The moment Chu Yan stood up, Su Yan's heart skipped a beat. She had an intuition that the matter was not that simple. Princess Jinyang and Marquis Weiyuan also looked at Chu Yan nervously.
At this moment, all eyes in the room were fixed on Chu Yan.
The emperor was obviously taken aback, looked at Chu Yan and asked, "What's going on?"
Qin Wang calmly drank a glass of wine, thinking to himself that Chu Yan is smart and knows how to be reactive and take the initiative, but it's a pity...
Chu Ruofei's eyes flickered, and he raised his head and drank a glass of wine, barely calming down the ups and downs in his heart.
"I also want to know what's going on here." Chu Yan said, and he removed the hidden guard's chin with his backhand, took out the cloth, checked his mouth, and closed the hidden guard again after confirming that there was no poison hidden. jaw.
The dark guard moved his jaw, and spat bloody spit on the ground.
Chu Yan looked at the dark guard coldly: "It seems that you were bought by someone?"
The emperor watched the situation at Chu Yan with a sullen face. He still trusted Chu Yan and was willing to believe that Chu Yan was framed for the time being, so he was now quietly watching the development of the situation and observing Chu Yan's reaction.
The dark guard suddenly sneered and said, "Didn't the prince say that he would keep his subordinates safe after the incident happened? What do you mean by saying that now? Do you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge?"
Su Yan frowned and looked at the situation on the field, her heart was clenched with the change of the situation.
"I don't know what to say." Chu Yan sneered: "As you said, it was an order from my son. After you succeed, the safest place for you to go is to return to my son, not to escape from the palace."
The dark guard retorted with staring eyes: "My hand was cut when I smashed the wine jar. I was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so I ran away in a panic!"
The emperor looked at Mu Ruhai, Mu Ruhai nodded and said, "It is true."
Only then did the emperor's eyes turn to Chu Yan again.
"You have been with me for four years, so you should be familiar with my rules. When you were caught, why didn't you kill yourself immediately instead of giving others a chance to interrogate you?" Chu Yan added the moment the hidden guard spoke. : "Don't say it's too late, for example, now, you have every chance to bite your tongue and kill yourself."
The dark guard was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly closed his eyes, with an expression of death.
Before the hidden guard moved his mouth, Chu Yan's hand had already removed his chin one step ahead of him.
Chu Yan looked at the hidden guard mockingly: "The person who bought you didn't teach you how to collude a confession before? It's full of loopholes, it's embarrassing."
As he said that, Chu Yan turned back and bowed to the emperor, "Today's matter has nothing to do with me. I don't understand why that person planted the ground on me. Next, Lord Jia should investigate the case according to the law."
In the eyes of others, Chu Yan looked upright.
But the emperor was suspicious by nature, and the emperor frowned, out of emotion, the emperor did not want to believe that Chu Yan did this. But this secret guard is indeed Chu Yan's. Many times, the evidence is convincing to make people doubtful, but it is the secret guard who is full of loopholes that makes people more convinced. After all, if someone really bought him, he should be taught to cheat. made a confession.
The emperor was still unable to make a decision for a while, so he greeted the minister of Dali Temple and said, "Forget it, come here, take this guard down for more interrogation! As for Prince Jing's son..." The emperor hesitated for a moment, obviously still not thinking about how to deal with Chu for the time being. Yan.
The time has come.
King Qin put down his wine glass and gave Chu Ruofei a look.
Chu Ruofei glanced at Chu Yan, then stood up suddenly: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."
The emperor turned his head to look at Chu Ruofei, thinking that he was interceding for Chu Yan: "Say."
Chu Ruofei bowed to the emperor, and then walked from his seat to Chu Yan's side. He looked a little emotional: "Chu Yan, let's have a brotherhood. If what I said next is wrong, I will tell you later." I apologize to you, but if I'm right... the brotherhood between the two of us will be severed from now on!"
The emperor squinted his eyes and realized that what Chu Ruofei was going to say was not simple.
Chu Yan looked at Chu Ruofei in surprise, and asked with his eyes, as if he didn't know what he meant by saying such a sentence suddenly.
Avoiding Chu Yan's gaze, Chu Ruofei said to the emperor, "A few days ago, Chu Yan told the minister privately that he heard the rumor that King Qin would be appointed as the crown prince. He felt very uneasy, and now he wants to Think, that might really be his motive."
Chu Yan interrupted him, looked at Chu Ruofei inexplicably and asked, "When did I tell you these words?"
Su Yan's complexion changed drastically, she frowned and looked at Chu Ruofei, she suddenly thought of the secret conversation between him and King Qin in the plum grove of Prince Yan's mansion that day, she suddenly understood, and suddenly turned to look at King Qin.
King Qin felt Su Yan's gaze, turned his head and suddenly smiled at Su Yan.
Su Yan's heart sank, and she almost held her breath to pay attention to the situation on stage again. She knew in her heart that King Qin had come prepared and would never let Chu Yan go easily. It was still unknown whether Chu Yan would be able to get away safely this time.
Looking at Su Yan's tense pretty face, King Qin suddenly felt an inexplicable pleasure in his heart.
Chu Ruofei took a deep breath, with a tangled expression, but even more grief: "We are brothers, Chu Yan, tell me the truth, did you do this?"
Chu Yan looked at Chu Ruofei in bewilderment. Judging from his expression, it seemed that it was a particularly inconceivable thing for Chu Ruofei to stand up and accuse him: "Cousin, what are you talking nonsense? , this matter has something to do with you too?"
Chu Ruofei seemed to be in a hurry, and he retorted: "I didn't! Chu Yan! If you did other things, as an elder brother, I could cover you up, but this matter can't work! My father is still in a coma Don’t wake up, what you’re doing is killing your father and king! It’s a treasonous act!”
After hearing Chu Ruofei's words, the emperor immediately abandoned his original thoughts in his mind, and believed in Chu Ruofei's words.
Apart from being cousins, Chu Ruofei and Chu Yan are still cousins, and they have been like one since childhood. In the emperor's perception, Chu Ruofei's affairs were always upright, and he would never wrong Chu Yan.
Princess Jinyang's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe what she saw: "Ruofei! Do you know what you're talking about?"
Chu Ruofei looked at Princess Jinyang and didn't explain much, just bowed apologetically and said, "Aunt."
The emperor raised his hand to stop Chu Ruofei, and looked at Chu Yan with a livid face: "Chu Yan, what do you want to say?"
"This matter was not done by the minister, and the minister will not admit it." Facing the emperor's questioning, Chu Yan's reaction was still indifferent: "As for why my cousin said such words to slander me, I don't know."
The emperor was furious and shouted: "Chu Yan! You are so courageous! Anyone who accuses you now is slandering you?"
