Disguised as a man: Watch me create a new dynasty

Everyone in the Yan family has a heart that knows how to be grateful.

They knew that the princess's arrival brought hope and future to the Yan family.

They will repay the princess' kindness with their actions.

It was late at night, but a warm atmosphere permeated the Yan family's yard.

This warmth comes from the gratitude of the Yan family and from their vision and hope for the future.

Tonight, the moonlight is like water, gently sprinkling on the earth, like a gentle fairy, quietly covering the world with a layer of silver gauze.

The bright moonlight is as beautiful as a dream, but it cannot soothe the restless hearts of some people.

For them, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

The lights in the Hall of Mental Cultivation were bright, just like daytime.

The dazzling light pierced the darkness of the night, but could not dispel the solemn and depressing atmosphere in the hall.

It was as if there was an invisible force, like a thick dark cloud, permeating the air, making it almost impossible to breathe.

The emperor sat upright on the dragon throne, his posture as straight as a pine tree.

His eyes were deep and solemn, like two bottomless lakes, making it difficult to fathom his thoughts.

In the light, his face looked particularly serious. His angular features seemed as if they were carved from hard marble, exuding an aura of majesty and inviolability.

His mind was filled with thousands of thoughts, tangled together like a tangled mess.

What happened tonight was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples that took a long time to calm down.

Every detail of Yan Nansheng's extraordinary deeds in the Yan family kept emerging in his mind and he pondered over and over again.

The emperor frowned slightly and tapped the armrests of the dragon throne with his fingers, making a rhythmic sound.

The voice echoed in the silent hall, as if it was a reflection of his inner struggle.

"Did she really say that? Was she so sure that I would take them back? Did she say nothing else?"

Night Owl, who was kneeling on the ground, remained silent. He knew that the emperor did not really want him to answer. Hearing the pride faintly revealed in the emperor's tone, he knew that he must be satisfied with the princess at this moment.

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed on Night Owl kneeling on the ground, as if trying to find more answers from his silence.

However, the night owl remained as quiet as a sculpture, motionless.

"As expected of a child of the Yun family, you are very sensitive to things." The emperor murmured softly, his words full of pride.

But in a flash, his brows furrowed slightly again, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart.

"No, did she know something? No, she has no power in the palace, so how could she know my arrangements?"

The emperor's thoughts were like a wild horse running wildly.

The leader of the secret guards felt the emperor's gaze and his body tensed slightly, but he still maintained a respectful attitude and did not dare to move in the slightest.

He knew very well that the emperor's mind was as deep as the sea, and if he was not careful, it might bring disaster.

In this solemn atmosphere, time seemed to stand still and everyone's breathing seemed particularly clear.

"Your Majesty, I have sent the Dark Division from one to ten to be with the princess and the imperial concubine."

After hearing Night Owl's answer, the emperor frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

His gaze stayed on Night Owl for a moment, then slowly moved elsewhere, as if he was thinking about something important.

"Anzi Division One to Ten..." the emperor murmured softly, "These ten people are all elites. According to common sense, they should not be easily detected."

There was a hint of doubt in his tone, and he was obviously confused about whether Yan Nansheng had discovered the secret guards.

There are a total of fifty people in the Anzi Department, each of whom can fight against a hundred people. This is a powerful force in the hands of the emperor.

Excluding those who had official duties, there were still thirty-two people on duty. Now that ten people had been sent to the Yan family, there were only twenty-two people left around the emperor to obey his orders.

From this we can see that the emperor attaches great importance to the princess and the imperial concubine.

The secret guards are ranked according to their strength, and the higher the numerical code, the stronger the strength.

Ye Xiao was certain that no matter how powerful the princess's skills were, it could not change the fact that she was only in her early teens.

Even if a little kid starts practicing martial arts from birth, he can't be more powerful than a secret guard in his twenties who lives in hell every day.

In Night Owl's opinion, the princess may have extraordinary talent and courage, but in terms of accumulated strength, she can never be compared with the battle-hardened secret guards.

However, the emperor had different considerations in mind.

Yan Nansheng's performance has always surprised and intrigued him; her intelligence and courage are hard to fathom.

The emperor knew very well that one cannot judge a person's ability by age alone.

Perhaps Yan Nansheng had special opportunities and talents that enabled her to demonstrate extraordinary strength at such a young age.

The watery moonlight sprinkled into the palace through the window, as if silently telling something. The emperor stood up and walked slowly, his heart filled with worry and expectation for Yan Nansheng.

That is his daughter, the princess of Daqing. It would be better if she was smart so that she could avoid the filth and ugliness in the palace.

All he wants is for his daughter to live happily.

Then just do as she said and arrange for them to enter the palace as soon as possible.

"Laifu, come here and grind the ink." The emperor waved his hand and sat down in front of the imperial desk.

"Oh, your Majesty, your old servant is here." Seeing the emperor's face full of joy, Lai Fu put his heart back in his stomach.

The imperial physician said that the emperor's mood should not fluctuate too much recently.

Seeing the emperor's solemn expression just now, he was so frightened that he dared not breathe, for fear that the emperor would faint again like last time.

The emperor now smiles when he mentions the princess. It seems that he has to raise the position of this princess, whom he has never met, in his heart.

Eunuch Lai Fu was grinding ink for the emperor with a smile on his face. The emperor picked up the pen he was using to mark memorials on the table, straightened up and thought for a while.

Then he picked up his pen and started writing again.

******

"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: The Yan family is loyal and brave. They safely escorted the imperial concubine and the princess back to the capital, which is a great achievement. I am very pleased, and I grant them 100 taels of gold, 10 pieces of brocade, and a four-story house to honor their achievements. I hope that the Yan family will continue to be loyal to the emperor and love the country, and make new contributions to the prosperity of our dynasty. I decree this."

"I, Yan Xun, and my entire Yan clan, accept your order to express my gratitude. Long live the emperor."

After reading the imperial edict, Eunuch Lai Fu walked to Grandpa Yan with a smile and handed the imperial edict in his hands to Grandpa Yan with both hands.

Afterwards, he quickly walked over to Xie Xiyuan and Yan Nansheng who were standing nearby and bowed deeply.

"Your servant respectfully welcomes Concubine Xie and the princess back to the palace!"

Although she knew this day would come, Xie Xiyuan still felt a little dazed at the moment.

It seemed like the same as before, she just went out of the palace to play for a while, and the emperor sent Lai Fu to "capture" her and bring her back to the palace.
