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

Yan Xun tried his best to suppress the indescribable throbbing in his heart, and followed Zhou Yi and all the officials to the courtroom set up by Dali Temple. Because of his noble status, and the case was related to the life of the current prince, this courtroom was not If there are many spectators in an ordinary courtroom, there are only Zhou Co, the servants in the huge courtroom, and the two people standing behind a screen on the left side of the courtroom.

This screen is embroidered with Daishan Xiushui, and there are two rows of flying birds passing by. The embroidery is extremely delicate, and even the flying birds, which are no larger than rice grains, are alive and vivid on the snow-white silk surface, which is obviously not Dali. The things in the temple should come from the palace, and the person sitting behind the screen looks dignified and upright, and it must be Yan Yu's biological mother, Empress Zhao, in eight out of ten.

Yan Xun didn't know whether Empress Zhao came here to decide Yan Yu's death sentence, or simply to watch and hear the trial, so he didn't make it clear, but quietly withdrew his gaze from sweeping the screen, and stood tall in the center of the courtroom.

Yan Xungui is of the blood of the Son of Heaven, although he is suspected of murdering the Crown Prince, but because there is no conclusion yet, he can't kneel down. Zhou Yan glanced at Empress Zhao behind the screen, hesitating whether to ask someone to give her a seat, but she heard Empress Zhao's concern "Ah Xun, it's hard for you to stay in prison all night for nothing. You must be hungry, right? Siyu, hurry up and get the food I brought from the palace."

The maid named Siyu Ying Nuo stepped out of the screen and saluted Yan Xun before leaving the courtroom.

Although Yan Xun called Empress Zhao as his mother and often greeted her, he was not close to Empress Zhao, and now he was charged with poisoning Empress Zhao's own son, Yan Yu. Give him food.

Empress Zhao's gaze from behind the screen softly hit Yan Xun, Yan Xun said in her heart: I shouldn't suspect that the queen is going to kill me.

Thinking of this, Yan Xun respectfully bowed to Queen Zhao and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother."

"That's all." When the words fell to the ground, Empress Zhao looked at Yan Xun's face and said softly, "Ah Xun, come to Queen Mother."

Yan Xun didn't know what happened to Queen Zhao, so he went into the screen anyway.

Empress Zhao was wearing a plain brocade robe, which was far less noble and delicate than the clothes she usually wears, full of flowers. Empress Zhao's complexion was a little pale, and her eyes were covered with a layer of dark blue. She had clearly not closed her eyes yesterday.

Yan Xun called out: "Mother's queen." He bowed his head and stood in front of Queen Zhao, like a child who had been wronged in every possible way, even the strands of hair hanging down were a little pitiful.

Empress Zhao stood up, took Zhang Jinpa, gently wiped off the dirt on Yan Xun's cheeks, and said softly, "Ah Xun, you have been wronged."

Yan Xun saw the pain in Empress Zhao's eyes, and heard her words, and said in a crying voice: "Mother, I am innocent, I never thought of murdering the emperor."

Empress Zhao comforted: "I believe that you will not murder your imperial brother. I will take you back to the palace immediately after Mr. Zhou finds out the case."

The two of them said some more personal words, Yan Xun stepped out of the screen and returned to the hall.

Siyu had already ordered someone to bring a comb-back chair and a low table, and then presented food, namely bird's nest white fungus porridge, shrimp dumplings, golden silk rolls and Longjing crisps.

These four dishes were cooked exquisitely, and there was still a curl of hot air, and the aroma accompanied by the hot air brushed Yan Xun's nose, making him feel hungry.

Yan Xun hadn't eaten since he was imprisoned early yesterday morning. At first he was worried about Xiao Yuebai who was unconscious, and then he slept soundly in Xiao Yuebai's arms sleepily, so he didn't care about his hunger at all until now Only then did the long-hungry stomach under the flesh hit his nerves hard.

He persisted in using the spoon to use tremella bird's nest porridge, a mouthful of hot porridge fell into his mouth, before he could taste half of the taste, he suddenly remembered Xiao Yuebai, Xiao Yuebai hadn't eaten for a long time, if it wasn't for himself Being alone and weak, weak and incompetent, how could Xiao Yuebai be imprisoned together with himself.

His eye sockets were slightly hot, and finally there was some turmoil on his extremely calm face, in order to cover up his gaffe, he ate some more indiscriminately, and then ordered Si Yu, who was waiting by the side, to evacuate the short couple.

Seeing that Yan Xun was just eating, Zhou Co patted the gavel, and said solemnly: "Second Prince Yan Xun, Crown Prince Yan Xun accused you of poisoning him, do you agree or not?"

Yan Xun sat on a pear wood chair with a comb back, tapped the wood grain on the armrest lightly with his fingers, and calmly said: "I didn't do it, why should I admit it?"

With a wave of Zhou Co's hand, a yamen servant presented something to Yan Xun.

Yan Xun glanced at a white porcelain bottle of less than two inches that was presented by the yamen servant with both hands, looked up at Zhou Cozy, and asked doubtfully, "Master Zhou, what is this?"

Instead of answering, Zhou Yan asked, "Your Highness, do you really not know?"

Seeing Yan Xun shaking his head, Zhou Co patted the gavel and raised his voice: "The witness."

The porcelain bottle in front of me must contain poison/medicine, it is a physical evidence, and the witness, if Yan Huan's words are true, is his servant in the palace.

Yan Xun couldn't guess who it was for a while, but after a while, a maid came to the hall. This maid was mediocre, but she was Wang Shu who was serving him and pouring tea and ink for him.

Yan Xun was afraid for a while, unexpectedly, the person who testified that he poisoned and murdered Yan Xun was actually Wang Shu. This Wang Shu has been by his side for five years. It is easy as pie.

Wang Shu didn't dare to look at Yan Xun, and knelt down on the ground.

Zhou Co patted the gavel: "Who is in the hall?"

Wang Shu replied: "The Fuyu Palace serves the Queen."

Fuyu Hall is the palace where Yan Xun lived.

Zhou Co then ordered the yamen servant to hand the white porcelain bottle to Wang Shu, and said, "Wang Shu, do you know this?"

Wang Shu nodded and said: "Naturally, this thing belongs to the Second Highness, Second Highness..."

She said, trembling all over, with tears in her eyes, she glanced at Yan Xun in surprise and fear and said: "The Second Highness usually treats me very generously, and this servant never thought that the Second Highness would actually kill brothers for the sake of the throne." !"
