The whole world thinks that I am trying to usurp the throne

This Yan Xun was clearly only a 14-year-old boy, and just now a person died in front of his eyes, and the black blood of that person even spread to his feet, within an inch of the tip of his shoe, why did he still look so relaxed?

Zhou Co was a little startled. Although Liu Yuan never admitted that he had a secret meeting with Yan Xun until his death, let alone that he had murdered Yan Xun with the poison/medicine he got from Yan Xun, but once Liu Yuan died, he became afraid of crime. Suicide, regardless of whether Yan Xun was really the mastermind of Yan Xun's murder, but the suspicion on him is getting bigger and bigger. For some reason, Yan Xun is calm and composed as if walking in a courtyard.

Zhou Coke ordered someone to carry Liu Yuan's body down the hall. Liu Yuan's mouth and nose were bleeding profusely. As soon as the body was lifted up, the black blood easily slid down his cheeks and neck and dripped onto the ground, "Tick tock, tick tock" The sound hit the ears of everyone present, and after a while, the sound finally stopped, leaving only a puddle of sticky black blood and a line of winding, drop-shaped bloodstains. Flooded in this court, as if they could kill people instantly.

Two more yamen servants cleaned up the black blood from the ground, and the huge court finally returned to its original appearance.

Zhou Yi looked at Yan Xun and asked, "Second Highness, do you have anything to say?"

Yan Xun raised his head, looked directly at Zhou Cozy who was sitting on the high hall, and said, "I don't know that Liu Yuan, let alone met Liu Yuan in secret, this Wang Shu is really slandering me with lies..."

Suddenly, he paused for a moment, and smiled helplessly: "Will Mr. Zhou believe a word of what I just said?"

Zhou Yan didn't expect Yan Xun to ask such a question, he was dumb for a while, and after a while, he said: "If the Second Highness is innocent, I will win the trust; if the Second Highness is guilty, even if I believe it, the Second Highness cannot escape the guilt." dropped."

There is no difference between what Zhou Co said or not, obviously to fool him, Yan Xun said indifferently: "Since this is the case, I hope Mr. Zhou will find out the truth of this case as soon as possible."

Now that Liu Yuan is dead and there is no other witness, Zhou Co can only ask Wang Shu: "Wang Shu..."

"Wang Shu, you said that you saw Liu Yuan and I having a secret meeting in Guiyuxuan one month and three days ago, is there anyone else who can prove it?" Although Yan Xun hoped that Zhou Yi would find out the truth of the case as soon as possible, but Not giving him the time to go to the next trial, he cut off his words abruptly, and stared condescendingly at Wang Shu who was kneeling under the lobby.

Wang Shu was kneeling with her back to Yan Xun, so if she didn't look back, she would have no way of knowing Yan Xun's expression, but Yan Xun's gaze made her feel like a thorn in her back.

Seeing that Wang Shu didn't answer for a long time, Yan Xun asked again: "Is there any other witness?"

Because Yan Xun has not grown up yet, his voice is not as thick and deep as an ordinary adult man's, but it is like a stream splashing on a cobblestone, clear and crisp, and his question was softened a bit, like a spring breeze The face made people feel relieved, but for Wang Shu, it forced her to be at a loss. She originally thought that under the current situation, Yan Xun should be pale and panicked. Yan Xun pushed her into a disadvantageous situation, but she felt that Yan Xun had already played her in his hands.

Wang Shu regained her composure and was about to speak, but a servant hurriedly whispered a few words into Zhou Co's ear.

Zhou Cozy frowned slightly, thought for a while, and ordered: "Bring him up."

The yamen servant responded and left, and after a while, a young man in brocade clothes was brought up.

The brocade-clothed boy looked a little embarrassed, looked at Yan Xun timidly and called out, "Second Brother Huang."

Not only did Yan Huan not get out of the cell of Dali Temple, he was also caught by Zhou Yi's men. If he was convicted, Yan Huan might be beaten as his accomplice.

Yan Xun glanced at Yan Huan, he wanted to put on a surprised look first, and then ask Yan Huan why he was here, but after thinking about it, if he did this, it would make people suspect that he had a ghost in his heart. He was arrested in the cell of Dali Temple, and he was the only one with Yan Huan in the cell, so he might not be able to get away with pretending, if Yan Huan was only arrested when he got out of the cell...

Yan Xun couldn't think of a countermeasure for a while, so he simply kept silent and watched the changes.

Zhou Coke ordered someone to bring a comb-back chair for Yan Huan to sit on, and then raised his voice and asked, "Your Highness, Fourth Prince, why are you hiding in my prison cell in Dali Temple?"

Yan Huan didn't answer, and sat on the chair, his uneasy eyes kept slipping towards Yan Xun's face.

Yan Huan was actually arrested in the prison cell of Dali Temple, Yan Xun felt hesitant, met Yan Huan's gaze, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Si Huangdi, for coming to see me."

