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

Xin Rui suddenly became alert and looked at Eunuch Gu with a sharp gaze: "Your Majesty, are you aware that His Royal Highness Prince Xin is here?"

"I know." Eunuch Gu glanced at Xin Rui, then looked at Qi Ziyu who was not far away.

"Your Majesty also knows that His Royal Highness Prince Yong is here."

Qi Ziyu's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Si Yan followed Eunuch Gu into the emperor's bedroom. The emperor was leaning against the head of the bed with a soft pillow.

Except for Eunuch Gu who served personally, everyone else retreated to the side hall, including the queen and the genius doctor Yunya.

Si Yan knew what the emperor's expression was without even looking. His son had just died, and it would be hard for anyone to feel good about having to send off a loved one.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Si Yan bowed to the emperor. "Your Majesty, I express my condolences."

"Mercy?" The emperor sneered, his eyes full of grief, but he stared at Si Yan as sharply as an eagle.

"Why didn't you stop Prince Yong? Why?"

The emperor roared as if he had used up all his strength, pounding the edge of the bed with his right hand, unable to hide his pain and disappointment.

Si Yan's expression was calm, and there was no ripple in his dark eyes.

She replied softly, "Your Majesty, the people ambushed at Suzaku Gate were me and Prince Yong."

"The one who deserves to die is Prince Chen, my son." The emperor's voice was old and broken, with a deep accusation.

Si Yan said calmly: "Prince Yong is also your Majesty's son. Doesn't that mean Prince Yong's life is not a life?"

"Si Yan, don't you understand? It was Prince Chen who died, not Prince Yong!"

The emperor's eyes were red, and he grabbed a jade pillow from the bedside and threw it at Si Yan.

Si Yan gently caught the jade pillow thrown by the emperor without saying a word.

The emperor roared at Si Yan like a roaring lion, "Why don't you stop Prince Yong? Don't tell me you can't stop him. You can even kill the tigers of Beimang Kingdom. I don't believe you can't stop him."

Si Yan was silent for a long time, then slowly spoke: "Why should I stop it? The Xin family didn't stop Prince Chen from rebelling, and didn't stop Prince Chen from ambushing me and Prince Yong. Why should I stop Prince Yong from killing Prince Chen?"

The emperor was immediately filled with anger, his cheeks twitched, and his eyes stared at Si Yan.

"Si Yan! It was you who killed my son, it was you who killed King Chen."

Si Yan said expressionlessly: "It was the Xin family who killed King Chen. It was King Chen's stupidity that killed himself. This has nothing to do with me."

"I will kill you!" The emperor struggled to get up from the bed.

Eunuch Gu cried and supported the emperor: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, take care of your health..."

The queen was listening to the noise in the side hall, wondering whether to come over, but in the end she didn't move.

Si Yan is Situ's daughter, the emperor cannot kill Si Yan.

"Of course." Si Yan stood up and walked over, squatting beside the emperor's bed. She put the golden dagger given to her by the emperor into the emperor's hand and said, "If your majesty must find someone to vent your anger on, I am the best candidate. Your majesty, please do it."

The emperor's eyes were red: "Do you think I dare not kill you?"

Si Yan chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, of course you dare. If Your Majesty wants to overthrow the Daxuan Empire, you can immediately execute me."

The emperor's chest heaved violently, and the hand holding the dagger was shaking.

"When I die, please tell your majesty that I am unfilial and will not be able to accompany him in the future."

When Si Zhengxuan was mentioned, the emperor's mind became much clearer. With trembling hands, the emperor threw the dagger away.

He pointed at Si Yan angrily. For a moment, he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to trust Si Yan so much.

The emperor rested his head on the soft pillow, tears streaming down his face. "You are in control of everything now, right? You know I won't kill you, right?"

Si Yan softened his tone: "Your Majesty will certainly not kill me. The death of Prince Chen cannot be blamed on me anyway."

Si Yan knew that the emperor simply had no outlet, so he took out all his emotions on her. In fact, the emperor just wanted to find someone to talk to.

"Your Majesty, you were very wise not to issue an order to punish Prince Yong right away."

If the emperor really dealt with Prince Yong, it would cause dissatisfaction among people all over the world.

The current King Yong has long been a god of war admired by everyone in Daxuan, and is the well-deserved successor to Daxuan in the eyes of the people.

Prince Xin only had a powerful maternal family background. Compared with Prince Yong, he had no achievements and was unpopular.

King Chen ambushed King Yong at Zhuque Gate, which was an unforgivable crime. King Yong executed him on the spot, and no one could be blamed.

The emperor burst into tears and said, "Si Yan, you...you make me so sad."

Si Yan handed a handkerchief to the emperor: "Your Majesty, although you are a father, you are also a sovereign father, the king of the people of the world. Your heart should be strong and just. Only when you act righteously will the people of the world follow your example, and only then will the civil and military officials follow your example. Only then can the government be rectified and the people's hearts be righteous!"

The emperor wiped his tears and said, "The palms and backs of my hands are all made of flesh. How can you expect me to be fair?"

Seeing that the emperor was crying uncontrollably, Eunuch Gu couldn't help but wipe away his tears and sob softly.

Si Yan's expression was solemn: "Your Majesty, do you know what Prince Chen's rebellion means?"

The emperor sniffed: "What does it mean?"

"It means that if Your Majesty is even slightly unwise, the Daxuan Empire will be over."

"You're exaggerating again!" The emperor stared at Si Yan with red eyes. "I have listened to you now, but what happened? Prince Chen is dead, and the next one is Prince Xin, right? For Prince Yong, are you going to kill Prince Xin as well?"

"It is the Xin family who wants to kill Prince Yong and me!" Si Yan retorted.

The emperor was slightly taken aback: "Sweet talk!"

"Your Majesty, do you think the Xin family knew or didn't know about the incident that Prince Chen of Suzaku Gate launched today?"

"Of course..." The emperor paused, his eyes darkening, "I know."

"That's right, Your Majesty." Si Yan nodded. "Not only did they know, they were also extremely cunning and treacherous. Prince Chen and Prince Yong killed each other. No matter what, the outcome would be a lose-lose situation. If Prince Chen died, only Your Majesty would be sad. To the Xin family, they lost nothing more than a chess piece."

"What do you mean?" asked the emperor.

Si Yan raised his eyes to look at the emperor: "Your Majesty, if it was Prince Yong who died today, who would benefit?"

"..."

Before the emperor could speak, Si Yan replied, "It's Prince Xin! If Prince Yong dies, Prince Xin will be the only candidate for the crown prince.

"It was Prince Chen who died today. Prince Yong will certainly be disdained by His Majesty, and may even be punished by His Majesty. Who will benefit from this? Prince Xin again.

"Your Majesty, it's all because the Xin family abandoned Prince Chen for Prince Xin that we've come to this disastrous situation. It's the Xin family who's behind everything, manipulating everything and leaving us with no choice."

The emperor frowned. "Are you saying that Prince Chen is just a pawn in their hands, abandoned by them?"

Si Yan said solemnly, "Your Majesty, Prince Chen lives a life of debauchery and has accomplished nothing. He has absolutely no chance of becoming the Crown Prince. If we can sacrifice Prince Chen, eliminate Prince Yong, and thus establish Prince Xin, wouldn't that also fulfill the wishes of some people?"

"..."

This is cruel, but it's the truth.

The emperor was silent for a long time, sighed deeply, and looked at Si Yan with resentment.

"But you could have stopped Prince Yong from killing Prince Chen and saved my two sons, but you didn't do it, Si Yan. You disappoint me so much."
