Chapter 210: Palace Banquet (3): Confession
Li Jinyan was suddenly stabbed, except for the woman in red and those dancing girls, everyone present was suspicious. Murong Zhao ordered people to inquire carefully, and those who had the slightest problem were suspected of being detained pending further investigation.
At this time, Zhang Yanran was more panicked than anyone else, this woman was indeed arranged by her. But her original plan was not to let her appear as a dancing girl, and she didn't expect her target to be Jing Li Jinyan, why would that dancing girl do this? If it is found out that she arranged to enter the palace by herself, even if she did not instigate this matter, she will not be able to tell it at that time, and maybe she will die in the end without a place to be buried.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yanran's hand holding the wine glass was trembling, and the emperor's voice was faintly heard in her ears.
"Prince Moxuan, this palace banquet was suspended due to an accident, and the five princes are not to blame."
"The emperor is serious, this matter is not trivial. However, I just saw that adult vomiting black blood, it should be poisoned, it just so happens that my retinue is proficient in medical skills, why don't you let him try? ”
Mo Xuan's words made Murong Zhao stunned, and before he could speak, he heard a crisp voice sound: "No need, thank you Fifth Prince!" Jin Yan is no longer in trouble, please rest assured that the emperor. The person who came was Xia Sihan, and at this time she was standing in the main hall, her eyes like a torch.
Seeing this, Murong Zhao couldn't help but suffocate, it was the first time for Xia Sihan to face a saint on such an occasion, but he was not afraid at all. This courage shocked Murong Zhao and gave him some appreciation.
"However, the emperor, the imperial physician found the poisonous powder of the broken intestine grass in Jin Yan's clothes, and asked the emperor to call the shots and conduct a thorough investigation of all the servants in the Li Mansion." After that, Xia Sihan knelt down, Murong Zhao didn't expect her to be like this, there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes, but after thinking about it, he understood.
The person who poisoned him can get close, he must be someone close to him in the house, and today's assassination of the dancing girl may have something to do with the people in the house. Thinking of this, Murong Zhao pondered for a moment and instructed his cronies to do it in person.
At this time, Xia Sihan put his mind at ease, folded his hands on the ground and saluted, and shouted long live.
At this time, the queen mother and Murong Yu both clenched their fists. Unexpectedly, Xia Sihan actually let the emperor come out and uproot them at one time! It's not that easy!
"You get up, Jin Yan has just detoxified, I will arrange for him to rest in the side hall first, and you will accompany him. Ah Yu, you can start preparing for the afternoon's affairs now, don't blame the five princes. ”
Mo Xuan arched his hand and watched Murong Zhao leave the hall, and everyone got up and said, "Congratulations to the emperor!" ”
At this time, Xia Sihan just got up, and when she met the queen's eyes, her heart couldn't help but tremble! The coldness in her eyes made her shudder.
Her guess was right, Murong Xue was interested in Jinyan, and the affairs of the house must have nothing to do with her.
Although there was chaos just now, she could see clearly that when King Ning said that the two of them could not have children, Murong Xue was obviously nervous. The nervousness is not worry, but fear.
In this way, I am afraid that Mo Ju is the queen's person, but who ordered the broken intestine grass? Since Murong Xue likes Jin Yan, it is absolutely impossible for her to want Jin Yan to die.
Now that Xia Sihan has returned to the side hall, Li Jinyan has already woken up, Murong Zhao is also there, seeing Xia Sihan coming in, Murong Zhao shook his head and sighed: "Since this incident happened, we should have returned earlier, fortunately, it didn't make a big mistake today, otherwise we will all regret it." ”
These words were said to Xia Sihan, and Xia Sihan was responsible for the affairs of the back house, that is, he had already discovered it but was able to endure it until now, and it was clearly through today's play. Of course, Murong Zhao knew their intentions, although there were extenuating circumstances, but when he thought of being used by them, he was still dissatisfied.
Xia Sihan watched the change in the expression on Murong Zhao's face, knowing that his plan had been discovered, and immediately said frankly: "The emperor forgives the sin, Sihan knows his mistakes, and he doesn't want to defend himself. It's just that when I found out that someone in the house was poisoned, I asked people to investigate thoroughly, and who knew that I followed the clues to find out in the palace. Sihan didn't dare to act rashly, but if this person was found, I was afraid that someone would continue to harm us in the future. After thinking about it again, I thought of using today's palace banquet to make a big deal about it. In this way, the emperor must come forward to order a thorough investigation at this time. ”
Xia Sihan went through the matter one by one, and Murong Zhao's face turned pale, "There is such a thing!" ”
Li Jinyan also nodded on the side, and said in a weak voice: "Because it is a person in the palace, the minister doesn't know what to do, so he has to endure it." Along the way, Sihan has been calculated many times, and after I came back, it became even worse. Don't hide it from the emperor, Sihan had been poisoned before, but I didn't expect it to be Weichen's turn this time, cough, cough! ”
Li Jinyan covered his mouth and coughed twice, his face became even paler, and Xia Sihan looked nervous. At this time, Murong Zhao's face was very ugly, he clenched his fists, and wondered who was so bold in his heart. It seems that this palace has been peaceful for a long time, and it's time to be clear.
"Then you also arranged today's assassination?" Murong Zhao suddenly remembered this and asked.
"No, Your Majesty, it wasn't us at this time. Our plan is to poison Jin Yan on the spot at the right time, and we will never put Jin Yan's life at risk in order to find the murderer. Xia Sihan hurriedly explained.
"So it seems that there is more than one person who wants to harm you! Don't worry, whether it's poisoning or assassination, I'll give you an explanation. ”
After Murong Zhao finished speaking, he asked King Ning to go to the imperial study with him, and after the two left, Xia Sihan came to Li Jinyan's side, "Jinyan, Fang Cai's knife really scared me to death, let me see." ”
Li Jinyan held her hand and didn't let her look at it. "Don't worry, it's not a big deal, it's just a little puncture. It's you, don't take the emperor's words to heart. ”
In the face of Li Jinyan's maintenance, Xia Sihan naturally knew his intentions. "I know, but this case is not trivial, and I don't think that person will let me go so easily. She did anything for the sake of her daughter. ”
"Do you know who that man is?" Li Jinyan was surprised, Xia Sihan informed his guess, and the latter was even more stunned. He never imagined it would be like this!
"Is it really her? Sihan, are you mistaken, the princess and I have only met once, and we have never even spoken a word. I don't believe that she meant that to me! ”
Li Jinyan's eyes were full of fright, and Xia Sihan also knew that he was a person and would never fail himself. It's just that now, the person who the royal family looks at only needs a holy decree, who dares to disobey?
"Now that you have entered the royal palace, you are a member of the royal family. Ordinary farmers will be criticized for not having descendants, let alone us. If we haven't conceived a child within half a year, we are afraid that trouble will ensue at that time, and it is possible to force you to divorce your wife and take a concubine. ”
Xia Sihan's words made Li Jinyan worried, and he clenched Xia Sihan's hand and didn't dare to let go.
"I thought I could protect you when I entered the palace, but I didn't expect that you would still be wronged. Sihan, if it were possible, I would rather never go out of Lijia Village for the rest of my life and be an ordinary couple with you. ”
