The grass in the factory should be plucked

Chapter 385 Confession

Jiang Li received the information quickly.

She had a hunch that the letter was the key to uncovering the truth behind the Su family massacre!

"Brother Changan, we will go there in person tonight."

Xie Changan nodded: "Okay."

Jiang Li used the contract to get Fat Rat to come back from Princess Ruili and go to the imperial farm with her.

The fat rat is very proud, and his master can't do without him wherever he goes!

"Yes, yes, rats are the most useful!" Jiang Li said with a smile and told Qingfeng to take it with him.

The two men, accompanied by their guards, rode their horses to the outskirts of the capital and went to Yunxi Garden first.

After nightfall, the two men changed into night clothes and sneaked into the imperial manor.

At this time, the fat rat had met up with its little brothers and was hiding under Prince Rui's bed.

Jiang Li and the other person hid in the dark, communicating with the fat rat in the house.

"Rat, do you know where the box is hidden?"

"I know, I'll put it under his pillow tonight."

"Wait until he falls asleep, then steal the box out quietly."

"Don't worry, I put a sachet of soothing and hypnotic scent next to the pillow, and the man won't wake up!"

"Wow, Shushu, you are amazing. You even learned this..."

Xie Changan was able to hear the communication between Jiang Li and his spirit pet through the Heart Contract, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

This rat seemed to be getting smarter and smarter. He wouldn't find it strange even if it suddenly spoke human language!

Not long after, the fat rat was seen carrying a box in its mouth and rushing towards their hiding place.

Jiang Li took it and opened the box, only to see a yellowed piece of letter and a jade pendant inside.

She took out the letter and unfolded it in the dim light of the night pearl. The handwriting on the letter was blurred and covered with tear marks.

Alas, I don’t know whether they are the tears of the writer or the tears of the reader.

Jiang Li sighed secretly, and the two of them got together and read it carefully under the dim light of the night pearl.

"So that's it!" Xie Changan sighed softly.

Jiang Li said "Pooh!" "What a cruel trick! This Prince Rui is also a scumbag!"

She couldn't help but feel deeply sympathetic towards Su Mei. It was really a pity that she was so beautiful, but unfortunately she always met the wrong person!

Back then, Su Mei, who was only 28 years old, by chance met the second prince of the Jurchen Kingdom who was disguised as a chivalrous knight.

Although Su Mei was the daughter of a general, because she was so beautiful, General Su Chen treated her like the apple of his eye and kept her in seclusion, not allowing her to go out easily.

How can a girl of fifteen or sixteen not yearn for the outside world?

When the second prince was avoiding being hunted down by his enemies, he accidentally entered Su Mei's boudoir and fell in love with her at first sight.

Since then, he often sneaked into the Su Mansion and secretly took Su Mei out for fun.

Su Mei was still a young girl with little experience in the world at that time, so naturally she fell deeply in love with him.

The second prince also knew that General Su Chen would never marry his beloved daughter to a prince of an enemy country. Only when the Su family fell into decline and Su Mei was left with nowhere else to go would she throw herself into his arms.

Therefore, he secretly slipped several letters to the Su residence, written by himself. Between the lines, he expressed his admiration for General Su and regretted that the two sides were in opposition, otherwise they would have become close friends regardless of age difference.

Although this does not prove that General Su was "collaborating with foreign enemies", as a border guard against the Jurchens, he had a personal relationship with the second prince of the Jurchens, which would naturally make the emperor suspicious.

He never expected that before he took any action, Su Mei was noticed by the emperor and he ordered her to enter the palace.

Su Mei was naturally unwilling, but the Second Prince had already returned to Jurchen and could not be contacted at all.

How could she, a woman living in seclusion, disobey the emperor's order?

By the time the second prince rushed over after hearing the news, Su Mei had already become a favorite concubine in the palace.

The second prince was furious and took his anger out on the Su family, believing that they were the ones who forced Su Mei into the palace. In a rage, he had someone reveal the news that he often appeared at the Su family to another general, Zhang Zhao, who was guarding the border.

He is Empress Zhang's father and the Emperor's father-in-law. Naturally, he doesn't want to see Su Mei become the most favored in the harem and even endanger Empress Zhang's position!

Upon receiving the information that Su Chen was suspected of colluding with the Jurchens, Zhang Zhao could not wait to report the matter to the emperor.

The emperor then sent the Embroidered Uniform Guard to Datong to conduct a secret investigation.

The Embroidered Uniform Guards found letters from the Second Prince of the Jurchens in the Su Mansion, and also found out everything about the Second Prince's secret entry and exit from the Su Mansion.

It turns out that before entering the palace, Su Mei had secretly had an affair with the second prince of the Jurchens!

The emperor was furious.

Although Su Mei seemed unaware of the man's identity, he could not blame her for it, but he still felt uncomfortable.

Which emperor since ancient times was not suspicious?

Although there is no solid evidence that Su Chen is colluding with the Jurchens, how can we know whether he has any selfish motives?

It is even possible that Su Mei's secret relationship with the second prince of the Jurchens was tacitly approved by him!

If the second prince ascends the Jurchen throne and Su Mei marries him, wouldn't Su Chen be the father-in-law of the Jurchens?

The more the emperor thought about it, the more suspicious he felt, so he secretly gave Zhang Zhao an order, suggesting that it would be better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go!

Although Su Mei is pregnant, he doesn't want to let her go. Who knows if she is cheating on him?

Thus, all the loyal and brave members of General Su Chen's family died in such an unclear manner.

Even before he died he didn't know the reason!

Jiang Li threw the letter in her hand back into the box with disgust.

This letter was a confession written by the former Second Prince, now Prince Rui, to Su Mei after he was heartbroken upon learning of her death.

It is a letter that can never be sent.

Bah! What's with the words "it's too late to regret" and "every word is written with tears"? They are all full of false pretenses!

How can you love someone so much that you want to kill her entire family?

Xie Changan listened to Jiang Li's complaints and agreed with them deeply.

"Tell me, did Empress Su finally know that it was Prince Rui and the late emperor who killed her entire family?"

Jiang Li asked.

"After Empress Su escaped by pretending to be dead, she neither looked for the late emperor nor Prince Rui. Even if she didn't know the truth, she must have had doubts in her heart, so she followed the crazy Taoist priest without hesitation."

Xie Changan said slowly.

"Well, no matter what, Nan Yonghe has avenged her, and Madam Su can rest in peace."

Xie Changan glanced at her sideways: "Do you still feel sorry for him? Do you think he is pitiable?"

Jiang Li glared at him and said, "Why are you jealous again? Whether it's Nan Yonghe or Empress Su, they are both on the opposite side of us. Either you die or I live!"

"On the battlefield, would you show mercy to an enemy soldier if you felt that his crime did not deserve death?"

Xie Changan smiled and said, "My lady, you are right. I am grateful for your advice."

The fat rat rolled his eyes and said, "Master, stop flirting with each other. Are you going to put the box back or not? If you keep wasting time, the man will wake up!"

Jiang Li sneered: "Since he is unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust."

She stuffed the box into Xie Changan's hands and said, "Keep it! Let him worry for a few days."

Xie Changan still stuffed the box into his arms.

Jiang Li said to Fatty Mouse again: "Rat, it's time to pack up now."

"okay!"

When the fat rat heard that it was time to go home, he happily went to call his little brothers.

Xie Changan asked: "Do you want to use this letter to threaten him?"

Jiang Li said cunningly: "What letter? We haven't seen anything."

Xie Changan was stunned. Why was this happening?
