I am neither beautiful nor crazy

"It's time to let go of what happened 17 years ago."

"This is what your elder brother has always wanted to say to you."

It wasn't until the cold air at night completely blew through the thin clothes that Jiang Yu shivered uncontrollably, and then he was slightly relieved from what he said just now.

Perhaps he had been standing here for half an hour unknowingly, and Shen Chen had long since disappeared.

He turned around and walked back mechanically, his legs were numb from the cold, and his walking posture was even a bit unnatural, just like his expression at this time.

Shocked to the point of being numb and pathetic.

—— Ruoyang was indeed wronged in his death, and the prince has always known about it.

But in 17, no one told him about this matter, and everyone felt that it was a fantasy to overthrow the case more than ten years ago.If it wasn't for him being able to see the deep fear hidden in other people's eyes, I'm afraid no one will mention this matter again. The name Ruoyang will always appear as a sinner, and he will always be oppressed and excluded.

But this is the only time that the prince told him to let go.

Xia Zhixing always said that Jiang Yu is extremely stubborn, stubborn and withdrawn, and he can die if he goes crazy.

But few people would think about what caused him to be so used to it.

Some people may be born cowardly and weak, but no one is born strong and invincible.

In the winter when he was a child, he was pushed into the ice-soaked lake by Jiang Chibin as a prank, and everyone around him was sent away, and it took almost half an hour before someone came to rescue him.After landing, he could barely speak, and others thought he slipped and fell in by himself.

The problem of extreme chills fell at that time.

Numbly, he walked to the door of the bedroom. After standing outside for a long time, he almost lost all feeling in his knees.

He pushed open the door and walked in, the heat blowing from inside made him lose half his life in an instant, and the soft candlelight in the room made him stunned for a moment.

"Gu Yuan?" When he saw the figure in the corner, he was a little dazed for a moment.

It has been seven or eight days since the last homicide occurred in his bedroom, during this period Gu Yuan seemed to have disappeared without any news.Fearing that the same group of people did it, Jiang Yu has been secretly sending people to search for it, and even asked Shen Chen just now, but found nothing.

"Where have you been these days?" Jiang Yu walked forward, only to find that the other party was kneeling on the ground with his head bowed, "What are you doing, get up and talk first."

"Your Highness..." Gu Yuan didn't raise his head, but spoke softly.

Jiang Yu had never seen Gu Yuan behave like this before, so he also squatted down.Sweeping his gaze over the opponent's body, he found that there was no obvious wound, but a little dirt was rubbed on his clothes and face, making him look a bit embarrassed.

"He was robbed?" Jiang Yu guessed casually.

The other party suddenly didn't speak, and nodded very cautiously after a long time.

"Are you hurt?"

Gu Yuan suddenly raised his head and saw Jiang Yu's casual expression, he didn't know how to deal with it.

"It's not your fault." Jiang Yu pulled him up, "Besides, I'm so scary?"

The corners of Gu Yuan's lips twitched, but he didn't speak in the end.

"By whom?"

The entanglement on Gu Yuan's face was even worse, he wanted to speak, but subconsciously glanced at Jiang Yu's expression.

"It's... Lord Xia."

Jiang Yu paused.

"Why? Are you sure?"

"I... sure." Gu Yuan raised his head, "I have been to the firewood room in Lord Xia's mansion, and I will never admit it. But... During the few days when I was tied up in the firewood room, Lord Xia never came. He didn't ask me any questions, and seemed to have forgotten about it. After that, he let me out directly."

"Get up and talk." Jiang Yu said it again, feeling a little dizzy again, so he put his hands on the table to stabilize his figure.

This time, he touched the corner of the vase.

He turned his head to look, and then remembered that Xiao Xiangling sent him a plum blossom a few days ago, and he ordered Gu Yuan to put it in a vase at will, and it has survived to this day.

Not only did it not die, but the flower buds gradually opened into bloom, and now it looks like it has fully bloomed.Even though the color of the petals is not bright enough, and the shape is a bit thin, but at this moment, the vigorous vitality is like a vigorous spring, pouring into the chest with an unstoppable momentum.

Jiang Yu's fingertips stopped above the petals and paused for a few moments.

Some kind of desire lurking in the bottom of my heart seemed to be completely exposed to the air along with the petals, and greeted his naked gaze.

"A small army of Beikou has sneaked over, and it seems that they are going to the capital." Jiang Yu said suddenly.

"I've heard it." Gu Yuan was a little stunned when he heard this, and his intuition told him that Jiang Yu would announce something very important next.

"Jiang Qi doesn't want to send a general to go. He can only see the present, but not the future." Jiang Yu paused, "But someone must go."

Gu Yuan's heart tightened, "Does Your Highness have someone in mind?"

"Yes." Jiang Yu replied without hesitation, "He is very suitable for this matter, and he has no worries. The most important point is that Jiang Qi will want him to go."

"Yes……"

"I."

long silence.

"Your Highness, is it because of General Xiao?" Gu Yuan said hoarsely.

Jiang Yu's eyes rested on the white square handkerchief pierced by a dagger in the corner of the table case, and his fingers raised on the table, as if he was thinking seriously, but also as if he was wandering away.

He finally shook his head.

"In the past 17 years, some things should be let go, and some things... should be taken up."

"The small army is swift and brutal. The road is dangerous. I will go with His Highness."

Jiang Yu turned back and smiled, "I originally thought so, but now it seems that it's better for you to stay in the capital and watch Master Xia and Jiang Qi's movements."

Gu Yuan was dumbfounded.

