Seeing that she didn't hide anything, Princess Heyi asked curiously, "Thirteen years have passed since the Marquis of Anle's affair, and you're the only one left in the entire family. Even if you find out the truth, what good will it do you?"
Not only would it bring no benefit, but it would also offend the emperor, making it not worth it at all.
Su Wenyuan replied, "It was my responsibility all along. In this matter, I don't seek any personal gain, only peace of mind. I ask you, to whom was the letter written by Marquis Anle delivered back then?"
Everyone says that Marquis Anle is colluding with Qikong Kingdom, but who exactly is he colluding with?
Princess Heyi shrugged and said, "I don't know."
Su Wenyuan felt that her attitude was perfunctory and was about to express her dissatisfaction when Princess Heyi explained, "I really didn't know. The letter didn't have a name written on it, and I haven't seen those letters before."
It seems that only the Emperor saw those letters.
“I inquired about it after I went to Qikong Kingdom, but I didn’t hear of anyone colluding with Marquis Anle. I thought this matter hadn’t been widely known and that not many people knew about it, which is why I couldn’t find out about it.”
"Later I asked the Emperor, but he didn't know either." Princess Heyi looked at her helplessly.
The death of Marquis Anle was a good thing for Qikong Kingdom, and the ministers who corresponded with him could be considered meritorious officials.
However, no one claimed responsibility for this matter. Neither the civil officials in the court nor the military officers on the battlefield at the time knew about it.
This is strange. He said he sent a message to Qikong Kingdom, but no one in Qikong Kingdom could be found to receive the message.
Su Wenyuan then asked, "Did Qikong Kingdom obtain any useful information from Marquis Anle thirteen years ago?"
The Emperor once said that he did not convict someone based on a few letters.
That means there is other evidence.
Evidence is hard to find, but if Marquis Anle really did betray his country, there must be some news to prove it.
Princess Heyi scoffed, "There are definitely a lot of rumors, but finding the source is very difficult. As for whether there are any, only those who have direct ties with him know. No one else knows."
"When two countries are at war, both sides may receive messages from unknown sources. These messages could be a deliberate attempt by the opposing general to create confusion, or they could be from another country trying to take advantage of the situation."
"In short, it's not difficult to pass messages without being identified. But no one has directly used the name of Marquis Anle."
All the answers proved that Marquis Anle had not betrayed the country.
In fact, the letters were produced internally by Ankawa, and no one in Qikong knew about them.
Su Wenyuan wanted to ask one more question, but was interrupted by Princess Heyi.
"After all I've said, when are you going to help me?"
Su Wenyuan said, "I will help you when I get back, but it will take a few days to get a definite result."
Princess Heyi understood, after all, this matter had to be decided by the Emperor.
No matter how capable Su Wenyuan and Sheng Jingyu were in persuading the Emperor, they couldn't change his mind with just a few words.
"Is there anything else you want to ask?"
Su Wenyuan asked bluntly, "Didn't Qikong Kingdom participate in this matter?"
"..." Princess Heyi suddenly hesitated, no longer answering as readily as before.
"It seems you were involved. Then why did you say you didn't know about the letter?" Su Wenyuan quickly pressed, not giving Princess Heyi time to think.
Princess He Yi said, "I'm not thinking about how to deceive you, but about how to present this matter. I was involved, but it was just going with the flow."
"I really don't know about the letter, but it seems that Qikong Kingdom also has such a plan to frame someone. This plan has nothing to do with Marquis Anle, after all, Marquis Anle's position in the court is not easy to touch."
Moreover, Marquis Anle has little influence over the outcome of battles, and he is not good at fighting.
But after Marquis Anle was imprisoned, Qikong Kingdom gave him a push.
Furthermore, there were some things that were inconvenient to say, which Princess Heyi subtly reminded everyone of. What she meant was that there were truly traitorous ministers in the court, and those ministers had taken advantage of the situation to their advantage.
If we continued, it would involve many more issues, and Princess Heyi did not intend to continue.
Su Wenyuan's last question: "Do you know that Marquis Anle was framed?"
Princess Heyi laughed and said, "I don't know, but I can guess. Aren't you guessing too?"
It's not hard to guess; it just depends on whether people are willing to think about it more.
If there were absolutely no unreasonable aspects to the whole process, even if Su Wenyuan wanted to re-investigate now, very few people would agree.
However, the process was riddled with flaws, which led to people echoing Su Wenyuan's comments as soon as she mentioned it.
“I suggest you stop dwelling on this matter. Father will not investigate it again, and no emperor will be willing to bother in the future, unless… Prince Chen can make the decision, but he is blind.”
To everyone else, Su Wenyuan's antics were completely pointless.
Princess Heyi didn't say this to advise her; she just wanted to make a sarcastic remark.
Don't think that becoming Princess Consort of Prince Chen means you can do whatever you want.
Prince Chen is not a good choice; in fact, it's a dead end.
Su Wenyuan ignored it and instead sorted out the information in her mind. She needed to determine whether Princess Heyi was telling the truth or not.
It doesn't seem fake, after all, the investigation results of Sheng Jingyu's people in Qikong Kingdom are about the same.
No one in Qikong Kingdom knew about this, nor was there any news about it. As Princess Heyi said, they knew nothing about it in the first place, which sounds reasonable.
If it wasn't planned by Qikong Kingdom, then the conflict must be within Anchuan Kingdom.
Su Wenyuan's first thought was that Marquis Anle's power was too great and the Emperor could not tolerate him.
But the whole thing happened suddenly, not like something that had been carefully considered and planned for many years; it seemed like a spur-of-the-moment decision.
Could it be that the Emperor suddenly became intolerant of him?
Su Wenyuan couldn't understand this matter, but after she was certain that it was an internal problem in Anchuan, she became even more suspicious of the emperor.
When Princess Heyi left, she didn't intend to say goodbye. She had already reached the door when she remembered something.
"How about... you come with me? I suddenly realize you're very useful. There's nothing good about you staying here. I can forgive and forget about the past."
Su Wenyuan frowned and asked, "You were born and raised here, so why do you have such deep feelings for Qikong Kingdom now?"
Su Wenyuan understood why Princess Heyi disliked Anchuan Kingdom, and she could also understand why Princess Heyi submitted to the Emperor.
After all, she was sent there for a political marriage, and her primary goal was to survive.
But now Su Wenyuan saw in her eyes her longing for Qikong Kingdom. It wasn't a forced return, but a heartfelt desire to go back.
Princess Heyi laughed and said, "Apart from Lord Su, you have no family. You were forced to marry back then. Your father will never reveal the truth to you. When the new emperor ascends the throne, Prince Chen will not have a good ending."
"Although you are the Princess Consort of Prince Chen, the outcome will certainly not be good when that day comes. Under such circumstances, why don't you even consider asking me to come with you to Qikong Kingdom?"
