Chapter 68 Impeachment
Jiang Yu looked at Ning Bei's calm and unfamiliar eyes and fell into deep thought.

"Master Jiang seems to think that I am another person?" Ning Bei walked down the steps and stood in front of Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu didn't answer his words. This Ning Bei and she who she knew before suddenly asked: "What is the relationship between you and Jiang Ningnan?"

"Where is Jiang Ningnan? If you are talking about the elder of Xiaogufeng, her name is Ningnan, not Jiang."

Jiang Yu chuckled, "I don't care whether her name is Jiang Ningnan or Ningnan. What is your relationship? How can there be such a coincidence in the world."

"My relationship with Ningnan, Mr. Jiang, should not be found if you want to find out, and you don't believe what I say, so why listen to me?" Ning Bei said to Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu looked at the sharp contrast between his pale face and dark eyes, and felt that this man looked a bit unreliable.

"It is recorded in the Qingcheng Sect's records that during the reign of the second leader, there was a son, Lu Cang, and two disciples, you and Ning Nan." Jiang Yu continued: "When the Qingcheng Sect was in chaos, you and Ning Nan Nan had a fight, and you lost in the end, but why did Ning Nan let you go?"

Ning Nan was not a kind-hearted person, and it was simply impossible for him to hold a grudge just because the two were brothers from the same sect.

Ning Bei looked up at an old tree in the courtyard. At some point, vines grew out from under the tree's roots and wrapped tightly around the tree, absorbing the tree's vitality and growing wildly. "Why don't you get rid of the vines around it. "

Jiang Yu was slightly stunned when he heard this.

"What do you mean?"

She followed Ning Bei's line of sight and looked to the south corner. There was a tree there. It didn't look very lively. It was low and had a thick trunk, but the branches and leaves were not lush. Instead, there were vines wrapped around the trunk, full of vitality and green leaves. , climbed up the high branches of the tree, almost over the wall.

"Look at the flowers and plants in this courtyard, only the vines took advantage of the geographical location and clung to the big tree. It gradually became a climate. Now the two of them have grown up together. When the vine dies, the tree dies."

Ning Bei was silent for a while and suddenly said: "Xiaogu Peak and Yuxia Peak are also interdependent."

Jiang Yu walked under the tree and stroked the trunk, "As far as I know, Xiaogufeng has been plotting with the Zhongli royal family to merge the Qingcheng faction? He has no intention of interdependence with your Yuxia peak."

"The merger is just a gimmick, just publicity to the outside world. The main thing is to get rid of the news of the disagreement between the north and the south and preserve the prestige of the Qingcheng faction." Ning Bei said.

Jiang Yu chuckled, this man was very capable, and he really told the inside story, even though she had already figured it out.

"Forget it, it seems I can't ask anything else from you, but I still have to ask Elder Ning to stay in the humble residence for a few more days until someone comes to pick you up. Then you can leave." Jiang Yu walked to Ning Bei and said, He raised his head and smiled kindly, ignoring the coercion in her words, as if he was sincerely inviting someone to be his guest.

Ning Bei didn't speak, but Jiang Yu knew that he had listened, so he turned around and left.

Jiang Yu's steps were brisk, and Ning Nan would definitely be here in less than three days.

At this time, she had almost forgotten the unpleasant things that happened in the morning.

Ning Bei looked at Jiang Yu's leaving figure, walked to the entrance of the courtyard and paused for a moment, but still did not go out.

He didn't know who this Lady Jiang was or why she was detaining him here waiting for Ning Nan to pick him up.

His relationship with Ning Nan has long since broken down and is no longer what it was before.

Now that Ning Bei looks back on that time, he still feels that Ning Nan suddenly changed too much.

But on the night of the duel on Xiaogufeng, he thought he was going to die in Ningnan's hands, but Ningnan let him go.

Although Ningbei was injured at the root, it was not fatal, and he often retreated for recuperation. Ningnan gave him Yuxia Peak. From then on, Xiaogu Peak and Yuxia Peak lived in peace with each other for hundreds of years.