"I..." Hearing these words, a flash of light flashed in Yan Huan's mind, "I saw that Brother Erhuang was fine, so I said goodbye to Brother Erhuang, just as I was about to leave the cell, I found that the jade pendant I had with me was gone. turn up."

After finishing speaking, Yan Huan let go of his tightly clenched right hand, and there was indeed a piece of translucent jade pendant lying on his palm.

Yan Xun glanced at the jade pendant, and asked Zhou Cozy, "Is there anything wrong with the fourth brother coming to visit me in the cell? Why did Lord Zhou order someone to arrest the fourth brother?"

Originally, there was nothing wrong with Yan Huan coming to visit Yan Xun, but Yan Xun was charged with murdering the prince Yan Xun. As Yan Xun and Yan Xun's younger brother, Yan Huan should avoid suspicion, and Yan Huantian hadn't cleared up yet. It was really suspicious to visit Yan Xun secretly.

But Yan Xun in front of him pre-emptively admitted that Yan Huan came to visit him, with a frank face, which made Zhou Yan, who ordered the government officials to search the cell and Yan Huan was arrested, and ordered Yan Huan to be taken to the court, became a villain instead. .

Zhou Cozy sighed indistinctly, before the sigh fell to the ground, a look of grievance appeared on Yan Huan's round cheeks, and moisture was in his dark eyes, and he said: "Master Zhou, I just came to visit my second brother, Why are you arresting me?"

Zhou Cozy asked: "It's natural for His Highness Fourth to visit His Highness Second, but why didn't His Highness inform the courtiers, but bought the jailer? His actions like this really make people suspicious."

Yan Xun said indifferently: "Master Zhou, why are you suspicious, why don't you say it clearly."

But at this moment, a voice came in: "Fourth emperor brother, you are indeed here."

As soon as the words fell to the ground, a person entered the courtroom with the support of the servants. The person who came was the victim of the case, Crown Prince Yan Yu.

This Yan Xun is five years older than Yan Xun, and is also taller than Yan Xun. Now, due to the chronic poison/drug, his figure is slightly hunched, his face is pale, bloodless, and he is coughing heavily, as if wanting a heart It seemed as if all the spleen and lungs had been coughed up, and he finally sat up with the support of the servant, but the chair trembled. After a long time, he stopped coughing.

Although Empress Zhao behind the screen was worried about Yan Yu's body, but because of her self-esteem, she didn't get out of the screen, she just looked at Yan Yu carefully and said: "Huanger, why are you here?"

Only then did Yan Yu realize that his biological mother, Empress Zhao, was sitting behind the screen. After asking about her, she gritted her teeth and said: "Yan Xun wants to kill my son, so my son must come and see what will happen to him."

Empress Zhao persuaded: "Your Majesty, why don't you go back and rest first, Master Zhou will definitely handle this case impartially."

Yan Yu shook his head and said: "I can't go, I have something to say to Mr. Zhou."

Hearing this, Zhou Co hurriedly said, "His Royal Highness, please speak."

Yan Yu waved his hand, and a person came up to the hall, this person was nearly fifty years old, he knelt down immediately, and said: "My lord, this old slave is a gardener in the palace, and he was pruning the branches and leaves outside the East Palace yesterday, when he saw the Fourth Highness Hiding behind a clump of hosta flowers, peeking at the situation in the palace."

Yan Yu answered: "Because of frequent coughs and headaches, I called the imperial doctor to check the pulse, but the imperial doctor hadn't diagnosed the cause yet, but Wang Shu came to ask to see him, I think the fourth brother must have seen Wang Shu. "

Originally, Yan Huan wanted to go to the East Palace with Yan Yu to ride and shoot. When he arrived in the East Palace, he saw Wang Shu who often waited by Yan Xun's side. He had an intuition that something happened, so he hid sideways behind the hosta flower.

Yan Huan didn't know how to respond, but Yan Yu said aggressively: "Fourth brother, did you come here to tell you that the second brother was informed by Wang Shu and this palace, so that your second brother can deal with it early?" Dali Temple? Are you conspiring with your second brother to kill me? After the matter is completed, your second brother will sit on the throne, and you can be an idle prince and enjoy the wealth and glory of your life... Or do you want to help me first? Get rid of Bengong, your second brother, and then get rid of your second brother, so that you can sit on the throne?"

Although Yan Huan was raised in the emperor's family, he matured much earlier than ordinary children, but he was only thirteen years old. Under Yan Yu's persecution, he couldn't help trembling with fright, and kept saying: "No, I'm not..."

It was Yan Xun who looked at Yan Yu calmly, and said with a smile on his lips: "Brother Huang's speech is even more exciting than the folk tales."

The implication is that Yan Yu is talking nonsense, which is no different from fabricated words.

Yan Xun said again: "Wang Shu, you said that you saw me meeting Liu Yuan with your own eyes one month and three days ago, and that you saw him bump into a maid carrying soup. If what you said is true, you obviously followed Liu Yuan." Yuan, you even bothered to find out if the maid was punished by the queen mother, since you thought it was weird at the time, why didn't you tell the emperor about it until yesterday?"
