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

Si Zhengxuan was shocked. If he had previously thought that Prince Yong was forced to speak well of this girl,

At this moment, he really felt King Yong's sincere recognition and protection of this girl.

Qi Ziyu softened his tone: "Master Situ, this time our country was able to destroy the 200,000-man army of the Northern Mang Kingdom, all thanks to Ah Yan's strategy. Since receiving the imperial edict from my father, I have been hiding in Xiongyue Pass, timid and fearful. It was Ah Yan who persuaded me to attack and pursue the enemy. It was also she who persuaded the King of Yan to allow the Yan Kingdom, which was betrayed by my Daxuan, to send troops again.

"It was thanks to Ah Yan that the nearly shattered relationship between Daxuan and Yan was able to reunite and annihilate an enemy force of 200,000. Lord Situ, do you think this is something an ordinary woman could accomplish? Not to mention ordinary women, even men can't do it. Ah Yan's abilities are so impressive that even I am ashamed of myself."

Si Zhengxuan did not expect King Yong to evaluate his daughter in this way.

Lord Situ couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Perhaps it was because he had only seen Yan'er talking in the court and had never seen her real abilities on the battlefield, so he felt that this girl was not that powerful.

But if you think about it carefully, every step this girl took after returning to the court made Prince Yong's power stronger and stronger, while the prime minister's party with the royal surname was suppressed, and they lost two powerful supporters in one day.

Now that Prince Yong has said so, what else can Si Zhengxuan say?

As Yan'er's father, it doesn't make sense that even King Yong trusts and understands Yan'er, but he, as a father, cannot understand his own daughter.

Qi Ziyu smiled slightly: "Master Situ, you can rest assured. Ziyu understands the character of the King of Yan. The King of Yan is a man worthy of entrusting one's life to. If they are together, it may be beneficial to both Daxuan and Yan."

Si Zhengxuan couldn't help but ask, "But what if war breaks out between Daxuan and Yan? What will they do?"

"They will not allow the two countries to go to war." Qi Ziyu said with a firm expression, "Every step they take is working towards this goal. Lord Situ, if I, Qi Ziyu, inherit the throne in the future, I will definitely not allow Daxuan and Yan to go to war."

Si Zhengxuan didn't say anything else. After this trip to Prince Yong's Mansion, he already understood Prince Yong's attitude.

Si Zhengxuan said goodbye to Qi Ziyu and took a carriage back to Situ Mansion.

He didn't ask anyone to call Si Yan, but went to Yu Lanxuan where his daughter lived to see what she was doing.

On a clear winter afternoon, the north wind was blowing gently, and the fallen leaves in the yard were rolled to the corner of the wall, spinning back and forth.

In Si Yan's study, the woman in red said a lot. She explained what happened in the Jia Mansion last night, why she was late, and finally asked Si Yan to forgive her.

Si Yan looked at the woman indifferently, and finally replied to her: "Go down when you're done."

"Ms. Si, have you forgiven me?" Yu Nie looked at Si Yan, who had a cold expression, and asked.

The woman in front of him was so young, several years younger than her. Apart from being a little quiet, Yune really didn't see anything special about her.

Yu Nie even wondered if the prince was fascinated by her face?

Si Yan didn't answer the red-dressed woman's words, but simply asked, "Have you caught the thief?"

“No…” Yu Nie blushed and bit her lip.

Si Yan's tone was gentle: "It doesn't matter who you report to. What's important is that you didn't catch the thief. There are so many people in the Blood Shadow Sect, and they couldn't catch a thief. I doubt your ability as the deputy sect leader. At the same time, I also question the vision of King Yong in choosing you as the deputy sect leader."

Yu Nie couldn't help but defend herself: "Miss Si, that thief's identity is extraordinary. I sent out dozens of experts, but they couldn't..."

As he spoke, Yu Ni fell silent.

In any case, she did not catch the thief and brought shame to the prince.

Yu Nie lowered her head and bit her lip: "Anyway, it was indeed my fault."

