After being struck by lightning and being in the world of women
Chapter 196: Yan Shijun committed suicide out of fear of punishment
Everyone looked at Zhong Huaiqi, with different expressions in their eyes.
The eldest princess Zhong Sihuang also had an extremely complicated look in her eyes, but because Zhong Huaiqi was her daughter, she opened her mouth but said nothing.
The third princess, Zhong Jinhuang, is the oldest princess besides the eldest princess, and she also has power in her hands.
Zhong Ruhuang looked at Zhong Huaiqi, who looked calm but still had a spirited look. She narrowed her eyes slightly but kept a calm expression on her face.
The Sixth Princess was not convinced even by the First Princess, so how could she possibly be convinced by a young girl like Zhong Huaiqi?
The seventh princess' situation is not that complicated. She is just thinking about how to protect her family.
The eighth princess Zhong Zhenhuang had a grim look in her eyes.
The ninth princess, Zhong Wenhuang, is young and the most outspoken of the princesses. She looks as if she really dislikes Zhong Huaiqi.
After Zhong Huaiqi came in, he did not bow to these imperial aunts, but acted as if he was waiting for them to bow to him.
The eldest princess is her mother, so it is impossible for her to pay her respects.
So, led by the three princesses, they started a subtle confrontation with Zhong Huaiqi.
For a moment, no one spoke, and even the cries of the men in Emperor Showa's harem gradually died down.
As Zhong Huaiqi's personal female supervisor, Lou Yi shook the whisk in her hand and said with a fake smile, "I, your servant, pay my respects to your Highnesses."
As he spoke, he performed a very standard salute.
Then she spoke again.
"Now that His Majesty has passed away, my princess is the granddaughter of the Crown Prince personally appointed by His Majesty. She is the future empress of Qinglan. According to the rules, Her Majesty is the most honorable, so please pay your respects."
As soon as Lou Yi said this, the voices in the spirit hall fell silent.
Huang Guifu, Xiao Jinshi, and Zhang Xianfu all stood up.
The Imperial Noble Wife, Xiao Jin, angrily rebuked: "You want my child to pay respects, fine, then please tell me how the Emperor passed away? Even the eunuch Hou who was by the Emperor's side was not here? Why is that?"
Not to mention Zhong Ruhuang's suspicion, even the imperial concubine Xiao Jin, who was also in the palace, was very suspicious.
He is no longer favored by His Majesty, but he holds power in the palace. He is always the first to know about any disturbance in the palace.
After the birthday banquet yesterday, His Majesty ordered Yan Shi to sleep with him, so how come he suddenly passed away?
As Zhong Huaiqi's personal female prisoner, Lou Yi is quite capable.
Facing the questioning of the Imperial Noble Wife Xiao Jin, she said calmly, "Your Majesty must have died of an old illness."
"You said it was? I was in charge of the palace, but I never saw His Majesty for the last time, and I didn't even see his body. You buried His Majesty without telling me. I have reason to suspect that you killed His Majesty."
Xiao Jin has been in charge of the palace for many years and is no pushover.
Originally, Emperor Zhaohe was dissatisfied with the fact that he made Zhong Huaiqi the Crown Prince's granddaughter.
In his opinion, his daughter Zhong Qihuang was no worse than the others.
Now, facing Zhong Huaiqi, the granddaughter of the Crown Prince personally appointed by His Majesty, he is not afraid, but instead is aggressive.
Lou Yi heard this and said, "Royal husband, please be careful with your words. Your Highness is the noble granddaughter of the Crown Prince. How could she possibly harm Your Majesty? Among them..."
She looked as if she dared not say more.
At first glance, it is clear that there must be something hidden behind this.
Zhong Huaiqi let Lou Yi talk to Xiao Jin, while she stood there quietly.
Zhong Ruhuang glanced at Zhong Huaiqi and felt that there was something wrong with this man. He was a petty-minded person.
Why is it so quiet now?
Or was it really she who killed Emperor Showa?
Since Zhong Huaiqi was named the Crown Prince's Granddaughter, she has lived in the palace and is indeed better-informed than them.
Apart from the Ninth Princess, she has the best chance.
At this moment, looking at Lou Yi's expression, it seemed like there was another reason.
Zhong Ruhuang secretly observed the expressions of everyone present.
Including the eldest princess, everyone felt that there was something wrong with Emperor Showa's death.
Seeing that Lou Yi hesitated to speak, Xiao Jin became even angrier.
"Damned captive servant, tell me, what's going on here?"
Lou Yi hesitated and stammered: "This... let's not talk about it."
Zhang Xianfu was also observing everyone when Xiao Jin was making a fuss.
At this moment, seeing that there was indeed some hidden story behind Emperor Showa's death, people quickly came to lend their voice.
"Tell me, what's the secret?"
He is the biological father of the third princess, Zhong Jinhuang, and his words also carry weight.
"Well... please, Your Highnesses and Masters, please clear the room."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin was slightly stunned, but still asked her personal palace servant Pei Yu to leave.
Zhang Xianfu also asked his personal palace servant Mo Yu to go out.
The three princesses also sent their personal female guards down.
Soon, only Huang Guifu Xiao Jin, Zhang Xianfu and others were left in the huge mourning hall.
There are also seven princesses including the eldest princess.
"Okay, now there are no outsiders. Let's talk."
Seeing this, Lou Yi couldn't help but look at Zhong Huaiqi and got her nod.
"Your Majesty was actually killed by Servant Yan. In order to gain your Majesty's favor, he fumigated her with aphrodisiac spices."
Lou Yi's words were immediately shocking.
"impossible."
The eighth princess Zhong Zhenhuang was the first one who didn't believe it.
Doesn't she know what kind of person her own father is?
He is an extremely cautious person and would never do such a thing.
Besides, her father is already over 40 years old and has long stopped vying for favor.
Lou Yi was not afraid of the Eighth Princess at all. He sneered and said, "I am not lying. Your Majesty was indeed killed by Servant Yan. Because of excessive sexual intercourse, Your Majesty had a stroke and died."
"You are presumptuous."
The Eighth Princess would not believe this.
She looked at Louie angrily, wishing she could break her neck.
If her father were convicted of this crime, her reputation as the eighth princess would be ruined.
"Where is my father? I want to hear what he has to say."
She wouldn't believe Louie's one-sided story.
When the imperial wife Xiao Jin heard what Lou Yi said, she didn't believe it in her heart.
However, he still had feelings for Emperor Showa and did not want her to bear such a reputation.
"As for Servant Yan, I don't believe Servant Yan would do such a thing."
They had to figure out what was going on.
What's more, even if something happened to His Majesty, he, the royal husband, must be notified according to etiquette.
But he received no news and was kept in the dark.
Zhang Xianfu said, "Yes, let Yan Shijun come out. What about Hou Dajian? His Majesty must have some last words."
There are so many men in the harem, Your Majesty can't just leave nothing behind.
"This..." Lou Yi hesitated and said, "Yan Shijun has committed suicide out of fear of punishment."
In short, there is no evidence.
The eighth princess Zhong Zhenhuang was angry.
"What did you say? My father committed suicide out of fear of punishment? How is that possible?"
She immediately grabbed Lou Yi's collar, extremely angry.
The Eighth Princess had a good relationship with Emperor Showa, but she was closest to her father, Yan Shijun.
When he heard that his father was gone, he was furious.
