The most romantic little emperor

Dong Sisi shook her head helplessly and sighed deeply, "Alas, brother, you doted on Mei'er too much, which is why she developed such an arrogant and domineering personality. She doesn't take anyone seriously. If she continues like this, she will get into trouble sooner or later."

"Sisi, Mei'er is your niece. How can you stand on the side of that heartless man and ignore Mei'er?"

Dong Sicheng was furious and asked loudly, "Sisi, have you reached some kind of shady deal with Qin Hao? For the sake of wealth and glory, are you willing to betray your family and support him to ascend the throne, or even commit yourself to him in the future?"

"Brother, you, you've gone too far. How could you frame me like this?"

Dong Sisi refuted vigorously, with a hint of helplessness and anger in her tone, "Am I, Dong Meier, the kind of person who disregards the family's reputation and ethics for my own selfish interests?"

"Humph, there is no best!"

Dong Sicheng snorted and said tactfully: "Sisi, you are my biological sister, and also a member of the Dong family. Your every word and action is related to the honor and disgrace of the Dong family. Only when the Dong family stands firm, your position in the palace will be stable."

"Honor and disgrace? Status?"

Dong Sisi sneered miserably and said self-deprecatingly: "In this deep palace, who cares whether I live or die? I don't even know if I can survive tomorrow."

Her words revealed a deep despair and helplessness, which Dong Sicheng naturally heard.

"What's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly give up on yourself? Did that bastard Qin Hao do something bad to you?"

Dong Sicheng suddenly stared into her eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Tell me, no matter whether it is new or old, I will help you avenge them one by one."

Dong Sisi raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes, and choked up as she said, "Brother, this has nothing to do with the prince. It was the emperor who said that I should be buried with him..."

Her voice became weaker and weaker, as if she was in despair.

"What? This dog emperor, is he going to get rid of him after he's done with his work?"

When Dong Sicheng heard that his sister was going to be buried alive with him, he became even angrier and cursed: "If it weren't for our Dong family's support, how could he have been the emperor? Damn it, neither of these father and son are good people."

"Don't be afraid, Sisi. I'm here with you. I won't let you get hurt. I'll protect you even if it costs me my life."

After listening to her brother's words, Dong Sisi felt a little warm in her heart. No matter whether what her brother said was true or false, the sincere expression on his face at this moment could not deceive Dong Sisi, and made her feel a trace of long-lost family affection.

Over the years, Dong Sisi has not felt the love of her brother for a long time. She remembers that when her parents were still alive, Dong Sicheng took good care of her and doted on her. He would share anything delicious or fun with her at the first opportunity, and the brother-sister relationship between the two was very good.

Since the death of their parents, their brother's children have grown up, and Dong Sisi has married the emperor. Being in the palace, she is often out of control. The two have fewer opportunities to meet, and the deep brother-sister love they once had has also faded a lot.

And the elder brother also poured all his love and care into his children. Now his son has become the general of the White Tiger Guard, and his daughter has married into the royal family and become the prince's concubine.

And Dong Sisi, the once beloved sister, seems to no longer be an important person in Dong Sicheng's heart, and he no longer pays so much attention to her.

In Dong Sicheng's heart, except for his own children, family affection seems to have become an unattainable luxury.

Many times, all he sees is profit, and it seems that only power and status can move him.

Now, this family affection seems to have returned to Dong Sisi, making her feel extremely precious. She hopes that this warmth can continue so that her relationship with her brother can return to its former closeness.

However, this was just Dong Sisi's wishful thinking. Her expectation did not last long and was ruthlessly shattered by the cruel reality.

Dong Sicheng was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "Sisi, I still want to advise you not to let the Second and Eighth Princes return to the capital. Only in this way, even if the emperor really decides to bury you, the two princes will be fine. They will have a chance to avenge you in the future."

"Sisi, you have to listen to your elder brother on this matter. I am doing this for the good of you and your son. Sometimes, you can't be too selfish. Even if you don't consider the Dong family, you have to consider the two princes!"

Dong Sisi was still fantasizing that this family relationship could be maintained the moment before, but the next moment she was slapped hard in the face by reality and fell to the bottom of her life.

What does "The Emperor really wants you to be buried with him" mean? Does the Emperor want you to be buried with him and this brother will remain indifferent?

I also have to remind myself not to be so selfish. Is my life so worthless in my brother's eyes?

Dong Sisi was so disappointed with her brother that she felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart. Tears welled up in her eyes but refused to come out.

She couldn't help but think of the prince's gentle and elegant conversation, and his firm determination to fight for a way to survive for the concubines, which made her feel a little warm.

However, no matter who it is, even the prince, Dong Sisi is unwilling to rely entirely on anyone for her fate, because no one can be relied on, and she has to fight for her own destiny.

Dong Sisi let out a long sigh, and then became much colder. She said lightly: "Brother, in many things, you and I are helpless. Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God. Let's just let nature take its course!"

"It's getting late. We should leave early to avoid being seen and causing unnecessary trouble."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Dong Sicheng's eyes flashed with reluctance, and he continued to ask: "You, you really don't want to change your mind?"

She stopped but did not look back. Her voice was filled with helplessness and determination: "Brother, I just don't want to die. Only if my two sons return to the capital, maybe the emperor will spare my life for their sake and let me avoid being buried alive with him."

After saying that, she continued to move forward and disappeared from sight without any reluctance, leaving Dong Sicheng alone standing there.

......

The turmoil over the assassination of the emperor has not subsided for a long time. The court is in a panic and is still investigating it strictly. From eunuchs to palace maids, anyone who shows any abnormality will be arrested.

In the capital city, the imperial guards also underwent an unprecedented reshuffle. Many generals were implicated and demoted to their posts, with their future uncertain.

Many people with ulterior motives could sense that the prince was taking the opportunity to purge the palace of all spies and people with ill intentions.

However, at this critical juncture of assassinating the emperor, no one dared to say anything more.
