Chapter 195 Female Supreme Yuanjun 18
When Yang Yan began to slowly improve the status of men in the country, the spy in Rufu Palace sent news that Qi Ziqian put chronic poison in the emperor's diet every day.
He didn't feel strange at all when he heard the news. Qi Ziqian was a vicious person by nature. The original owner was tortured very miserably by him in the cold palace in his previous life. The methods he used to deal with Yu Shuwen were also very cruel.
The original owner was not the kind of person who liked to torture people. Although Yu Shuwen was arrogant and domineering, he was instigated by Le Xiaoyu to only regard the original owner as an enemy. Although he suppressed other ministers, he didn't go too far.
These two people just blocked Qi Ziqian's way, but he hated them so much. The emperor really tortured him, how could he not resent it?
He was able to endure for a whole year before taking action. Yang Yan felt that he should praise him for his progress!
Ordering his men to stay put, Yang Yan waited for a month to poison the emperor, and only when he continued to do so did he send food that was incompatible with the poison.
Soon the emperor vomited blood and fainted, and summoned the imperial physician. After more than a year, he set foot in Rufu Palace for the first time, ready to deal with the people all at once.
This was also the first time Qi Ziqian saw the now world-famous Yuan Jun since the incident in the palace.
His clothes were no longer the complicated phoenix robes, but the simple and capable style of women. As he strode forward, his aura was stronger than that of a woman, and his ugly and vulgar appearance and figure became solemn and unattainable.
And he himself was forced to kneel on the ground full of filth, looking so humble. Is this the power brought by power?
Qi Ziqian felt ashamed for a moment, and wished there was a hole in the ground so that he could get in immediately.
Unfortunately, even such a small idea has become impossible. The emperor did not die silently as he wished, but suddenly poisoned and asked the imperial physician to find out. As the first suspect, he needs to wait for trial.
What is the result waiting for him?
When doing it before, Qi Ziqian felt that there would be no mistakes. After all, the emperor was already sick, and the imperial physician had already determined that she would not live for a few years. Even if she died suddenly, no one would be surprised.
Now, for some reason, she would have an attack in advance and it was so violent. If someone found out that she was poisoned, how could he clear himself?
In an instant, all kinds of tortures such as lingchi, five horses dismembering, and waist beheading flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help shaking.
Qi Ziqian regretted it. He shouldn't be so reckless. The emperor would not live long, at most three to five years. He should continue to endure it and wait until she died, so that he would be relieved. What's more, he harmed himself for her life?
"Tell me, what happened?" Disliking the unpleasant smell in the room, Yang Yan arranged the trial location outside the palace. Soon someone brought a chair in a conspicuous way. He sat down and asked directly.
The imperial physician first reported the emperor's condition. She had suffered a great crime this time. The poison was added to the poison. Her already weak body was even more thoroughly defeated. It was estimated that she would not be able to live for two years, and she would not be able to get up in the future. She could only lie paralyzed in bed.
Hearing this, Yang Yan tried hard to control her facial expression and did not laugh out loud on the spot. What a good end for the scum emperor! Being paralyzed in bed was worse than death, but it was a pity that she could only be tortured for two years.
He had no expression on his face and no sadness. No one found it strange. After all, there was no one in the court who did not know that the emperor was not in harmony with him.
The palace servants came forward to report the results of the investigation. There were witnesses and evidence, as well as poison found in Ningyun Palace. The person who poisoned was undoubtedly the noble Qi Ziqian. This time, even if he had a mouth all over his body, he couldn't explain it clearly, not to mention that he only had one mouth and couldn't make a sound.
"Noble," Yang Yan asked coldly, "what else do you have to say?"
Someone immediately presented him with paper and pen. Qi Ziqian's mind was in a mess, and the tip of the pen was hanging there. He didn't know how to get out of it.
"It seems that there is nothing to say," Yang Yan said with patience running out, "Then put him in the sky prison and wait for the emperor to wake up and deal with him personally!"
Qi Ziqian was shocked and hurriedly wrote a few big words on the paper: [I want to see the crown princess. ]
With the emperor's current attitude towards him, he will definitely not let him go after knowing what he did. Now the only one who can save him is his daughter. Even if his behavior may arouse Yuan Jun's suspicion, he can't care at this point.
Tsk! This man is going to drag his own daughter into the water! I really overestimated their "father-daughter love".
Yang Yan nodded calmly and ordered: "Go and ask the crown princess to come over."
Speaking of which, he and this cheap daughter have not seen each other for more than a year, longer than the emperor. Since she was poisoned, he has never been to the East Palace, nor has he summoned her.
