As Su Juan posed this question, the private room immediately fell silent.
The Pei Family, a century-old Marshal Mansion, had been a major contributor to the Empress's consolidation of the realm. With such a promising future, how could they possibly aid the Second Prince in rebellion?
No one believed that Pei Qian would commit treason, but those who spoke on his behalf were implicated back then, either dying or being dismissed from office. Even though everyone knew there was a miscarriage of justice, no one dared to mention it.
Xie Xun broke the silence, "I once heard the old man of my house say that back in the day, Prince Jing frequently interacted with Marshal Pei and was especially close friends with Shen Hesheng despite their age difference."
Su Juan had a moment of realization, "So, is Prince Han trying to exploit Shen Ruhui to bring up the old Pei Family matters and stir up trouble?"
