Jing Muhao avoided his gaze guiltily.

"I do have some private dealings with Prince Qi, and I got the news that Fusang has found evidence against me. So when I saw that Fusang's Crown Princess was Chu Jian, I was afraid that they would expose the matter. Who knows how they would exaggerate and frame me? I am not right, and I can't explain myself. I am even more afraid that you will believe Chu Jian and kill me with a knife. If I don't run away, I will lose my head!"

"So you don't admit to chasing after Chu Jian either?"

"Xiao Jiu, why am I chasing her? I, I, I... Alas!" Jing Muhao sighed, "Two years ago, after you were buried, Prince Qi came to me and said he could help me ascend the throne. He said he had someone poison you, and if I didn't agree, he would frame me.

Firstly, I was afraid that he would really do that, and secondly, I really wanted to be the emperor, so I agreed without thinking and reached an alliance with him to help each other get the throne. But you were reborn not long after, and I was so scared that I wanted to regret it, how could King Qi let me!

He had already placed a large number of people in Lingyin, and collected a lot of money and sent it to my house. I had no choice but to accept it or not. He threatened me that everything was done in my name, and if I regretted it, he would report it.

Xiaojiu, you know that I am a timid brother, so I dare not resist him and can only let him do whatever he wants. My only solution is to be a dandy and do nothing, so that no matter what Prince Qi does, my father will never let me sit on the throne.

But I didn't expect that Prince Qi would take revenge on me when he saw that I was so uncooperative. The autumn hunting animal madness incident was something they did to warn me. I didn't expect that it would lead to you and my father investigating Nanbang. Prince Qi failed to steal the chicken and got himself into trouble. I also cut off contact with him.

His spies couldn't contact me, so they sent Wang Qifeng to find me and go to Xixia to invite me to meet him. I didn't expect that Xiaoqi, who was checking Chujian, ran into Wang Qifeng before me and was killed by Wang Qifeng, and Chujian was also forced off the cliff by him.

He threatened me that if I didn't continue to join forces with King Qi, all of this would be blamed on me. I definitely couldn't agree to that and fought him to the death. Xiaojiu, you saw the injuries I suffered at that time, and I have sincerely repented since then.

Xiaojiu, you know what happened next. My royal brother was a little timid and cowardly, but it is also true that he fought desperately and was almost shot to death on the battlefield. It was just that my royal brother was willing but unable to do anything.

Moreover, Liu Yong actually sneaked into Xucheng. He was Prince Qi's man, and he colluded with Arsalan to sell out military intelligence. These are the results of my investigation during this period. I have evidence and also arrested the key figure, Liu Yuan, the leader of Prince Qi's private soldiers in Shanglou, who is Liu Yong's younger brother.

It's just that his men kidnapped the Emperor of Nanbang in an attempt to threaten Fuso. Although I only have so few people to chase him, it is definitely not enough, so I asked Tuoya to come to Tianshan with me."

Jing Muyang gritted his teeth and looked gloomy. This guy refuses to repent!

But Jing Muhao did things too cleanly and explained them in an orderly manner. The Seventh Prince did die at the hands of the Nanbang people, and now he has admitted to having contacts with Prince Qi. He has no evidence of what Chu Jian did. Liu Yong had admitted to all the crimes and was dead, so there was no way to question him.

Toya, who didn't know the details, felt as if what Jing Muhao said was true. She was timid and cowardly, and he wouldn't dare to do it, but...

"Jing Muhao, even if what you said is true, but the first person you saw was a saint, and she said you flirted with her and chased her, Bai Lishang would only believe her and not you. Now that you have come to Tianshan, aren't you afraid that Bai Lishang will chop you down with a knife?"

"Your Majesty, how could I not be afraid? That's why I seek your protection. And I believe Xiao Jiu will not be indiscriminate and really disregard the brotherhood.

Furthermore, as the Queen said, no matter how I defend myself, Bai Lishang will not let me go. There will always be a duel between him and me. If my death is inevitable, I just hope he will not vent his anger on Ling Yin and let the people of the world go."

Even Toya couldn't stand Jing Muhao's remarks.

"Hmph! You don't have to act so majestic. A few days ago, you confessed to me that you had led people to Tianshan Mountain more than two years ago. You also said that the Miluo Valley was filled with blood that day.

Jing Muhao, I didn't even ask you when exactly you went to Tianshan. Was it before or after the Saint Lord went into seclusion? And why did you go to Tianshan? Could it be that you were the one who attacked Tianshan that year? Otherwise, how would you know so much about it!"

Jing Muhao's face was very dark. Why was Toya talking nonsense everywhere?

It was true that he sent people to attack Tianshan Mountain and snatch the saint girl, but he himself did not go up to Tianshan Mountain for fear of being exposed. The blood-red light was relayed by his subordinates, and as for the claim that the saint girl was a demon, it was hard to tell whether it was true or not.

His men said that they found the saint lying on a cold bed in the holy cave. They captured her and took her down the mountain. When they passed the Honey Locust Valley, suddenly there was a burst of blood. A gust of wind blew up and countless honey locust petals fell, surrounding the saint. It took almost an incense stick of time for the wind to disperse.

This scene made people afraid to approach. Then, the saint girl, who obviously had no power at all, seemed to have changed into a different person and attacked everyone and ran away. However, she did not run far and was caught just after leaving Tianshan Mountain.

Later, when the saint heard that they were going to Lingyin Country, she actually cooperated for a while until Bai Lishang caught up with her. The saint took the opportunity to escape again and disappeared afterwards.

I thought the saint would return to Tianshan, but I didn't expect that she would appear in Jing Muyang's coffin and become a princess buried with him.

Although this is a later story, I still can't figure out why she didn't return to Tianshan, why she hid from Bai Lishang's pursuit, and judging from the timeline, she almost went straight to Lingyin Capital.

Jing Muhao took a long time to respond.

"Your Majesty, I have never been to Tianshan, but I admit that I have been keeping an eye on it and have spies at the foot of it. When Tianshan was attacked more than two years ago, there was chaos both on and off the mountain. Naturally, there were one or two frightened witnesses, and I learned about this from them."

"You can say whatever you want, but who would believe you if you're such a liar?"

The Tianshan Holy Land has always been closely connected with the Northern Frontier, and Toya has really spared no effort in protecting Tianshan. But first meeting a saint is different from first meeting Princess Zhan.

Oh, children are children. Their thoughts are not logical, and it really gives Jing Muhao a headache when they get serious.

"Your Majesty, think about it, if I had been to Tianshan, how could I not have been to the Tianshan Holy Cave and brought you here? Do you know what the Tianshan Holy Cave is like?"

"I know. I heard that the secret manual of Tianshan magic is engraved on the wall of the Tianshan Holy Cave, and outsiders are forbidden to trespass." Toya knew a lot, although it was all fake and she didn't know who told her.

Jing Muhao immediately took over the conversation, "Since such an important place must be guarded no matter what happens, how could I fall into a trap? This means that I have never been to Tianshan."

"Who knows if you calculated that there was no one there." Tuoya was not convinced, "Could it be that you went to Tianshan just because you knew Mu Yang was there?"

"You! Xiaojiu... Oh, forget it, just say it is." Jing Muhao was also helpless. He didn't want to meet Jing Muyang.
