The silence in the hall was somewhat suffocating. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

No one expected Kang Yeon to come up and reprimand them.

What Kang Yan meant in his words was that the emperor didn't mean to put King An to death, but it was these people who coerced the emperor with merit and forced the emperor to convict King An!

They are blackening the emperor's name.

The ministers were quiet for a while, because suddenly, and because of the meaning of Kang Yan's words, they couldn't even think of a rebuttal for a while.

The minister sneered, "What a sharp mouth, the world knows that Princess An is the best at raising flowers and flowers, and in the eyes of the ministers, they are all wrong, Princess An is not only good at raising flowers, but also clever and fickle!" ”

"What do we say that we coerce the emperor with merit, that's just Princess An's words, our family members have been poisoned and suffered, we are husbands, fathers, and sons, can't we still ask the emperor to do justice to our abbot?"

"This is the long-term affection of people, but also the duty, we never dare to coerce the emperor, as the saying goes, the body is not afraid of the shadow crooked, the minister asks himself to do everything from his heart, for Princess An if the heart is punished, we can not agree."

His waist was straight, his nose was slightly raised, and he looked right.

The hall remembered the low sound of discussion, and then more and more, louder and louder voices sounded in the hall.

"Yes, I can't agree!"

"I can't agree!"

"You said we coerced, we coerced?"

"We don't recognize it!"

Kang Yeon's gaze was fixed on the tall minister who took the lead in speaking.

From the moment she entered the temple, the man jumped up and down to stir up the crowd.

"Dare to ask what this lord is called?"

The tall man flicked his sleeves and raised his head up, "This official is the left deputy governor of the Inspectorate, Yushi Xu Dong." ”

It's still a second-class master! No wonder his mouth is so powerful!

Kang Yan raised her eyebrows, "Dare to ask who is poisoned in the adult's family?" ”

"Hmph, the official's wife was killed by you, and she is still lying in bed."

Kang Yan looked at Xu Dong with a smile, "Oh, how did I hear that Mrs. Xu went back to her mother's house to visit yesterday, and many people saw it, thinking that Mrs. Xu's body is not as serious as Lord Xu said?" Or is it that Mrs. Xu was not poisoned at all? Everything is just Lord Xu talking to himself? ”

What the? Xu Dongde's face stiffened slightly.

The mother-in-law, who had already explained that she had been at ease for a few days, lay in bed for a few days, and yesterday someone suddenly came to the Shilang Mansion to say that his old mother-in-law had an emergency and asked her to go back, Xu Dong repeatedly said that it was okay to send someone over, but his wife couldn't help it, and ran back by herself, but she didn't expect to be seen.

Xu Dong secretly hated in his heart!

"Where did the princess hear the nonsense? The official's wife obviously couldn't get up at home," he said, turned around and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, please be the master of the minister, the minister is wronged, the princess is clearly wronged by the minister!" ”

The corners of Kang Yeon's mouth hooked slightly.

Do you really think they didn't prepare anything?

If she didn't have any preparations, how could Qi Chenjing agree to let her enter the palace alone?

After getting the poisoned list, Qi Chenjing sent people to pay special attention to the mansions of various ministers, wanting to see the true situation of their poisoning.

This Xu Dong's wife, Mrs. Xu, is only slightly ill, and she has long been fine.

Kang Yan also knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, Lord Xu said that he was wronged, and the courtiers also said that the flowers of the courtiers' family were wronged, it is reasonable to be unreasonable, please allow the concubine and Lord Xu to distinguish in court, he defended his wife, and the courtiers defended the flowers of the courtiers' family!" ”

"You!" Xu Dong turned his head to glare at Kang Yan.

The emperor, who had been silent on the dragon chair, could no longer be silent this time.

They are not allowed to plead, I'm sorry that he pretended to be generous and allowed King An to enter the palace to defend himself, which is tantamount to slapping himself in the face.

Kang Yan, who he had planned to let the ministers attack, mess up, and he took advantage of the chaos to convict Qi Chenjing.

Now, the emperor frowned and glanced at Xu Dong, asking him to act at the opportunity.

"That's it, the ministers are also talking out of proportion because there are sick people at home, Princess An, don't worry too much, you keep saying that the flowers of the Kang family are innocent, let's talk about what's going on first?"

Kang Yeon doesn't really care.

"Please ask the emperor to send someone to take two pots of flowers that were placed at the queen's funeral before, since the emperor allowed King An to enter the palace to defend himself, presumably those flowers should not be destroyed now."

Kang Yeon leaned over and saluted.

The emperor hesitated slightly.

