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

The sun gradually sets, and the evening breeze blows through the bamboo forest with a hint of coolness.

Xinya looked at the powerful hidden masters around her, and knew that the dozen or so of them were no match for these hidden masters.

Si Yan's expression was cold and indifferent: "My Lady, would you like to come with me on your own, or should I ask someone to invite you?"

Xin Ya took a deep breath and lowered her posture: "Si Yan, let us go. I can give you anything you want, no matter gold, silver, money, or anything else..."

Over the years, the siblings have amassed a lot of wealth, and as long as Si Yan opens his mouth, they can negotiate.

Si Yan looked at Xin Ya with a smile in his eyes: "I want Wei Shu's life, can the imperial concubine give it to me?"

Concubine Xin couldn't help but fall into silence. Looking at Si Yan's expression, she seemed to know something.

Every time she and Wei Shu came and went, they used the residence of Prince Chen, but even the people in Prince Chen's residence were unaware of their private meetings.

The only person who knew about their meeting was her deceased son, King Chen.

There was no reason for Si Yan to know about her and Wei Shu.

"Your Highness, you must know where the Book of Wei is hiding, right? If you are willing to tell me where the Book of Wei is hiding, perhaps I can ask His Majesty to spare your life."

Xin Ya pursed her lips and said nothing. Wei Shu was her life. Even if she died, she would never let Wei Shu die.

"Your Highness, are you reluctant to let go?" Si Yan couldn't help but laugh when he saw Xin Ya's hesitant expression.

Xin Ya remained calm. "I don't know what you're talking about. Isn't Wei Shu the retainer of Prince Chen's residence? I heard he's heartless and disloyal. After Prince Chen passed away, he fled. Your Majesty is now seeking him."

Speaking of King Chen, Xin Ya couldn't help but suppress her anger. She knew that Si Yan must be involved in King Chen's affairs.

But now her life is in Si Yan's hands, so she can only endure it.

Si Yan said calmly: "Empress Xin is in the cold palace, but she is well-informed."

Xin Ya stared at Si Yan and changed the subject: "Si Yan, let's talk about something else. You must have something else you want."

Si Yan asked back, "What do you think I want, Concubine?"

Xin Ya said seriously, "I know you have great ambitions. If you defect to Prince Xin, half of Daxuan's future territory will belong to your Si family."

"Hahaha..." Si Yan suddenly laughed, "Your Highness, you have quite a vision. You even want to expand your kingdom?"

"What do you think?" Xin Ya looked at Si Yan. "The emperor is incompetent and has no idea how to govern the country. Why don't your Si family and my Xin family unite and seize the Qi family's kingdom, each taking half? Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Si Yan had a half-smile on his face. He wondered what the emperor's expression would be when he heard Xin Ya say that he was incompetent and unjust?

In Xinya's eyes, the country can be divided up at will. No wonder she once controlled the entire Daxuan, but couldn't hold on to it.

She now wants half of Daxuan's territory. This dream is even more outrageous than the emperor's dream.

Si Yan smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Concubine, I don't want half of Daxuan's territory..."

"So what do you want? Just tell me, as long as you say it, we can discuss it."

Xin Ya stared at Si Yan, as if she wanted to see through him.

She really wanted to know what Si Yan was thinking so that she could negotiate terms with him.

Si Yan replied softly, "I want Daxuan to be intact. I want the court of Daxuan to be clean and clear, and all the treacherous officials to be eliminated."

Xin Ya's expression darkened: "Si Yan, being too greedy is not good."

Si Yan waved to the people behind him and said, "Escort Prime Minister Xin and Imperial Concubine Xin back to the city and await His Majesty's orders."

As soon as Si Yan finished speaking, the hidden masters behind Boya rushed up together.

Concubine Xin shouted, "Si Yan, please think about it again. I am serious. Let's divide the kingdom of Daxuan equally, isn't it good? Si Yan, Si Yan..."

In the blink of an eye, the assassins around Concubine Xin were all killed by the hidden masters of the Bo family. The yard was covered with bright red, which was shocking.

"Si Yan, if it really doesn't work out, I can give you the entire Daxuan Kingdom..."

The Xin siblings were tied up. Xin Ya wanted to speak, but Boya's men had already blocked her mouth with a cloth.

It was dark outside and the cold wind blew through the bamboo forest, making a rustling sound.

"Go back to the city." Si Yan ordered.

They all came on horseback, and when they returned, there were several carriages parked on the roadside.

Boya got on Yayue Pavilion's carriage, and Si Yan got on Yan Longyi's carriage.

I saw that the carriage had been transformed into a bed, covered with a soft white blanket, a fluffy quilt, and a soft pillow.

"Ayan, take a rest." Yan Longyi got on the carriage and spoke softly.

Si Yan looked at the things on the carriage and felt that they looked familiar. Yan Longyi smiled and explained, "Yun Tan bought them at Yayue Pavilion."

Si Yan raised his eyes and looked at the man in front of him: "Yayue Pavilion also sells blankets and quilts?"

"Sell. They sell anything you need."

Si Yan couldn't help but twitch his lips. Yun Tan, who was under this man's command, was a talented person.

Si Yan was not feeling sleepy at the moment, so Yan Longyi picked her up and put her on the bed.

"I didn't sleep much last night, and I don't know how long I'll be busy today. The Emperor Daxuan is in the Situ Mansion now, and it will take us half an hour to get there. It's perfect for a rest."

When Si Yan heard this, he knew that this man had left someone to keep an eye on the news in the city.

"I won't sleep. I'll check out the city on my way back..."

"No need to look, Prince Yong has been pacified. The only thing that's not peaceful now is probably the palace."

At this point, Yan Longyi added, "By the way, the emperor has appointed Prince Yong as the crown prince, and your father has been promoted to the position of the crown prince's tutor."

"Yeah." Si Yan nodded, lay down on the bed, and pulled the quilt over him.

Yan Longyi sat on the edge of the bed and pinched the corner of the quilt for her. Si Yan turned around and looked at him with her beautiful eyes.

"We still need a bed warmer."

Yan Longyi: ...

This girl has never been afraid of the cold and wears very little in winter. Now it is spring and the ice and snow have melted, so why is she still cold?

"What are you dawdling for? Come up quickly!" Si Yan ordered directly.

She didn't sleep much last night, but this man didn't sleep any more than her.

Yan Longyi paused for a moment, gently lifted the quilt and crawled in, even his breathing became heavier.

He searched in the quilt with his big hand and held Si Yan's small hand. Her hand was as warm as a small stove.

Seeing her lying quietly, Yan Longyi immediately understood her intentions.

He gently put his arm around the woman's waist and slowly closed his eyes.

The carriage rumbled all the way to Situ Mansion.

Both of them were just sleeping lightly and woke up as soon as they arrived at Situ Mansion.

At this time, in the Situ Mansion, Qi Ziyu's men came to report: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xin in the Cold Palace has disappeared. His Royal Highness Prince Yong carefully investigated and found a secret passage in the Cold Palace. Concubine Xin escaped through the secret passage."

Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath. The people of the Xin family were so bold that they dared to dig a secret passage in the palace.

The emperor clenched his fists, his whole body filled with anger. "You said Xinya escaped?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." The guard knelt on the ground and replied with his head lowered.

The emperor felt dizzy and his head spun when he heard someone report, "Your Majesty, Lord Si Yan has captured Xin Rui and also the escaped Concubine Xin."
