The most romantic little emperor

She paused for a moment, and a firm and resolute light flashed across her beautiful face, like a shooting star in the night, brief but brilliant. She said firmly: "Father, I have already sacrificed for you and the family once, and I don't want to give the rest of my life to someone I don't love, even if he is a noble prince or an emperor who controls the world. I want to pursue my own happiness. For cousin Feng, I am willing to give everything, even my life."

Dong Sicheng finally learned the truth of the matter, and a trace of unspeakable helplessness flashed in his eyes. Facing his most beloved daughter, he felt helpless for a moment and didn't know what to do.

After a long time, he sighed slowly, with an endless sense of powerlessness in his voice. He waved his hand and said softly: "Forget it, I may let go of the matter between you, but you must understand that no matter how hard it is to swallow the bitter fruit you have sown, you must eat it. Also, you must take those letters back intact and destroy them. I will never let the Dong family be threatened in the slightest."

Although his words were plain, they revealed an unquestionable firmness. He knew very well that as the helmsman of the family, he must protect everything of the Dong family.

Dong Mei'er's eyes flashed with a sly look. Seeing that her father finally showed signs of relenting, the smile on her lips became brighter. She cautiously probed, "Dad, if that's the case, can you lend a helping hand to my cousin? If he can really sit on the supreme throne, I can become the queen, the mother of the country, and you will be the queen's father and the emperor's father-in-law. My Dong family will also rise with the tide and become more prominent. By then, wouldn't it be as easy as taking something out of a bag to obtain wealth and glory?"

Dong Sicheng slowly closed his eyes, and Dong Meir's words created ripples in his heart. Her words were full of temptation, which made him feel moved.

However, he knew that the risk involved was huge, like walking on the edge of a cliff. If he took a wrong step, he might be crushed to pieces. If he succeeded, he would be very successful, but if he failed, his Dong family would face a catastrophe and might even disappear from the long river of history. This was a dangerous game, and Dong Sicheng had to act with caution and not be careless.

The imperial family has been ruthless since ancient times!

Dong Sicheng had experienced this kind of thing once more than ten years ago. At that time, he stood firmly on the side of Emperor Taizong. Even though Emperor Taizong came to the throne legitimately, he almost failed. He didn't want to experience it a second time, and with no chance of winning, he got on Qin Feng's pirate ship in a daze.

In the current situation, although the emperor is seriously ill and the prince is poisoned, they are still alive. If we take risks at this moment, it would be like a madman dreaming in broad daylight. The outcome is already determined and there is no way it will succeed.

Moreover, Su Zhengfang, the old fox, had a wolfish ambition that was obvious to all, and he was also eyeing the supreme throne. It was estimated that he might have been secretly planning to put the two-year-old Ninth Prince on the throne, making him a puppet emperor, while he manipulated everything behind the scenes.

The Second Prince Qin Feng has almost no foundation in the court. If he wants to make some reckless moves at this moment and try to realize his ambitions, his daughter will inevitably be involved. If his plan fails, his daughter will not be able to escape the bad luck, and by then, the Dong family will not be able to get rid of its relationship.

Dong Sicheng thought to himself, "No, I can't let this happen. I must stop my daughter from going down this crazy path. Her current behavior seems to be bewitched by Qin Feng, and she completely disregards the consequences. I must take action to pull her back from this dangerous path."

"Whether she listens or not, I have to do my best to make her understand how stupid and dangerous her behavior is. I can't let her make the same mistake again, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

Seeing her father remained silent, Dong Meir was secretly delighted, thinking that her words had touched his heart.

So, she raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and continued to persuade with a smile: "Dad, as long as you can lend a hand and give cousin a helping hand, with my aunt and I secretly helping in the palace, cousin's forces will surely be able to exert amazing power. Success is just around the corner, what are you still hesitating about?"

Dong Sicheng snorted coldly and scolded: "Do you know what you are talking about? This is a crime of treason. Is there water in your head? Do you think it is so easy to succeed in a rebellion? Do you know that once the matter is exposed, you will lose your head!"

"Now that the emperor and the prince are still alive, you dare to act recklessly. Are you trying to push the Dong family into the abyss? I will never allow such a thing to happen. I advise you not to get too deeply involved. Get out of it as soon as possible and stay away from Qin Feng. Otherwise, once you get involved, I'm afraid no one can save you."

Seeing her father so timid, Dong Meir became extremely anxious and tried to explain quickly. However, before she could say anything, she was sternly interrupted by Dong Sicheng.

"You don't have to say anything more. I have made up my mind."

Dong Sicheng's eyes were cold, and his voice was firm and unquestionable. "If you dare to have such thoughts, don't blame me for being ruthless and not recognizing you as my daughter."

Dong Meir felt unwilling, she bit her lower lip and tried to persuade him again: "Father, how can you be so stubborn? Cousin Qin Feng has a comprehensive plan. As long as the emperor and the prince die, the throne will fall to you. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

However, Dong Sicheng remained unmoved. He glanced at his daughter coldly, his eyes full of disappointment and warning.

Seeing this, Dong Meir had to swallow back all the words she wanted to say, but her heart was filled with helplessness and unwillingness.

After a moment, Dong Sicheng snorted suddenly, a sneer flashed across his lips, and his voice was full of disdain: "What do you know? In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is nothing but floating clouds. Let's not talk about anything else, just talking about the guards of the capital, two battalions and four guards, plus the imperial guards in the palace, the total number is as high as 200,000. If these people are not controlled in their own hands, a mutiny may occur at any time. Do you think Qin Feng can sit back and relax even if he sits on the throne? What a joke! Just relying on that old fox Su Zhengfang, he can easily be pulled down from his horse."

He paused for a moment, a hint of deepness flashed in his eyes, and then he continued slowly: "The Su family controls most of the country's military power. Su Zhengfang, that cunning old fox, has been coveting the throne for a long time and has been hungry for it. But do you know why he has always kept his troops in place and dared not act rashly? That's because the emperor and the prince are still alive, and he knows very well that he is not sure of victory."
