He said in a deep voice: "In front of me, no one can play tricks. ”

This sentence can be described as killing two birds with one stone, one is to explain to the third prince that because the old emperor is present, the information he provides will not be arbitrarily modified by Su Wan's skillful use; Instead, he was implicitly beating the third prince and telling him not to lie about any ghost ideas.

The third prince hesitated for a moment, and finally said slowly: "This letter was found not far from the fire site. ”

"Not far away? It's not an exact place name. Su Wan pressed step by step, raised his eyebrows and said, "Dare to ask which palace is it in front of?" Or is it on that road? What are the special markings? ”

This continuous questioning made the third prince unable to resist at all, and sweat oozed from his head. Where can he tell the specific location, this is what he got after a long time with Su Jin!

Looking at the three princes who couldn't speak for a long time, Su Wan's smile was even more intriguing, and said, "Third prince, what's wrong with you?" Just to tell you the exact location, why are you so bothered? ”

The old emperor saw that there was indeed an ulterior motive in this, and the anger on his face became even more obvious.

"It's not that I don't want to be precise." The third prince saw the slight change in the old emperor's expression, and hurriedly said as if flattering: "It's really because the fire situation that day was so chaotic that I can't remember where it is for a while." ”

"Okay, let's not talk about it for the time being, how did such an inconspicuous letter happen to be picked up by the flustered third prince in the chaotic and dark night."

Su Wan nodded slightly, and while still planting a mine for the third prince in his words, he continued: "Then may I ask, why didn't you report to your father as soon as you picked up the letter, but waited until two days later when you went to the court?" ”

The third prince forcibly stabilized his mind, pretending to have a clear conscience and said: "That night was too chaotic, I just picked up the letter, but I didn't have time to open it and read it. ”

"Oh? Is it that I can't read? Su Wan smiled mockingly, then walked to the side of Master Chai of the Zongren Mansion, and said, "Lord Chai, please open the wooden box and see if the envelope of the secret letter has the four big characters 'Fu Lao Qin Kai' written on it?" ”

Lord Chai obediently complied, showed the intact letter, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"This letter is obviously for General Fu, may I ask if you don't hand it over to the old man in person, why do you have to open it privately?" Su Wan smiled, squinted at the third prince and said, "Third prince, your habit is not good." ”

Su Wan's words directly characterized the three princes as villains who privately opened other people's letters. The third prince couldn't help but be even more embarrassed, but not to be outdone, he replied: "I only found the words on the envelope later, but when I got it, the envelope had already been opened!" ”

The third prince thought very simply, as long as he said that the envelope had been opened, then it was even more logical to take out the letter and check it himself, he didn't expect that this was another trap that Su Wan laid for him.

"Oh? According to you, this is a letter that has been opened from the beginning? Su Wan almost laughed evilly, she was secretly proud in her heart that this idiot had really taken the bait.

"Yes!" Although looking at Su Wan's smile made the third prince's heart a little hairy, but it had reached this point, and he could only follow his lies and go to the dark.

"If that's the case, then I'm really puzzled, where did the orchid powder in the letter come from." Su Wan pretended to be sorry and walked to Lord Chai's side and said to the old emperor: "Father, during Lord Chai's inspection, I found that the letter was stained with the incense powder that women are used to. ”

The third prince was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "Incense powder? He naturally thought that this was the incense powder stained from Su Jin's body, after all, she had stored it close to her for so long, but it was impossible for him to tell the truth.

"I know, maybe it was infected from the concubine of King Chen!" After thinking for a long time, the third prince finally brightened his eyes and said: "At that time, didn't King Chen's concubine also enter the ancestral hall of the temple to pray for blessings?" It is very likely that she was contaminated when she added fragrance to King Chen's red sleeves. ”

When he said this, the third prince deliberately squinted at Su Wan, and stimulated her and said, "Why, Princess Chen is so smart, but she doesn't remember how her sister served her husband?" ”

Su Wan was not provoked by the words of the third prince at all, but retorted unceremoniously: "You are wrong, Fu Yanran has never used only one kind of incense powder, that is orchid incense powder!" And the inside page of this letter is stained with osmanthus powder! ”

The third prince was a little surprised, he looked at Su Wan's imposing appearance, racked his brains and replied: "Women don't use only one kind of incense powder, she may ...... that day."

