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

This was the first time that the emperor had the heart to punish the imperial concubine, and everyone inside and outside the palace was shocked.

Before Si Yan left the palace, the news that the imperial concubine had been banished to the cold palace spread like wildfire.

Many ministers sent their servants to inquire at the palace gate. When they learned that the imperial concubine had indeed been banished to the cold palace, they hurried back to report.

The situation in Daxuan changed suddenly in one day, and there will be a storm in Shangjing as well.

When Si Yan walked to the palace gate, it was already dusk, and the orange-red sunset in the sky was beautiful and warm.

The gentle sunlight hit Si Yan's face, reflecting the woman's snow-white face, which was incredibly beautiful.

At the palace gate, Ling Mohan led a group of guards from Shangjing City to disperse the gathered people.

The tension in the mansions of the powerful and wealthy in Shangjing aroused the curiosity of the people of Shangjing, and they gathered at the palace gate to inquire about the news.

Ling Mohan saw Si Yan coming out and was about to meet him, but he saw the carriage from Yayue Pavilion drive up to Si Yan.

Ah Fan from Yayue Pavilion whispered a few words in Si Yan's ear, and Si Yan ordered the Si family's carriage to go back first, and turned around and got on the carriage of Yayue Pavilion.

Ling Mohan's face darkened slightly as he waved to his brothers, "We need to increase patrols near Yayue Pavilion in the near future. There are many people in that area, so we must be careful."

Several brothers made faces at Ling Mohan and headed towards Yayue Pavilion.

Ling Mohan originally thought that Yayue Pavilion had an empty carriage coming to pick someone up, but when he followed them to the door of Yayue Pavilion and saw Si Yan and Boya getting off the carriage together, his face turned pale.

This girl really doesn't care about her reputation at all. Not only are there many rumors about her and Yan Longyi in the capital, some people even say that she has an unclear relationship with Boya, the head of Yayue Pavilion.

The sky gets dark quickly in winter. As the sun sets, the night and the bright lights cover the entire Shangjing.

Ling Mohan was silent for a long time, found a secluded place, and climbed onto the roof of Yayue Pavilion.

In the private room on the third floor of Yayue Pavilion, Si Yan lazily nestled into the comfortable and soft chair, and the steaming hot meal was served.

Boya sat aside and served food to Si Yan: "You've been busy in the palace all day and you're tired. Eat something first."

"Yeah." Si Yan nodded and started eating. He was indeed hungry today.

Si Yan had just taken two bites when he paused his chopsticks and said, "There's a noise on the roof."

Boya smiled slightly: "It's General Ling, my people just told me..."

Si Yan's mouth twitched: "Send someone to invite him down for dinner?"

Boya laughed: "Will this be embarrassing for General Ling?"

Si Yan: ...

"Forget it." She continued eating. The food at Yayue Pavilion was really delicious, and there was no duplicate food in a month.

Si Yan could sense Boya's sincerity. If she really liked a dish, she would see it at the next meal. If she didn't want to eat it, it would be replaced next time...

She was not a picky eater, but her taste became very picky after eating at Yayue Pavilion.

Si Yan eats very fast and has a big appetite, but her figure always remains the same. After Boya knew the amount of her daily training, it was not surprising.

The two had known each other for a short time, but they naturally became good friends.

After watching Si Yan finish his meal and wipe his mouth, Boya spoke up, "I'm afraid the news of Concubine Xin being banished to the cold palace has spread all over Shangjing City."

"Well, there may be some unrest in Shangjing City recently, so you have to be careful."

"I'm fine, it's mainly you." Boya lifted a pot of freshly brewed tea from the tea stove and poured a cup for Si Yan. "The Prime Minister and his party must think that the Imperial Concubine was banished to the cold palace because of you, and they might deal with you."

Si Yan paused and added softly, "Or perhaps, they will directly deal with Prince Yong."

Boya nodded: "That's possible."

He paused, then spoke gently, "Wei Shu's identity is closely related to the Northern Mang Kingdom's royal family. He is most likely a spy sent by the Northern Mang Kingdom to Daxuan, and a spy of relatively noble status."

Si Yan ordered with a cold expression: "Keep an eye on King Hao from Beimang Country and see who he has contacted, openly or secretly."

If Wei Shu was a spy from the Northern Mang Kingdom, he would have to be in contact with Di Hao.

"Yes, I understand." Boya nodded to Si Yan and continued, "I've got some news about the people around the Imperial Concubine who were expelled from the palace. The two old maids around the Imperial Concubine said that the Imperial Concubine and Wei Shu have always had an improper relationship. From more than 20 years ago to now, the two have been in close contact."

Si Yan took a sip of tea and continued listening.

Boya said softly, "These two maids were very stubborn at first, so we had to use some tricks to get them to confess. When Concubine Xin first entered the palace, she was just a noble lady. At that time, His Majesty and the Queen had a very good relationship, so they were quite cold to Concubine Xin, and Concubine Xin was not very favored in the palace.

"For two years, Concubine Xin's stomach showed no signs of urination. But one day, the Emperor was drunk and had sex with Concubine Xin, who then became pregnant. She gave birth to Prince Xin, and gradually gained His Majesty's favor.

"The two maids were personal attendants to Concubine Xin, and they both knew Wei Shu. When they saw Prince Xin was born, they were stunned and thought he was Wei Shu's son.

"However, Prince Xin also looked like Concubine Xin, so their attention was quickly diverted. Since then, Wei Shu has been much more low-key. After Prince Chen grew up and moved out of the palace, he became an aide to Prince Chen's residence."

The two maids' explanations were enough to prove that the imperial concubine had been unfaithful to the emperor for a long time, but it was still difficult to prove that Prince Xin was not the emperor's son.

The prince that the emperor values ​​most is Prince Xin. Although Prince Xin will inevitably be implicated because the imperial concubine was banished to the cold palace.

But to prove that Prince Xin was not the emperor's son was another matter.

"Apart from the confession, is there any evidence?" Si Yan asked.

Boya shook his head. "According to what they said, not long after Prince Xin was born, someone from the Imperial Concubine's family came to the palace to pray for Prince Xin. Prince Xin cried loudly that day. The two maids didn't know what happened, but they didn't know the person from the Imperial Concubine's family. They also found blood marks on Prince Xin's body, but after a while, the blood marks disappeared."

Si Yan said calmly, "So, Prince Xin is likely to have a mark on his body that can prove his identity. This also proves that Prince Xin is most likely not the emperor's biological son."

Si Yan raised his eyes and looked at Boya, "I remember you mentioned that the killers from Beimang Country had two kinds of marks on their bodies, light and dark. The dark marks can only be revealed with a special potion..."

Boya smiled bitterly: "Our people sent news that this potion is indeed difficult to make..."

Si Yan's eyes were deep. "Catch a few killers and knock them out, but don't kill them. Let Yunya Divine Doctor and Yunqiao take a look and see if they can figure out how the marks on their bodies appeared..."

"Okay." Boya responded.

He also tried to have the killers interrogated, but they had tongues but could not speak.

Si Yan chatted with Boya for some more things and then returned to Situ Mansion.

In the dark sky, several lanterns were shining high. Si Zhengxuan was waiting at the door. When he saw his daughter's figure standing straight like a pine tree, Si Zhengxuan's eyes became moist.

He had been fighting against the Imperial Concubine Xin and Prime Minister Xin for so many years, but had not been able to overthrow the Imperial Concubine and Prime Minister Xin. He did not expect that this girl would make Concubine Xin be banished to the cold palace with just one move.
