The first letter was not very long.

Li Niang said in the letter -

When my brother saw this letter from me, I must have died long ago.

After many years, you have not forgotten me, and you can still remember the agreement between us, and my heart is very happy.

The reason why I haven't contacted my brother for so many years is because I know a secret.

I can't let anyone know my whereabouts, I don't want to trouble my brother, I can't let you and the rest of the Deng family get into danger.

I wanted to take that secret to the grave so that all grievances could be put to an end.

I was ready to die, and before I died, I went back to Bashu to see my children.

But when I got there, I realized that my child was dead.

I know they did it.

They killed the Feng family!

I also know that there is a survivor in the Feng family, and the child went to Yujing.

She was a wise and filial child, and I left the bracelet to him,

I believe that she will find out the truth and give the family justice.

Brother, please help her when she finds you.

Pear Niang's masterpiece.

Yu Yuanxuan couldn't wait to unfold the second piece of paper.

This piece of paper is densely filled with words, and Li Niang told the secret in this letter-

It turned out that the draft of that year was not just for the selection of concubines, but also for the selection of queens.

The first emperor's original queen died of illness and wanted to remarry another queen, Concubine Meng, as the oldest person in the palace, had good character and behavior, so the first emperor entrusted this matter to her.

In order to avoid unnecessary disputes, Concubine Meng did not make a public announcement and acted in a very low-key manner.

So very few people know about it.

Concubine Meng fell in love with Li Niang at a glance, and felt that she was the best choice to succeed the queen no matter her appearance or her virtue and talent.

But just the day before the draft began, Ri Niang suddenly fell down the stairs, although the rescue was not life-threatening in time, but she will definitely leave scars on her face and body.

As a result, she can no longer participate in the draft, and the position of queen will naturally leave her.

Then her sister Deng Yuluo took the place of Li Niang, and was brought into the palace by Concubine Meng and became a candidate for the queen.

Others thought that Li Niang was injured by an accident, but only Li Niang knew in her heart that she was pushed down the stairs.

The person who killed her was her half-sister.

Li Niang couldn't swallow this breath, and she was determined to take revenge.

She knew that Deng Yuluo had been in contact with a young and handsome scholar in private, Deng Yuluo had a good impression of that scholar, and she originally planned to let the scholar go to her house to propose marriage after losing the election.

But when she learned that this draft was not only about choosing a concubine, but also about the queen, Deng Yuluo immediately cut off contact with the scholar and devoted herself to the draft.

was dumped inexplicably, and the scholar was resentful.

When Li Niang found him, he agreed to help her almost without thinking about it.

Li Niang entered the palace under the pretense of visiting her sister, and she brought two maids with her, one of whom was disguised as a scholar.

She took advantage of the unpreparedness and drugged Deng Yuluo's food.

When Deng Yuluo was confused and had a drug attack, Li Niang called the scholar.

Then Li Niang walked out of the house, and at the end she didn't forget to close the door and handed Deng Yuluo to the scholar.

What Li Niang thought was that as long as Deng Yuluo was broken, it would be impossible to be crowned queen.

What she couldn't get, Deng Yuluo didn't want to get!

Coincidentally, the emperor suddenly visited that night.

He wanted to see with his own eyes what the eldest lady of the Deng family, who was said to be talented and good-looking, looked like?

Li Niang didn't want the emperor to see her ugly appearance, so she deliberately extinguished all the candles in the house.

When the emperor came in, he could only vaguely see the slender figure of Li Niang by the hazy moonlight that came in through the window.

The emperor wanted people to light candles and take a closer look at Li Niang's face.

Li Niang rushed to the doctor, and under the pretext of toasting, she quietly poured the last bit of unused drug into the wine glass.

After a glass of wine, the emperor began to become confused, and his body became hot.

Li Niang wanted to take the opportunity to leave, but was pulled by the emperor who lost his mind and pressed to the cold ground.

Li Niang didn't dare to make a sound, if she attracted the attention of those palace maids and eunuchs outside, her plan would be exposed, and not only her, but the entire Deng family would suffer at that time.

She could only grit her teeth and endure it, and finally survived until the end.

The emperor was so tired that he fell asleep, and Li Niang got up with the pain and humiliation, got dressed and left quietly.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Li Niang hurriedly left the palace with two maids.

Back in Deng's mansion, Li Niang gave the scholar a sum of money and asked him to leave Yujing and go as far as possible.

It was at that time that she learned that the scholar had taken the jade bracelet on Deng Yuluo's wrist, and he said that he would never see Deng Yuluo in the future, and wanted to keep a bracelet as a souvenir.

Li Niang didn't think much about it at the time, and quickly sent the person away.

She originally thought that Deng Yuluo would definitely lose the election after being broken.

It turned out that she still underestimated Deng Yuluo.

Deng Yuluo didn't know what to do, but she escaped the physical examination in the palace and was successfully elected as the queen.

Li Niang watched Deng Yuluo ascend to the high position and took over the phoenix seal representing the queen's identity from the emperor.

At that moment, Li Niang knew that she had lost.

Deng Yuluo, who has become the queen, will definitely not let her go.

She could only disguise herself and quietly leave Yujing.

Originally, she wanted to go back to the Deng family, but she accidentally found out that she was pregnant on the way.

Now she can't even go back to the Deng family.

She couldn't tell the origin of the child in her womb, so she could only hide in Tibet and wander around.

After several turnarounds, she finally came to Jinguancheng and gave birth to a son with the help of Grandma Sun.

She knew that she was unable to raise her son, and she was even more afraid that her existence would affect her son, so she could only get rid of Grandma Sun to help her son find a good family.

At that time, the Feng family and his wife wanted a child very much, so Grandma Sun sent the child to his house.

After making sure that the Feng family couple could take good care of the child, Li Niang quietly left Jinguancheng and continued her wandering journey.

That's the end of the letter.

There is no need for Li Niang to say what happened after that, and Yu Yuanrong also knows it.

Li Niang couldn't accept her son's tragic death, so she didn't hesitate to risk returning to Yujing and using herself as bait to lure the real murderer to appear.

She deliberately jumped into the Yuhe River on Chinese New Year's Eve in order to attract the attention of the government.

She knew that Yu Yuanyu would definitely find out the truth.

So she left the jade bracelet as a clue.

She also knew that her brother would come all the way to Yujing for her.

So she buried two letters under the pear tree.

Even if she gives everything, she has to let the truth come out and let the real murderer be punished!

Yu Yuan was holding the fluttering rice paper, but he felt that it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

Some of these truths were something she had anticipated.

But some, she didn't expect.