Ning Bei often wondered why Ning Nan let him go that day. Could it be that he remembered his kindness to her in the past.

Thinking of this, Ning Bei would smile and shake his head, how could that be, Ning Nan was never a soft-hearted person.

**
After leaving Huanhuayuan, Jiang Yu was summoned to the palace.

Jiang Yu has not been summoned since he came back from Bianyun Town, nor did he go to the early court, and he has not entered the palace for a long time.

Being rushed into the palace this time probably wouldn't be a good thing, but along the way, Jiang Yu didn't even inquire about the reason for being suddenly summoned into the palace from the palace attendants leading the way.

Instead, the people around her looked at her several times, and Jiang Yu pretended not to notice.

When they arrived outside the main hall, the palace guards outside loudly announced, "Your Majesty, Lord Jiang has arrived."

"Show her in."

Jiang Yu walked into the main hall. The morning court had not yet left, and the ministers were still standing in the court hall. Jiang Yu walked through the civil and military officials and came to the forefront.

She bowed slightly and saluted, "Your Majesty."

Not kneeling is the prerogative of Tianlin Siming.

"Master Jiang, why don't you kneel down when you see your Majesty?"

Looking at Jiang Yu's reputation, it's not a familiar face, it should be a newly promoted official in recent years, looking at her standing position and the single-bird official uniform embroidered with red background and gold thread on her body, she definitely wants to be a civil servant.

Let's look at her appearance. She is not old, but she is a bit old-fashioned.

Jiang Yu couldn't guess for a moment whether this person was eager to please Zhong Liqing or was really polite.

Seeing that Jiang Yu didn't speak and just stared at her, the man's face slowly stiffened, and the people around him whispered.

"My lord, it is a ritual handed down from the founding of the People's Republic of China that you do not kneel before you when you are in heaven. Why do you want to tamper with it?"

"Although this statement is indeed true, it cannot be regarded as a ritual. Master Jiang does not kneel in court and has an arrogant attitude. Isn't it disrespectful to the emperor?" The man said with indignation, "Besides, the emperor is the emperor, you are the emperor." It's a minister, what's wrong with bowing down?"

On the steps of the high platform, Zhong Liqing stayed out of the matter, but how could Jiang Yu do as she wished.

"Your Majesty, please tell me, should I kneel down?" Jiang Yu turned around and looked up at Zhong Liqing. Their eyes met, and the smiles on their faces did not diminish, and the meaning became deeper.

Zhong Liqing stretched out his hand to signal everyone to quiet down. The hall gradually became silent, and what followed was indeed dull.

Jiang Yu stood on one side, looking at the stone pillar opposite, not allowing anyone to make eye contact.

Until the people on the high platform started talking.

"Young ministers, don't worry. Not kneeling when commanding someone is a privilege that has existed since the founding of the country. What's more, Jiang Aiqing has been working hard for state affairs for many years. This is a deserved honor."

When Jiang Yu heard the word honor, his eyelashes trembled slightly, hiding the sarcasm in his eyes. What a privilege and honor.

Everything became her gift from Zhongliqing.

"This temporary convening of Jiang Aiqing is mainly because many ministers have attended Jiang Aiqing today. For the sake of fairness, naturally I can't just listen to their one-sided words, but also listen to Aiqing's explanation." Zhong Liqing said at the end of his words. Very low, especially the word explanation.

Jiang Yu turned around and glanced behind him. All the officials lowered their heads and looked friendly. Unexpectedly, they secretly read a few books of hers.

"I wonder why all the ministers are impeaching me, Mr. Jiang?"

"Lan Xi, please tell me first, why you want to join Jiang Qing."

"It's Your Majesty." Minglanxi said loudly.

Jiang Yu turned around and realized that she was Ming Lanxi, the person he had argued with just now.

From this point of view, the person who came was not good and was prepared.
