The daughter of the emperor is beautiful and holds the power over the world
Chapter 137 Si Yan Investigates the Truth
No one expected that something like this would happen at the New Year's Eve palace banquet.
In full view of everyone, someone actually poisoned Prince Yong.
The genius doctor Yunya took out a few small white porcelain bottles, poured out a few pills from them, and gave them to King Yong to eat. Gradually, the nosebleed for King Yong stopped. The genius doctor Yunya immediately wrote a prescription and asked someone to get the medicine.
He could cure the poison, but Prince Yong already had a health condition, and now he was poisoned again, which damaged his body again and had a great impact on his recovery.
Prince Yong hadn't felt anything unusual before, but now he felt a little unwell. There was a sweet and fishy taste in his throat, and his breathing was a little difficult...
Prince Yong spat out the blood in his mouth, and the genius doctor Yunya gave him some acupuncture. After a lot of effort, the toxins in Prince Yong's body were finally under control, but he felt sore and weak, and had no strength.
Qi Ziyu knew that he was now a thorn in the eyes of the Imperial Noble Consort and the Prime Minister's faction. The more the power of Prince Yong's Mansion grew, the more dangerous his life would be.
A Yan had reminded him many times and asked Yun Qiao to follow him all the time.
He had also been extremely careful and had not touched anything at today's palace banquet. Only when his father and the court officials toasted together did he have to drink a few glasses of wine.
Yunqiao has checked these glasses of wine and they are not poisonous!
After completing his diagnosis, Divine Doctor Yunya addressed the Emperor, "Your Majesty, Prince Yong is now out of harm's way. This poison doesn't take effect instantly. Depending on the dosage, it could take two quarters of an hour, or even half an hour, to take effect. Fortunately, it was discovered in time. If it had been a little later, Prince Yong would have died."
If Yunqiao had not been with Prince Yong and quickly gave him an antidote pill, Prince Yong might have died of the poison.
The emperor's face was gloomy as he walked back to the dragon throne and sat down. He knew exactly who had poisoned Prince Yong, but what he needed now was evidence.
The emperor clenched his right fist and pounded it heavily on the dragon throne: "Until the matter of Prince Yong's poisoning is thoroughly investigated today, no one can leave the palace."
Si Yan stepped out and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, please leave this matter to me. I will definitely find out who poisoned Prince Yong."
Prime Minister Xin Rui immediately stepped forward and said, "I'm afraid it's inappropriate for Miss Si Yan to investigate this case. Although Miss Si Yan is a skilled martial artist and could kill a tiger from the Northern Mang Kingdom, she probably knows nothing about handling cases. In my opinion, we should hand it over to the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court for a joint investigation."
Song Yi, the Minister of Rites, quickly followed up, saying, "Yes, Your Majesty, this is a major matter for the Ministry of Justice..."
"Leave this matter to Si Yan." The emperor made the decision without waiting for Song Yi to finish. "Si Yan is a first-rank female official in front of me. I trust her."
Xin Rui was stunned for a moment and said nothing more.
Si Zhengxuan bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I, an old minister, also trust my own daughter."
"Your Majesty, I, the minister, trust Miss Si." Yan Longyi said.
"Your Majesty, your servant Ling Mohan also trusts Si Yan."
"Chen Siqingshan trusts my sister."
"I trust Miss Si Yan." Prince An Qi Guang'an also stood up to support Si Yan.
"Your Majesty, I also trust Ah Yan." Qi Ziyu did not hesitate to call Si Yan Ah Yan in public, and his trust in Si Yan was beyond words.
Everyone then realized that even though the two had broken off their engagement, the trust between them had not diminished in the slightest.
Although King Yong's forces were small, each of them was righteous and domineering. Not only did they dare to stand up to deal with the warriors of the Beimang Kingdom, they also tightly twisted themselves into a rope to form a powerful force.
The emperor felt relieved to hear so many people supporting Si Yan.
Although this girl stands out from the crowd, she has people who fully support her.
The emperor glanced at Xin Rui, then at the Imperial Noble Consort below him, and then at Si Yan: "Go ahead and investigate. I've got your back. No matter what you find out, or who it's linked to, it doesn't matter."
