    She asked, "Are there any injuries?"

    Du Ya covered his shoulders and said in pain, "The collarbone seems to be broken."

    "Then I'll take you to see the doctor."

    "You don't have to bother Miss, you can give me some money and I can see it myself."

    "Okay, Ping'er, give him five taels of silver."

    "Miss, this beggar is obviously a liar!" Ping'er whispered.

    "It's nothing, it's only about five taels." Qi Surong smiled indifferently.

    Ping'er pouted, lifted the curtain of the car, and handed him fifty taels of silver.

    Du Ya took the silver, showing his white teeth, bowed and said, "Thank you, Miss, you are really kind."

    "Okay, let's go!" Lu Xian shouted coldly.

    "Yes, the villain will leave immediately." Du Ya bowed and stepped back, then turned around and ran away.

    "Look, miss, he really is a liar." Ping'er said indignantly.

    Qi Surong didn't speak, and looked straight at Ping'er's sleeve, where a flat cloth bag appeared at some point.

    Back at Qi's house, Qi Surong immediately opened the cloth bag, which contained a sealed letter. There was also a note on the letter, which read: Yesterday, Lupe returned home with his family. Going down the cliff, this letter is from the package, not sealed or of any use to you.

    Lupe was killed? Qi Surong felt her heart tighten.

    The Digital Corps has been secretly monitoring the people on Qi Surong's list, that is, those who were convicted and demoted by the emperor and who may have secret letters, so it is not surprising that Du Ya was able to grab the package when Lupe was killed.

    So, could this letter be the secret letter she has been looking for?

    Qi Surong's pupils shrank, and her breathing became a little uncomfortable. She picked up the envelope and looked carefully at the seal. After a while, she took out a hairpin and carefully scratched the seal on the seal.

    The envelope contained a neatly folded piece of yellow silk. Yellow is the special color of the royal family, and ordinary people would never dare to use it. Unfolding the yellow silk, the content on it made Qi Surong's fingers tremble.

    This is not a secret letter, but a secret decree of the late emperor! The two seals at the end (one is the imperial seal and the other is the imperial seal) are impressive.

    It turned out that the first emperor intended to be located in the ninth prince, but the ninth prince was still young at that time and his position was unstable. On the contrary, the third prince was the current sage, with huge power, colluding with foreign relatives, and being aggressive. The first emperor was worried that if it was passed down to the ninth prince, he might be persecuted by the third prince, so he passed down a secret edict, hid it in the treasure, and gave it to several close ministers, asking them to secretly assist and protect the ninth prince until he grew up. When he became an adult, he made a secret decree to help him ascend to the throne.

    The late emperor's move was quite secret, but he didn't know who had leaked it. Today's sage knows the existence of the secret decree, but he doesn't know who the late emperor's intended successor is. So, thinking that he would rather kill him by mistake, he will clear the doors one by one after he ascends the throne. More than a dozen princes were killed and chased after each other, and none of the suspected ministers escaped the end of banishment.

    His heart is not cruel. There are only the fourth prince, the seventh prince, the eighth prince and the ninth prince who are still alive. Among the four princes, only the eighth prince remained in the capital because he and the emperor were born of the same mother, while the other three princes were sent to the frontiers.

    However, Qi Surong guessed that the emperor would soon call them back and find an opportunity to cut the weeds. He may have attacked them ruthlessly before, but in the wilderness, the emperor is far away, and his actions have probably failed.

    Qi Surong stared at the secret letter for a while, thinking about what to do with the letter. When she learned that the Qi family might also have the secret decree, she did not rush to get it, because retrieving the secret decree would only bring danger to the Qi family. At least until the Ninth Prince has not returned to Beijing, this secret decree has all harm and no benefit.

    What a hot potato! Although it solved her many doubts, it also brought her a lot of troubles. Impossible to destroy, inappropriate to hide.

    Now that the holder of this decree is dead, it would be great if it could be entrusted to another person. The secret decree has no owner, whoever holds it can become the help of the Ninth Prince, and everyone on her list can be considered.

    Wait, why did she have to hand over the secret edict to the person who helped the ninth prince?

    "I might be able to..." A bold plan suddenly formed in Qi Surong's mind, "Do the opposite!"

    Qi Surong touched the piece of Huang Chou, his fingers swiped across the handwriting, and finally landed on the word "nine".

    If the word "nine" is changed to "eight"...

    In the last life, half of the disasters of the Gu family were due to this Eighth Prince. He is the minion of today's sage, arrogant and domineering. Relying on holy favor, he is rampant, and his methods are vicious, leaving no room for him.

    The emperor trusts him very much, but if he learns that the late emperor intends to succeed him, how long can this trust be maintained? Everything the Eighth Prince has done for him will become suspicious, and the appearance of being loyal to him will become an illusion to hide himself.

    Qi Surong's eyes lit up and she made up her mind.

    However, it is not easy to confuse the real with the fake. First of all, the yellow thick used in this seal cannot be changed, and the seal on it is even more important.

    The only thing she can change is words. Just changing a "nine" character, it is easy to see the flaws, if she wants to change, she has to replace all the handwriting on it.

    It is hard to imitate the handwriting of the previous emperor, but the real difficulty is how to completely clean up the original handwriting.

    Qi Surong picked up the pen and copied the words on the secret letter stroke by stroke. He copied hundreds of copies in total, comparing word by word, and only stopped copying after confirming that each stroke was indistinguishable.

    Before she knew it, it was getting late, and the voice of Ping'er calling for her to eat came from outside the door.

    Qi Surong packed up these copy papers and secret letters and hid them in a secret place.

    After dinner, Qi Surong instructed: "Ping'er, ask someone to buy me some milk tomorrow."

    "Milk?" Ping'er teased, "Is Miss greedy?"

    "Yeah, Miss, I'm greedy." Qi Surong nodded her forehead, "Remember, the sooner you make an appointment, I'll remember to use it."
