Song Wei, along with Jinbao, received Wen Wan's pigeon post on the way to the Capital, which said Prince Cheng had only been stripped of his title and exiled to guard the Imperial Mausoleum in the West Mountain.
Years of marriage allowed Song Wei to see the hatred and resentment between his wife's lines.
Although losing the title was the greatest punishment for the Imperial Family, thinking of the child who was just a month old, Song Wei's hand clutching the missive gradually tightened, his dark eyes deep and unreadable.
That night, while lodging at the inn, after replying to Wen Wan, Song Wei wrote another letter, spending a hefty sum to have it galloped to the Duke Lu Mansion in the Capital.
The letter was received by Lu Pingzhou.
Song Wei did not hide his identity in the letter; he directly told Lu Pingzhou that it was he who incited the citizens to block Prince Cheng's carriage on Changshun Street, intending to expose Prince Cheng.
