I am neither beautiful nor crazy

Jiang Yu took a slight breath and walked down the steps.

At this moment, it was no different from the scene where he deliberately concealed his identity that day, but he actually felt a stronger depression.

There seemed to be a transparent wall between the two of them, but they couldn't move even if they scratched their joints.

"General Xiao..." He stood beside Xiao Xiangling, and said in a very low voice, "The emperor is asking questions."

At the same time, he raised his eyes.

Unlike anyone else, Xiao Xiangling's eyes were empty, without the eagerness in the court lady's eyes, and the filthiness in Jiang Chibin's eyes.

He has the cleanest eyes he has ever seen.

So he never understood this man.

After staring at each other for a long time, Xiao Xiangling looked away.

"Report to Your Majesty. It's true." Xiao Xiangling said in a low voice.

Jiang Yu's shoulders loosened imperceptibly.

Even he himself didn't know where the inexplicable relief came from, and it disappeared quickly before he realized it.

"Father, on the day of the banquet, my minister's wine pot was poisoned, and both my minister and the prime minister were killed. The prime minister was killed on the spot, but my minister was lucky enough to survive." Jiang Yu cupped his hands and said, "And a few days ago A fire broke out in the Prince's Hall, and the Prince was unconscious on the bed at that time, obviously it was planned for a long time, and it was deliberately done. Now that the two murderers have finally been found out, my minister is extremely distressed."

He looked sideways at Jiang Chibin, who was kneeling on the ground, "I thought that our princes have a deep brotherhood, and we should work together to assist the emperor, give the border stability, and give the people peace. But I don't want the second brother to put his personal desires above the common people in the world. Disregarding ethics and laws, not hesitating to kill each other, poisoning and setting fires."

The maid only said that the poisoning was instigated by Jiang Chibin, while Jiang Yu pushed both cases to Jiang Chibin.But the latter was sweating profusely from fright, his mind went blank, and he couldn't even think about the details in Jiang Yu's words.

"Father, I hope Father will find out!" Jiang Chibin's voice was obviously trembling and crying, "The maid was obviously planted on me by Jiang Yu's instigation. If we really colluded!"

As if he had suddenly found a breakthrough in his defense, the speed of his speech suddenly accelerated, "If there is really a collusion, why is she willing to sacrifice her life for me? And why did she turn to expose me here? This must be instigated..."

"Second brother." Jiang Yu interrupted him, with some entanglements and regrets in his tone appropriately, neither more nor less.

"Are you really planning to keep the matter of the agreement between you and this court lady from my father?"

The palace maid shook her body, and Jiang Chibin sat slumped on the spot, his face ashen.

——Jiang Yu knows.

The palace lady told Jiang Yu what the two had agreed, which he never expected.This matter is related to the lives of several people, if one person repents and reveals what happened, all will be lost.

She hurt ten thousand enemies and eight thousand to herself, and she had clearly promised to rescue her brother for her, so why did she...

A terrifying thought flashed through his mind.

Jiangyu.

It's Jiangyu!

It was no coincidence that her brother committed suicide suddenly in prison. It must be Jiang Yu who tricked the court lady into embellishing the matter, so she confessed the whole thing in such a reckless manner in Chaoshang.

But how did Jiang Yu know...

The emperor slapped the table, but almost collapsed on the dragon chair due to over-excitement.

"Say it!" He pointed at the court lady kneeling on the ground with trembling fingers, "If I tell the truth, I will spare you, otherwise I will kill your relatives!"

The maid was so frightened that she lost her voice, she paused for a while, "Your Majesty, it is true that Jiang Chibin ordered me to poison the Seventh Prince's wine and put the blame on General Xiao, just because... because Jiang Chibin promised me that if things come true, I will Spare my elder brother's life. What this servant said is true, and this servant deserves what he deserves, but I beg Your Majesty to forgive me and spare my elder brother from dying."

"Father, her elder brother is still in prison and has committed a capital crime." Jiang Yu explained softly from the side, "But the girl said that there is a grievance in this case. It is reasonable to reverse the case if there is a grievance, but if you directly Promise to release people...is a violation of the court law, how can you convince the public..."

