After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

"Miss, what's wrong with you, miss?" Xian Yue returned to Chu Huanyan after buying sugar-roasted chestnuts, only to find that her young lady was stunned.

"Xianyue, go back to the house, go back to the house immediately." Chu Huanyan came back to her senses, turned around and walked towards the Hou Mansion.

Crescent Moon didn't know why, so she could only follow with chestnuts in hand.

Back at the Hou Mansion, Chu Huanyan walked into the study again.

He opened the secret compartment on the wall and took out the sachet.

Holding it in her hand, Chu Huanyan looked at the embroidery on the sachet carefully, and finally pulled out the hairpin and cut off the embroidery thread bit by bit.

When all the large swaths of lotus embroidery were removed, only a sandwich was seen where the embroidery thread covered it.

"Miss, this is..." Xian Yue looked at the sachet in surprise, not expecting that there was something hidden in the embroidery thread.

"As expected." Chu Huanyan looked at the mezzanine.

In fact, the embroidery work of the sachet is not important. What is important is that Grandma Qinfang used embroidery thread to wrap the interlayer in it. In addition, the technique is exquisite, so even if something is hidden, at most it makes people think that there is an extra layer of embroidery thread covered during embroidery, so it is slightly thicker than ordinary embroidery.

If you don't take apart the embroidery thread, you won't be able to discover the secret inside.

Chu Huanyan held the sachet and said to Xian Yue: "Xian Yue, go and guard outside. No one is allowed in."

"Yes." Xianyue responded quickly.

When she was the only one left in the study, Chu Huanyan carefully opened the interlayer and saw a piece of silk sewn inside, and the silk was densely embroidered with small characters.

This is the letter embroidered by Grandma Qinfang, and it is also the story of everything that happened back then.

Chu Huanyan stared at the extremely small words, reading them word by word, going back and forth carefully several times, and the doubts in her heart were finally solved.

Xiao Jinzhi is truly the blood of the late emperor.

At that time, Qinfang was still waiting in front of the emperor. At first, she didn't understand why Concubine Mei was suddenly placed under house arrest. It was not until later that I accidentally discovered that the late emperor came out of the secret passage.

She originally thought that she would be executed by the late emperor, but she did not expect that the late emperor was kind enough to spare her life and entrust her to take good care of Concubine Mei.

It was also from that time that she learned that the late emperor was poisoned and that Concubine Mei was pregnant. The late emperor knew that he had no power to save his life, so everything he did was to protect Concubine Mei and the child in her belly.

Unfortunately, Emperor Xiao discovered everything later. He originally wanted to kill Concubine Mei, but was told by the late emperor that he had already made arrangements. If something happened to Concubine Mei, Emperor Xiao would kill his brother, which would be the crime of regicide. It will be announced to the world immediately.

Emperor Xiao was dubious and did not take action immediately. As a result, part of the relevant evidence was sent to his study that night. Emperor Xiao searched for a long time, but he never found the person who was secretly entrusted.

Later, the late emperor died, and before his death, Emperor Xiao asked Emperor Xiao to save Concubine Mei and her unborn child, and let that child become the prince and ascend the throne in the future. If they fail to do so, the people in the dark will still reveal everything to the world.

At that time, Queen Wei was also pregnant and gave birth to a stillborn fetus at the same time as Concubine Mei.

Emperor Xiao originally wanted Li Daitao to tell Concubine Mei that her child was dead, but Concubine Mei found out. She knew who the person arranged by the late emperor was, and secretly contacted Concubine Mei to pass on the news.

Therefore, Emperor Xiao failed to deceive him, and Xiao Jinzhi became Emperor Xiao's son, and was later named a prince.

At that time, Emperor Xiao wanted to find the person who had evidence hiding in the dark, so he interrogated Concubine Mei in various ways. Concubine Mei burned herself to death in order to keep the secret.

As the insider of everything, Nanny Qinfang could only hide everything and continue to stay in the palace.

Chu Huanyan clenched the silk in her hand, feeling extremely complicated.

Therefore, the reason why Emperor Xiao kept Xiao Jinzhi firmly in the position of crown prince for so many years was actually because he was afraid of the people in the dark, and worried that if he did not follow the instructions of the late emperor, the people in the dark would make everything public.

That was the way the late emperor struggled to arrange a way out for his children when he was at the end of his rope.

What about parents?

My father and mother should not be people who were secretly entrusted by the late emperor, so they accidentally discovered the clues of what happened back then. After investigation, they were discovered by Emperor Xiao or Empress Wei, and they killed them.

And since they were able to get this sachet, it means that they must have met Aunt Qinfang at that time. Perhaps Aunt Qinfang knew that her time was running out, so she entrusted the sachet to her parents.

She didn't know if her parents had seen the contents of this sachet, but now she was absolutely sure that her parents' death must be because of this.

Taking a deep breath, Chu Huanyan carefully folded the silk and put it into the sachet.

After standing in the study for a long time, she finally sent someone to send a message to Xiao Jinzhi, asking him to come to the Hou Mansion.

Xiao Jinzhi arrived at the Hou Mansion at night, "Yan Yan, the news just came back, Jiang Zhou was last seen in Liyang City."

"Liyang City?" Chu Huanyan frowned, "Are you sure?"

"It should be Jiang Zhou, but since he entered Liyang City, he has lost his whereabouts, but it is very likely that he is still in Liyang City."

Although Jiang Zhou has not been completely found yet, it is not easy to find out this news.

"That's good. Anyway, we finally have some clues." Chu Huanyan said in a low voice.

Noticing that Chu Huanyan was in a bad mood, Xiao Jinzhi walked to her side and asked, "Did something happen?"

"There are some things I didn't tell you before." Chu Huanyan looked at Xiao Jinzhi, "Actually, Mr. Han also said something before he died. He said that Concubine Mei seemed to be pregnant..."

Xianyue and Qin Li both stayed far away from the study. In the study, Chu Huanyan whispered word by word, from the words of Mr. Han when he died, to his own doubts and his feelings towards Concubine Mei. investigation.

"Why didn't you tell me before?" Xiao Jinzhi looked at Chu Huanyan blankly, feeling confused.

The child of Concubine Mei and the late emperor? This is really ridiculous, but since Yan Yan is telling herself this now, does that mean...

"The above are just speculations. Without any evidence, that idea is too ridiculous, so I didn't tell you." Chu Huanyan frowned and spoke.

"So now, is there any evidence?" Xiao Jinzhi smiled and looked at Chu Huanyan, waiting for her next answer.

Chu Huanyan pursed her lips, took out the sachet from her sleeve, took out the silk and handed it to Xiao Jinzhi, "This is the letter left by Grandma Qinfang found in the sachet."

The latter stared at the silk embroidered with small characters in front of him, his fingertips trembling slightly. After a while, he finally reached out and took it...
