"With all due respect, I don't quite understand what the elders think, nor what they do." Song Qiyun shook his head in disapproval, "What kind of secret can make them spend so much money to protect it? A prince and a first-rank lady have all paid a heavy price for this secret that may never be revealed to the world. Is it really worth it?"

"Qi Yun is right. If you really want to protect the so-called secret, you can think of other ways." Song Jinyu also agreed with this statement, "There is no need to do this. This is not a matter of one or two lives, but also theirs." The reputation is really not worth it.”

"You are right. I guess everyone here thinks so, but please understand that the environment they were in at that time is beyond our understanding. Perhaps such a choice was the best choice at the time. The best." Song Jue smiled bitterly and said, "With internal and external troubles, if we sacrifice the lives and reputations of a few people to exchange for the peace of Daxia, I will do the same."

"Agree!" Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Bai Meng nodded at the same time, "For us, personal feelings will always be under the safety of Daxia and the interests of the people. If our speculation is correct, then His Highness Prince Ning and Xue Auntie's choice is the same as ours."

"You..." Song Qiyun shook his head gently, "Isn't there a way to get the best of both worlds?"

"You can't have your cake and eat it too." Shen Cha smiled bitterly, "Sometimes you have to make a choice, which is very cruel and very cruel. I believe that the late emperor and the others will not bear the pain to make a choice unless they have to do so. This one."

Song Qiyun stared at her for a while, then nodded silently.

"I see."

"Well, you don't have to be so depressed. At least we still have room for redemption now. We can also figure out what kind of truth is hidden in this, right? Compared with those who will always be buried in the dust and forever forgotten by the world. Misunderstanding, we are still very lucky, right?" Song Jue smiled at Song Qiyun, "I sorted it out a little, and the information collected from the queen mother pointed to the little emperor's uncle, and all the evidence proved that, The little emperor's uncle's goal is the throne, and he wants to use very despicable means to get rid of all the stumbling blocks on his way to becoming the prince, including me, Qiyun, and Xiaojiu. But after our analysis, although this is possible, it is not possible. It’s not very big, for the reason I just mentioned.”

"Of course, this is just our speculation before we see the evidence. If it turns out that His Highness Prince Ning really has evil intentions, considering his crimes that have been made public and the fatal assassination, he can still be intact. He survived and lived his small life leisurely in the imperial mausoleum..." Shen Haolin raised the corners of his lips, "Then, it is very possible that he knows something that he should not know."

"For example, the secret that the late emperor wanted to hide, he used this as a bargaining chip to make a deal with the late emperor. The late emperor saved his and his family's lives, and he promised to keep this secret." Shen Cha nodded, "This situation is really related to him. The possibility of rebellion is the same, but lower. I still prefer him to be the one who was sacrificed. But before seeing him, all possibilities exist. We cannot be sure about the situation of His Highness Prince Ning back then. Which one does it belong to?"

"Oh, your adults' minds are really complicated!" Song Qiyun was a little irritable. He looked up to the sky and sighed, "Either you have this secret, or you have something that you don't want to make public. It's really hard to be an adult!"

"There is nothing we can do about it. When my father was in power, he was as calm as water on the surface. In fact, there was an undercurrent surging in private, but it was not very peaceful. It is understandable that they would be so cautious in doing things." Song Jue smiled bitterly.

, "It's not easy to be the emperor, it's really too difficult!"

"Not only is it difficult to be the emperor, but it is also difficult for those of us who are ministers, right?" Bai Meng blinked at Song Jue, "Not only was the late emperor at that time, but even now, the people who are staring at us are

Eyes, too! They want us to make mistakes, and even if they can't replace us, they can still cause trouble for us from time to time and make us feel uncomfortable."

"That's what happened!" Song Jue saw that Song Qiyun was no longer entangled, and pointed at the dozen or so hills behind him, "Let's get down to business, no matter what we have speculated, we still need to read these files. If you don't want to,

I can only force you to bite the bullet. Because there are too many of them, we need mutual help to overcome this problem. You..." He looked at everyone, "Do you have any good ideas? How should we start to compare?

suitable?"

"In chronological order, everyone will first take ten files, and copy the key points in these ten files on blank paper. After everyone has read the files in their hands, discuss them. After the discussion, there are no problems, and then continue

Look at ten copies. Repeat this cycle until we have all these things done.”

"Sister Xiaocha is right!" Song Qiyun suddenly became more energetic, "This is what we did when we discussed the war case."

"Since there are examples to follow, let's follow this method and let's get started!"

In order to set an example, Song Jue stood up first, walked to the dozen or so hills, and took away the earliest ten files in chronological order, even if he really had a headache watching this kind of thing.

He held it to his position and looked at it seriously.

However, when he opened the first copy, he couldn't help but cursed.

Everyone didn't quite understand why Song Jue was angry, and when they opened the files in their hands, they couldn't control their emotions.

Every file in the Ministry of Punishment looked very thin, and seemed to not have much content. After opening it, I discovered that it was densely packed with words, all written in small regular script. The small character really made everyone doubt their own.

My eyes are dazzled. If I don’t look carefully, I will think that those on the paper are all small black bumps!

Because of this objective factor, their progress is very slow. They need to read it word for word, otherwise it will be easy to read. In addition, they also have to transcribe the key points. This night, let alone ten files, not even half

not done.

Because they were too focused, everyone realized that the night had passed so quickly when the sky outside lit up.

Stretched, raised their heads and looked at each other, everyone burst out laughing. Everyone was staying up like red-eyed rabbits, especially Song Jinyu who rarely stayed up late. She seemed to have lost her soul and half leaned on her back.

Mei Zhu's eyes were staring blankly in front of her.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at my little sister's face!" Song Jue yawned and leaned over to look at Song Jinyu, "Little sister, you should go freshen up and look at the girls in this room.

, you are the sloppiest. If you scrape the oil off your face and send it to the imperial kitchen, you can probably cook two plates of dishes. Xiaobaizi, don’t you think so?"

Bai Meng didn't say anything, but gave Song Jue a big roll of his eyes, asking him to understand what it meant.

"Brother Emperor, if you don't keep silent for a day, will you feel uncomfortable?" Song Qiyun retorted rudely. He stood up and stretched, and found a relatively empty place to stretch his muscles.