Xu Dong opened his mouth to stop, "The emperor must not do it, those are poisonous flowers, how can they be moved to the main hall, now in the main hall, the emperor and all the ministers in the court are here, if there is a ............"

"Princess An, what kind of heart are you comfortable with? Is it trying to poison us on the spot? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, you must not agree to Princess An's request!"

"Please think twice!"

"Since the ministers are against it, then ask the emperor and the ministers to move outside the hall, place the flowers in the open space outside the hall, and the courtiers will verify it in person, and then report to the emperor." Kang Yeon proposed.

The emperor couldn't veto, so he had to signal the ministers to go out of the palace together.

Soon, in the open space where the main hall was, the emperor and all the ministers appeared at the gate of the hall, and two pots of flowers were placed more than two feet away from them.

It is the crane wanglan and the first pin.

Kang Yan leaned over and carefully looked at the two pots of flowers, making sure that they were the same as the two pots of flowers that Chen San and she had gotten.

She was slightly relieved.

It is estimated that the emperor is too conceited, or for other reasons, so he did not do anything in the two pots of flowers that were moved.

Kang Yan stared at the flower for a long time, and then instructed the eunuch next to her, who was careful to keep his distance from her, "Please help me prepare a bouquet of ambergris and find a wild cat." ”

The little eunuch trotted and went to the emperor to report Kang Yan's request.

The emperor frowned, not understanding what Kang Yan meant by these things, but he still waved his hand.

The little eunuch went down and got ready.

Kang Yeon still sat motionless in front of the flowers.

I don't know how long it took, just when the emperor and the ministers were getting more and more impatient, Kang Yan moved.

She got up and walked to the emperor's side and said, "Your Majesty, you see, the courtiers have been sitting quietly in front of this flower for a long time, and they have not felt the slightest discomfort, which shows that this flower is not poisonous. ”

Everyone was stunned, and the emperor was also a little confused.

Everyone thought that Kang Yan was going to talk at length, but who knew that she just sat in front of the flowers for a while, and when she came back, she said that the flowers were not poisonous.

A sneer flashed in the emperor's eyes, "Princess An has been sitting for a long time, is there only this one evidence to defend your Kang Jiahua?" ”

"yes, how can this be considered evidence?"

"That flower has been left for a few days, maybe the poison will soon dissipate!"

Then the ministers began to exchange heads.

Kang Yeon smiled silently.

It happened that the little eunuch brought incense over, and he was still holding a cat in his arms.

"The courtiers naturally have more than this one evidence, please wait a little longer."

Kang Yan walked back to the flower and told the little eunuch to follow her.

A small incense burner was placed in front of a white marble pile, and the little eunuch was instructed to move the two pots of flowers to the pile, and then bolted the cat to the pile.

Directly threw a large piece of ambergris in the incense burner and lit it, watching the faint aroma begin to emerge, and ordered the surrounding eunuchs to stay away, Kang Yan walked back to the emperor unhurriedly.

Looking at these things she did, everyone was puzzled, and the emperor was impatient

"Princess An, what are you going to do? There are a lot of things to be done in the court, and I don't have the time to waste time here. ”

"Your Majesty, please be calm, the courtiers are demonstrating the process of their poisoning to the emperor and the ministers?"

Demonstration of the process of poisoning?

With a cat?

The emperor's eyes fell on the flower pot placed in the distance, because the distance was a little far, he couldn't see the shape of the flower clearly, and he could only see the green smoke wafting out of the small incense burner.

The tethered cat also mischievously circled the flower pots.

Can't see anything at all?

What kind of medicine does Kang Yan sell in the gourd?

"Don't Princess An have no way, just want to use a cat to fool the emperor, right?" Xu Dong snorted coldly.

Kang Yan directly ignored his words, just stared at the cat that was still behind, silently counting the time in her heart.

Xu Dong saw that Kang Yan was ignoring him, and a trace of annoyance flashed on his face.

I was about to say something, but I heard someone exclaim, "Oops, that cat doesn't move!" ”

His gaze followed the crowd to the cat.

The cat that was still going back and forth just now was obviously wilted, and lay down listlessly, constantly scratching the ground with its paws, and seemed to be a little irritable.

After scratching a few times, the cat began to shake its head incessantly, and its mouth began to make a 'meow, meow', which was a little sharp and a little poignant.

After shaking its head, the cat seemed to feel more uncomfortable, and it propped itself up, and meowed more urgently.

Suddenly, it stood up and threw itself at the incense burner that was not far away.

With a clang, the incense burner was knocked to the ground with a crisp sound, and the incense in the incense burner and the ashes that had been burned were scattered on the ground.

