Chapter 418 - 418 - Yun Xie"s SecretThe moment Mu Jin returned to the Mo City, she immediately started doing what the people in the Southern Yue had told her. She had also given the order for people to find a person who could cure her of the poison.
Very quickly, Mu Jin received a letter from the Six Princess. In the letter, Six Princess expressed his willingness to help Mu Jin, not only for the Eastern Chu, but also to repay the kindness Wei Yuanwei had shown his before.
When Mu Jin received the letter, she felt a lump in her heart. Immediately after, she let go of Southern Yue"s Crown Prince"s att.i.tude.
To obtain more information from Southern Yue, the only way would be for Six Princess to marry the Crown Prince of Southern Yue!
Eastern Chu Kingdom was currently the target of Kingdom and Southern Yue Kingdom"s efforts to rope him in. Southern Yue Kingdom had already secretly contacted the Emperor of Eastern Chu a month ago when they saw that Xiling Country had married the princess to him. With the friendship between the two countries, they wanted to have a princess of Eastern Chu Country marry the crown prince and become the crown prince"s consort.
One of them was to marry the only princess to one of the most influential figures in Eastern Chu, while the other was to marry the king of Eastern Chu to become her imperial concubine.
If both sides were not easy to offend, then Eastern Chu would choose to not offend either side.
Thus, he agreed to the request of the Southern Yue Kingdom, and had the Crown Prince personally come to the Eastern Chu to choose a princess as his princess consort.
To Mu Jin, this was an unintentional good opportunity. As long as Six Princess became the Crown Prince"s consort and obtained the favor of the Crown Prince of Southern Yue, he would accidentally install a time bomb in Southern Yue.
Mu Jin waited in the study room for a long time, before Shangli"s slightly exhausted figure finally appeared in the study room.
"Any news?" Mu Jin looked at Shangli. After Shangli had left for such a long time, in order to find any clues between Yun Xie and him, either they had gained nothing, or they had obtained some important information.
Shangli took out a thick stack of letter from her bosom: "I had to search for a long time before I found it in the house Yun Xie used to live in, Yun Xie had been hiding it very carefully, hiding it in the middle of the drawer, if I did not pull out the entire drawer, I would not be able to find it."
Mu Jin looked at the thick stack of letters that was handed over to her by Shangli. It seemed to be written by Wei Guanshu, and the majority of the letters were written by him.
"I will look through all of the letters, no problem, but I keep having the feeling that there is something hidden in the letter Yun Xie wrote to Wei Guanshu a month before the explosion, and that there was no rush to mail it!" Mu Jin followed Shangli"s instructions and immediately opened the letter that Yun Xie had written five years ago, one month before the explosion.
There were a few letters that had not been mailed out yet. The envelopes had all been personally opened by Wei Guanshu, and should have been given to him, but for some reason, she did not send them out.
Mu Jin took a glance at them and said, "These letters are all sealed. They are not as simple as they appear on the surface!"
Mu Jin said with certainty.
"When I saw it, I thought so too, but after looking through it a few times, I still couldn"t find any clues!" Shangli had practically tried every method in her life to encrypt the words, but there still wasn"t any result.
Mu Jin looked at her again, deep in thought. Suddenly, Mu Jin looked at Shangli, "According to what I know, Yun Xie was only able to go out of the palace to patrol at the age of sixteen, which is also why she was able to get acquainted with me, who was wandering the four seas that year. In other words, Yun Xie can only contact Wei Guanshu through correspondence that year. The distance between the palace and the Prime Minister"s Estate wasn"t too far away, and Yun Xie had even been able to leave the palace freely at that time. They should have been able to meet each other quite often, but every letter Yun Xie wrote to Wei Guanshu was very long … Don"t you find it strange that every word is filled with longing? "
It was something that could be solved with just one or two sentences, why did it have to be expressed through a long letter?
And at that time, in everyone"s eyes, Yun Xie and Wei Guanshu were already childhood sweethearts! There was nothing wrong with meeting in private.
Shangli thought for a while, "Could it be... Every single letter that Yun Xie wrote to Wei Guanshu had a different meaning to it, so much that they must be hiding some sort of secret. "
Under the moonlight, Mu Jin"s silver mask seemed to be coated with a layer of netherworld light. It faintly sparkled in the dark study room. She lowered her eyes and paced around the study room, deep in thought.
Then, he flipped through the letters in his hands carefully and said to Shangli: "Did you only find these letters?"
"Yes, that"s all I found!" Shangli said with absolute certainty.
Suddenly, an understanding smile appeared on Mu Jin"s face. "Then that means that everything that Yun Xie has to say is in these letters, and the so-called Wei Guanshu"s reply is most likely not written by Wei Guanshu!"
"What do you mean?" Shangli was confused.
"As long as Wei Guanshu wakes up, I can confirm and read out the secret that Yun Xie is hiding in the envelope!" "With their relationship at that time, there was no need for Yun Xie and Wei Guanshu to hide the letter so secretly. The contents of the letter was merely the mutual exchange of thoughts between the two lovers and the contents of their relationship. It was really strange for Yun Xie to hide it, it"s not like they had feelings for each other just now.
Mu Jin was quite sure about this point given how suspicious they were.
The reason why Yun Xie had hidden all these letters and was even so secretive was because he didn"t find any letters Yun Xie had hidden in her room even after sleeping for an entire year. This was enough to show that these letters hid Yun Xie"s secrets.
The Dragon and Tiger Tattoo Jade Pendant on Wei Guanshu"s body must have been given to him by Yun Xie. Regardless of whether the Dragon and Tiger Tattoo Jade Pendant was real or fake, Yun Xie must still have some kind of secret hidden within the letters, and some things related to the underworld clans might even be hidden.
"Looks like Yun Xie has a lot of secrets on him. I told him back then that he must have some other purpose in getting close to you …" Shangli could not help but say.
The first time he saw Yun Xie, he knew that Yun Xie was a person with extremely strong interests. She had spent a lot of effort to befriend Mu Jin, and the Mu Jin at that time was also easy-going, so she didn"t care about all this.
He was originally only friends, but when Mu Jin was in trouble, Yun Xie suddenly extended his hand to help her. This has changed his opinion of Yun Xie a little, but who knows what Yun Xie was thinking at that time?