"I can't say about other women, but Fu Yanran will definitely only use orchid powder." Su Wan smiled coldly, unceremoniously interrupted the third prince's quibble, and said, "Because, she is allergic to all pollen except orchids!" ”

has lived in the same house for so long, due to occupational diseases, Su Wan has long been familiar with Fu Yanran's physical condition and various taboos, but she never thought that this would become a weapon for her to rescue Xiao Mochen!

"According to the rules of the ancestors, women can only pray and chant in other ancestral halls, and must not approach the Dahua Treasure Hall." Su Wan took advantage of the victory to pursue and continued: "Then may I ask, who is this woman who is accustomed to osmanthus powder?" ”

The third prince was forced by Su Wan to retreat, so he could only awkwardly avoid her burning gaze, and replied hesitantly: "This is ...... I don't know? Why is this a question I should answer? Shouldn't you ask King Chen? ”

The old emperor's expression instantly became a little subtle, osmanthus-flavored incense powder? He seemed to be familiar with the scent, but where had he ever encountered it?

"How would King Chen know?" Su Wan looked at the third prince with a smile, turned his face to the old emperor and said, "In fact, King Chen has already handed over the correct secret letter to General Fu by hand, and what is lying in the wooden box now is just a discarded letter that has been fabricated!" ”

After Su Wan finished speaking, the old emperor and the third prince changed their faces at the same time. This woman's courage and courage are really extraordinary, and she can overturn all the current conclusions with her mouth?

"You're talking nonsense!" The third prince was extremely unconvinced, his eyes flashed fiercely, and he said sharply: "King Chen has already confessed his guilt in the court, and so many courtiers present can testify, and it is not my empty nonsense." ”

As if expecting the third prince to refute like this, Su Wan walked unhurriedly to Lord Chai's side, and said slowly: "Lord Chai, please open the next layer of the wooden box and take out the real secret letter." ”

Lord Chai bowed slightly, activated the mechanism of the wooden box, and revealed the lower layer, where there was an identical secret letter! It is also written "Fu Lao Qinqi"!

The old emperor was taken aback, and immediately said, "Present this secret letter to me!" ”

"Yes!" Lord Chai didn't dare to delay, and quickly handed over the secret letter to the old emperor for review.

After receiving the secret letter, the old emperor carefully checked every word on it, the expression on his face changed from initial shock to sudden enlightenment, and said slowly: "This is ......"

"That's right, I think you've seen it, Father, and this is the final correct secret letter." Su Wan smiled slightly, glanced at the pale third prince, and said: "Erchen carefully compared the contents of the two secret letters, which are true and false, and found that there are many differences between the two in terms of key time arrangements, and it can basically be judged that the one submitted by the third prince is fake. ”

The old emperor bowed slightly, a look of approval flashed in his eyes, and he asked deliberately: "Have you confirmed with the guards on duty that day whether the reality of duty is the same as that on this secret letter?" ”

Su Wan glanced at Lord Chai, Lord Chai's mind was clear, and he immediately nodded and said, "The humble position has been verified, and the duty situation that day is indeed consistent with this real secret letter." ”

"Father, from this, we can know that the fake secret letter must have been fabricated by a treacherous villain, and then deliberately thrown in a crowded place to deliberately frame King Chen." Su Wan deliberately looked at the third prince and said, "Third prince, you are kind-hearted, don't fall into the trap of thieves." ”

The third prince's shoulders trembled, and he still said unwillingly: "Then in the early court today, why didn't King Chen declare that the secret letter was fake, but admitted that he lost it?" ”

Su Wan sighed and pretended to be sad and said: "Because King Chen thought that General Fu had not handled the secret letter properly, and his old man was now sick in bed, King Chen couldn't bear to bother him, so he voluntarily took all the blame. ”

"Ridiculous ......" The third prince opened his mouth and wanted to say ridiculous, but he only heard the old emperor agree with him on the side: "So that's the case...... I think so, too. ”

