No. 289 Sitting
The only eldest prince under the emperor's knees was murdered to death by Qi Chenjing, the king of An, who bribed the palace people, and as soon as this news came out, it set off a big wave in the court. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Some courtiers thought that King An had bad intentions and deliberately murdered the emperor's heir, and asked the emperor to severely punish King An.
Some ministers believed that the evidence of this matter was insufficient, and it could not be concluded that the matter was committed by King An based on the testimony of a few palace people alone.
The court debated over this matter, and there was no conclusion for a while.
In the Ningguo Mansion, Kang Yan has lived in the Ningguo Mansion since she came out of Tianxiangyuan that day, and Su Yuhuan has been by her side, afraid that she will worry too much about Qi Chenjing's affairs.
The people in the palace knew that she was in the Ningguo Mansion, but they were afraid that the eldest princess Fuyun did not send someone to the Ningguo Mansion to arrest her.
Because she was worried about Qi Chenjing, Kang Yan's whole state was not very good, and she couldn't eat, but she was afraid that the nutrition of the child in her stomach would not keep up, so she forced herself to eat some meals every day.
"Shaofan and his sixth cousin went out to listen to the news together, presumably there will be a conclusion in the court today, there are grandmothers and uncles here, as well as the imperial historians who are in contact with my grandfather, and the prince will be fine." Su Yuhuan helped her walk in the yard, comforting her in her mouth.
"My sister hasn't slept well in the past few days, and she should cheer up for the sake of the child in her belly."
Kang Yan sighed and patted Su Yuhuan's hand, "Don't worry, I know the severity." ”
Qi Chenjing is not by her side, so she has to cheer up and take care of herself and her children.
Su Yuhuan saw that although she was not in good spirits, there was no sadness and fear in her eyes, and she was slightly relieved in her heart. In the past few days, Kang Shaofan has been running outside for King An's affairs, but he is really worried about Kang Yan in his heart. Every day, I told myself to comfort Kang Yan. I'm afraid that Kang Yan won't be able to think about it for a while.
Looking at Kang Yan's current appearance, Su Yuhuan knew that she would be strong and persevering, and she would not be able to think about it easily, and her mood would also relax, just hoping that Qi Chenjing could clear her grievances as soon as possible and be released from prison, so that they could go home as soon as possible.
Otherwise, they will have to live in the Ningguo Mansion all the time, although the Ningguo Mansion is good. People up and down are also very thoughtful to their couple, but after all, it is not their own home.
Su Yuhuan sighed in her heart, and her sharp eyes found that Kang Shaofan and Chen Yikang walked in from outside.
"How? Is there any news? Kang Yan greeted her one step faster than her, and her tone couldn't hide her eagerness.
She was pregnant and couldn't go out to find out the news, so she was stuffy in the house, so she had to wait for Kang Shaofan and Chen Yikang to go out to find out the news.
Kang Shaofan and Chen Yikang's faces are not very good-looking.
Kang Yan's heart sank, her body shook, and Su Yuhuan stepped forward to help her sit on the stone chair in the courtyard.
"Sixth cousin. You say, I'll bear it. Kang Yan looked up at Chen Yikang, although her face was a little pale, her eyes were very calm.
Chen Yikang and Kang Shaofan glanced at each other. After a while, Chen Yikang pursed his lips, and said in a somewhat dry voice: "Mr. Yan entrusted Liu Yushi and Deng Yushi with excerpts. There are also the Su family, the Cheng family, and others are all on the fold. said that the evidence was insufficient, and asked the emperor to send someone to thoroughly investigate the murder of the eldest prince. However, the harem sent out a few testimonies, which were said to be the testimonies of the chamberlains and palace maids who were bribed by King An, claiming that King An had instructed them to assassinate the eldest prince. ”
"If it's just a few testimonies, it's fine, but at this time, the queen mother brought a palace maid to the palace, and the palace maid entered the palace and asked the emperor for guilt, saying that she was instructed by King An that day to deliberately lure the eldest prince to the rockery of the imperial garden, and then pushed him down."
Speaking of this, Chen Yikang's eyes added a touch of deep worry, and he looked at Kang Yan intently without further words.
Kang Yan motioned to Kang Shaofan to go down and say that she urgently needed to know Qi Chenjing's situation now.
Kang Shaofan beat his hands hatefully, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know where the queen mother found the palace maid, after the palace maid said something, she said that after doing this, she was restless day and night, and she could no longer stand the condemnation of conscience, so she came to correct King An, and was willing to die to prove that what she said was true....... Hit the pillar and died. ”
When Kang Yan heard this, her body couldn't help but tense, and her hands were clenched tightly.
The eldest prince fell and was injured to the point of coma before, none of them thought much about it, they didn't expect the eldest prince to die of serious injuries, and what they didn't expect was that the queen mother and the emperor would plant this matter on Qi Chenjing's head resolutely.
Since the Queen Mother has used this trick, there will inevitably be a backhand to deal with it, and the physical evidence and human evidence must have been prepared.
But this palace maid who suddenly appeared actually hit a pillar in the court and died, proving Qi Chenjing's "crime" with her death, and this collision can be said to have completely confirmed Qi Chenjing's charge of bribing the chamberlain to murder the eldest prince.
