Compared to the more or less miserable conditions of other ministers, Prince Yu looked no different from before he was imprisoned, except that he looked a little tired and his clothes were a little dirtier.
His hands were shackled and he saw who was coming. He sneered and said, "How can His Majesty be so leisurely as to come and see his imprisoned brother?"
He said this in a sarcastic tone.
Before the emperor could say anything, Jiang Zhiyu couldn't help laughing out loud.
The smile on Prince Yu's face disappeared, and he looked at Jiang Zhiyu with a pair of cold eyes. The emperor also looked at her in confusion.
Jiang Zhiyu smiled and waved her hands, saying, "Don't worry about me, you guys continue. I just suddenly thought of something happy."
[He instilled in others the idea that the emperor was not his real brother, while he himself kept calling himself his younger brother behind his back.]
[Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. If those people outside heard this, they would definitely look very unhappy.]
emperor:"……"
Hearing her say this and imagining the expressions on those people's faces, the emperor couldn't help but chuckle.
Prince Yu: “…”
"My Royal Brother truly values her. If you didn't know, you would think..."
Before he could finish, the emperor interrupted him and asked, "What methods did you use to make them believe you?"
“…”
Prince Yu's eyes rolled slightly, his gaze wandering across his face. Unsure how much he knew, he said cautiously, "What are you talking about? I..."
"You don't understand?" The emperor interrupted, "I've heard this countless times. Since you know that I won't touch you because of my mother's last words, why bother trying to evade me like those others?"
"Besides, can we escape the past by making excuses?"
Prince Yu looked at him and had an idea.
The reason why he was so unscrupulous was, of course, because of this, but he was actually also afraid in his heart. After all, his mother was gone. Could her words protect him for a while, but could they protect him for the rest of his life?
What should I do if the emperor doesn't want to obey one day?
Matters like this, which concern life and death, must of course be kept firmly in one's own hands.
Now that the emperor had pointed it out, he swallowed his saliva and said, "Are you serious? You won't touch me?"
The smile in the emperor's eyes deepened: "Of course, you are my brother after all. We share the same blood."
【Cumin tastes even better. 】
[Why do you like to use these two words to deceive people? ]
The emperor paused. Prince Yu was unaware of the emperor's momentary discomfort and was ecstatic in his heart.
But he still had some doubts, and said, "Brother, why don't you tell me what you know first, so that I can explain it to you."
The emperor smiled and told Taifu what he had just said. Prince Yu turned pale and swallowed nervously, "You, you're not angry?"
"Since I know they are lying, why should I get angry with them?"
He spoke frankly. Prince Yu gave him a suspicious look before speaking carefully, "What I showed them wasn't fake."
Having opened the conversation, Prince Yu continued, "Ever since my father began his quest for immortality, he's become a completely different person. You know this too. He's started to expand his harem and neglected state affairs."
"No matter how clever the Queen Mother was, she couldn't prevent the poison in every meal and every pair of hands pushing us from behind, so she came up with a plan."
"Outside the palace, find some brothers of the same age as us to be our scapegoats."
"I just showed them some of these records."
Prince Yu did not recall and hastily informed the emperor of the result.
So that's how it is. The emperor took a deep breath. After his mother's death, his influence declined and most of the things in the palace were snatched away by others. He didn't expect that these letters would end up in Prince Yu's hands.
The emperor looked at Prince Yu solemnly, his eyes dark.
"Those soldiers?"
"Some are hired gangsters, some are provided by them, and my own people are outside the city."
Knowing that the emperor would not touch him, Prince Yu did not hide anything and told the truth.
The emperor compared his thoughts with Jiang Zhiyu's. He did not expect Prince Yu to be so frank, and his eyebrows raised slightly.
Knowing that Prince Yu was trying to please him, the emperor chuckled inwardly, but without asking any more questions, he turned around and was about to leave.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Prince Yu's expression went blank for a moment, and he became anxious, and the shackles on his hands rattled.
"Royal brother, Royal brother, since you are not going to touch me, please stop locking me up and let me go back."
Seeing the emperor turn his head, Prince Yu said in a dry voice, "I swear, when I leave, I will return to my fiefdom and not get in your way in the capital. From now on, without your order, I will never set foot in the capital again!"
The emperor remained silent. Prince Yu muttered softly, "Come to think of it, by doing this, I've eliminated half of the people who had ulterior motives for you. If you take it all in, I should have done a good deed..."
The emperor was almost amused by him.
He knew that his younger brother was stupid, but he never thought he could be so stupid.
"There's a saying, I don't know if you've heard it before."
Prince Yu suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Emperor, are you going to regret this?
His expression was somewhat grim as he asked, "What are you talking about? You are not joking."
The emperor could also hear that the second half of Prince Yu's words was a reminder to him. He chuckled, shook his head, and looked at Jiang Zhiyu.
Jiang Zhiyu asked tentatively, "If the ruler wishes for the death of his subjects, must they die?"
【Divine Gold! 】
【Why are you asking me? How would I know what you are going to say?】
[It's not the roundworm in your stomach.]
emperor:"……"
Never mind, the meaning is similar.
Prince Yu's face suddenly turned as pale as the bottom of a pot.
"What you said just now was all lies. You don't intend to let me go?"
Although he was certain of it, Prince Yu still asked the question, hoping to hear a completely opposite result from the emperor.
The emperor did not answer directly, but sighed quietly: "In the next life, we will be brothers."
Prince Yu: “!!!”
Hearing the murderous intent in his tone, Prince Yu's mind went blank and buzzed.
He could hardly take his eyes off the emperor, staring at him without blinking: "You're going to ignore my mother's last words?!"
"You can go down and complain to her in person," the emperor thought for a moment, then said, "or I can go down and apologize to her in person after a hundred years."
Prince Yu: “???”
【Listen to what you are saying, is it human language?】
Jiang Zhiyu's inner voice perfectly replicated Prince Yu's psychological activities, and Prince Yu gritted his teeth.
"The imperial family is truly the most ruthless. I shouldn't have trusted you from the beginning!" Prince Yu roared. "Earlier, I was wondering if I had done something wrong, but now it seems I have done nothing wrong! You truly are a traitor!"
The emperor ignored his hysterical roar and did not argue with him. He just looked at him and prepared to leave.
Prince Yu stopped roaring and laughed softly.
