The daughter of the emperor is beautiful and holds the power over the world

There was a moment of silence in the hall. The court officials were silent and Jia Zhongchun didn't know how to start.

They had no idea what exactly happened in the prince's bedroom.

At this moment, Ding Guogong said: "The Queen Mother is the mother of a country. It is really not appropriate for her to be tied up. Even if the Queen Mother is guilty, she should be convicted before being punished. The Queen Mother and the King of England should be untied."

No one moved in the hall. The officers and soldiers of the Zuowei Mansion only obeyed Ling Mohan's orders, and Ling Mohan only obeyed Si Yan and the prince's orders.

The ministers looked at Si Yan, and Si Yan raised his eyes slightly to Ling Mohan.

"Duke Dingguo is right. Untie the Queen Mother and King Ying as well."

Ling Mohan waved his hand, and Yi Jiangfeng led his men forward to untie the empress dowager.

Duke Dingguo took the risk to say this today. He knew very well that the court was now under the control of Si Yan.

He didn't expect Si Yan to give him so much face, and he couldn't help but look up to this young woman.

Si Zhengxuan was the only person in the previous emperor's period who had been against the Xin family from beginning to end. I think his daughter would not be bad either.

After the Queen Mother was untied, she cried even harder: "I have never been humiliated like this in my life."

Prince Qi Hongyuan of England also wiped his tears and said, "I have never suffered such humiliation. I originally came to help save the prince."

Duke Dingguo raised his eyelids and said sternly, "Queen Dowager, calm down, King Ying, calm down. The truth of the matter will soon be revealed."

"Thank you, Duke Dingguo, for upholding justice." The Queen Mother wiped her tears and pointed to the chicken soup beside her. She said to the ministers, "The Crown Prince was poisoned and nearly died because of the chicken soup that Si Yan had brought him."

Si Yan glanced at the Queen Mother and asked, "How did the Queen Mother know that the Crown Prince drank chicken soup?"

"The chicken soup is right here. Let the imperial physician check it to see if it's poisonous."

Duke Dingguo raised his eyes to look at Si Yan: "May I ask, Lord Si Yan, was the prince poisoned by the chicken soup?"

"Yes." Si Yan replied.

But only she, the prince, and Aju knew about this matter.

The Queen Mother couldn't wait to say that the chicken soup was poisonous, which means that she knew it in advance.

"Who brought the chicken soup?" Duke Dingguo continued to ask.

"It was brought by Si Ru, a disciple of Yunya Divine Doctor who has been treating the prince's old illness. She is known as the Little Divine Doctor. Si Ru is my adopted sister."

Si Yan introduced Si Ru's identity in detail.

After hearing this, everyone fell into silence.

If this Miss Si Ru really wanted to poison the Crown Prince, she would have had the opportunity at any time. There was no need to do it so openly...

Duke Dingguo said calmly, "Does the Queen Mother think that it was Miss Si Ru who poisoned the Crown Prince?"

"Who else could it be but her?" the Empress Dowager cried. "She brought the chicken soup, and she and Si Yan were the only two people in the palace at the time. I can't imagine there was anyone else."

"Why do they want to harm the crown prince?" Duke Dingguo asked calmly, "What are their goals and motives?"

The Empress Dowager was silent for a moment: "I guess that Si Yan might be trying to usurp the throne..."

Duke Dingguo's eyes grew sharp. "Then Si Yan shouldn't have poisoned the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince dies, the only prince born to the late Emperor left alive is King Ying. Only King Ying can ascend the throne, but if King Ying ascends the throne, it will do Si Yan no good at all."

"Yes, yes..." The court officials nodded in agreement, believing that Duke Dingguo was right.

Everyone knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince obeys Si Yan's orders, and the two of them work together very well.

Why did Si Yan go to great lengths to kill the prince and help the King of England?

If Si Yan really wanted to help the King of England, he would not have become an enemy of the Queen Mother.

As for the claim that Si Yan wanted to usurp the throne, that was sheer nonsense. Si Yan wouldn't try to seize the throne in broad daylight, right?

The Queen Mother couldn't help but feel panicked and tried her best to calm herself down.

At this moment, Duke Pei said, "In my opinion, the person who poisoned the Crown Prince must be someone who supports King Ying. The Queen Mother is the King Ying's biological mother, and she led troops to forcefully enter the Crown Prince's bedroom. The Queen Mother is the biggest suspect."

The Queen Mother shouted angrily, "Duke Pei, you must have evidence when you speak!"

"The Queen Mother wants evidence?" Si Yan chuckled, "Give it to the Queen Mother."

Si Yan turned to look at Duke Dingguo: "Your Excellency, the Crown Prince has just been poisoned, and the Queen Mother led the Imperial Guards into the Crown Prince's bedroom. This is indeed very suspicious. I hope that Duke Dingguo will agree to let me strictly interrogate the people around the Queen Mother."

"It should be so." Duke Dingguo nodded and agreed.

The Empress Dowager quickly said, "My Lord, I came here because I was worried about Yu'er's health, and Si Yan wouldn't let me in, so I forced my way in."

The Queen Mother cried, "I am Yu'er's mother, would I harm my own son?"

"After all, the crown prince is not the Queen Mother's biological son, but the King of England. We don't know what the Queen Mother is thinking, so we'd better investigate." Duke Pei said calmly.

Duke Dingguo nodded and said, "The people around the Queen Mother should be investigated."

Seeing that Duke Dingguo no longer spoke up for her, the Queen Mother couldn't help but shout towards the inner hall.

"Where's the Crown Prince? I want to see him. I want to ask him if he wants to interrogate me, his mother?"

Si Yan ignored her and said to Ling Mohan, "Take people over and bring everyone from the Queen Mother's Palace here."

"Yes." Ling Mohan took the order and immediately led his men to the central palace.

The Queen Mother cried to the inner hall, "Prince, I worked so hard to raise you, and you just watch them wrongly bully me?"

The curtain of the inner hall was lifted, and Qi Ziyu walked out with the support of Si Ru.

Everyone looked up and saw that the prince's face was pale, with a hint of black between his brows.

The Queen Mother was stunned. She really didn't expect that Qi Ziyu didn't die from such a strong poison.

Prince Ying Qi Hongyuan was also stunned. His mother had said that the crown prince must die and the throne would be his...

Qi Ziyu's complexion, like when he was first poisoned, had improved by who knows how much, but he still looked weak, as if he was about to collapse in the next second.

Duke Dingguo and the other ministers knelt upon seeing the Crown Prince, saying, "Your Highness, we pay our respects to you. May you live a thousand years, a thousand thousand years."

All the ministers knew very well that as long as the prince was still alive, the throne of Daxuan would definitely belong to him.

With the assistance of Si Yan and Si Zhengxuan, as well as the full support of Prince An Qi Guang'an and Imperial Censor Jia Zhongchun, the prince is even more powerful.

"Your Excellency the Duke, please stand up. Ministers, please stand up." Qi Ziyu said gently.

After the voice fell, Qi Ziyu spoke again: "Give Lord Si Yan a seat, give the Crown Prince's tutor a seat, and give Prince An a seat."

Eunuch Gu quickly had three more chairs brought in, one for Si Yan next to the prince, and the other two for Si Zhengxuan and Prince An in the hall.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she knew that Qi Ziyu was biased.

He didn't say anything about giving her, the queen mother, a seat, which meant that he no longer believed in her.
