Chapter 320 Is There Something Wrong with the Medicine?

As expected by Yan Li.

That night, rumors began to spread in the streets and alleys outside the imperial city that "the princess is the return of the phoenix and can drive the eagle". The rumor spread from one child to another, and even some children began to make up nursery rhymes.

Almost everyone in Shengjing, from the first-rank prime minister to the eighth-rank secretary, from the princes of the clan to the dandy boys, knew about it. Of course, not all officials heard it in person, but the servants of the major mansions took the initiative to report it to the master.

If it were in the past, under such intense rumors, impeachment memorials would fly to the imperial desk like snowflakes, requesting the emperor and the queen to issue an order to thoroughly investigate the rumormongers and resolutely put an end to the wanton spread of such rumors.

However, because of the Taohua Mountain incident that just happened today, the Shangshu Mansion of Hou Qi was confiscated and imprisoned, and the civil and military officials were panicked overnight, especially those who were closely related to the Qi family, who became frightened birds.

Who dared to offend the princess at this critical moment?

Some officials who were willing to take advantage of the situation even wrote a memorial praising the emperor's merits and presented it to the emperor. The sincere words and gorgeous rhetoric in the memorial moved people. It seemed that they had put all their talents of decades into this memorial.

They said that the princess was a returning phoenix, brilliant, talented, and blessed by heaven.

They said that the princess had special abilities and shouldered important responsibilities. She was a goddess sent down from heaven to break the corrupt system and establish a prosperous and civilized new dynasty.

They said that the princess was virtuous and blessed the world.

From the royal family to the people of Jin, everyone was proud to have such a princess...

There were not many memorials of impeachment, but there were many memorials of flattery.

Xuan Xuan, who was having dinner in Zhaoyang Palace, heard that the outside was boiling, and she clapped her hands and smiled, "Sure enough, it was as the princess expected."

What was the buzz outside?

Rumors?

Of course not.

It was all the people's wishes.

The people outside were enthusiastic and praised the princess for her wisdom and bravery, and for being blessed by heaven. In the court, the princess punished the ministers who plotted rebellion, showing her divine power.

The title of Regent Princess became well-deserved.

In the evening, Jiang Yi sat in the emperor's bedroom and read the memorials to Emperor Wen. After reading, she sighed: "I really didn't expect that a trip to Taohua Mountain would directly ruin a Shangshu Mansion. Yan Li's swift and ruthless actions are admirable. With such courage, who dares to say that she can't be the emperor?"

Emperor Wen leaned on the head of the bed and looked at her steadily: "You really want her to be the emperor, right?"

Jiang Yi asked back: "Your Majesty doesn't want it?"

Emperor Wen was silent for a moment, and did not answer this question directly, but mentioned another thing: "Yan Li took my bowl away the day before yesterday."

Jiang Yi nodded slightly: "Well, she said she would take it for testing."

"Did the test result come out?"

"I don't know, I didn't ask." Jiang Yi shook her head slowly, "Yan Li is a smart and transparent child, she should know it in her heart."

A deep and complex color flashed across Emperor Wen's eyes.

Jiang Yi smiled faintly: "What's wrong with the emperor?"

"If there is something wrong with the medicine I drank, will the queen find it strange?"

Jiang Yi frowned: "Is there something wrong with the medicine?"

"I'm talking about if."

Jiang Yi put the memorial aside, stood up and walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, staring at the pale and elegant face of Emperor Wen: "If the medicine was found to be poisonous before today, I might think that it was Concubine De who did it."

"Don't think so now?"

Jiang Yi shook his head silently: "Yan Zheng dared to forge the imperial seal privately, which is enough to prove that he has the idea of ​​forcing the emperor to abdicate, but even if he holds the imperial seal in his hand, as long as the emperor is alive, he can't take the throne legitimately."

As long as the emperor is alive, even if he forces the emperor to abdicate, it is not legitimate. Regardless of whether it can succeed, he will definitely be infamous for seeking power and usurping the throne.

So only when the emperor is dead can his fake imperial seal have a chance to work.

If the crown prince is not appointed and the emperor suddenly dies, if Yan Zheng, who already has the advantage of being the eldest son, holds the imperial seal in his hand, it seems that it is natural for others to support him as the emperor, and there is no suspicion of usurping the throne.

But how to make people believe that the fake imperial seal is real, perhaps only Yan Zheng himself knows.

The inner hall was silent for a long time.

Emperor Wen lowered his eyes and sighed: "The royal family has always been only fighting for interests. For the supreme chair, fathers, sons and brothers can be suspicious of each other, kill each other, and calculate each other. It is obviously no exception in my generation."

After saying this, Emperor Wen held Jiang Yi's hand, and a trace of guilt could not be restrained in his heart.

He knew that there was something wrong with the soup before, and he always thought that it was Jiang Yi's instruction, so he simply... simply fulfilled her wish, because who made him save his life?

Not only did she save his life, but she also took back the country. He and his four sons are rich and stable today because of her.

He will support her in whatever she wants to do.

However, he never expected that the medicine that made him weaker day by day was not Jiang Yi's idea, but came from his own son.

Thinking of this, Emperor Wen didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.

"Ayi." Emperor Wen spoke, with a little more tiredness in his tone, "How do you plan to deal with Yan Zheng?"

"What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"Imprison him in the palace." Emperor Wen smiled bitterly and sighed, with a hint of sadness, "Take back all his titles and salaries, let him be trapped there for life, not allowed to leave the palace, not allowed to see outsiders, give him a few servants, and let him live a mediocre life according to the living standards of ordinary people. Do you think it's okay?"

"Listen to the emperor." Jiang Yi nodded, "There will be the punishment he deserves, and his life can no longer maintain the previous glory and wealth, but if there are other brothers to help and take care of him, I will turn a blind eye and will not be too harsh on him."

Emperor Wen hummed: "That's good."

"Will the emperor attend court tomorrow?" Jiang Yi asked.

"Go." Emperor Wen nodded, "I will go to support my daughter."

Jiang Yi raised his lips slightly: "Okay."

"But Ah Yi." Emperor Wen frowned, "I am still a little confused. Li'er is not even fifteen years old. Why is she so powerful that she can even summon the divine eagle?"

Jiang Yi was silent: "I can't answer this question either."

Emperor Wen hummed, and he really couldn't answer it.

After all, they have been separated from Yan Li for fourteen years. They have no idea how many unfathomable abilities she has.
