Lan Shuang shouted desperately, "Of course you destroyed it so there's no way to prove it! Didn't my brother just say that you burned the letter? It's clear that this isn't the first time you've used this method to destroy evidence."

Prince Yu interrupted her, "The Princess only burned one letter, and it has been more than a month since that day. If Xu Zhuo corresponded with the Princess every day, there should still be thirty letters left."

Gu Jiangli chimed in, "Yes, Your Majesty, why don't we search the Prince's residence thoroughly? Perhaps those thirty letters are hidden somewhere unknown."

The emperor gazed at her intently for a moment, then ordered, "Prince Yu, although this is your residence, I should have no problem searching it if I wish, right?"

Gu Jiangli was surprised that the emperor would ask for Prince Yu's opinion. Did this emperor even know to follow the rules of the host family when he was in someone else's house?

He's so polite?

Could it be that my malicious speculation about him was wrong?

Just as he was thinking this, Prince Yu immediately replied: "Your Majesty, I will have my servants search the Prince's residence right away."

The servants immediately sprang into action, and even the guards who were originally in the emperor's room woke up and joined the search.

Lan Shuang felt uneasy because Gu Jiangli's composure was too abnormal.

All the plans were going against her expectations, and she felt a sense of dread, as if she were shrouded in a conspiracy.

A moment later, a servant followed the guard into the room and presented a box with both hands.

The box was still covered in mud, so it was obviously dug out of the ground.

The servant opened the box, and neatly arranged letters were placed inside.

When the emperor opened it, he found it was full of ambiguous and affectionate love words.

Looking at Xu Zhuo's bluish-purple face, it was undoubtedly the letter he had sent to Gu Jiangli.

"Where was it found?" the emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, it was found... under a pear tree in the young princess's courtyard."
