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

"Someone, come and clean up the table, get a new set of bowls and chopsticks, and bring up some fresh venison soup." Qi Ziyu's voice came from the big tent.

"I've eaten." Si Yan said softly.

"It's cold, drink some venison soup to warm yourself up."

Zuo Hang quickly brought the steaming hot venison soup, so Si Yan drank some without hesitation.

Qi Ziyu smiled and said, "The King of Yan just told me that you are discussing the matter of the two countries joining forces to jointly capture Beiyan Pass."

"I was just about to tell Prince Yong about this." Si Yan raised his eyes and looked at Qi Ziyu. "The reason I went to Prince Yan first was to get a preliminary conclusion on the matter before reporting back to Prince Yong so that we can make the final decision and finalize the battle strategy."

"Miss Si, you don't have to explain. I understand."

When Qi Ziyu saw Si Yan speak out the truth, he knew that she had no intention of hiding anything.

Si Yan raised his eyes and looked at the man who was forcing himself to cheer up. "Your Highness Prince Yong, are you worried that the court will send more people?"

Qi Ziyu went to war against the imperial edict, and the court will definitely punish him.

Qi Ziyu nodded: "I am worried that the court will change generals and affect the border war."

This kind of thing has happened before. Beiyan Pass was lost after he was transferred.

"No one can influence it." Si Yan said firmly, "Your Highness, don't worry. My father will definitely make arrangements for your Highness before returning to the court."

Since the original owner's father chose Prince Yong as his son-in-law, it was equivalent to tying the fate of Situ Mansion and the fate of Prince Yong Mansion together.

If something happens to Prince Yong, Si Zhengxuan will definitely mediate and help Prince Yong out of the predicament.

Qi Ziyu took a deep breath and said, "I only thought that it would affect Prince Yong's Mansion, but I didn't expect that it would also affect Situ Mansion."

"How can you talk about getting involved?"

Si Yan said solemnly, "Everyone has their own choices. My father chose to support Prince Yong, and he naturally had his own reasons. Besides, it was me who forced Prince Yong to send troops. If there is any implicated person, it is me who implicated Prince Yong."

"Miss Si..." Qi Ziyu didn't expect Si Yan to be so frank and transparent. For a moment, his throat seemed to be blocked by something.

After a while, Qi Ziyu looked at Si Yan and said, "Miss Si, are you really willing to marry me? I have no power or influence, nor do I have the background and strength of Prince Xin, nor do I have the support of many court officials."

Prince Xin's mother was His Majesty's favorite Concubine Xin, and his uncle Xin Rui was the powerful Prime Minister. However, his biological mother died when he was a child.

Although he was raised by the Queen, ever since the Crown Prince was deposed, the Queen has been living a secluded life and no longer interferes with the affairs of the harem.

Now the entire harem is controlled by Concubine Xin, and the court is controlled by the king's brother-in-law Xin Rui.

The only person in the court who can compete with them is Si Yan's father Si Zhengxuan.

Si Yan paused: "What if I say that I don't want to marry Prince Yong?"

There was a moment of silence in the air, as if something had silently shattered.

Qi Ziyu was slightly stunned, with a look of surprise on his face.

It turned out that it was only Lord Situ who chose him, not Miss Si...

Qi Ziyu was stunned for a long while before he smiled faintly: "It makes sense that Miss Si doesn't want to marry me."

Si Yan said frankly: "Whether Prince Yong believes it or not, I really don't want to get married. It has nothing to do with power or Prince Yong's family background. I just simply don't want to get married."

She was not married at the age of 35 in her previous life, and it was even more impossible for her to get married at such a young age in this life.

Living behind high walls and raising children is not what she wants.

Getting married at such a young age and becoming a man's subordinate in ancient times was absolutely impossible.

Qi Ziyu pinched the wine glass with his fingers and finally spoke: "Excuse me, does Miss Si like Prince Yan?"

"I don't like anyone."

Si Yan said calmly, "But Your Highness, don't worry. Whether I marry Prince Yong or not, the fate of the Situ Mansion and the fate of Prince Yong's Mansion are already closely linked. The Si family and Prince Yong prosper together and suffer together."

Qi Ziyu suddenly realized that this woman who could make Yan Longyi almost unable to control his emotions was not someone he could easily catch.

She is an eagle soaring across the sky, not a canary kept in a cage.

She has lofty ambitions and won't be trapped by anyone.

Qi Ziyu smiled bitterly: "If Miss Si has no intention of me, after returning to the court, I will ask my father to cancel our engagement, so that the Situ Mansion will not be implicated."

"Thank you, Prince Yong, for your help." Si Yan raised his eyes and looked at Qi Ziyu, "But for the sake of your life, it's best not to mention the cancellation of our engagement, especially in front of my father.

"At least don't mention it until His Majesty's life is safe. As for the future, even if His Majesty doesn't mention it, there will be people who can't wait to object."

Qi Ziyu quickly understood Si Yan's good intentions.

If he didn't mention this matter, Lord Situ would stand on his side and he would have Lord Situ's support.

This time he disobeyed the imperial edict, and Lord Situ will do his best to protect him.

As for the future, even if he didn't mention it, the Imperial Noble Consort and the Prime Minister's party would find ways to cancel their engagement when they saw the Situ Mansion and the Prince Yong Mansion joining forces.

This girl thinks so thoroughly!

She didn't want to marry him, but was willing to keep him in this way.

"Okay, I understand, Miss Si." Qi Ziyu nodded with a smile on his face.

He was already content to have met this girl, so how could he dare to ask for more?

Si Yan opened her red lips slightly and said, "Your Highness Prince Yong, as the Prince of Daxuan, the prince of His Majesty, your fate is also linked to the fate of Daxuan. It's easy for you to give up, but if no one saves Daxuan, the country will be destroyed and the people will suffer."

Qi Ziyu was shocked. Si Yan's vision and pattern really made him admire him time and time again.

Si Yan said softly, "Prince Yong must look forward, towards the future of Daxuan."

"Do I still have a future?" Qi Ziyu asked.

"Yes!" Si Yan said loudly, "The future of Prince Yong is the future of Daxuan, and the future of Daxuan is Prince Yong."

Qi Ziyu only felt his heart beating wildly and the blood boiling throughout his body.

Si Yan softened his tone, "As long as Prince Yong can survive this disaster, there will be a chance for him to turn things around. In order to survive this disaster, the first thing we have to do is to take back Beiyan Pass."

Qi Ziyu was silent for a while: "Little girl, Beiyan Pass is not that easy to take."

He guarded Beiyan Pass for a whole year and knew the terrain of Beiyan Pass like the back of his hand.

The terrain of Beiyan Pass is so difficult to attack that one man can hold it back from ten thousand. It is truly easy to defend and difficult to attack, at least it cannot be taken in a short period of time.

But after a long time, the imperial edict will come down again, and the court will most likely directly replace him.

Their chances of taking Beiyan Pass were even slimmer.

"It's not easy to get, but we have to get it." Si Yan was confident, and his cold tone revealed full determination.

Qi Ziyu's expression gradually calmed down: "Miss Si, do you have any plans?"

"Yes, there is a plan." Si Yan nodded and handed a battle plan to Qi Ziyu.

Qi Ziyu didn't expect that she was so well prepared. This girl's ability to take action is really hard to match.
