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

Si Yan and Ling Mohan went out, followed by Boya and Yan Longyi, and Yun Li and others also followed.

When Ling Mohan saw this situation, he knew that searching Duke Yang's mansion today would probably not be easy.

Several people rode forward on horseback. Ling Mohan got on the horse and rode side by side with Si Yan.

"My father has already gone to Dingshan Pass. In the chaos today, he hurriedly saw me and asked me to pass on this message to you."

Si Yan nodded: "Uncle Ling will definitely return safely."

Ling Mohan smiled slightly and said nothing more.

Since returning from the border, this girl first tried her best to recommend him to His Majesty, and then cleared the injustice of the General's Mansion. Now she has even persuaded His Majesty to let his father go to Dingshan Pass to quell the rebellion.

She has done so much for the Ling family step by step, and he should say thank you to her.

But the relationship between them is too far-fetched to say thank you.

Ling Mohan looked at the woman in front of him with her back straight, as if she could hold up the whole world, and finally swallowed the word "thank you".

Regardless of whether she likes him or not, she is still the same Ah Yan who grew up with him...

Duke Yang's Mansion was only a quarter of an hour away from Situ's Mansion. A large group of people quickly drove to Duke Yang's Mansion and surrounded it.

Yun Li and a dozen of his guards jumped onto the surrounding roofs to prevent anyone from jumping out.

Boya's men also formed a battle formation and deployed various visible and hidden sentries around Duke Yang's mansion.

Today, not even a fly can fly out of Duke Yang’s mansion.

As soon as the doorman of Duke Yang's mansion saw the soldiers coming outside, he immediately sent someone to report.

The concierge responded with a smile, "Isn't this General Ling? General Ling, is there anything that brings you here?"

Ling Mohan governed Shangjing with lightning speed and patrolled the city all day long. Almost all the gatekeepers in Shangjing City knew him.

"I'm ordered to search Duke Yang's mansion." Ling Mohan's expression was as cold as ice as he walked around the gatehouse and went in.

Hu Wen, the eunuch beside Ling Mohan, stepped forward and said, "Duke Yang and Minister of Personnel Yang, please accept my order."

The doorman's forehead was covered in cold sweat. Why did His Majesty order a search of Duke Yang's mansion for no reason?

"Please wait a moment, I'll go get my master."

After the doorman finished speaking, he ran inside.

Duke Yang was Yang Youjian's father. After Yang Youjian became the Minister of Personnel, he did not divide the family and still lived in Duke Yang's mansion.

After the guards of the Zuowei Mansion entered the Duke Yang's Mansion, they scattered and took up their positions, causing quite a stir in the Duke Yang's Mansion.

Duke Yang arrived late. Seeing Si Yan, he could not help but ask, "Lord Si Yan, what brings you here?"

"Someone reported that Duke Yang's mansion was harboring Wei Shu, a wanted criminal. I'm here today to search Duke Yang's mansion under orders."

Si Yan went straight to the point.

Duke Yang angrily asked, "What are you talking about? How could this Duke's Mansion harbor a criminal?"

Hu Wen unfolded the imperial edict in his hand and said to Duke Yang, "Please accept this order, Duke Yang."

Duke Yang replied indifferently, "My son is still working at the Ministry of Personnel. Doesn't he also need to receive the imperial edict? I'll send someone to call him back right away."

Duke Yang had a cold face and played tricks with Si Yan to delay time.

Hu Wen looked embarrassed and didn't know what to do for a moment.

Si Yan said calmly, "Then Duke Yang should accept the order first. It doesn't matter whether Minister Yang is here or not. It's just an order to search, Duke Yang can just accept it."

Duke Yang stood in front of everyone with an expressionless face and sneered, "No hurry, let's wait for my son to come back and listen to the decree together."

When everyone heard this, they knew that Duke Yang did not allow the search.

Si Yan turned to look at Ling Mohan and whispered, "Take your men to search, and Eunuch Hu Wen can stay here to announce the decree."

Ling Mohan nodded and gave an order: "Search carefully and don't miss any corner."

"Yes." The soldiers of Zuowei Mansion received the order and rushed in.

"Let's see who dares?" Duke Yang shouted angrily.

A group of guards with swords rushed out from the Duke's Mansion and blocked the way of the Zuowei Mansion.

Duke Yang had not expected Si Yan to dare to force a search, and he could not help but fly into a rage: "Si Yan, how can you search this Duke's Mansion just because you want to? This is the mansion that the late Emperor personally bestowed upon Duke Yang. Duke Yang holds the Dragon Sword bestowed upon him by the late Emperor. Let alone His Majesty's decree, even if His Majesty himself came here, he would have to explain the matter clearly before searching Duke Yang's Mansion."

As soon as Duke Yang finished speaking, a servant in the mansion had already taken out the Shenlong Sword given to him by the late emperor.

Duke Yang drew his sword and said, "Seeing this sword is like seeing the late emperor. Why don't you kneel down immediately?"

Everyone was slightly stunned. Is it really not that easy to search the Duke Yang's Mansion?

"Duke Yang, are you afraid of being searched?" Si Yan asked with a smile.

"My Lord is not afraid, but I will not tolerate humiliation." Duke Yang's face darkened. "Duke Yang's mansion is clean and innocent. How can anyone search it just because they want to? If you want to search it, have His Majesty come here in person and talk to me. I will see whether it is His Majesty's own will or someone is misleading you and forcing you to do something."

Duke Yang's beard trembled, the Divine Dragon Sword in his hand gleaming with golden light. "How dare you, Si Yan! Seeing this sword is like seeing the late emperor. Why don't you kneel?"

"Duke Yang, the late emperor bestowed upon you the Divine Dragon Sword, not for you to use it in violation of the current emperor's decree."

Si Yan's expression was as cold as ice, and he said solemnly, "Your Majesty's decree is here, search for me!"

Ling Mohan rushed in directly with the guards of the Zuowei Mansion. Anyone who tried to stop them on the way was considered to be disobeying the imperial decree and was arrested on the spot.

Duke Yang was so angry that his eyes widened. He stared at Si Yan with his old eyes, his fingers trembling. "Okay, okay, okay, you must search today, right? You'd better find the Wei Shu for me. If you can't find it, even if this Duke risks his life, he will go to His Majesty and accuse you, this witch, and let His Majesty kill you."

"It's up to you, Duke." Si Yan replied softly, and Duke Yang's beard twitched three more times.

Half an hour later, the guards of the Zuowei Mansion searched Duke Yang's mansion from top to bottom, but did not even find a trace of Wei Shu.

Ling Mohan shook his head secretly at Si Yan and continued to order: "Search again! See if there are any hidden rooms, wall mezzanines, or attics..."

At this time, Boya stepped forward gently: "Ayan, Wei Shuding is in the Duke of Yang's mansion. He has not left since he came in."

Si Yan nodded. She still trusted the people of the Bo family.

But it is very strange that Duke Yang is so confident.

Si Yan's eyes swept across the quiet courtyard, looking at the people in Duke Yang's mansion. Suddenly, a respectful woman caught her attention.

The next moment, Si Yan's eyes became sharp and he stared at the woman fiercely.

At this moment, Yan Longyi also stepped forward and whispered in Si Yan's ear: "Ah Yan, the woman behind Duke Yang is very strange."

Si Yan chuckled and glanced over coldly: "Mr. Wei, come out."
