Chapter 479 Witness
Two days later, Hu En was found dead in the side hall.
When he heard the news, Chi Yun and the eldest princess visited the emperor.
Liu Sisi didn't hold the spoon in her hand for a while, and fell into the medicine bowl, making a sharp collision sound.
"Die? How could he die?" The eldest princess was furious, "So many people were watching, but they couldn't watch it?"
Aunt Mei, who came to report the message, said: "I heard that the tea was poisoned. The guards found something wrong. Before he could call the imperial physician, he died of poisoning."
"Who did it? Did you find it out?"
Aunt Mei hesitated for a moment and said, "Before Hu En died, he wrote a word on the ground..."
"What word?"
"Kang..."
Prince Kang’s Kang? The eldest princess couldn’t sit still: “I will go and have a look now!”
Liu Sisi was stunned for a while, and looked up and found Chi Yun was still there. She couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going?"
Chi Yun said lightly: "Everyone is dead, what else is there to look good about?"
Liu Sisi was silent for a while and handed the medicine bowl to the eunuch, and ordered: "It's already cold, go and fry a new bowl."
"yes."
The eunuch retreated, and the only two of them were left.
Liu Sisi asked slowly: "Miss Chi, can't Your Majesty be cured?"
Chi Yun is already married. In front of others, she has changed her name to Mrs. Lou. Now she suddenly calls out her old name, as if she has returned to the old days.
She was just a singer in Changlechi, laughing in front of all kinds of men, and bowing her head when she saw people.
At that time, she never thought that she could enter the palace to serve the most noble man in the world. When others saw him, they would respectfully call Concubine Jie.
But is the end of a year?
Chi Yun looked up at her and asked without answering, "Does the Empress regret it?"
Liu Sisi smiled faintly: "A person like me has always been like duckweed, and he can count wherever he floats. If he has not entered the palace, he may have been ruined at any time. This year's pampering life seems to have been picked up."
Chi Yun praised: "With the Empress, there is nothing to be afraid of in this world."
Liu Sisi saw something in her eyes, smiled, picked up a handkerchief to wipe the emperor's sweat.
...
"King, what do you have to say?"
King Kang sneered: "He said it was me, I am me? The life of a slave is just used to frame me."
The eldest princess was furious and raised her hand to slam the table: "In your eyes, what is not a false accusation? You don't admit the burial of medicine in Chengyuan Palace, and you don't admit the assassination of the emperor. Now Hu En's death cannot tolerate you not admit it!"
Then he asked Sansi: "Is today's affairs enough to be convicted?"
The Minister of Justice hesitated for a moment and replied: "There is both the source of poison and the deceased's identification. It can be said that the evidence of the crime is conclusive."
Prince Kang was anxious and shouted: "Hu En is an important witness. If we kill him, we just don't tell you. If he is really from my Prince Kang's mansion, wouldn't he just grit his teeth and refuse to admit it? There is no need to do anything. This is a crime that he wants to inflict!"
Lou Yan said coldly: "In the eyes of the prince, as long as he does not admit it, all the evidence will not exist, right? OK, then let's provide evidence again."
He turned to face the Queen Mother: "Empress, please bring the assassin to the court."
The Queen Mother asked: "Chang Xiang?"
Chang Yong nodded: "Take a prisoner."
Jiang Shi was brought up. His injuries were treated simply and he was extremely depressed.
He did not kneel down, but no one would care at this time.
Lou Yan walked up to him and looked down at him: "Jiang Shi'an."
Jiang Shi didn't respond.
Lou Yan continued: "I know that your daughter is in the hands of Prince Kang, so you have to listen to him. But have you ever thought that if you die, your daughter will die as well!"
Jiang Shi's eyes moved and he finally raised his head.
Lou Yan glanced at Prince Kang: "The existence of your daughter is his stain. Do you think he will allow your daughter to live?"
Jiang Shi trembled, his eyes mixed with sweat and blood, almost bleeding and tears, which made people move.
This person is just a military man. The high-ranking officials and nobles present will not take him seriously. But everyone has feelings. Who can be ignorant of this earnest fatherly love?
Prince Kang heard it badly and shouted, "Lu Si, what are you talking about? That little bitch is living well now. When will I kill her?"
Lou Yan said coldly: "You call her little bitch, what else can you do?"
"you……"
Lou Yan ignored him and said to Jiang Shi: "Did you hear it? Now is your only chance, Empress Dowager, Empress, Princess, and Prime Minister of the Political Affairs Hall, and the officials of the Sansi Hall. All the people in this world who can help you get rid of the threat of Prince Kang's Mansion are here. As long as the Empress Dowager speaks and pardons your daughter, she can save her life. What are you waiting for?"
The more he heard him, the more he was, the more he was nervous. He always felt that something was wrong and tried to stop him: "Lou Si, you bewitched..."
"Shut up!" The eldest princess stopped him and said to Jiang Shi, "You said that as long as you come in every move, I can promise to protect your daughter's life!"
After Jiang Shi got this sentence, he finally whimpered and whined: "Yes, it was him who instructed me. He wanted me to kill the emperor, otherwise he would kill my daughter."
Prince Kang was shocked and angry: "You talk nonsense! That day you framed Xiao Da and later escaped without a trace. This prince didn't know where you were, how to instruct you?!"
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered and pointed at Lou Yan: "You designed the killing of Xiao Da, Jiang Shi'an must be your person! From beginning to end, it was your conspiracy!"
Lou Yan responded disdainfully: "The prince is afraid he is crazy. In Xiao Da's case, the official acted according to the order, so how could he know who Jiang Shi'an is?"
He continued to ask Jiang Shi: "What's wrong with him saying you framed Xiao Da?"
Jiang Shi was so sad and angry: "What does this have to do with me? It is obvious that he wanted to kill Xiao Da himself, and deliberately took advantage of this incident."
Prince Kang still wanted to speak, but Lou Yan asked for him first: "This matter doesn't make sense, why did he kill Xiao Da?"
"Of course it's because..." He looked up at Prince Kang, "He knows too much!"
Everyone doesn't understand this, but it sounds very interesting.
The eldest princess said anxiously: "Tell me quickly! What's the inside story? As long as you say it, the credit will be remembered on your daughter!"
Jiang Shi leaned down and said in a hoarse voice: "The little one in Jing Haijun, the commander above is Xiao Da. In order to make money, he colluded with the pirates in private and blackmailed the merchant ship. One day four years ago, Xiao Da suddenly said he wanted to train, took us out of the island, met with the pirates, changed into their clothes, and rushed into a academy at night..."
As he told, everyone's expressions gradually became subtle.
When he stopped, the empress dowager couldn't help but stand up, tears almost rolling down, and asked in a trembling voice: "Is that academy called Wuya Hai Pavilion?"
