"Empress, this is..."

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha looked at a red envelope and a white envelope placed in front of them, looked at the Queen Mother in confusion, and then at Song Jue, Song Qiyun, and Song Jinyu sitting next to them.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the palace, they were led to the palace of the Queen Mother by Eunuch Cui who was waiting at the door. Just as Song Jue said before, the Queen Mother had something important to tell them. After they bowed, the Queen Mother The empress took out these two letters.

Judging from the reactions of Song Jue's three brothers and sisters, they have read the contents of these two letters before and know what will happen next. But these three people don't know if they have been instructed by the Queen Mother, and there is no hint at all. give them.

"You don't have to look at them, just read these two letters first." The Queen Mother smiled at the two of them, "You will understand after reading them."

"yes!"

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha looked at each other, picked up the red envelope on the left, pulled out the letter paper, opened it, and only read the beginning, with shock on their faces.

"this……"

Looking at Shen Cha next to him, he had basically the same reaction as him, with disbelief written all over his face.

"Continue, continue." The Queen Mother smiled and waved her hand, asking them to continue reading. "After you two read yours, you can exchange them, look at each other's, and then find out the difference between the two letters."

The two people exchanged a look, then lowered their heads to read the letter in their hands, reading it very carefully for fear of missing any clues. After reading it, just as the Queen Mother said, the two people exchanged hands. I read the other party’s letter carefully.

Although the contents of the two letters were completely different, they also knew that what the Queen Mother wanted them to read was not the contents of the letters.

They put the two letters side by side and compared them very carefully for nearly half a stick of incense. They didn't see any problems. There really was no flaw at all.

"How?" The Queen Mother saw them folding the letter intact and putting it back into the envelope, and said with a smile, "What's the gain?"

"As far as I'm concerned, no." Shen Cha put the two letters back in front of the Queen Mother, "Judging from the content, the letter in my brother's hand should be a secret file kept by the Ministry of Punishment, which is the so-called ironclad evidence of Aunt Xue's conviction. According to the information we have, this letter was forged by a craftsman. The letter I got is a letter written by Aunt Xue to the Queen Mother. If it is correct, it should be her own handwriting."

"That's half right." Song Jue poured a cup of tea for Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "Both of these letters are forgeries. The one you saw was specially used to frame the queen mother. It was only posted halfway. Something went wrong and the letter was never produced. This time, we found these among the pile of physical evidence."

"Frame the Queen Mother?" Shen Haolin was stunned and looked at Song Jue, "What's the point of framing the Queen Mother... No, this is definitely not their plan!" He shook his head gently and smiled bitterly, "In this case, we Looking in the wrong direction, it’s not that simple.”

"Oh? Tell me, let's see if you think the same as me."

"Aunt Xue... she should have blocked the disaster for you." Shen Haolin looked at Song Jue seriously, "Their target is you."

"It seems that I am not the only one who thinks so." Song Jue sighed and lazily leaned against Shen Haolin, "They had a big plot back then. Once the mother was convicted, as a son, I could keep the prince. I'm lucky to have the title, but don't count on the throne. Their target is not just me, but Qiyun and Xiaojiu are also their targets."

"That's right. What they want is for everyone in the Queen Mother's lineage to be out of power. It can be said to be a two-pronged approach. If Aunt Xue and the Wuding Marquis Mansion are eliminated, the prestige of the Shen family army will be cut in half, no matter how many victories they win. , the first thing people thought of was the so-called collaborator of the old Mrs. Wu Dinghou. Facts have proved that this move was right. In the past few years, Brother Xiaotian has been carrying such a heavy burden and bearing such infamy. And targeting the Queen Mother The empress wants to ensure that brother Xiaojue, Qiyun, and Xiaojiu have no chance of getting involved in the throne. I don’t know how serious the differences they had on this plan, or the great difficulties they encountered, which led to them having to temporarily withdraw from the throne. The hand ends at Aunt Xue's place." Shen Cha held the teacup, looked at the Queen Mother, and then at Song Jue, "Looking at it this way, the Queen Mother's natal family is just the smallest link, the least important chess piece. The person, or the person who cooperated with Wan Yanping, was actually another person, a person who had great ideas about the throne."

"It's not that I haven't thought about having a mole, but..." Song Jue touched his chin, "If he really exists, then this person has been hiding it so well. After so many years, we haven't seen it at all. A little bit of awareness. If we hadn't been determined to find out the truth about my aunt's case, I'm afraid we wouldn't have discovered this."

"If this is the case, our previous reasoning will be overturned." Shen Cha knocked on the table lightly, "What we thought before was to use Aunt Xue to frame the Wuding Hou Mansion and frame the Shen family army. But now it is different. Their goal is If it is Your Majesty, the nature of the whole case will be completely different."

"Cha'er is right, their original plan should be much bigger than the current one." Shen Haolin sighed, "If I guessed correctly, they should have forged Aunt Xue's secret letter first. The Queen Mother, and then they forged the so-called ironclad letter. They only needed to mention something about the Kingdom of Jin in the forged letter to the Queen Mother, to show that she was in contact with the Kingdom of Jin and the eldest prince."

"But..." Song Jinyu frowned, "Doesn't such a serious matter require careful verification? The Ministry of Justice concluded that there is a connection based on just a few words in a letter. They handle the case so hastily? Are they not afraid of being derelict in their duties or being blamed? Charge of dereliction of duty?”

"Aunt Xue is at the border and the eldest prince is in Yiqing Mansion. How to obtain evidence? They calculated this accurately and arranged this step. If evidence can be obtained, this lie will be easily exposed." Shen Cha sneered. "But the letter was not sent out. Instead, it was a forged letter between Aunt Xue and the eldest prince. The reason behind this can be explored."

"Our biggest doubt about this case at the beginning was that there was no confession from our aunt, and we were convicted based only on an unclear letter. Moreover, my father clearly knew that my aunt was wrongly accused, but for some unknown reason, he still agreed to the Ministry of Punishment The crime set against Dali Temple. I really don’t understand why. If you have any difficulties, you can tell them and we can solve them together, right?" Song Jue rubbed his forehead and looked at the Queen Mother. Madam, "I remember, did my father send several letters to my uncle?"

"Secret edicts, the kind that will burn immediately after being read." The Empress Dowager also sighed, "I have made inquiring around, but your father refused to reveal any details or secrets about this case, not even a word.

He also advised me not to get involved in this matter. He once said that if the children want to overturn the verdict in the future, the truth will come out one day. At that time, the children will understand why he did what he did. He said

When I said this, I looked very bitter and sad."

"This is..." Several children present looked at each other, "What do you mean? So, is this case deliberately left to us?"

"Probably!" The Queen Mother looked a little tired, "Okay, I have told you everything I know, and you will be responsible for the rest. Can you solve this mystery? Can you help your aunts and uncles?

It depends on your ability to reverse the case." She waved her hand gently, "You all can go, I'm a little tired and need to rest!"

Several children stood up, saluted the Queen Mother, and quietly left the palace.
