“Because he’s not responsible for anything,” Xue Yan continued, “So, no matter who sends a letter to him, he won’t register it or give any receipt. He won’t even read it. You just need to put the letter and money down. The recipient’s residence and name should be clearly written on the envelope. When they send a letter, they will only read the address for the envelope.”

He paused for a moment before continuing, “All the letters to the Imperial Capital are placed in a large wooden box. On the way, the letters from the other state capitals that were sent to the Imperial Capital were also placed in that large box. They will be sent to the Imperial Capital as well. If we let his family send the letters, even if they investigate, there will be too many letters and his family won’t even know where this letter will come from. It’ll be like-”

“Looking for a needle in a haystack?” Jiang Yue finally spoke.

“I guess so.” Xue Yan nodded with a smile.

Jiang Yue felt that it was beneficial to know a lot of things. With his IQ he could easily use all this to achieve his goal.

“Then you write it, I’ll grind it.” Jiang Yue said. Then, she took the thing from his hand and started to grind the ink. The ink had already been ground almost to perfection after adding some water. If she ground it again, it would only make the ink more delicate.

“Okay.” Xue Yan responded, and then flattened the slightly uneven paper. Then, he took a brush from the brush rack, dipped it in ink, and began to write.

He didn’t write much and went straight to the point.

The Emperor will fall into a coma on the 15th of April next year and will not wake up until the 15th of June when he passes away in the Dragon Hall.

Every word in this sentence was as sharp as a steel knife. Jiang Yue raised her eyebrows and said, “Whose handwriting is this?”

“The defender general of the state. He is the Empress’s father, and he has already passed away.” Xue Yan said. In his previous life, he was fortunate enough to see the general’s writing in the Prime Minister’s mansion and knew his handwriting.

Jiang Yue nodded. With this handwriting, the Empress would rather believe it than now.

However, how was he able to write exactly the same words as others? Was it because he was too good at painting that he could do this, or was he also gifted in these areas?

Xue Yan continued, “The Empress is a descendant of a family of generals. She once disguised herself as a man and went to the battlefield with the defender general of the state. She is extremely wise. If she knows the emperor’s future fate, she will definitely return to the palace to prevent the Emperor from having such a fate in the future.”

Jiang Yue nodded again. It made sense.

“How did she suddenly die in her previous life? It was actually not long after Emperor Hao’s death. She didn’t die suddenly, but she was killed, right? Or is it the same person who caused Emperor Hao’s death?”

Xue Yan said, “It’s possible. It could have been the same person.”

In his past life, he still wasn’t a scholar nor an official at that time. He was still in the academy studying. He didn’t really know how the Emperor and the Empress died and only felt that it was strange. Later, he became an official and wanted to investigate this matter, but it had been so long since the incident and he couldn’t investigate it clearly when he rose in rank.

Xue Yan placed the letter to the side and waited for the ink to dry. Then, he took a blank envelope from the side and wrote the words Heavenly Spirit Temple and Yunzi.

It was also in the handwriting of the defender-general of the state.

Jiang Yue read the words on the envelope, the name was obviously an alias. “Are you sure you should put this name?”

“Yes.” Xue Yan nodded. “When I was in the capital city, I went to the Heavenly

Spirit Temple to play chess. They told me this..”
