Jiang Mubai said, “This matter hasn’t been investigated yet, so don’t make a scene!”

“Ha ha, the general has been away for three years, and his ass is getting more and more twisted.”

“What did you say?”

“I said, is the general going to defend the East Palace?”

“I help what’s right, not who’s related!”

“In your heart, I guess the East Palace is your relative, right? What are we, the Jiang family?” Jiang Ruobai said with a sarcasm-filled face.

Jiang Mubai was furious, “You insolent thing, what kind of attitude is this in front of your elder brother?”

“Do you even know you’re the eldest brother of the Jiang family? Ningning has been bullied and her leg broken, yet you, her own uncle, actually defended the villains? Are you worthy of the ancestors of the Jiang family?”

“A brother is like a father, and today I’m going to teach you a lesson!”

The brothers were on the verge of fighting. The Emperor hurriedly called someone to stop them.

“You two are true brothers, why do you have to be so hostile whenever you meet?” The Emperor advised.

“Does he even care about his family?” Jiang Ruobai roared.

“When I was out fighting, I entrusted the family to you, how did you take care of it? You have the audacity to speak! You should be thrown onto the battlefield with this kind of attitude!”

“You think I don’t want to go? Let’s swap if you dare, and you can mess around in Chang’an City!”

In the Imperial Court, although it seems peaceful, the situations, people’s hearts, and conspiracies one has to face are much more numerous and exhausting than on the battlefield.

The situation on the battlefield is relatively much simpler.

Although these words were said during a deliberate quarrel between the brothers, they might not necessarily be far from Jiang Ruobai’s true thoughts.

Jiang Mubai looked at him and fell silent.

This “discord” between the brothers wasn’t new in the court. Every time they met, they would inevitably argue and confront each other. The Emperor was used to it and would mediate after they argued.

“In any case, this matter must be investigated first to find out the truth.” The Emperor sighed, “I won’t lie to you, the Crown Prince’s leg might not be very good.”

The brothers exchanged silent glances.

Jiang Ruobai spoke up, “There is still one thing that I am unclear about.”

“What is it?”

“May I ask Your Majesty, is the Crown Prince still under house arrest?”

“…Yes.” The Emperor’s heart skipped a beat.

As expected, Jiang Ruobai sneered, “It’s utterly absurd that the Crown Prince, who is under house arrest, could leave the East Palace in the middle of the night and kidnap my daughter!”

“Whether it was the Crown Prince who kidnapped her or not…”

“We already caught the witness.” Jiang Ruobai interrupted the Emperor’s words.

The Emperor frowned.

Jiang Ruobai’s attitude was too aggressive for a subject.

The Emperor could have been angry.

However, the royal family was indeed in the wrong in this matter.

“What kind of witness did you catch?” the Emperor asked with a cold face.

“Bring him in.” Jiang Ruobai came prepared.

A eunuch led in a young imperial guard who dragged in a tall man.

The man had been beaten and bruised. “Kneel down!” The guard kicked the man to his knees, “Your Majesty, this is the man who injured the Princess Consort of Yu and took her away that night. He has already confessed.”

The Emperor looked at the man.

He seemed slightly familiar.

Jiang Ruobai explained, “This man is one of the loyal guards by the Crown Prince’s side. Your Majesty must have heard of him. I wouldn’t dare to falsely accuse the Crown Prince.”

Indeed, he couldn’t falsely accuse him.

Who was by the Crown Prince’s side was a matter of record.

The Emperor asked the man with a cold face, “Why did you kidnap the Princess Consort of Yu?”

The man knelt on the ground, his voice strange, “Your Majesty, I was following the orders of the Crown Prince..”