The emperor's words made the imperial concubine shudder all over. His Majesty almost called out the names of the two siblings.
However, it is understandable that the old emperor suspected them.
After all, if Prince Yong died, Prince Xin would become the only candidate for the crown prince, and they would be the ones who benefited the most.
But for such a big thing, even Your Majesty cannot convict them at will without evidence.
What a pity! It was such a good opportunity, but Prince Yong was not poisoned to death.
It’s all that damned genius doctor Yunya and his apprentice.
Si Yan bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. Si Yan will tell you the truth today."
After saying this, Si Yan glanced sharply at the four people present. "Everyone, the poisoning of His Royal Highness Prince Yong is a serious matter. Before the truth is revealed, everyone here is a suspect. However, I already have some clues, so let's start investigating now."
Everyone couldn't help but feel strange. Si Yan already had a clue?
Si Yan first said to Divine Doctor Yunya, "Please ask Divine Doctor Yunya to check the food and wine that Prince Yong ate to see if there is any poison in them."
Divine Doctor Yunya nodded, carefully inspected the items on the table, and frowned, saying, "The wine remaining in this glass is poisonous."
Yunqiao was stunned and hurried forward to check the wine glass. Prince Yong had just drunk this glass of wine.
He checked the wine in the glass before drinking it and found it was not poisonous.
Yunqiao couldn't help but say in surprise: "Master, I checked this wine before, and it wasn't poisonous at that time."
Divine Doctor Yunya spoke calmly, "This isn't surprising. The poison in this wine isn't easily apparent, and it's difficult to detect with just the sense of smell."
Yunqiao looked puzzled. He not only smelled it, but also tasted a little, but found no poison.
Si Yan said softly, "It's not necessarily that Yunqiao didn't notice it. It's possible that when Yunqiao checked, the wine in the cup wasn't poisonous yet, but when Prince Yong drank it, it was poisonous."
Si Yan turned to look at Qi Ziyu, "Prince Yong, who was responsible for pouring this wine for you? When did Yunqiao inspect the wine?"
"I poured it myself." Qi Ziyu was afraid of something going wrong, so he didn't let the eunuchs and palace maids get involved.
Yunqiao said, "I checked it right after the prince poured the wine, because I didn't know when the prince would drink it."
When Yunqiao checked the wine, he would also taste it himself. If it was too late, it would be too late.
Yunqiao suddenly realized that this also gave some people an opportunity to take advantage of.
Si Yan asked, "After returning from the martial arts training ground, did you check the wine in Prince Yong's cup?"
Yunqiao nodded and said, "I checked it."
Si Yan said nothing. He glanced at everyone in the hall and said coldly, "According to the inference made by Divine Doctor Yunya, Prince Yong was poisoned after we returned from the martial arts training ground. Someone must have poisoned Prince Yong's wine. Before that, everything was fine."
Divine Doctor Yunya nodded and said, "That's right, it should be when everyone returns to the palace for the banquet."
Si Yan's expression was calm. "That is to say, the person who poisoned the king may not have intended to kill him before, but after returning from the martial arts training ground, he had murderous intentions towards him and wanted to get rid of him. Therefore, he ordered people to do it as soon as he returned."
Si Yan raised his eyes slightly and said calmly, "As for who had the murderous intention towards Prince Yong in the martial arts training ground, we will find out soon."
Si Yan didn't need to explain, the court officials also knew that those who wanted to kill Prince Yong were none other than the Imperial Noble Consort and the Prime Minister. Now it all depended on whether they could find evidence.
Si Yan's expression was stern. "Unfortunately, during the time when everyone left the palace banquet to go to the martial arts training ground, I sent someone to keep an eye on Prince Yong's seat to prevent anyone from tampering. During this time, anyone who came to Prince Yong's seat, please step forward!"
As soon as Si Yan finished speaking, the hall fell silent. Several palace maids and eunuchs exchanged glances with each other and bit their lips lightly.
After a while, a palace maid mustered up the courage to stand up and said, "Master Si... Si Yan, I went to the banquet where Prince Yong was sitting. I saw that the dishes in front of Prince Yong were untouched. I thought that they were not to his liking, so I replaced some of the dishes for him. However, I absolutely did not poison him."