Si Yan said calmly, "It's good that you don't make excuses, but your performance is far from meeting my expectations. My order was to protect the Jia Mansion. With dozens of Blood Shadow Sect masters guarding it, the thieves should have had no chance of entering the Jia Mansion. They shouldn't have entered Miss Jia's courtyard and pried open Miss Jia's door before you discovered them."

"I know I was wrong. I will make better arrangements next time." Yu Nie took a deep breath and felt as if the woman in front of him had pinched his pulse.

"Go down." Si Yan said lightly, and Yu Nie left Si Yan's yard with a heavy heart.

Si Yan continued to look at the information in his hand when Si Rong came to report: "Miss, the master is here."

Si Yan put down what he was holding and was about to go out to greet him when Si Zhengxuan appeared at the door of the study.

Si Yan smiled and said, "Father, you're back so soon?"

"Yeah." Si Zhengxuan responded softly. From the tone of his voice, Si Yan knew that his father was no longer angry.

Si Zhengxuan entered his daughter's study and saw a pile of things that looked like official documents piled on her desk.

"What are these?" Si Zhengxuan asked.

"These are all kinds of news sent by Yayue Pavilion. There is a lot of information. If father is interested, I can ask Si Rong to send it to you."

"Sent from Yayue Pavilion?" Si Zhengxuan felt that his daughter was really amazing. Even Yayue Pavilion sent her the message. Did she buy it with money?

"Well, Master Boya will send me any news."

Si Zhengxuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did you use all the thank-you gifts that King Yan gave you to buy information?"

"No, that's not the case. Young Master Bo is doing this for the sake of justice. He won't charge me a penny. He only asks that I contribute to eradicating corruption in Daxuan and cleaning up the government."

Si Zhengxuan couldn't believe it. All the things that happened today made him feel that his daughter was nothing like the daughter he once was.

But the one she was looking at was indeed his daughter!

"Girl, daddy doesn't care about your relationship with Prince Yan anymore." Si Zhengxuan said in a gentle tone.

Si Yan smiled and said, "I'm glad Dad has come to terms with it."

Si Zhengxuan sat on a chair by the window, drinking the tea that Si Rong brought him. "Prince Yong said he wrote an agreement to cancel the engagement with you. Let me see it."

"Oh, okay." Si Yan obediently took out a piece of silk from the drawer and handed it to Si Zhengxuan.

Si Zhengxuan read the contents one by one and saw the date clearly written on the signature. It was written when he was at the border, not long after the war ended.

"Why didn't you tell Dad earlier?" Si Zhengxuan sighed and looked at his daughter helplessly.

Si Yan said softly: "Father was very angry yesterday, and I didn't have this with me..."

Si Zhengxuan carefully put the piece of silk into his sleeve and kept it for his daughter.

This girl is so impatient. He is really afraid that she will lose such an important thing.

Si Zhengxuan was silent for a while, then looked at Si Yan with deep eyes: "Father knows that you are very capable now, but my ability is limited. Although Prince Yong agrees to cancel the engagement with you, His Majesty will not agree."

He had already spent a lot of effort last time to get His Majesty to replace Prince Xin with Prince Yong.

This time, if His Majesty were asked to cancel their engagement, Si Zhengxuan couldn't imagine how angry His Majesty would be.

Si Yan was not worried at all: "Father, don't worry. There are many people who want to cancel my engagement with Prince Yong. Just let them work hard on this matter."

Si Zhengxuan: ...

Can this be done?

Si Yan smiled and said to his father, "We have just eliminated Minister of War Dong Yi and Chief Censor He Xuan, and we are on the rise. Although His Majesty strongly supports us in the court, His Majesty is weak and his resolve is not strong. There is no guarantee that he will not be deceived again. At this time, we should show weakness and prevent His Majesty from diverting his attention from the Prime Minister's Mansion to us."

"Girl, what do you want to do?" Si Zhengxuan asked puzzledly.

Si Yan spoke calmly, "Father, isn't there someone who wants to cancel the marriage between me and Prince Yong? Then I will set a small trap. While they achieve their wish, they will also arouse Your Majesty's disgust. At the same time, your Majesty will completely eliminate his suspicion of our recent assertiveness."

Si Zhengxuan: ...

Can this be a trap?
