Chapter 75 – Disputing Over the Bed
Tu Yidao had been afflicted with his illness for a long time. Therefore, it would not be strange that he would feel moved and tempted to do something unusual when a hope for curing it suddenly appeared.
But Ji Yunhuang had not thought that Tu Yidao had such guts, actually daring to just let someone go like that…
Ji Yunhuang seemed to have thought of something and asked Ning Xuemo, “When you were in the Ministry of Justice’s Prison, did you sign the confession?”
Ning Xuemo shook her head. “I didn’t kill the person, so of course I wouldn’t!”
Ji Yunhuang thought of the confession in the hands of Lord Lu and his heart moved. “Xuemo, write a few words for me to see.”
Since Ning Xuemo was a secret service agent in her previous world, she naturally had the ability to imitate handwritings. When she wrote out a few words, she imitated the handwriting of this body’s previous owner.
Ji Yunhuang picked it up and examined it. He was an expert in calligraphy. Hence, he compared Ning Xuemo’s handwriting with the handwriting on the confession which he had memorised. His lips slightly lifted; he understood now.
The two handwritings might seem similar, but the minute differences could not escape his experienced eyes. That signature on the confession was fake!
It seems like Tu Yidao had received an order to kill, so he had to force out a confession one way or another before silencing her.
However Tu Yidao dared to plot and defy the order by using the “the plum tree withers in place of the peach tree” trick and released Ning Xuemo.
He had found someone to imitate Ning Xuemo’s handwriting to sign the confession and write the suicide letter…
If Ning Xuemo had not come looking for him, then even he would have been fooled!
But was Tu Yidao the type of person to just let someone out in secret?
With his character, Tu Yidao would not have allowed this type of potential catastrophe remain untouched. Perhaps there were other things he, the crown prince, was not aware of…
