Xie Jue glanced at the eldest prince opposite. He was the eldest son of King Sangnan. He was twenty-two in his thirties. His eyebrows were not similar to that of King Sangnan, nor did he look like a Sangnan person. He was tall, strong, and had deep eyebrows. Like a man from the North. Xie Jue has read Ying Yi's report. The biological mother of King Sang Nan's eldest son is from Ningzhou. His situation in Sang Nan is similar to Xie Jue's childhood in Kyoto, and he also grew up facing discrimination. His biological mother died early, and she recognized King Sangnan's beloved concubine as her mother. The concubine had no sons, so she regarded him as her own, and even supported the eldest prince with the power of his mother's family.

He, the third prince and Han Ziqi are the most powerful contenders for the heir to King Sangnan. Although Han Ziqi is crowned the crown prince and favored by his father, his status is not particularly stable. The eldest prince and the third prince are also very powerful in Sangnan. The Priesthood supports the third prince. They feel that the third prince is stable and good-natured. He is not as militaristic as the eldest prince, nor as romantic and suspicious as Han Ziqi. The third prince is more like a king.

This time, Han Ziqi insisted that the eldest prince sent someone to do it, and there was no proof. Xie Jue thought that King Sang Nan had not found any evidence, so the matter was just a mystery. No one could explain it clearly. The funniest thing is that Sang Nan King Nan actually sent the third prince to investigate, which is ridiculous.

"Killing with poison is extremely dangerous. I think there are people who don't want me to come to Peony City and want to sabotage the peace talks between the two countries. Their intentions are very cruel." "Although I hope that Sang Nan can hunt down the real culprit, I hope that our peace talks can move forward. There is no need to stop at finding the culprit and put the cart before the horse."

The eldest prince snorted coldly, "Your Highness King Yan, everyone said that I sent people to poison you. My father also sent people to investigate. People in my palace and close associates asked several times. Someone was tortured. What happened? You Don’t you doubt it’s me?”

"I only believe in evidence. Without evidence, anyone can be the murderer." Xie Jue looked at the eldest prince, "You know whether the eldest prince is the murderer or not."

"I don't want Sang Nan to surrender, and I don't want you to come to Peony City, but I do things honestly, and I recognize what I did. If it wasn't mine, don't blame me!" The eldest prince glared at Han Ziqi fiercely. , the two brothers were obviously at odds.

Xie Jue secretly thought that not only was there a disagreement, King Sangnan would also start a quarrel in the presence of the king, without any sense of restraint. It was no wonder that the royal family of Sangnan was in such a commotion.

If the face is not harmonious, the heart is not harmonious.

Han Ziqi didn't pick up the fight, just drank, and let others look at him. King Sangnan stepped in to smooth things over, "Boss, this is enough. If King Yan doesn't pursue it, that's his magnanimity."

"I hope King Yan will pursue this matter. If this matter is not investigated clearly, it will really fall on me."

Fang Chuning leaned back lazily, minding his own drinking, and letting them quarrel as they pleased. It was really interesting. It was also interesting that they could quarrel while helping the delegation to clean up their dust.

"That's enough!" King Sangnan said in a stern tone, "When we receive envoys tonight, please don't make a fool of yourself."

The eldest prince reluctantly shut up. After he stopped dwelling on the matter, he brought up something else, "King Yan, it is said that you are the son of the eldest princess. Do you have any evidence?"

Xie Jue looked over expressionlessly, and Fang Chuning put down his wine glass calmly, "Our Royal Highness, King Yan, is the only prince in Beining. He has never admitted that he is a bloodline of the Sangnan royal family. It was your royal family who spread the news about his life experience." General, I also want to ask, do you have any evidence about the rumors?"

The eldest prince was confused, "Why did it come from our royal family? Didn't the rumors spread in Beijing and Beijing first?"

"Then I have to ask the prince why he spreads such rumors and creates a gap between our highness and the emperor's brother." Fang Chuning asked slowly, "King Yan's mission to Sang Nan this time is to prove to our emperor that His integrity is not afraid of shadows, and he can withstand the test. When the prince spread rumors in Kyoto, the evidence was conclusive and irrefutable." Han Ziqi and King Sangnan looked at each other, and faced the eldest prince who was angry and wanted an explanation. He looked at her and said unhurriedly, "As early as when the eldest princess lived in Sangnan and entered the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, the people we sent to Beining to find the eldest princess had found her. We also invited the eldest princess to return to Sangnan and inherit the throne. The throne, but Her Royal Highness the Princess had given birth to King Yan at that time and did not want to return to Sangnan, so the matter was dropped. Her father also made an agreement with the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and the identities of the eldest princess and King Yan became a secret from then on. However, the current situation changed later. The Yuwen Dynasty and the Yan King brothers split, and my father and I wanted to support their brothers in winning the kingdom, so we mentioned his identity."

"After all, there is no evidence, right?" Fang Chuning raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "The Marquis and his wife have passed away, so you can naturally make up stories as you like."

King Sangnan was displeased, "General Fang, this is a family matter between us and King Yan."

"His Royal Highness King Yan is the Prince of Beining. The prince's family affairs are state affairs. Of course, in a small place like Sangnan, there are not so many rules. I can understand that!"

Everyone, "..."

These words were simply humiliating to all the Sangnan people present. The eldest prince could not bear it anymore and shouted, "Fang Chuning, don't be too arrogant!"

"I'm just arrogant, what's wrong? I'm not a defeated country, and I'm not begging you to come to peace talks!" Fang Chuning was drunk, her cheeks were rosy, and her already evil face was like flying flowers, which was particularly irritating. Others looked like they had drunk too much and were talking nonsense. Xie Jue also knew how good a drinker he was, and even though he was drunk, he didn't get drunk.

The eldest prince was so choked that he couldn't say a word.

Xie Jue also defended Fang Chuning, "General Fang is right. I am Prince Beining. The prince's family affairs are state affairs. I hope that King Sangnan will not be confused."

King Sangnan also realized that they were difficult to deal with. He sighed and said, "In this case, I can only bring out the past letters with the Marquis. Both the Marquis and I were afraid that there would be such disputes in the future, so we had a The exchange of letters has confirmed the identity of King Yan. Although the Marquis has been dead for many years, you should recognize his handwriting, right?"

Xie Jue froze. Letter!

Father's letter!

This sentence was like a knife, piercing the tip of his heart. He was afraid of seeing things and missing others, and was also afraid of arousing his own sadness. His family's relics were sealed in a secret room, and he did not dare to look at them. He had been there for a long, long time. I have never seen my father's handwriting.

Fang Chuning did not dare to make the decision for him. King Sangnan sent a letter and placed it in front of Xie Jue, "This is the letter that the Marquis wrote to me back then. There is also a letter from the eldest princess and the eldest daughter's letter in it." The princess’s private seal.”

Xie Jue stared at the letter that was obviously old, and his mind was surging.

Father, why did you leave such a letter back then?

What did you write in the letter?