"Princess Chen, these are just your own guesses, and many places are untenable." The third prince's face was gloomy, and he still stubbornly resisted and said: "Then you should tell me, what kind of thief would have such a ability to reach the sky, not only be able to imitate King Chen's handwriting, but also know the approximate schedule?" ”

Su Wan had been waiting for the third prince to ask such a question, and immediately replied: "Actually, in our Chenwang Mansion's recent self-inspection, we found that the maid Yingge's behavior is quite suspicious. ”

As he spoke, Su Wan's eyes drifted to the old emperor as if he were nothing, and said: "Deputy Gu Zeyang has found out that this Yingge is a fake, her real name is Caifeng, and she is actually a spy sent by Xuanwen Pavilion, and her brother Feiyi has been corrected by the Zongren Mansion on the spot!" ”

Lord Chai raised his eyebrows slightly, Feiyi did die in the Zongren Mansion, and Caifeng was already a cold corpse when he was sent over. Although he didn't know why Su Wan said this, it was better to have more than one thing, and he wouldn't refute it.

The old emperor was slightly surprised, and looked at Su Wan with a complicated face and did not speak. As early as when Fu Yanran reported Caifeng's disappearance to him, he noticed that this henchman and maidservant girl might have an even more unspeakable secret background, but he never expected that she and Feiyi were actually from Xuanwen Pavilion.

The thought that the largest reactionary organization in the empire had actually planted its henchmen in his secret guard, the old emperor's face became even more unsightly.

"By the way, this warbler song is used to osmanthus powder on weekdays." Su Wan added at the right time and said, "In this way, everything will be explained."

"Su Wan, you are really an overly smart woman." The old emperor stood up from the throne, slowly paced to the bottom of the steps, looked at Su Wan quietly and said slowly.

Su Wanyun smiled lightly and said, "I'll be praising me as my father." ”

"This thing...... Is that really the case? The third prince muttered to himself with a look of suspicion on his face.

"What? Did the third prince really expect his brother to be a villain who killed his brother and usurped the throne? Su Wan smiled coldly, looked at the third prince with sharp eyes and asked.

"No, no, if King Chen is really innocent, then it is naturally an excellent thing!" The third prince hurriedly retorted in succession, and said while looking at the old emperor as if flattering: "The sons are all brave and loyal, and they are all for the great cause of the empire!" ”

"Alright, I know." The old emperor didn't want to listen to the third prince's imposition of arguments, so he waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to go on, and turned to look at Lord Chai and said: "Since the truth of the matter has been revealed, and the perpetrator of the crime has been punished, this case can be closed, and from now on, King Chen's personal freedom will be restored." ”

"Yes, let's do it." After Lord Chai replied respectfully, he did not stop, and quickly pulled out his legs and left the Heart Cultivation Palace.

The clerks of the Zongren Mansion all had a unique vigorous and resolute spirit, and Su Wan finally showed a relieved smile.

The third prince understood that he was already at a disadvantage, and he didn't dare to look at the old emperor when he lowered his head, and whispered: "If my father has no other instructions, my son will retire first." ”

"Let's go down." The old emperor didn't bother to look at the third prince, and directly waved his hand and said.

As if he had received an amnesty, the third prince left in a hurry. Su Jin happened to be at the order of the Queen Mother to deliver medicinal food to the old emperor at this moment, and when she saw the third prince walking away with an angry face on her face from a distance, she was very strange.

It was daylight, and there were so many pairs of eyes staring around, Su Jin didn't dare to stop the third prince to ask what was going on, so he had to walk into the Heart Cultivation Hall by himself, wanting to find out from the old emperor.

"Su Wan, you have made meritorious contributions in solving the case, do you want any reward?" The old emperor squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Su Wan, and asked with an interested smile.

The old emperor originally had a lot of complaints about Su Wan's unruly personality, but according to now, thanks to her fearless personality, she was able to solve Xiao Mochen's troubles smoothly.

Su Wan smiled, and said lightly: "Erchen doesn't ask for any reward, as long as the truth can be revealed to the world, it is enough to return King Chen's innocence." ”。

"Also, I have already named you the head of the Tai Hospital, and I have specially named you the lady of the First Rank Decree, there is indeed no higher reward for you."