The crown princess thought that he was still the original owner who cared for her very much, and she was angry with him because he ignored her. Even before the palace coup, she could not sit still even if she could go out.
After the emperor was poisoned and fell, she must have been unable to sit still. She came to the door several times to ask for an audience, but he never let her in once. After that, he probably had some guesses and slowly stopped coming.
The little girl was scared. She was suspicious all day long, thinking that someone was going to harm her. She didn't like to go out and stayed in her East Palace all day, and became particularly sensitive.
Many people in the Eastern Palace were sentenced to death by her, but Yang Yan ordered people to deal with them in the same way as in the Fu Palace, so that too much killing was not in vain.
The princess arrived not very fast. Logically, the East Palace was the closest to the Rufu Palace, but it took her twice as long to arrive.
"I pay my respects to my father." The princess bowed with a weak breath. The moment Yang Yan saw her, he could not believe that this was the girl who was full of energy two years ago.
She was so thin that she was almost skin and bones. The princess's clothes were empty on her body, as if they could be blown away by a gust of wind.
Her face, which was originally rosy and a little chubby, was now pale, with no flesh on her cheeks, her lips were pale and almost white, her eyes were lifeless, and she was also filled with deep fear.
She was like a frightened bird, and the slightest movement could scare her to death.
If any other girl of the same age stood here, Yang Yan would definitely feel sympathy, but thinking of how she treated the original owner in her previous life, it was difficult for him to sympathize.
"I think you already know what happened here," Yang Yan still had an expressionless look on his face, and said lightly, "The guilty man Qi Ziqian will not confess until he sees you, go and talk to him."
"Yes." Seeing that there was no fluctuation in her eyes, the princess was a little unwilling, but she didn't dare to have any opinions, so she just answered honestly.
Qi Ziqian was so excited when she appeared that he wanted to rush over immediately, but he was held by someone and couldn't do it. When he saw his daughter turning to him, his eyes were filled with tears.
This is his daughter, the princess he placed his only hope on, why did she become like this? What's the matter with Yuanjun? He raised her to be white and strong, but he couldn't even take care of a child!
"I wonder why you want to see me?" The princess looked at the embarrassed man on the ground with a faint warning in her eyes, "You have solid evidence of murdering my mother. No one can save you. Even if you try to frame me, it depends on whether anyone believes you."
In her short sentence, she explained to everyone why you wanted to see her at this time, and told him clearly that she could not save him. She also warned him not to threaten her. Only those who knew the inside story could hear it.
Qi Ziqian's excitement calmed down instantly. She was right. Murdering the emperor was a serious crime. Even the princess could not save him.
He knew it very well in his heart, but he was unwilling. This daughter could give him a mute drug. Why should he help and protect her?
But she was his own flesh and blood after all, and it was because of his momentary negligence that she became like this. Did he really want to drag her into the water and die together?
Qi Ziqian's heart wavered. After hesitating for a long time, he looked at the pleading look in his daughter's eyes, and finally the little bit of fatherly kindness that remained prevailed.
[To be disrespectful, I have always treated the princess as my own daughter, so I want to see her for the last time before leaving. ]
Seeing such a paragraph on the paper, the princess breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously: "I thank you for your love when I was young. I will plead with my mother to try my best to win a decent position for you, which is also a good intention of yours."
[Thank you, princess. ] Qi Ziqian left three words, and finally looked at his daughter deeply, and was taken away by the guards.
After the others left, the princess walked back to Yuanjun and expressed her concern for her mother. Her voice was ups and downs, and her expression was in place, pretending to be so serious.
Yang Yan was too lazy to watch her performance, so he waved his hand and said, "The princess is not in good health, so go back to the East Palace and have a good rest!" Then he sent her away.
The princess had something on her mind, so she took her leave. When she returned, she called her trusted subordinates and told them to bribe the people in the prison to break Guiqing's hands, so that he could not write anymore to feel at ease.
Unfortunately, the people she thought she trusted were all spies sent by Yang Yan, and the matter was reported to him.
After ordering people to do as she wanted, Yang Yan couldn't help but sneer. She was so cruel at such a young age.
But it's not surprising. As cold as Le Xiaoyu and as cruel as Qi Ziqian, the child born by these two people was not well taught when she was young. Can you expect her to be a good thing?
It's just that Qi Ziqian rarely has a kind fatherly heart, but he turns around and finds that his biological daughter doesn't dare to believe him at all. I don't know how he will feel when his hands are broken?
In short, you reap what you sow. Now all of this is caused by him, so he should bear the consequences himself.
