Song Yu took the jade pendant in his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly, then said: "Yes, it is Mr. Xiao's thing, please come to the second floor."
Then he returned the jade pendant to Zhou Youniang. Youniang packed up her things and followed him. The two of them came to a guest room on the second floor, sat down and began to talk.
You Niang said, "I am following the orders of the young master and want to investigate the matter of the eldest princess."
Song Yu: "The eldest princess often came to the bookstore to read books before, so I have some friendship with her, so I am also more interested in the eldest princess's affairs."
Then they started talking...
It turned out that the old emperor of the Dagan Dynasty had been suffering from an unspeakable hidden illness, which caused his physical condition to deteriorate. The eldest prince suddenly suffered from a strange disease last year and was bedridden for a long time. Despite looking for many doctors and alchemists, his condition never improved. In the end, the eldest prince unfortunately passed away two months ago. After the old emperor learned of his son's death, he was extremely depressed, immersed in sadness all day, and no longer cared about state affairs. So he handed over state affairs to the eldest princess. However, this decision aroused the dissatisfaction and jealousy of the second prince. According to tradition, the second prince should have inherited the throne, but now he has been replaced by the eldest princess. This made the second prince resentful and even had some evil intentions.
So the second prince felt that he seemed to have found an opportunity that he could exploit. He planned a conspiracy to frame the eldest princess and make her lose the trust of the old emperor.
One night, the second prince sneaked into the princess's bedroom and stole a handwritten letter. He imitated the princess's handwriting and wrote a secret letter about national security. If it fell into the hands of the enemy, the princess would be accused of treason, which would bring great trouble to her.
The next morning, the second prince brought the prisoner and the document to the old emperor and cried, "Father, look! My sister actually did such a thing behind your back! She doesn't even take you seriously!" After that, he began to speak with emotion.
The old emperor took the letter and read it carefully. When he saw the contents, his face became gloomy. These handwritings proved the eldest princess's, and also involved some sensitive political issues. Then he asked about the prisoner, and the prisoner said that he was ordered by the eldest princess to deliver the things.
"This rebellious girl! How dare she be so bold!" The old emperor slammed the table in anger. He felt that he had been deceived and betrayed.
The second prince took the opportunity to say, "Father, the princess is clearly trying to sell secrets to the enemy country and then give the entire Dagan kingdom to Da Chu! We can't just sit back and watch!"
The old emperor pondered for a moment, then said: "Pass on my decree, immediately resign the princess's rights, and immediately put her under house arrest for me to decide! Then take the prisoner away and interrogate her!"
In this way, the eldest princess was placed under house arrest for no reason. After being placed under house arrest, the eldest princess had been by the old emperor's side since she was a child. She was confused and puzzled by all this. She did not believe that her father would place her under house arrest just because of one-sided words. She believed that her father would personally investigate the truth of the matter to prove her innocence and find out the real black hand behind it. But she did not wait for the fragrance she wanted, but waited for an imperial edict to be exiled to the frontier.
It turned out that after the old emperor calmed down, he thought about the situation and charged the eldest princess with treason based on just a letter. It was obviously unreasonable for her to treason as the eldest princess. Just when he was about to release the eldest princess and find out the truth, the second prince Dongfang Yun stopped him. He actually used some magic to control the old emperor's mind. After killing the witness, he wrote an edict to exile the eldest princess and let the second prince take over the court work.
The eldest princess wanted to see her father, the emperor, but she did not get her wish. She could only accept the imperial edict with tears.
After the eldest princess left, the second prince joined hands with the third prince to make a major change in the court personnel, replacing most of them with their own people. His influence in the court grew stronger and stronger. In the eyes of the ministers, the second prince was undoubtedly the best candidate for the future crown prince.
After listening to Song Yu's story, You Niang also felt sorry for the princess. Song Yu said worriedly.
"The second prince's people have long been in the court, and I also sent some people to inquire. The eldest princess did not go to the border but disappeared along the way. There is no news from her now."
Young lady said:
"I think I have understood it clearly. Sister Song Yu, please rest assured. The princess is now in Yongning City, by your side, and there is no danger. You sent me here to help the princess. Now that I understand the cause and effect, it depends on what you do next."
Song Yu replied: "Okay, Youniang, you can stay here first." Then he stood up and made arrangements.
You Niang picked up the communication book and contacted Xiao Ning. After getting in touch, she roughly explained the whole story.
After Xiao Ning thought for a while, he said:
"I have roughly understood the situation. Young lady, you can stay in the capital for a while. I plan to explain this to the princess and see how she reacts. Sister Song Yu is a trustworthy person. You can tell her directly if you have anything to say. There is no need to be shy. Let's leave it at that for now."
After the communication was disconnected, Xiao Ning pondered for a while and asked the system:
"Tongzi, how much information do you know about the eldest princess? What should I do?"
The system said proudly: "Hey, now it's up to me."
Xiao Ning began to flatter him: "Xiao Tongzi is the best~ Please help me, I hate this kind of thing the most~ It takes a lot of brainpower"
Then the system stopped making things difficult for him and continued:
