handwriting of Mrs. Xue Hou. Regarding this, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha can confirm it. Even Prince Dai can guarantee it.
"Uncle Wang has seen Aunt Xue's handwriting before?" Shen Cha looked at Prince Dai curiously, "I don't remember any correspondence between you two. If there was, it was not Prince Ning who was used and spread rumors... ..." Seeing His Highness Prince Ning's gaze, she changed her words in time, "Uncle."
"Good!" His Highness Prince Ning expressed that he was very satisfied with Shen Cha's awareness of current affairs, "Because the eldest sister and I often correspond, and Brother Wang has seen some of them, so he is very familiar with the eldest sister's handwriting."
"So that's it."
"Actually, if we hadn't cared about it before, we would have been confused. We can also see the flaws in the stacks of forged letters that were previously sealed as evidence. When Aunt Xue was writing, she had a minor problem. Every time The last stroke of a character is always rolled back a bit out of habit." Shen Haolin pointed to the words on the envelope, "But if you don't look carefully, you will ignore it. This is something we didn't notice before. "
"Brother is right, it was because we were too anxious that we ignored this key issue." Shen Cha nodded and looked at Prince Dai, Wu Qingruo and His Highness Prince Ning, "After we thought of this, we paid attention to the previous pile of The forged letters were re-researched. Some of the letters were missing from the beginning to the end, and some were missing only a few words. I don’t know if the craftsman who forged the letters had this habit himself, or if he compared it with Aunt Xue’s handwriting. They all follow the same pattern, and there are even postscripts. If we had noticed this detail at that time, maybe we wouldn’t have spent so long identifying the authenticity of the letters.”
"As the saying goes, caring leads to chaos. Because it involves our closest relatives, this kind of uncool and chaotic situation occurs. I just have a question, I want to ask Uncle Ning." Shen Hao Lin looked at His Highness Prince Ning, "When these forged letters were placed in front of the late Emperor and you, did you confirm that they were forgeries? Did you already see the loophole?"
"Of course not. Those forged letters were partly written by us. The few words you see are the same as those written by the eldest sister. They were written by her herself. The part that was traced later..." His Highness Prince Ning pointed at himself and said with a smile, "I did it."
"Is this a loophole specially left for us?"
"Xiao Cha is still smart!" His Highness Prince Ning smiled particularly kindly at Shen Cha. "It's a pity that you didn't pay attention. I still have to guide you step by step to let you discover the secret inside."
"This is really our fault, it's our omission." Shen Cha sighed softly, watching Shen Haolin open the handwritten letter, and was slightly startled when he saw the title on his head, "This letter... …Isn’t it left to Uncle Ning Wang?”
"We have anticipated today's situation before. The eldest sister knows you and her own son better than me and the imperial brother. She knows that you will not give up on pursuing the so-called truth, so she left such a A letter." His Royal Highness Prince Ning chuckled, shrank into the imperial concubine's couch, and yawned, "I have already read the contents of this handwritten letter. Many of the contents..." He shrugged, "I have read it. It’s not particularly clear.”
Shen Cha glanced at His Highness Prince Ning, then lowered his head to read the letter.
This letter was written to Song Jue, Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, and Xue Ruitian. The content in it was basically the same as what they had speculated before. In order to kill the old Jin Wang and the eldest prince, Wan Yanping sent someone to concoct the letter. The so-called unjust case of the eldest prince colluding with Daxia and Mrs. Xuehou colluding with the Kingdom of Jin, a double collaboration with the enemy and treason, the entire evidence and clues were prepared perfectly and impeccably.
At that time, the late emperor and His Highness Prince Ning had been targeted by the Tantai family and the Heijia camp. Many actions to retaliate against the Song family and the Daxia royal family had been launched, and this unjust case concocted by Wan Yanping was one of them. link.
"You were already aware of the person behind Wanyan Ping at that time?" Shen Cha raised his eyebrows slightly, "You are so perceptive!"
"We just have this suspicion, but we haven't confirmed it yet. At that time, our understanding of Wanyanping, the Tantai family and the Heijia Camp was not very complete. Jumping to conclusions will only cause trouble for ourselves. But after so much Over the years, the evidence has been placed in front of us and can be confirmed." His Highness Prince Ning glanced at the letter in Shen Haolin's hand, "There is one more thing that I must admit."
"What is it?"
"The general environment at that time, our confrontation with Jin, Liao, and even the Japanese pirates over there, gave us no confidence to continue the investigation." His Highness Prince Ning spread his hands, "What was your Jiaping Pass like back then? It is still very clear that if you are a little negligent, you will be completely defeated. In the south, although you can win seven or eight times out of ten against the Japanese pirates, it is also very difficult to win. In addition, there are other small countries and small tribes who have been eyeing them. , just harassing us from time to time, and we really don’t have much energy to establish or fight against a new opponent.”
"That's what happened!" Shen Cha nodded, "It will be even more troublesome when I can't take care of anyone else. It's just..." She sighed softly, "I feel wronged by Aunt Xue and let her be blamed like this. for many years."
"As I said before, the truth will not be revealed until the Tantai family and Heijiaying are completely eradicated. Otherwise..." His Highness Prince Ning shook his head gently, "What will happen once someone escapes? We can't predict it." He looked at the letter, then at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "It's just that I didn't expect that the eldest sister had made a condition with the emperor, asking him to withstand all pressure, no matter what anyone said Nothing was allowed to implicate the Wuding Hou Mansion. This matter itself had no direct relationship with the Wuding Hou Mansion. The emperor's verbal promise could not give her peace of mind, so she forced the emperor brother to write a secret decree and gave it to the Marquis for safekeeping. The imperial brother broke his oath and failed to withstand the pressure of the officials, so he took out this secret decree. Fortunately, the officials did not pursue and intercept him, so the secret decree lost its due effect. "
Shen Haolin and Shen Cha looked at each other. Both of their expressions were not very good-looking. How did Aunt Xue feel about getting this secret order and what kind of mood did she feel when she went to die? Can't feel it at all. Their current wish is to completely destroy the Tantai family in their own lifetime to comfort Aunt Xue and the souls of those who died innocently because of this crazy and inhumane family.
It was at this time that the people sent by Ying Fifteen to report the news appeared. They heard that there was something going on at the Tantai Family Temple, and several people were very excited. Shen Haolin, and Shen Cha were eager to try it out, and wanted to go with them. His Highness Prince Ning came here with Mei Lin, Mei Zhu and the three princes, and hurried out of the city towards the Tantai Family Temple.
