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

Yan Longyi followed Si Yan silently. Seeing that she was busy all day and had to train soldiers at night, he couldn't help feeling distressed.

But he knew that the only thing he could do was to stay with Ayan.

Yan Longyi had almost expected that she would rush back to the city early tomorrow morning to deal with court affairs.

Yan Longyi instructed Yun Tan, "Convert the carriage into a bed."

"Yes, Your Highness." When Yun Tan heard this, he knew that his prince was worried about Lord Si Yan.

To be honest, he also admired Lord Si Yan.

Si Yan's speed of marching in the wild was not something the soldiers behind him could keep up with.

Even Yun Li and others could only barely keep up.

Sice and Sizhe led a large army at the back, and the group of people marched forward in the dark night.

The capital city is extremely restless tonight, and the faint cries of women and children can be heard.

Overnight, three important court officials were imprisoned, three powerful families fell, and the entire power structure in Shangjing City was almost reshuffled.

Si Yan's figure was like a ghost in the dark night, passing through bushes and weeds and reaching the top of Baiye Slope.

The girl stood on a high hillside, the cold wind blew on her face, and her snow-white brocade robe fluttered in the wind.

She glanced across the brightly lit Shangjing City, her eyes cold.

In the past, due to the curfew, the capital city was almost silent in the second half of the night.

Today, the deeper the night gets, the more noisy the capital becomes.

Yan Longyi stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with the woman. "Ayan, Shangjing City is quite turbulent tonight."

"Well, this is the birth pangs before a complete reshuffle of the power in the Xuan Dynasty. It's inevitable."

Si Yan was already accustomed to the changes of power in a country.

It's like cleaning the rotten flesh off a person's body. When the knife cuts into the wound, it will be heartbreaking.

Only after the rotten flesh is cleaned away, medicine is applied, and the wound slowly heals, will new flesh and blood grow again.

Yan Longyi gently held Si Yan's hand: "I really want to share some of the burden for Ah Yan."

"You've already shared my burden." Si Yan replied softly.

"It's not enough. I want to share more with Ayan."

Si Yan squeezed his big hand and said, "Long Yi, I actually really enjoyed tonight. Seeing the termites of Daxuan being removed and cleaned up, I am very satisfied."

Yan Longyi gently put his arm around Si Yan's shoulders and looked at the dancing lights of Shangjing City with her: "Me too."

"Report to the Lord, Lei Yijie is here!"

While the two were talking, a panting voice sounded in their ears.

Lei Yijie was the first to reach the top of the slope, and he was far ahead in speed.

He tried desperately to catch up with Si Yan, but was soon left behind.

Lord Si Yan's strength is truly unfathomable.

Si Yan looked at the sweaty Lei Yijie and couldn't help but say, "Come here."

Lei Yiji walked towards Si Yan and followed Si Yan's gaze towards Shangjing City south of Baiyepo.

"Tell me, how are the lights in Shangjing City tonight?" Si Yan asked.

Lei Yiji was extremely smart and had some knowledge of what was happening in the capital city. When he saw torches lit in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Minister of Revenue's Mansion and other places in the city, he knew that something had happened in the capital city.

Lei Yijie made a bold guess: "Sir, the lights in Shangjing City are dazzling. I guess the Prime Minister's Mansion has been raided?"

"Yes." Si Yan nodded, "What else?"

Lei Yijie stared at the night sky and analyzed, "The residence of Minister of Revenue Zou is likely to be affected as well. There have also been some unusual movements in the residence of Minister of Justice Zhen, but they are much quieter."

Si Yan glanced at Lei Yijie and said, "You know a lot."

This kid has been in closed training for more than half a month, and he can still guess the situation in Shangjing City. It's not easy.

Based on his daily understanding, Lei Yijie commented, "However, there was no movement in the Yang residence of the Minister of Personnel tonight. It seems that the Minister of Personnel Yang Youjian was not involved."

Before Si Yan could speak, Lei Yijie continued, "Sir, I think we should pay close attention to the movements of Yang Youjian, the Minister of Personnel. Yang Youjian has the Duke of Yang's Mansion behind him, and its strength is comparable to that of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Lei Yijie's words made Si Yan take notice. This kid has great potential.

Xin Rui developed such a great power in Shangjing City that the number of officials he appointed, dismissed and transferred alone reached hundreds.

This would be difficult to achieve without collusion with the Minister of Personnel, who is responsible for the appointment and dismissal of civil servants.

Now that the Prime Minister's Mansion has fallen, the Minister of Personnel Yang Youjian has not been implicated at all, which is closely related to the power of the Yang Guogong Mansion behind him.

However, the blood transfusion needs to be done little by little. If the Prime Minister's Office is really wiped out in one fell swoop, there will be no one left in the central government of Daxuan.

What they need to do now is to deal with those forces that are causing unrest first.

Si Yan's gaze shifted to another place: "What else? Look where else is there any movement?"

Lei Yijie was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Si Yan: "Ministry of Justice, Sky Prison."

Si Yan smiled and said, "Indeed, the most turbulent place tonight will be the Ministry of Justice's Prison."

"Someone broke into the prison?" Lei Yijie asked.

"Prison robbing is just a small matter." Si Yan's expression was cold, and a cold aura emanated from his body.

"That's arson." Lei Yijie said immediately.

Si Yan didn't say anything, and the soldiers from the special training camp arrived at the top of Baiye Slope one after another.

The wind was blowing on the top of the mountain. The cold night was as cold as water, but the soldiers were covered in sweat.

Everyone tried their best to climb up the hill, no one wanted to be eliminated.

They have been very busy these days. It can be said that they have never been so tired since they were young.

But they feel very fulfilled.

They saw another possibility in their lives, did many things they had never done before, and saw their own potential.

How fortunate they are to be able to train with Lord Si Yan.

Si Ce gathered the soldiers and came to report to Si Yan, asking for instructions.

Si Yan put his hands behind his back and slowly walked in front of everyone: "You all arrived at Baiyepo on time. The first mission has been completed."

"The second mission is an actual combat mission." Si Yan's eyes were sharp as he swept over the soldiers who were still gasping for breath on the hillside. "There will be danger to their lives."

In the darkness of the night, the soldiers stood quietly, with countless pairs of bright and shining eyes looking at Si Yan.

Si Yan pointed towards Shangjing City and said, "Pay close attention to the lights of Shangjing City. You will follow me into the city in a moment. Your mission tonight is to quell the unrest in Shangjing City so that the people can sleep peacefully."

She slowed down her tone and said, "The requirements of this mission are very simple. As long as you can come back alive, you will be considered to have completed the mission."

"Yes." The soldiers said in unison.

The soldiers became solemn, and each of them stared at the lights of the capital city with wide eyes.

Some understand it, some don’t...

But without exception, the lights of the capital city tonight were forever engraved in their minds.

In the crowd, Zhen Jun stared at the bright torches in the city, his eyes red as he shouted, "Report!"

"Step out!" Si Yan said lightly.

"what's up?"

Zhen Jun burst into tears and choked up as he said, "I want to take a leave. I want to go home."
