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

Chapter 260 Please, Your Majesty, let me out of the palace

When Qi Ziyu said this, his breathing became a little rapid, and all the ministers couldn't help but feel worried.

The new emperor has just been poisoned and has not recovered yet. He should have a good rest.

"Eunuch Gu, pour His Majesty a glass of water." Si Ru looked at Qi Ziyu's cracked lips and ordered.

Eunuch Gu quickly asked someone to bring a cup of hot water.

Si Ru smelled it, took another sip, and made sure it was not poisonous before giving it to Qi Ziyu.

"Your Majesty, it's not poisonous." Si Ru said in a low voice.

The ministers looked at Si Ru in surprise as she drank the water from the emperor's cup, and they didn't know what to say.

Qi Ziyu's throat felt so uncomfortable that he couldn't bear it any more. He took the water and drank it in one gulp without caring about anything else.

Qi Ziyu felt much more comfortable, coughed lightly twice, and tried his best to regain his composure.

"My dear ministers, please come here today. The rest of the rewards will be announced after I, Lord Si Yan, the Grand Tutor, and the Emperor's uncle have discussed it. Now that I have ascended the throne, all priority is our father's funeral. The formal coronation ceremony will be presided over by the Ministry of Rites after the funeral."

When the Minister of Rites Song Yi heard the new emperor mention the Ministry of Rites, his heart trembled.

He originally thought that since he was once a member of Prime Minister Xin's party, he would surely die after the new emperor came to the throne.

Unexpectedly, the new emperor did not touch him.

But Song Yi also knew that the new emperor was short of people in various departments, so he did not touch him.

He still had to find an opportunity to retire and return home...

The court officials slowly withdrew, and only the emperor's close relatives remained in the emperor's bedroom. Si Zhengxuan and Qi Guang'an went to the late emperor's mourning hall on behalf of the new emperor, and Si Yan stayed here.

When Si Ru checked the medicinal materials sent by the Imperial Hospital, she would personally supervise the cooking of the medicine and taste it herself before giving it to the emperor.

She planned that from now on, she would carefully check and taste anything Qi Ziyu ate before he ate it.

When Si Ru thought of this, tears could not help falling. It was all her fault, all her fault...

The ministers hastily supported the new emperor to ascend the throne, but some of today's matters were still unresolved.

Ling Mohan glanced at Han Hu and Qin Haojie beside him with a cold look.

"Your Majesty, there are two people here who are plotting treason. Please punish them."

Qi Ziyu was silent for a moment: "These two people will be executed, and their family members will be exiled to the border."

Han Hu and Qin Haojie both knelt down with tears in their eyes to express their gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

They thought their property would be confiscated and their families would be exterminated, but unexpectedly the new emperor showed leniency.

"Drag down."

At Ling Mohan's command, Yi Jiangfeng immediately led his men forward and dragged the two away.

Ling Mohan's expression was as cold as ice, and his eyes were red as he looked at his former friend.

Han Hu also looked up at Ling Mohan, tears in his eyes: "Go ahead, Mohan."

"Why are you rebelling?" Ling Mohan asked in a hoarse voice.

He once asked Han Hu to look after A Yan. He trusted Han Hu so much, but Han Hu pointed the sword in his hand at A Yan.

Today, hundreds of imperial guards stormed into the prince's bedroom. If Ayan had not been strong enough, both Ayan and the prince would have died.

Han Hu smiled bitterly: "The Queen Mother saved my life, I have to repay her."

Five years ago, when Concubine Xin was still in great favor, he accidentally offended Concubine Xin. The late emperor wanted to kill him, but the empress dowager pleaded for him and he was spared.

At that time, he made up his mind to repay the Queen Mother.

Later, he was promoted to deputy commander of the imperial guards for his merits, and he wanted to repay the empress dowager for saving his life.

However, Han Hu never expected that the Queen Mother would ask him to join in the rebellion.

He knew that it would be difficult for the Queen Mother to succeed, but he still chose to perish with her.

"Do you have any last words?" Ling Mohan asked indifferently.

"No, Mo Han." Han Hu said with a smile, "Your Majesty has spared the lives of my family. I have no regrets in dying under your sword."

Ling Mohan was silent for a moment, looked at Han Hu, raised the sword in his hand, and stabbed it into Han Hu's heart.

