The daughter of the emperor is beautiful and holds the power over the world

Ling Mohan stared at Si Yan in a daze, unable to utter a word for a long time. Was she having a secret meeting with Yan Longyi?

After a long while, Ling Mohan finally spoke: "You are the fiancée of Prince Yong."

"Yes, my father reminded me today." Si Yan's eyes were calm as he looked at the childhood sweetheart of the original owner. "Also, Prince Yong already knows that Prince Yan and I are together."

Ling Mohan was a little slow to react for a moment. Uncle Si also reminded A Yan?

Does King Yong also know about this?

"Ayan, what are you talking about?" Ling Mohan frowned, his eyes full of confusion.

Si Yan spoke slowly: "Prince Yong already knows about my relationship with Prince Yan, so you don't need to be too surprised."

How could Ling Mohan not be surprised? If this girl didn't like Prince Yong, and Prince Yong knew that this girl didn't like him, then...

Wasn't he the one this girl liked before she went to the battle? How come after she came back from the border, she became the King of Yan?

"Did Yan Longyi force you to do that?" Ling Mohan asked reflexively.

"No." Si Yan shook his head, "I want to do it myself."

Ling Mohan couldn't believe it. He looked at Si Yan in surprise, his face a little broken.

If it was Prince Yong, then it was a marriage arranged by His Majesty and no one could disobey, and he could understand that.

But she was talking about the King of Yan!

Could it be that she saved Yan Longyi's life at the border, and they went through so many things together, so she changed her mind?

It took Ling Mohan a long time to accept the fact that his beloved woman became Prince Yong's fiancée.

But now she told him that she was willing to be with Yan Longyi.

How ironic!

"Do you like Yan Longyi?" Ling Mohan stared at Si Yan deeply as if to confirm.

Si Yan looked up and saw the pain that could not be concealed in the eyes of the man opposite him.

"Yes." Si Yan's cold voice carried a hint of cruelty, "I like Yan Longyi."

This matter is destined to be concealed. Hiding it for too long may not be a good thing. It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one, so I might as well tell it all today.

My father already knows, my brother at the border knows, and Ling Mohan should know too.

Moreover, even if she wanted to hide it, those people in the capital would spread it widely. After all, if there was anything between her and Yan Longyi, it would break up the marriage alliance between the Situ Mansion and the Prince Yong Mansion.

Si Yan knew that Ling Mohan liked the original owner, but the original owner was no longer in this world.

She inherited the body and memory of the original owner, but she cannot like the person the original owner likes on his behalf.

She has her own thoughts and soul, her own choices about who she loves, and her own path to follow.

The only thing she could do was to become Ling Mohan's sister and help the General's Mansion rise again.

Ling Mohan lowered his head, his eyes turning red involuntarily, and his hoarse and broken voice condensed into a soft and painful accusation: "You changed your heart..."

There was a faint sadness in the air. The mature man buried his face in his hands, trying his best to calm himself.

"Yes." Si Yan could only admit, "I used to like you, Mo Han, but now I like power more..."

Ling Mohan wiped his face, his eyes moist. He tried his best to remain calm and quiet his buzzing head.

"I already said that night that the former Si Yan had died at the border. The current Si Yan is no longer Ling Mohan's Si Yan, but Daxuan's Si Yan."

"Really?" Ling Mohan gently pulled the corner of his lips apart. "Then do you remember that you also said that you would stand at the pinnacle of power and dominate everything, that you would tear down the decaying edifice of this dynasty, rebuild a brand new order, and protect everything you wanted to protect?"

Ling Mohan didn't forget a single word of what Si Yan said that night.

As he lay in bed at night, her voice echoed over and over in his mind.

He thought that this was the reason why she accepted Prince Yong, but she said that she liked Prince Yan.

"This is what I'm doing now, and it doesn't conflict with my love for Yan Longyi."

"How can it not be contradictory? You are going to marry to the State of Yan?"

Si Yan looked at Ling Mohan, who had never been so emotional before, and explained softly, "I will not marry to the State of Yan."

"Does the King of Yan agree?" Ling Mohan clenched his fists. "Does he agree that you don't marry into the Kingdom of Yan?"

"agree."

You could hear a pin drop in the air. Ling Mohan's vision was blurry. He chuckled and said, "It seems that our previous relationship is just a joke."

"I am sorry for you." Si Yan was silent for a moment, then spoke softly, "But the Si Yan of the past has never been sorry for you."

Ling Mohan laughed sadly: "What you said really makes me more confused the more I listen."

Si Yan knew that he didn't understand, but this was the only explanation she could give: "The Si Yan of the past truly loved you."

Ling Mohan had a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of sparkling water: "So, after meeting Yan Longyi, you no longer love him?"

The air was silent and desolate, Ling Mohan's voice was so gentle, yet so heartbreaking.

Si Yan knew that it would be unacceptable not to give Ling Mohan a reasonable explanation.

But if she said she was a time traveler, Ling Mohan might think she was mentally ill...

I won't believe it at all.

Si Yan's expression was grim. "After witnessing the bitter cold and cruelty of the border, seeing soldiers fighting bloody battles and dying on the battlefield, and seeing how the corruption of the imperial court could destroy the peace that the soldiers had bought with their lives and blood, I no longer think about love."

"Heh!" Ling Mohan chuckled, his eyes full of sarcasm.

Si Yan remained calm and composed: "Since returning from the border, what I want has completely changed. Before, I only wanted to be with you forever, but now, I only want the best for Daxuan and the General's Mansion."

Ling Mohan smiled sarcastically: "Then you should choose Prince Yong. Prince Yong is the prince of Daxuan and is the one who is expected to inherit the throne in the future."

Si Yan looked quietly at the man with red eyes opposite him: "But I still want the good of Yan State and the good of the world..."

"..." Ling Mohan didn't speak for a long time, he almost didn't know how to start.

If her expression wasn't so calm and her tone wasn't so calm, he would have thought she was talking nonsense.

But she was so serious and solemn, as if every word she said was carefully considered.

"You want the world?" Ling Mohan raised his head to prevent his tears from falling.

"Yeah." Si Yan replied softly, "I want to protect the world."

"So, you don't want me anymore." The man's question was not a question, but a statement.

"You will always be my brother." Si Yan replied softly.

"Then why is Yan Longyi not my brother?" Ling Mohan still couldn't help but let a tear flow from the corner of his eyes. He waved his sleeves and wiped it away gently.

Si Yan didn't say anything for a long time, she didn't know how to answer.

If it were someone else, she could say domineeringly that she just liked Yan Longyi.

But Si Yan couldn't say it to this man who had given his heart to the original owner.

Si Yan was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Mo Han, everyone grows and changes."

"Yes, the heart can change." Ling Mohan threw down a sentence, stood up and walked out the door.

Si Yan looked at the man's back as he rushed out, listened to his footsteps as he left out of control, and sat in the chair like a sculpture for a long time without moving.

Ever since the fall of the General's Mansion, this man has always been calm and composed. Today is the first time Si Yan has seen him so angry and sad.
