"oh?"
Today's court was truly exciting. The emperor was no longer sleepy and couldn't help but say to Jiang Li, "Tell me now."
"This matter has to start from the night when the incident happened in the General's Mansion more than ten years ago."
After the incident at the General's Mansion, the royal family had been sending people to investigate the matter, but there were too few clues and ultimately no results were found.
Later, after Gu Qingchen started to remember things, he learned that the marriage that his father had arranged for him, that beautiful little girl whom he had only seen once, had actually been kidnapped by bad guys. Therefore, after he had his own secret guards, he had been sending people to track down the truth of that year and never gave up.
Everyone assumed that the person who had taken action back then was seeking revenge for Japan, so they would naturally track him down in the direction of Japan. However, Gu Qingchen kept thinking that the guards at the General's Mansion had always been among the best in the capital.
In order to successfully launch a sneak attack, the person who did it must be a well-known top master in the martial arts world, or there must have been a traitor in the general's mansion.
Following these two clues, Gu Qingchen indeed found the housekeeper who disappeared with Jiang Li before the New Year.
However, the man was blind and his voice was hoarse due to the poison. When he was found, he was living by begging in an unknown small village.
"My Lord, it's your turn."

"What?"
The ones who were surprised this time were Jiang Yao and his friends.
They have been fighting wars again and again over the years just to prove to other countries that their General's Mansion is never to be trifled with!
But now, they are told that it was not the Japanese who did that thing?
"When I found that housekeeper, I wasn't completely sure it was him, so I just arranged for someone to look after him." Gu Qingchen looked at Jiang Yao. "It wasn't until a few days ago, after the princess cured him, that we learned what had happened."
"Come here, bring the person up."
Hearing this, everyone looked back as if they had noticed something.
In the silence, an old man with half of his face destroyed was limped to the front of the hall.
The old man had high cheekbones, gray hair at the temples, and a dull complexion. It wasn't until he saw Jiang Yao that he slumped to his knees and let out a shrill, crow-like cry, "Master!"
