Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1136: There’s a Problem with the Secret Letter

The main hall was left with only Qin Yi and Long Hai.

"Mr. Qin, please have some tea," Long Hai said with a smile.

Qin Yi nodded and, as he lifted the teacup, casually placed the token on the table.

Long Hai had been observing that token all along.

Qin Yi smiled slightly, picked the token up, and handed it directly to Long Hai, "Take your time looking at it."

He already knew that the token was only half, and the other half should be in Long Hai's hands.

Long Hai took the token and then pulled out an identical one from his pocket, the two tokens fitting perfectly together.

Long Hai returned the token to Qin Yi, smiling, "Mr. Qin, if I remember correctly, you have quite a relationship with the Third Princess."

"That's right! But who says that my close relationship with the Third Princess means I can't have dealings with the Second Prince?"

Long Hai paused for a moment, and he probably already understood that Qin Yi was a double agent. Perhaps the Second Prince had Qin Yi infiltrate Yun Susu's side. He was convinced that Qin Yi was a person of the Second Prince; otherwise, the Second Prince would never entrust such an important item as the token to someone he didn't trust.

"Mr. Qin, is the Second Prince doing well?"

Qin Yi shook his head, "Not too well; he is currently under house arrest, unable to move freely. This time, the Second Prince is in big trouble; the Emperor is furious. If there isn't enough evidence to prove that he wasn't involved in the assassination of Lady Qiu, it will be very difficult for the Emperor to lift the ban."

Sure enough, Long Hai's expression turned serious.

"Then Mr. Qin, is there anything the Second Prince wants to entrust to you?"

Qin Yi nodded slightly and took out a secret letter, "This is what the Second Prince asked me to pass on to you."

Long Hai took the letter, carefully examined it for a while, and then said, "Mr. Qin, please wait a moment, have some tea, I'll be right back."

Qin Yi nodded slightly.

Long Hai hastily left the back of the main hall, returned all the way to his bedroom, came to the desk, and turned a pen holder.

"Boom!"

A landscape painting on the wall behind him automatically rose, a panel on the wall sunk in, revealing a hidden compartment.

Long Hai took a rosewood box from the hidden compartment, placed it on the desk, and opened it; inside were several letters, all correspondence between him and the Second Prince.

Long Hai picked up a letter, carefully comparing it to confirm that the secret letter given by Qin Yi was indeed in the Second Prince's handwriting, and then he opened it with confidence.

However, when he finished reading the content of the letter, his old face suddenly changed, full of fear.

It turned out the Second Prince instructed him in the letter to prepare in advance and to be ready to rebel at his command.

Rebellion?

Long Hai supported the Second Prince but never thought of rebellion. Because once the rebellion failed, it would lead to complete ruin.

Rumor has it that there are a thousand Black Armor Warriors around the Emperor, who were once Great Perfection Realm masters, who can rival them? Besides, although they, the War Generals, hold significant power in their hands, the Emperor also commands a hundred thousand elite troops.

The chance of success in rebelling was less than one percent.

Besides, he supported the Second Prince to achieve a promotion and wealth, to secure his position as War General, never thinking of betraying the Emperor.

Is the Second Prince crazy?

The mere thought of rebellion made his heart race.

But suddenly, his gaze on the secret letter became sharp, and he slapped it onto the table.

"Come here."

The soldier at the door pushed the door open and entered.

"Come closer."

The soldier stepped forward, and Long Hai whispered a few words in his ear.

"Go quickly."

"Yes."

After the soldier left, Long Hai restored everything to its original state and then came to the main hall.

"Mr. Qin, sorry for the wait," Long Hai said with a smile.

Qin Yi shook his head, "No problem!"

Long Hai raised the secret letter in his hand, "Mr. Qin, have you read the contents of this letter?"

"I have not read it, the Second Prince entrusted it to you, it wouldn't be suitable for me to read it."

Long Hai handed the secret letter over, "No worries, the fact that the Second Prince allowed you to deliver it shows how much he trusts you. Look at its contents, it's very interesting."

"Is this appropriate?" Qin Yi asked; he had already read the letter, which was written by Qiu Tang.

"Mr. Qin, don't be so polite. We're all in the same camp, nothing inappropriate about it."

Qin Yi's gaze flickered slightly; Long Hai had just said the contents of the letter were very interesting, but the letter contained matters about rebellion, why would he use the phrase very interesting?

Could it be that he saw through that the secret letter was fake?

It can't be; he compared it at the time, and Qiu Tang's handwriting was no different from Yun Baixuan's.

Qin Yi opened the secret letter and started to read, the more he read, the more shocked he became, until finally, he exclaimed out loud and looked at Long Hai, "This..."

"Isn't it very interesting?" Long Hai laughed.

"Does General Long find the contents here interesting? This is a crime of implicating nine clans."

Long Hai said, "Precisely for this reason, I find it interesting. You think, the Second Prince must be at the end of his rope to resort to rebellion."

"That's right, to be honest, the Second Prince is really in big trouble this time."

"Mr. Qin, did the Second Prince entrust this secret letter to you, has anyone else touched it?" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Qin Yi squinted slightly, "Certainly not, the secret letter has always been with me, if anyone else touched it, it would only be you."

Long Hai suddenly laughed.

Qin Yi said coldly, "Why does General Long laugh?"

Long Hai's face suddenly darkened, his gaze fiercely fixed on Qin Yi, "You are not actually a person of the Second Prince."

Qin Yi's heart jumped; what did Long Hai know? Or is he bluffing?

"General Long, what do you mean by that? Are you scared, don't want to help the Second Prince revolt, and trying to frame me?" Qin Yi said loudly, then paused and continued, "Which is true; the success rate of a rebellion is not high. Capture me and the secret letter and submit them to the Emperor, and you can preserve your life. Long Hai, you have made a good calculation, but you might carry the stigma of betrayal for your lifetime."

Long Hai looked at Qin Yi with a cold sneer, "Mr. Qin, indeed you have a good eloquence, someone who doesn't know might really think you are loyal to the Second Prince. But your little tricks can't deceive me, you are not a person of the Second Prince, but of the Third Princess, am I right?"

"It's no secret that I have dealings with the Third Princess."

Long Hai sneered, "Are you trying to say that the Second Prince sent you to infiltrate the Third Princess's side?"

Qin Yi knew that something must have gone wrong somewhere, but now he couldn't figure it out, "Long Hai, what do you mean? Just say it outright, why play riddles here."

"Alright, then I'll say it plainly, so you can be a knowing ghost," Long Hai said, picking up the secret letter, "This letter wasn't written by the Second Prince at all, it was penned by someone who imitated the Second Prince's handwriting."

Qin Yi's heart jumped, indeed there was a problem with the secret letter.

"This secret letter was handed to me personally by the Second Prince; I am confident that no one could switch it out secretly, how could it be someone imitating his handwriting?"