Everyone was startled and subconsciously took a step back.

Still not satisfied, the cat barked desperately and struggled desperately, as if trying to break free from the rope and pounce on the crowd.

The terrible screams and fierce appearance made everyone feel frightened.

"Oh no, this cat is crazy, get it away!"

"Hurry up!"

"Princess An, what are your intentions?"

There was chaos outside the main hall, screams, reproaches, and chaos.

Only Kang Yan and the emperor did not move!

Kang Yeon already knew what the scene would be.

The emperor was a little stunned!

He didn't understand a little, the distance was a little far just now, and he didn't see clearly what Kang Yan had done, but Kang Yan wanted a cat and ambergris, he thought about it and didn't feel that there was anything wrong, so he agreed to give it to Kang Yan. 、

However, what was happening in front of him made him feel bad.

How can those flowers, with ambergris, drive cats crazy?

He knew very well in his heart how those ministers and women were poisoned, and it obviously had nothing to do with ambergris.

The emperor was stunned, and Ding Gang ordered several little eunuchs to step forward and beat the cat to death with sticks, but was stopped by Kang Yan.

"This cat is fine, tear down the incense burner, and the cat will be relieved after a while."

Several little eunuchs looked at Kang Yan and turned to Ding Gang again.

Ding Gang frowned and looked at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, ministers, what I saw just now is a demonstration of many people being poisoned on the day of the queen's funeral."

Kang Yan ignored Ding Gang, walked up, and said loudly.

The people who had just been in a mess and noisy gradually quieted down.

"In fact, the so-called poisoning is just the fragrance of flowers just met ambergris, and the two fragrances collide with each other, so that everyone will smell uncomfortable, this discomfort is only dizziness caused by the fragrance of the fragrance, vomiting, and even wheezing for the weak, but it is not poisoning."

Two scents clash with each other?

The emperor's brows furrowed, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes when he looked at Kang Yan.

He knows the truth very well in his heart, but whether Kang Yan knows it in his heart or not, the emperor is not sure now.

said that Kang Yan didn't know, she just said that the fragrance was conflicting, and said that Kang Yan knew, why did she just say ambergris.

Obviously it has nothing to do with ambergris.

Kang Yeon is trying to find out, or if she really doesn't know.

Moreover, what she just lit was indeed ambergris, which the emperor was very sure, but why did that cat go crazy?

This also puzzled the emperor, so he was not sure whether Kang Yan had guessed the truth of the matter.

The emperor didn't speak, and Xu Dong and Ding Gang, who were standing next to him, glanced at each other.

In the end, Xu Dong spoke first, "Princess An's words are so light, I want to exonerate the Kang family with a word of fragrance, if it is really a fragrance conflict, then it is also a problem with the flowers grown by your Kang family, besides, ambergris is the incense used in all palaces in the palace, why are so many palaces fine, but the flowers that are paid tribute to the queen's funeral will be fragrant and conflict, whether the Kang family has moved other hands and feet, I don't know?" ”

The corners of Kang Yan's mouth curled and looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty, the courtiers are so sure that the poisoning of the ministers has nothing to do with my Kang family, one is because the cause of the poisoning has been identified, and the other reason is that these flowers are not tributed by my Kang family at all." ”

What the? Didn't the Kang family pay tribute?

"Who doesn't know that in the past four years, all the flowers in the palace have been paid tribute by the Kang family, Princess An said this, is there any evidence?" A middle-aged minister in a green robe, medium build, and a straight posture spoke first.

Kang Yan heard that there was no deliberate intent in his words, so she smiled at him.

"I have carefully examined these flowers, on the surface, these two kinds of flowers and the Kang family raised basically the same, it can be said that it is indeed true, but, look closely, the petals of this pot of Crane Hope Orchid, the color of its outer petal is a little light yellow, the inner petal is more like lake blue, and my Kang family Crane Hope Orchid, the outer petal is orange, the inner petal is bright blue."

"Look at the flowers of the first crown, the shape of the rabbit ears of the flowers is not naturally generated, but artificially pruned, if it is straightened by hand, it can not be restored to the shape of the rabbit ears, and the shape of the rabbit ears of the Kang family is natural, and will not be affected by external forces."

Is there such a statement?

The ministers looked at the two pots of flowers, but unfortunately they were too far away to see anything.

"It's just color, orange and light yellow, lake blue and bright blue, it's very close in itself, it's hard to tell, it's not what you said, besides, the shape of that pincrown has always been advertised by the Kang family itself, whether it's or not, no one has verified it." Xu Dong cocked his sleeves and sneered. (To be continued.) )