His voice was gentle and non-aggressive, but every word and every sentence went deep into his bones, exposing and criticizing Jiang Chibin's crimes mercilessly, and he refused to let go of any wrongdoing.

Poisoning the prince, setting fire to the prince, and privately releasing the court's dead criminals are unforgivable capital crimes alone.

Jiang Chibin's lips trembled, these crimes were spit out from Jiang Yu's mouth lightly, but he had actually stepped into the opponent's trap from the very beginning without knowing it.He thinks that his calculations are safe and sound, but he doesn't want every clever trick to become a basis for conviction.

The opponent nailed himself to death.

The matter has come to this point, and there is no room for turning around.

He turned his eyes full of hatred to Jiang Yu, but only got a slight glance of disdain.

There was an undisguised coldness and malice in that gaze, but also a bit of helpless confidence.It was as if he was overturning the chess game that he had worked so hard to plan, and then he just stared at his extremely angry face with pity.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and the emperor coughed out a mouthful of blood, and fell straight onto the table.

There was chaos everywhere, busy announcing the imperial physician, the scene was once in a panic.

"Father is too tired." Jiang Yu turned to look at Jiang Chibin, "The case has not yet been finalized, and I have to trouble my second brother to sit under the cell for two days."

"Jiang Yu, you bastard!" Jiang Chibin yelled angrily amidst the chaos, "You and Xiao Xiangling secretly conspired to frame me, and the things you did in private..."

"Bitch?"

Jiang Yu suddenly laughed.

It wasn't a good-natured smile, but it didn't contain sarcasm or meanness. If it wasn't for such an extreme scene, it would have looked like an expression of extreme joy.

Xiao Xiangling cast his gaze at him.

"...Bitch." He repeated, "Did you say the same thing when you killed my mother and concubine?"

Due to excitement, his voice was slightly sharp, "Is it true that anyone who opposes you and is not recognized by you is a sin, deserves to die, and can be called a bitch."

"Jiangyu!" Xiao Xiangling suddenly said sharply.

Jiang Yu trembled, and the sound seemed to call him back. He closed his eyes, and opened them again tremblingly after a while.

"...If the second brother can't get out of prison." He said softly, "Don't forget me, a bitch."

Jiang Chibin was taken away by the soldiers, Jiang Yu was stunned and did not speak.

"Your Highness..." came the timid voice of a maid beside me, "Your Highness Seventh."

Jiang Yu's body was still a little stiff, and he turned his head after a moment's delay. He still had a calm face, with a habitual smirk at the end of his eyes.

"Miss trouble today, I will try my best to beg my father..."

"Your Highness, the little girl doesn't want to live, it's just my elder brother..."

Jiang Yu lowered his head and said slowly after a long time, "Girl, I just learned that your brother committed suicide in prison."

He thought that the maid would cry and even commit suicide impulsively, but her calm reaction was beyond his expectation.

She froze in place, moved her lips but did not make a sound, and it took a long time for two lines of clear tears to flow from her eyes.

"I should have thought of it...his stubborn temper." She slumped on the ground and muttered in a low voice.

Jiang Yu lowered his eyes, unable to see the expression in it.Otherwise, others should recognize the complex emotions in his eyes.

Not sad, but with some long-lost guilt.It seemed a little out of place in those beautifully shaped eyes.

"If the girl has other wishes, I will do my best to help." He said.

The maid seemed to think about it for a while, then smiled, "Then I just ask His Highness to send our ashes back to my hometown. My brother is dead, and I don't want to live alone."

Jiang Yu frowned slightly, "Where is your hometown?"

"Do not return to the mountain."

Do not return to the mountain.

Jiang Yu froze for a moment when he heard the name, feeling familiar, but couldn't remember where he had heard it before.

"Take a carriage to the west of the capital for three days and three nights, and the highest mountain will be there." When the maid mentioned her hometown, a look of yearning and obsession appeared on her face.

Jiang Yu's pupils constricted, and he finally figured out where the Mountain of No Return was familiar.

"Bugui Mountain is the tallest in a hundred miles, high but not cold, riding eastward for three days and nights, you will find the bustling capital."

This is a sentence that once appeared in his dream.

And this sentence was not told to him by others.

He said it.
