I am neither beautiful nor crazy

"Where is this?" the man asked.

It was a slightly hoarse juvenile voice.

"Cave." Jiang Yu baked the clothes without looking back.

It was raining heavily outside the cave.

There was a rustle behind him, the man straightened his clothes and sat opposite the fire.

He looks like he is only fourteen or fifteen years old, but he has a youthful and mature temperament that does not match his age.He was just so quiet - sitting, staring at Jiang Yu, his undisguised eyes seemed to see through Jiang Yu, but he didn't say a word.

"Do you remember what happened just now?" Jiang Yu asked.

The boy nodded.

"Do you know who I am?"

The young man shook his head.

"Just trust me like that? Are you not afraid that I'm a bad person?" Jiang Yu laughed.

The boy continued to stare at Jiang Yu, and then asked again, "Where is this?"

"Not returning to the mountain." Jiang Yu flipped the firewood, "Where do you live? Who are your parents? Do you remember?"

"No."

"..."

Jiang Yu didn't bother with what he said "no" instead of "don't remember", but continued to explain, "Bugui mountain is the highest in a hundred miles, high but not cold, riding eastward for three days and nights, that's where The lively capital. There are many interesting and delicious things in the capital. If your home is in the east, I can take you to see it by the way."

The young man remained silent, his eyes fixed on the flames.The face under the dim light was clean and handsome, and from the tall and straight bones, one could already foresee the handsome appearance in adulthood.

"I know you're not a bad person." The boy said suddenly.

"Ok?"

"It was you who saved me before." He said seriously, "And you are very good-looking."

Jiang Yu was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly.

"Why is Your Highness frowning in his sleep?" Xia Zhixing poured a cup of tea, "Now that the case of poisoning and arson has been settled, and Jiang Chibin is suffering in prison, what else do you have to worry about?"

Jiang Yu moved slightly and opened his eyes, only to realize that he had accidentally leaned on the soft cushion and fell asleep.

"I've been having some strange dreams recently." He recalled the caves and flames in his dreams, and said slowly.

"It's because your temple is too hot." Xia Zhixing pointed to the three stoves on the side.

Jiang Yu pulled up the fur coat on his body, and stretched his browbones relaxedly, "But it's still too cold."

Xia Zhixing saw that he was deliberately changing the subject, and continued, "It's just that there are still doubts about the poisoning case. The poison in your wine cup was instigated by the Second Highness. He has already pleaded guilty to this point, but the question is why the prime minister was poisoned. ?”

He paused, "No poison was found in the prime minister's food and drink, but a very small, purplish-black wound was found on the forearm of his corpse. It is initially judged to be a needle-puncture mark."

"Master Xia, why did you tell me the details of these cases?" Jiang Yu leaned on the cushion extremely relaxed, his voice still a little sleepy.

"The toxicity is extremely strong, and it will be poisonous in a short time, so the needle must have been inserted at the banquet. And there were very few people who had physical contact with the prime minister during the banquet. I recalled it carefully."

Jiang Yu raised his eyes, his slightly lighter pupils contained no emotion.

Xia Zhixing tapped Jiang Yu's shoulder, "You asked the prime minister about the material of the clothes at the banquet, and at the same time you ran your left hand over it."

He gestured at the movement at that time, leaned forward, and lowered his voice, "And the position you swiped at that time was probably the position where the needle on the prime minister's forearm was pierced."

"...Well." Jiang Yu stretched out his finger and turned the teacup, "It seems so."

"Jiang Yu, tell me the truth." Xia Zhixing paused, "Did you do it?"

"Of course not." Jiang Yu replied immediately, even with some carelessness in his voice, "If I had the ability, I wouldn't have drunk the poisoned wine that my second brother gave me at the palace banquet. It has long been impossible to sit here peacefully and talk to Master Xia."

Xia Zhixing frowned slightly, apparently suspicious of Jiang Yu's poisoning, but Jiang Yu interrupted.

"Lord Xia, no matter what, you can't speculate without evidence. Your lord can't just blame me, a weak and deceitful person, as soon as you encounter a case." Jiang Yu said with a smile.

Xia Zhixing obviously wanted to refute something, but Jiang Yu stood up straight and picked up a dozen scrolls from under the bed.

"We might as well start with the court lady. Now that court lady is afraid of her crime, she asks the emperor to send the ashes of the two of them back to her hometown before she dies. The emperor thought that she had revealed the truth and made meritorious deeds, so he asked a courtier to send the ashes to her as a gift." Back. Guess, who took the initiative to take this drudgery in the end?"

Xia Zhixing shook his head.

"Xiao Xiangling." Jiang Yu said, spreading out a dozen scrolls on the table.

Xia Zhixing raised his eyes and almost coughed up a mouthful of blood, "Ahem... you, what are these things?"

Those scrolls are occasionally scattered, just glance at them casually, and the explicit movements of the characters inside will appear vividly on the paper.

Jiang Yu just smiled and closed the open book, "These are all miscellaneous books that Gu Yuan bought from folk neighbors. Although most of the contents are unsightly, there are still some interesting things. Master Xia has heard of them. Not returning to the mountain?"

As he spoke, he flipped a book and moved his fingertips slightly.

"I only know that it is the hometown of the court lady."

Jiang Yu shook his head slightly, "In fact, there are records of folk affairs in this place, but the accuracy cannot be guaranteed."

He said and pointed out a place on the scroll to Xia Zhixing.

I saw a sentence written on it

Do not return to the mountain, the highest place is not cold, the qi is in harmony with nature.

300 years ago, a hundred ghosts appeared, and the warlocks burned them with fire, but only one case was missed.

It was saved by the real dragon.