In this way, the courtiers had no more rebuttals, after all, who would dare to question what she said if she dared to swear and testify with her life.
The Queen Mother made it clear that she wanted to put Qi Chenjing to death.
Kang Yan's face turned pale, and it took a long time before she spoke in a dumb voice, "Have you ever heard about Ah Jing's current situation, and have you been tortured?" ”
It has been seven days since Tianxiangyuan was arrested that day, and Kang Yan is very afraid that Qi Chenjing will be tortured in prison.
Kang Shaofan waved his hand and comforted her in a loud voice, "Sister, don't worry, my uncle went to check it out in person, and the news that came back was that my brother-in-law was not tortured inside." ”
It's good that he didn't be tortured, Kang Yan was afraid that they would use some selfish means to torture Qi Chenjing and make him suffer.
The next question is how to save Qi Chenjing, Kang Yan quickly calculated in her heart.
The queen mother's naked * framed him, although the means were a little bit, but it was very ruthless, so that they couldn't come up with evidence to prove Qi Chenjing's innocence for a while.
Even if everyone knew that Qi Chenjing was framed, in front of the testimony of the Queen Mother and the palace maid who was killed, all the defenses became pale and powerless.
"You are pregnant, don't worry too much, just leave this matter to your grandmother and your uncles." The voice of the eldest princess of Fuyun came in from the door.
Kang Yan looked up and saw the eldest princess Fuyun striding in from the gate of the courtyard, followed by the four uncles of the Chen family.
"Grandmother." Kang Yeon's nose couldn't help but be sour.
The eldest princess of Fuyun patted her hand and sat down next to her.
"Without further ado, I'll go to the palace, and now, don't think about justifying whether Ah Jing is innocent or not, and save his life first." The eldest princess Fuyun said, a sharp sharpness flashed in her eyes, and she instructed her eldest son, Ning Guogong, "You go and secretly contact the old department of our Chen family, and I will go to the palace to negotiate with the queen mother." ”
There is a resolute passage and a resolute determination in the tone.
"Grandmother, are you sure?" Kang Yan asked worriedly.
This scene in the court today can be regarded as confirming Qi Chenjing's crime, in order to be afraid of long nights and dreams, it is estimated that Qi Chenjing will have to be dealt with when he goes to court tomorrow, and if he wants to save Qi Chenjing, he can only wait for today.
The eldest princess Fuyun's eyes narrowed, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, "I am the eldest princess of Dingguo Fuyun who was personally given the title by Emperor Taizu, and I still have bargaining chips with them in my hand, and it is naturally best for them to let go of Ah Jing, if they are unwilling, then let them see if the Chen family has really fallen over the years, hum." ”
The implication is that if the negotiation fails, force will be used, and Qi Chenjing will also be rescued.
Kang Yeon's heart was shocked, and then her heart was slowly moved.
She bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Grandmother, thank you, I know that you cherish me and Ah Jing, but the use of force is too risky, don't let the entire Chen family fall into crisis because of me and Ah Jing, and it is not easy for the Chen family to secretly manage the power, if the strength of the Chen family is exposed because of this matter, I am afraid that it will cause greater suspicion ....... the emperor."
The Chen family was a general of the former dynasty with heavy troops in the previous dynasty, only because of the marriage of the eldest princess of Fuyun at that time, and Emperor Taizu joined hands to fight the capital, after the founding of the Great Liang, for fear of causing Emperor Taizu's speculation, the Chen family handed over the military power, only hung idle posts, and no longer copied things in the army.
However, the Chen family is a family of military generals in the past dynasties, and its strength in the army cannot be underestimated, even if the Chen family has not been involved with the generals in the army over the years, but the Chen family is still powerful, and many generals in the army were the old departments of the Chen family.
If the eldest princess Fuyun is the guarantee on the face of the Chen family, then these forces operating behind the scenes are the last guarantee of the Chen family secretly, and they are the retreat left by the eldest princess Fuyun for the descendants of the Chen family.
Kang Yan didn't want to expose the strength of the Chen family because of their husband and wife.
Besides, these forces were single-handedly run by the Chen family, so they were naturally willing to work hard for the Chen family, but for her and Qi Chenjing, they were afraid that these people would have ideas.
The eldest princess of Fuyun saw through Kang Yan's worries at a glance, and patted her comfortingly, "Don't worry, grandmother is measured, and grandmother will not take the last step unless it is absolutely necessary." ”
Kang Yan put her mind at ease and said earnestly, "Yan'er only asks you to save Ah Jing's life first, as for other titles, fame and fortune, they are all important, as long as the person is still there, we will slowly figure out the rest." ”
She thought very clearly, as long as Qi Chenjing was safe, nothing else mattered, and with Qi Chenjing's ability, he would be able to get back what he had lost little by little sooner or later.
The eldest princess of Fuyun looked at Kang Yan's gaze and was very pleased, her granddaughter's words not only begged her to save Qi Chenjing, but also considered the position of the Chen family, and refused to force it too much.
"Well, don't worry, wait for your grandmother's good news at home." (To be continued.) )
