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

The big tent was silent and the air was heavy with pressure.

Flames danced in the stove, and the fiery red light illuminated the faces of the two people.

Yan Longyi gently lifted the wine pot: "Prince Yong also has his own difficulties."

Yan Longyi looked calm and poured himself a glass of wine. He could understand Qi Ziyu's choice, but he would never forgive him.

The wound on his thigh from the wolf poison arrow was aching slightly, and the images of five thousand soldiers fighting bloody battles were still before his eyes.

Qi Ziyu was filled with guilt: "In the end, it's my fault. I violated the covenant between us and betrayed the oath we made."

"King Yong, there is no need to mention the past." Yan Longyi said lightly.

"I'll drink three glasses of wine as a punishment." Qi Ziyu poured himself three glasses of wine in succession and drank them one by one.

Yan Longyi didn't say a word. The moment Qi Ziyu betrayed him, their relationship was over.

Yan Longyi's silence made Qi Ziyu understand his attitude.

The personal grudges between them will not affect the cooperation between the two countries, but from now on, they will never be able to open their hearts and talk about the world again.

The air was silent. Qi Ziyu's face had turned slightly red after drinking a few glasses of liquor.

He still remembered the night they met when Yan Longyi was on a diplomatic mission to the capital.

They felt a deep mutual admiration for each other and talked all night long until dawn.

Thinking about it now, it feels like a lifetime ago. The wine is the same, but the people are no longer the same.

Qi Ziyu held up his wine glass, drinking one glass after another, his mouth full of bitterness.

"If it weren't for Miss Si's enlightenment, I might still be obsessed with it."

"Miss Si?" There was some interest in Yan Longyi's eyes.

Qi Ziyu smiled and said, "Yes, I am the daughter of Daxuan Situ, Si Yan."

"Miss Si is indeed a special woman. She saved my life, and I will never forget her kindness." When talking about Si Yan, Yan Longyi showed a faint smile in his eyes.

Qi Ziyu also laughed and said, "After our army attacked the Beimang army at night this time, I originally planned to stop there. It was Miss Si who persuaded me to pursue the Beimang army. She also determined that you would come. No one believed it, but in the end you came."

"Miss Si is far-sighted and has a vision and courage far beyond the reach of ordinary people."

Yan Longyi has a very high opinion of Si Yan. Qi Ziyu can even feel that Yan Longyi has changed completely when Si Yan is mentioned.

Qi Ziyu said slowly: "It is a great honor to have Miss Si as my fiancée."

Yan Longyi's eyes suddenly became sharp as he stared at Qi Ziyu: "Fiancée?"

"Yes, that's right. The King of Yan may not know this yet. This was just decided before we set out on the expedition."

Yan Longyi's eyes dimmed, his knuckles holding the wine glass turned slightly white, and he almost crushed the glass in his hand.

After a while, he slowly loosened his fingers and took a sip of wine calmly.

Qi Ziyu also drank in silence.

"Miss Si came to see me today." Yan Longyi's tone turned cold. "Miss Si asked me to help Prince Yong capture Beiyan Pass."

Speaking of state affairs, Qi Ziyu sobered up a little and looked serious.

He spoke carefully, "The matter led by Miss Si will definitely benefit both countries. We will discuss the details later."

"Okay, let's leave it at that for now. It's getting late, I'll be leaving first."

After Yan Longyi finished speaking, he stood up suddenly and walked out with the help of his bamboo stick.

"I'm sending King Yan off."

Qi Ziyu personally left the tent to see Yan Longyi off. The two exchanged greetings before Yan Longyi left.

Qi Ziyu returned to the tent, his eyes suddenly darkening. He had just mentioned that Si Yan was his fiancée. Although Yan Longyi tried his best to control himself, he still couldn't hide his surprise.

He didn't know what had happened between Yan Longyi and Si Yan, but the fact that Si Yan had saved Yan Longyi's life was enough to show that the two had a deep friendship.

This girl is his fiancée. If he gets too close to Yan Longyi, it will inevitably cause criticism.

He didn't care about these things, but he had to consider the girl's reputation.

Qi Ziyu was thinking about something when suddenly there was a noise outside and a guard came hurriedly to report.

"Your Highness, the imperial envoy refused to eat or drink and is clamoring to see you."

"No." Qi Ziyu said coldly.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid keeping the envoy under house arrest isn't a good idea..."

Qi Ziyu remained silent. Ever since the imperial court issued an imperial decree forbidding him to send out troops, the special envoy Jia Zhongchun who came with him had been living in the army.

When he sent troops this time, he placed Jia Zhongchun under house arrest.

"Let me go! Let me go!" Jia Zhongchun's voice rang out from the military tent. "I am a special envoy sent by His Majesty himself. How dare you treat me like this?"

"I want to see your King Yong! Where is King Yong? King Yong, come out!"

The military tent where the imperial envoy was placed under house arrest was not far from the tent where Prince Yong lived.

Qi Ziyu heard his shout even in the tent.

Jia Zhongchun shouted in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty will soon learn that Prince Yong has disobeyed the imperial edict. He will soon face great disaster."

"Let me go! I want to see Prince Yong, I want to see Qi Ziyu..."

"..."

Qi Ziyu raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, feeling his heart was in a mess.

He also knew that he had disobeyed the imperial decree and that the truth would eventually come to light, so he was mentally prepared.

At the door of Prince Yong's tent, Si Yan's figure appeared here at some unknown time.

Si Yan stepped forward and ordered in a deep voice, "Shroud the envoy's mouth until he is willing to stop. If he wants to go on a hunger strike, then satisfy him."

Zuo Hang looked at the fiancée of Prince Yong and hesitated: "Miss Si, this..."

"Do as I say."

"Do as Miss Si said. Please come in, Miss Si." Qi Ziyu's voice came from the big tent.

Si Yan lifted the curtain and strode in.

The cups and plates in the tent had not been cleared away yet, and the atmosphere was quite depressing. It was obvious that Prince Yong was in a bad mood.

Qi Ziyu slowly stood up and gave Si Yan a forced smile: "Miss Si is here, Prince Yan just left."

"Yeah, I know." Si Yan nodded and walked to the seat where Yan Longyi had sat before and sat down.