Han Hu spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground with a smile.

Ling Mohan's eyes were moist. He turned to look at Qin Haojie, and without saying a word, he cut off his head with a sword.

Ling Mohan suppressed his expression and returned to report, "Your Majesty, the two have been executed."

"Okay." Qi Ziyu nodded and looked at Ling Mohan with a gentle expression. "General Ling, I know you are well-versed in military books and have the talent to be a general. Now you are serving as the commander of the imperial guards in the palace. It is really a waste of talent. However, I am short of people around me now, so I have to wrong you for the time being."

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about?" Ling Mohan said sincerely, "It is my honor to serve Your Majesty. Protecting Your Majesty is protecting Daxuan."

Qi Ziyu looked at Ling Mohan with admiration. Ling Mohan had experienced the lows of his family's decline and had also worked as an ordinary guard in Shangjing City.

The experiences of these years have tempered his mind and made him more and more mature.

At this moment, a woman covered in blood walked out from the side hall and knelt down in front of Qi Ziyu.

"Wu Wan'er pays homage to the new emperor. Long live the emperor."

Si Yan said softly to Qi Ziyu, "Your Majesty, Miss Wu Wan'er and I fought against the rebellious imperial guards today and performed a great service."

In fact, Wu Wan'er has been silently standing on their side since she entered the palace.

The first time Wu Wan'er was dancing at the palace banquet, she discovered that Qi Ziyu was poisoned and brought it up in time.

Later, when they were trying to overthrow Concubine Xin, Wu Wan'er helped provide evidence.

Now, Wu Wan'er is risking her life again to kill the rebels together with Si Yan.

Wu Wan'er is a smart and brave woman. She has been paving the way for today step by step.

"He should be rewarded." Qi Ziyu said.

Wu Wan'er straightened her back and bowed to Qi Ziyu: "Your Majesty, Wu Wan'er does not want any reward."

"Then what do you want?" Qi Ziyu asked.

Wu Wan'er bit her lip and said boldly, "Wu Wan'er requests Your Majesty to let me leave the palace."

Qi Ziyu was silent for a moment: "Okay, I allow you to leave the palace."

Qi Ziyu then added, "Give Miss Wu Wan'er a hundred taels of gold, a thousand taels of silver, and a BMW."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wu Wan'er regained her freedom and kowtowed three times to Qi Ziyu.

Wu Wan'er took the emperor's reward, looked at Qi Ziyu, and then looked at Si Yan: "Wu Wan'er is leaving, Your Majesty take care, Lord Si Yan take care."

After she finished speaking, she walked out without looking back.

Si Yan slowly stood up and said to Qi Ziyu, "Your Majesty, I will go and see Miss Wu Wan'er off."

"Okay." Qi Ziyu responded.

Seeing Si Yan following her out, Wu Wan'er couldn't help but stop and looked at Si Yan with a smile: "Master Si Yan, Wu Wan'er really admires you."

"Where are you going?" Si Yan walked to Wu Wan'er and looked at her gently.

Wu Wan'er was silent for a moment, her eyes reddening: "I want to go home and take a look."

Si Yan said calmly: "The Xitu Kingdom has been destroyed."

Wu Wan'er was surprised. She looked at Si Yan with her big eyes like black grapes and asked, "How did you know I was from Xitu?"

"Not only do I know you are from Xitu, I also know you are the youngest daughter of the Xitu King, the only little princess of Xitu. You also have three brothers, one of whom was killed, and the whereabouts of two are unknown."

Tears glistened in Wu Wan'er's eyes. "No wonder you are so successful in the Great Xuan Dynasty. You even investigated my identity as a dancer sent by the Northern Mang Kingdom so thoroughly. How could you imagine someone who is your opponent?"

Si Yan was silent for a moment, then looked at Wu Wan'er and said, "I'll give you some advice. If you want to go to Beimang Country to save your father, you can go find King Hao. If you want to return to Daxuan in the future, you can come find me."

"King Hao?" Wu Wan'er asked doubtfully.

"Well, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. If Miss Wu Wan'er wants to achieve great things, she must learn to form alliances with others. You can give it a try."

Wu Wan'er nodded and said solemnly, "Thank you, Lord Si Yan. See you later."