"I don't know how long it will take to come back." Jiang Yu suppressed his smile and looked serious, "If you can't come back..."

"Your Highness!"

Swords have no eyes on the battlefield. Anyone who is willing to raise a weapon and mount a horse must be prepared to be shrouded in horse leather.

Jiang Yu's eyes drifted to the hidden compartment under the bed, and then he remembered that the case was no longer there. After thinking for a long time, he found that there was nothing to entrust.

"Oh, that's right." Jiang Yu said suddenly, "My jade is still with Xiao Xiangling and I don't want it back. If something happens to me, you can go to him and get that jade back."

"And then." Gu Yuan found that his voice was a little dry.

"Then smash it, throw it away, it's up to you." Jiang Yu laughed.

The next day when he went to the court, someone really reported to Jiang Qi about the Northern invaders' light soldiers.

Yesterday Jiang Qi replied "we will discuss it later", but now his expression is slightly depressed, obviously he is not yet fully sure about the candidate.

"Who wants to go?"

Before Jiang Qi finished speaking, three or four generals volunteered to join the army.

"No, no, no." Jiang Qi frowned and refused, "Nowadays, the murders in the imperial city are extremely severe and extremely dangerous. As the commanders-in-chief of the army, you must not leave Beijing at this time."

Several generals retreated hesitantly, and everyone became confused.

Obviously not letting the general go, what kind of riddle is Jiang Qi playing?

"Master Xia, tell me." Jiang Qi pointed at Xia Zhixing.

Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows and turned his head slightly.

Xia Zhixing clasped his hands in response, he and Jiang Qi had exactly the same standpoint, and he returned to his original position after speaking, without looking at Jiang Yu from the beginning to the end.

The sense of disobedience in his heart was even worse, and thinking of what Gu Yuan said last night, Jiang Yu felt that the other party was particularly abnormal today.

But his face and voice are exactly the same as before, and the possibility of being impersonated can be almost ruled out.

"It seems that Master Xia and I have the same opinion, and both think that we should not send generals to fight."

This sounded extremely absurd assertion made everyone extremely puzzled. Would it be possible to send civil servants instead of military generals?

However, some courtiers who could read words and expressions understood the meaning of the two of them within a short while.

In addition to civil servants and generals, there are also princes and princes who can be dispatched.On the one hand, this ensures the safety of the imperial city, and on the other hand, it is a kind of secret cleanup.

Jiang Qi, the emperor, came out of nowhere, not knowing why, and trembling all day long.

And within the scope designated by Jiang Qi, everyone quickly thought of Jiangyu.

After all, as the prince with the least sense of presence, even if something happened, the cost would be extremely small.What's more, when he went to the northern border last time, he expressed his desire to lead the army in the court hall, and he did run there privately afterwards.

It is simply the most suitable candidate.

"Report to Your Majesty, I think..."

A minister was just about to propose to report when he heard a chuckle from the hall.

Everyone immediately turned their complicated eyes to Jiangyu, and at the same time, a chill rose up their spines.

Because the laughter just now was no different from the laughter at the palace banquet a few months ago, in just an instant, it brought everyone back to the night when the prime minister's blood was splashed on his purple clothes.

But no one dared to ask him again, "What are you laughing at?"

"I'll go." He said suddenly.

His voice was casual, as if he was just announcing an insignificant matter, but this sentence was like a pebble that stirred up thousands of waves, and everyone expressed their opinions one after another.

Jiang Qi's eyes instantly showed joy, and there were not a few people with the same expression, but a large number of people still felt that this move was inappropriate.

"Your Highness the Seventh Prince has no experience in leading troops. He grew up in the Western Regions and is not good at war and weapons. Leading troops means being responsible for the lives of all the soldiers under his command. This minister thinks this is inappropriate."

The meaning of the words is obvious, it is wrong to the soldiers, not to Jiangyu itself.

"It's inappropriate." Jiang Yu replied first, "It's inappropriate for the prince to be sent out to the Western Regions for ten years, and it's inappropriate for no one to teach swordsmanship. And doesn't this lord think that among them are civil servants and generals?" Is it most inappropriate not to go out?"

It's one thing for everyone to tacitly reveal these small selfish thoughts, but it's another thing for the parties to see through them and poke them out.Jiang Qi's face darkened obviously.

"However, the situation in the imperial city is extremely dangerous now. It is reasonable for a large number of soldiers and horses to stay here to escort them. It is also reasonable for me, as a prince, to go out in danger."

Jiang Yu gave a step down, and the atmosphere eased a little, but no one had anything to say.

"That's the way it is." Seeing that no one objected, Jiang Qi immediately made a decision, "I will hold a banquet tonight and practice it for my seventh brother."

"..."

Jiang Yu took advantage of the gap to cast his eyes on Xia Zhixing again, but the other party still did not respond.

According to Jiangyu's understanding of the other party, he should try his best to oppose it at this time.Jiang Yu had already thought of many ways to deal with Xia Zhixing's rebuttal, but now he used it on others.

When retreating, Jiang Yu deliberately slowed down his steps, and waited until Xia Zhixing walked side by side with him, and called out softly.

To Jiang Yu's surprise, the other party's reaction was a little slow, and he was stunned for a few seconds before slowly turning his head.

Immediately changing the words, "Master Xia, have you seen Gu Yuan these days?" Jiang Yu asked casually.

Xia Zhixing frowned, then shook his head.

"But you met Jiang Qi, right last night." Jiang Yu guessed.

Xia Zhixing suddenly stopped and looked at Jiangyu with a very strange and strange look.

"never seen it."
