Guan Tianxin stood up and saluted.

She said nonchalantly, "Father, what does this have to do with me? When I entered Dayan, I said that I would not return to the Southern Region and I did not want to be a saint. Just let them go."

"I have accepted the gift from the Southern Territory to congratulate the Crown Princess. I also wish that the Regent of the Southern Territory can sleep longer every night, giving the people a chance to sleep."

"I have drunk too much, so I will not entertain you in the Southern Region. Enjoy yourself, and go away. Take the gifts back to the East Palace."

The giant black tiger leaped into the door, bit the heavy red box and lifted it up, then followed Guan Tianxin out.

Yunong Wutu shouted, "Do you remember, Saint, when I stood in the sea of ​​blood and the mountain of corpses and swore that one day, there would be no more blood on the vast grasslands, and the stars and the moon would appear in the filthy night again!"

Guan Tian didn’t even think about it, but his voice echoed throughout the hall.

"The little girl's words were spoken in a moment of anger, how can the prime minister take them seriously? I just want to live a peaceful life at my age, take care of my husband and children, and have my husband support me in everything. I think this is great."

"If the Prime Minister thinks that what I have done since I was young is a contribution to the Southern Region, then please do not disturb my life now. Just treat me as a timid and cowardly person who does not keep his word, and do not be so persistent."

The slender figure had already stepped one foot out of the hall, and Yunong Wutu did not look discouraged at all.

The voice was like a bell: "The millions of people in the Southern Territory will not believe this, the slaves whose bloodstained silk cloth will not believe it, the old ministers will not believe it, but will the Saint believe it yourself?"

Guan Tianxin took the last step and disappeared in front of everyone: "I am believing it."

Yunong Wutu stepped out and said: "Your Majesty, this trip to the Southern Region concerns the survival of the country. Can we stay in Dayan for a while?"

"Of course you can. Great Yan welcomes envoys from the Southern Territory. You can stay at the inn. I will arrange for the prince to receive you."

Yunong Wutu bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Dayan. I also want to understand Dayan and find out why my saint girl is here."

There seemed to be a faint vortex in the emperor's eyes, stirring some matter: "You will know."

Guan Tianxin returned to the East Palace and found an empty room. He asked the servants to set up the sacrificial table, and asked Gungun to put a roll of smelly brocade on the shore, and lit three incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner.

Then he knelt on the cushion and watched the incense ashes burn up bit by bit.

She was thinking, how many faces in this blood she couldn't remember, but the saint's cries were still ringing in her ears...

Before I knew it, it was late at night and the door was opened and closed again.

A red shirt that was also warm from body temperature was draped over her body: "Your legs are numb, right? Get up and move around."

Glancing sideways at the gorgeous man with peach blossom eyes, Guan Tianxin said expressionlessly, "How many people did you place in the East Palace so that you can come and go freely?"

Yan Yi curled his lips, stretched out his hand and said, "Not much, 50%."

Guan Tianxin looked wooden-faced: "What about the other 50%?"

"Uh... Eldest brother 10%, Seventh brother 10%, Father 20%, and the remaining 10% may be because there is no one behind him, or it may be a small figure, I'm not sure."

"Why do you have so many?"

Yan Yi put his arm around her waist, picked her up, and helped her move her legs slowly.

"My eldest brother's mother's family is from the General's Mansion. They may have some influence in the barracks, but they are not very important in the court. My seventh brother's mother's family, the Cui family, is prominent, but they are far away in Xiping, so they can't lend much help."

"Father is very smart. He has not appointed a crown prince. He is waiting for us to select one. He will sit back and enjoy the result by choosing the one who suppresses the other brothers. This way, he will not hurt the relationship between father and son and will not interfere too much."

"What about you? What's wrong with you?"

"My maternal grandfather was Duke Dingguo. Although he did not have military power, his title was inherited from generation to generation and he has a deep foundation in the capital. His ancestors were founding heroes. As long as he does not rebel, he will keep the title."

"So, the power among the princes is not balanced. It is not difficult for me to suppress my eldest brother and seventh brother in the court. It's just that I'm lazy and don't want to start fighting so early."

Guan Tianxin looked strange: "Why are you talking so casually about the struggle for imperial power? Do you think I am not familiar with the government of Dayan and are you deliberately fooling me?"

The corners of Yan Yi's eyes were raised, and a sense of dignity was naturally revealed.

"You are already the Crown Princess, which means you don't need to take sides. You can just wait for the Crown Prince to take the throne and become your husband. The Great Yan Imperial City doesn't have thousands of grassland beasts to serve as your army. You are just a decoration now. Why would this prince fool you?"

Guan Tianxin narrowed his eyes. This was indeed the truth, but he still felt something was not right...

If she doesn't need to take sides, why does this guy always stick to her?

Seeing the little face full of thought, Yan Yi curled his lips and reached out to play with her curled eyelashes.

"Don't worry so much. Just like you said, just wait for your husband to protect you in everything. Fighting for power is a man's thing. In my opinion, it is a good choice for you to let go of the Southern Territory. Otherwise, your life will be too tiring."

Guan Tianxin pointed at the brocade cloth being offered up: "What about them? What are they?"

"So, they are the real reason why you came to Dayan?"

Guan Tianxin's eyes darkened: "I don't know what the Fourth Prince is talking about. I have said many times that I am just coming to Dayan to live here. You are always suspicious. Isn't this tiring?"

"Let the vast grasslands be free of blood, and let the filthy night see the stars and the moon again! What an ambitious aspiration! I can't imagine that this is what you said when you were young. This prince is very moved."

"Compared to Tian Xin, we princes seem to be extremely happy. Just now at the banquet, the ministers of the Southern Territory knelt and refused to stand up. Because of this sentence, I suddenly understood."

"Compared to the royal family of the Southern Territory, Saint Tianxin is more like the pillar of the people. An entire country was in turmoil because of one person. This really opened my eyes."

"How can you be a coward who can say such words? Not only do the ministers of the Southern Territory not believe it, but the ministers of Great Yan also don't believe it."

Guan Tianxin opened the window and looked at the night sky of Dayan shining with stars and moon.

He laughed at himself, "So what if you don't believe me? What can I do? There's nothing wrong with being ambitious, but I overestimate myself. It's a foolish dream to think that one person can change a country!"

Yan Yi put his arms around Guan Tianxin's waist from behind and they looked up at the night sky together.

"You don't think too highly of yourself. It's easy to give up, but it's hard to persist. I admire Tianxin's perseverance. If we were to switch places, I probably wouldn't be able to do that."

Guan Tianxin didn't say anything, and didn't care whether Yan Yi had guessed something or not. Some things couldn't be hidden, but they had to be revealed at the right time...

The person in his arms softened and fell asleep in his arms.

What happened today was definitely a shock to her, but she has managed to hold on until now... She is very stubborn.

He picked the person up and carried him to the Crown Princess's bedroom.

Standing by the bed, looking down at the troubled little face in sleep, Yan Yi reached out and smoothed his brows.

When he stood up to leave, he saw a corner of purple jade sticking out from his arms. He pulled it out to check, and it was indeed the one he had seen that night. The one carved on it was... was it rolling?

Although the carving was so crude, Guan Tianxin was very concerned about it. It could only be that the person who carved it was different to her.

Yan Yi looked at Zi Yu carefully, his peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, hoping it wasn't what he thought...
