On the folding fan was a flying Vermillion Bird. When the folding fan gently flapped, it attracted people’s gazes to the red Vermillion Bird. The flying Vermillion Bird was like fire and blood, so bright that it was almost dazzling. What did he mean?! Chu You’s pupils moved slightly.

Chu Yi turned around and looked at the Emperor faintly. “Father, 1 recently obtained a new dossier. It’s about the Yangzhou case from nine years ago.” “This dossier came from the State of Yue. It was given to me by the current Heavenly Palace Lord, Xia Houqing.”

“Oh?” The Emperor’s knocking finger stopped.

Xia Houqing? Chu You raised his thick black eyebrows slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled imperceptibly. He sized up Chu Yi. “Could it be that you’re very familiar with Xia Houqing?”

Chu Yi smiled like a spring breeze and looked at Chu You calmly. “When I was in the State of Yue, I had a few encounters with Lord Xia.”

“Back then, it was the people of the State of Yue who claimed that Gu Ce opened the city gate to subdue the enemy. This case still has to be investigated starting from the State of Yue.” The folding fan in his hand stopped, and he asked Chu You, “Isn’t that so?”

The Vermillion Bird drawn on the white folding fan raised its sharp beak and seemed to be letting out a long cry, but also seemed to be sneering disdainfully.

“…” The corners of Chu You’s eyes twitched. He felt that Chu Yi was really despicable.

Regarding Chu Yi’s question, Chu You avoided answering and said in a sincere tone, “Nephew, you’ve only seen Lord Xia in the State of Yue and have only met him a few times. As the saying goes, you can’t judge a book by its cover. No one knows if this dossier is real or fake.”

“It can’t be whatever he says, right?”

Chu You’s expression froze without any change. His tone was cold and arrogant.

As he spoke, the wind outside became stronger, blowing the branches noisily. The messy willow catkins and petals danced with the wind, and occasionally, a few willow catkins floated into the house through the window.

Chu Yi casually brushed away a small cl.u.s.ter of willow catkins floating on his shoulder and said calmly as before, “Father, Xia Houqing has already sent someone to send the dossier over from the capital of the State of Yue at full speed.”

“As for the truth of what happened back then, 1 believe the truth will be revealed soon.”

He was speaking to the Emperor, but his gaze looked at Chu You on the other side. His dark, phoenix eyes were as clear as water, and the red tear mole at the corner of his eye was bright.

“In Lord Xia’s letter, Seventh Imperial Uncle contributed a lot to the battle between the two countries back then.”

He didn’t say how Kang w.a.n.g “contributed”. At first glance, it seemed to be praising that Kang w.a.n.g had also helped defend the city in Tailing City back then.

“…” Chu You’s handsome face tensed up, and the pinky of his hand twitched slightly.

He glanced at Chu Yi with the corners of his eyes and thought coldly: He’s really lying through his teeth! If Baili Yin didn’t lie to him, then there’s a high chance that Xia Houqing has been in the capital recently.

And Baili Yin had no reason to lie to him about this. After all, where Xia Houqing was concerned, the power struggle in the State of Yue’s royal court had nothing to do with his State of Jin.

Chu You’s twitching little finger relaxed again. With a calm expression, he said to the emperor, “Brother, Xia Houqing is ruthless and murderous. Not only did he commit the atrocity of killing ten races, but he also killed the censor on the spot in the Heavenly Hall. It’s heinous.”

“I think such a ferocious person can’t be trusted!”

“Recently, the Sage of the State of Yue has been seriously ill, and the country is filled with worries. Xia Houqing is sinister and cunning. He must have deliberately provoked internal strife in our country. Firstly, he wants to avoid external trouble for the State of Yue, and secondly, he wants to sit back and reap the benefits.”

Chu You’s words were righteous and impa.s.sioned, making it impossible to find any fault with him.

Gu Yanfei had a sweet candied crabapple in her mouth and thought to herself: He’s so good at sophistry. Its a pity that he didn’t go to the capital to be a censor.

Chu Yi chuckled.

“Internal strife?” Chu Yi raised his eyebrows and smiled warmly, looking confused. “Why does Seventh Imperial Uncle think that Lord Xia wants to sow discord in our State of Jin?”

“Or…”

“Seventh Imperial Uncle already knows what’s written in the dossier sent by Lord Xia?”

The smile in Chu Yi’s eyes deepened, but the meaning in his words was extremely sharp. He was just short of directly questioning what exactly Kang w.a.n.g was feeling guilty about!

“…” Chu You realized that he had misspoken. The muscles on his cheek twitched, and his face was as stiff as cold iron.

The room was silent. One could only hear the Emperor slowly covering the teacup with tea and casually stirring it. The subtle sound of porcelain colliding made the surroundings look even quieter..
