125: 180 letters

"Prime Minister Yu, please don't jump to conclusions about things without evidence!"

Being surrounded and questioned like a prisoner by these people, Third Prince Sheng Tianlong also got angry.

"Isn't this cup of tea the evidence?!" The Middle-aged man picked up the tea and pointed at Third Prince Sheng Tianlong emotionally.

"There's medicine in the tea, how would I know who put it there?" Third Prince Sheng Tianlong refused to admit it.

"I can testify for Third Prince, he didn't tamper with this cup of tea."

Second Prince, who had been silent all along, stepped forward.

This made the people of the Yu family look a bit displeased.

You yourself are a suspect, yet you're testifying for others.

"Both of you are Princes, no matter how great my means are, I certainly can't do anything to either of you."

Prime Minister Yu said slowly, but his gaze was sharp: "However, regarding today's matter, this old subject will definitely report it to the Emperor, so that all the civil and military officials in the court know!"

Having been in the court for so many years, Prime Minister Yu would not be a person who swallows his anger.

"Both of you, please leave, Yu will not see you out!"

He flicked his sleeve.

There was no possibility of reconciliation at all.

In Prime Minister Yu's opinion, under the circumstances just now, these two people were trying to murder him!

Fortunately, Fifth Prince saved him.

Thinking of this, Prime Minister Yu smiled at Sheng Changge: "Fifth Prince, it's Just right time for dinner, why don't you stay and eat before you leave."

"It would be impolite to refuse."

Looking at Prime Minister Yu and Sheng Changge talking and laughing, Third Prince Sheng Tianlong's eyes were full of coldness.

He originally came here to win over Prime Minister Yu, this important piece, but how could he have imagined that the poison he administered would instead become someone else's wedding dress!

"I underestimated you, Imperial Brother."

After his gaze lingered on Sheng Changge for a long time, Third Prince Sheng Tianlong finally left this place where he was humiliated.

...

Evening.

After returning to his residence, Sheng Changge took out a piece of beautiful jade.

This was a gift from Prime Minister Yu, according to him, he could use this jade to ask him to do one thing.

Although he didn't recruit Prime Minister Yu during this trip to the Yu residence, making him fall out with Third Prince Sheng Tianlong was the biggest gain.

"Ding ~ Host has been regarded as a direct opponent by the various Princes, System 2.0 version update."

"Version 2.0 has been updated, adding a visualized Son of Destiny panel and a point-based query function."

As Ye Tian's voice spoke, Sheng Changge opened the System panel.

After the update, there wasn't much change overall, only two more panels appeared.

One of them had seven names written on it, the names of the seven Princes of Sheng Country!

It also included Sheng Changge's own name.

And behind these names was a string of Destiny value!

Sheng Changge could see that his own Destiny value was 35,000 points, narrowly surpassing Sixth Prince to rank third.

First Prince, who was second, had 50,000 Destiny value.

Third Prince Sheng Tianlong, who was first, had a Destiny value as high as 80,000!

This allowed Sheng Changge to see the gap most intuitively.

On the surface, Third Prince Sheng Tianlong didn't really surpass First Prince in any way, and in the eyes of many, he and Sixth Prince were on the same level.

But what was displayed on this System.

Not only did Third Prince Sheng Tianlong surpass First Prince, but he was far ahead!

It seems that the hidden trump card Third Prince Sheng Tianlong has absolutely cannot be ignored.

As for the other newly added panel.

There was only one line of text - 'Consume a certain amount of points to query anything.'

Current points: 0

Sheng Changge had no way to understand this function further, after all, he had no points.

"System, what is today's sign-in reward?"

Recovering from the updated panel, Sheng Changge immediately asked the System.

"Ding ~ Congratulations Host on successful sign-in, rewarding 180 letters."

Item: 180 letters

Description: Each letter contains the feelings of a certain woman

A pile of old and new envelopes appeared on the table in front of him, which made Sheng Changge slightly confused.

The System's explanation was too general.

"If the Host wants a detailed introduction, you can consume a Bag of Tricks to exchange for points, which can be used for querying."

Ye Tian revealed his true purpose.

What was the upgrade for? Wasn't it to be able to exploit more effectively and reasonably?

"Are these letters very important?" Sheng Changge hesitated a bit.

"These letters will only be useful if the Host understands them. If you don't understand, the things obtained from this sign-in are just a pile of waste paper."

Ye Tian's answer made Sheng Changge nod secretly.

Looked at it this way, these things would have to be figured out sooner or later.

"System, exchange one Bag of Tricks for points!"

"Ding ~ Host exchange successful, currently remaining Bag of Tricks: one, points: 100."

"100 points have already been consumed for the Host to query the origin of the 180 letters."

"All 100 points were used?" Sheng Changge felt like he had been tricked.

Ye Tian did not respond.

Lines of introduction related to these letters appeared on the System panel.

Twelve years ago.

The entire family of two young girls was killed by thugs, and they were fortunate to escape with the help of a noble person.

The rescued girl was trained by the noble person and became an assassin.

When the two women first killed as assassins, fear filled their hearts, and that day, the two sisters suffered from insomnia.

And the Sister thought of their original home.

In the home that was destroyed many years ago, there still remained some faint emotions of the Sister. Under a strange impulse, the Sister wrote a letter and sent it in the direction of her home.

She didn't know if anyone would receive this letter, and she didn't know if her original home had long ceased to exist.

Just like that.

The two sisters began to become official assassins on the right track, until one day, the Sister received a letter.

That letter was sent from their original home!

Opening the letter, the person who wrote it was a stranger.

He said he was fortunate enough to receive the letter the Sister sent to that land.

In the letter, the young man's handwriting was very neat, and he talked about many of his own things.

The Sister sighed and ignored it.

Ten days later, the young man's second letter arrived.

He said that he watched the Sheng Country's Lantern Festival today, and it was very beautiful. Every lantern floating in the water and every lantern rising in the sky had everyone's wishes written on them. He also wrote down his wish, hoping it would come true.

Continuously, within two months, the boy sent several more letters.

Although she never responded to a single one, the Sister read every letter.

Until later, the Sister responded.

Just like that, the correspondence between the Sister and that man gradually became frequent.

From naive youth to the age of thirty, one letter every ten days.

In this era of horse-drawn carriages and letters, two people who had never met miraculously communicated for five years through letters, and at the same time developed feelings for each other!

"It's been five years, can we meet? Just in the Capital, didn't you say you liked the Lantern Festival the most? I heard this year's Lantern Festival is very beautiful."

The beautiful Sister, with a smile on her lips, wrote this suggestion in her letter.

Only.

After this letter was sent, half a month later, there was still no response.

The Sister sent a new letter in confusion.

Another half month passed, and there was still no response.

That man seemed to have suddenly disappeared... disappeared forever.
