Jiang Ji didn't speak; he was unwilling to answer.
"Why don't you ask Yu Jiangyan, Prince Yuncheng?" Jiang Ji suggested.
Yu Jiangyan? Luo Yuncheng frowned slightly, then seemed to think of something else.
"Which child are you?" Luo Yuncheng quickly realized.
“This has nothing to do with the Crown Prince,” Jiang Ji replied.
“You are Miao Yin’s person,” Luo Yuncheng continued.
“Never,” Jiang Ji told him.
Luo Yuncheng was clearly shocked by this sentence, and he suddenly lost control: "But you have always been with us as Miao Yin's people..." Luo Yuncheng stopped mid-sentence and suddenly woke up.
"Did you do this on purpose from beginning to end? Did you impersonate this persona and force us to this point?" Luo Yuncheng asked him.
"I was just following orders and being entrusted with a task. I am not a member of the Miao Yin family, but I grew up in the Miao Yin Pavilion since I was a child," Jiang Ji said, making a vague statement.
Luo Yuncheng wanted to ask more questions, but Yu Jingchen didn't give him the chance.
"Take him away!" Yu Jingchen ordered, and Luo Yuncheng was then taken away. Yu Jingchen looked at Jiang Ji and asked, "You also knew about Nan Su's death?"
"Yes," Jiang Ji answered directly.
"Suicide?" Yu Jingchen asked again.
"Yes," Jiang Ji replied as always.
"So... you were there?" Yu Jingchen's tone gradually became dangerous.
"Yes," Jiang Ji replied this time, but he clearly lacked the confidence he had shown before.
"Are you capable of stopping it?" Yu Jingchen's question carried a sense of pressure.
"...Yes," Jiang Ji answered several times in a row, but before he could finish speaking, Yu Jingchen slapped him, causing Jiang Ji to crash into a pillar behind him and spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Then why didn't you stop it?!" Yu Jingchen questioned.
"...This is the general's own decision, and this servant has no right to interfere." Jiang Ji dared not raise his head.
"Jiang Ji, you really are a capable person. You managed to hide for so long and even dared to cause so much trouble right under my nose." Yu Jingchen was almost laughing in anger.
"How can you face Yun'er? How can you face the Empress Dowager?" Yu Jingchen has learned quite a lot these days... especially about the Empress Dowager.
“The Empress Dowager…she knew about it. General Nan went to the palace to see the Empress Dowager before for this matter,” Jiang Ji told Yu Jingchen.
"So... what exactly is the deal between you two?" Yu Jingchen asked.
“The general did all this… all for Her Majesty the Empress. He fulfilled my wish and helped me rise to a high position in exchange for my service to Her Majesty in the future… Your Majesty, the general knows that you dote on Her Majesty the Empress, but the general is worried. He knows that his time is running out, so he wants to find a guarantee for Her Majesty,” Jiang Ji said.
Yu Jingchen fell silent. In Nan Su's heart, he had never truly trusted him.
"Why you?" Yu Jingchen asked again.
“...This servant has met the general before. The so-called Miao Yin person that the general saved before was this servant... At that time, Princess Yu sent people everywhere to look for this servant. By chance, this servant was fortunate enough to be saved by the general. However, at that time, this servant was still young. Because this servant was alone and had no one to rely on, the general later sent me to Miao Yin Pavilion.” Jiang Ji answered truthfully.
"He took you to Miaoyinge?" Yu Jingchen didn't expect that Nan Su and Miaoyinge were connected.
“Yes… the master of Miaoyin Pavilion is actually Lord Gu Yin…” Jiang Ji replied.
