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

When Si Yan returned to the side hall, it was already dusk and the setting sun was all over the sky.

The location of Changsheng Hall is very good. The main hall is spacious and bright with plenty of sunlight. The side hall is a good place to enjoy the sunset.

In order to make it easier for Qi Ziyu to receive medical treatment, Si Ru has been living here. Even after being away for two months, things here remain unchanged.

The little girl had finished bathing and was only wearing a middle shirt, with her half-dry hair draped over her shoulders.

Si Yan was surprised to find that the skinny little girl had now grown into a graceful and elegant young girl with a budding figure.

The little girl has a pair of big watery eyes and a round face like a porcelain doll, beautiful and cute.

Si Ru smiled and looked at Si Yan: "Sister Yan, I have asked someone to prepare hot water for you. Do you want to take a shower first?"

"Okay." Si Yan responded softly, went into the bathroom and took a good bath.

Soaking my body in hot water swept away all the fatigue from the long-distance running in the past few days.

When Si Yan came back, she saw Si Ru sitting on the bed in a daze, as if waiting for her.

Hearing the noise, Si Ru quickly raised her head: "Sister Yan, can we sleep together tonight? If not..."

"sure."

Si Yan is a highly alert person and rarely sleeps with others.

She suddenly decided to live in a side hall, and the palace eunuchs had not yet had time to arrange an extra bed.

Si Ru was overjoyed and ran over to hug Si Yan's arm: "Sister Yan is the best."

"Little girl, did you cry again just now?" Si Yan looked at Si Ru's red eyes and knew that she was crying again.

"Sister Aru, His Majesty's condition is not optimistic. Aru is very scared..."

Si Ru said this and threw herself into Si Yan's arms.

Si Yan patted Si Ru's back and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, Ru. With your sister here, nothing will happen to His Majesty."

Si Yan knew that she was more afraid of losing His Majesty than anyone else.

"Sister, has His Majesty agreed?" Si Ru raised her little face and looked at Si Yan eagerly.

"Aru, this matter cannot be rushed. His Majesty is the emperor after all. He holds great power and is the supreme ruler. I can't ask His Majesty to hand over power..."

Aju needs at least three to five years for His Majesty to completely leave the palace and recuperate.

This is equivalent to asking Your Majesty to give up the emperor's power. Everyone has desires, and what the emperor wants must be determined step by step.

"I understand. I'm sorry to have put my sister in a difficult position." Si Ru looked at Si Yan sensibly.

Sister Ayan is reviewing memorials for His Majesty today, and is actually risking her life to test His Majesty's reaction.

Fortunately, His Majesty did not say anything to my sister and agreed that she could continue to deal with the memorials tomorrow.

It can be seen that Sister Ayan holds a very important position in His Majesty's mind.

"Give me a little more time. Now that I'm in the palace, His Majesty can rest well. You should stabilize His Majesty's condition first."

Si Ru nodded: "I will do my best, but, sister, His Majesty can't delay for too long..."

"Yes, I understand." Si Yan gave Si Ru a reassuring look, "You've been tired all day too, take a good rest."

"Sister is the most tired, sister, have a good rest." Si Ru smiled, "Sister, I don't sleep well, I sleep outside, sister sleeps inside."

"Okay, anything is fine." Si Yan looked at the little girl in front of him with a hint of doting in his eyes.

Neither of them slept much that night.

Si Yan saw that Si Ru got up five or six times in one night. She was very careful every time, but she couldn't hide it from Si Yan at all.

Even the slightest movement around him would wake Si Yan up.

Si Ru went to the emperor's bedroom to check on Qi Ziyu's condition. After coming back, she always shed tears silently, but tried her best to hold them back.

Si Yan knew that Qi Ziyu’s condition could not be delayed any longer.

She had to deal with all the matters in the palace as soon as possible so that Qi Ziyu could leave and recuperate with peace of mind.

The next morning, after breakfast, Si Yan asked Eunuch Gu directly in front of Qi Ziyu.

"Eunuch Gu, on the day His Majesty drank, did His Majesty take the initiative to drink, or did someone suggest it?"

Eunuch Gu was serving beside Qi Ziyu. When he heard Si Yan's question, he hurried over.

"My Lord, when Miss Si Ru left, she told His Majesty not to serve alcohol. We old servants all remember this."

What he meant was that Qi Ziyu wanted to drink it himself, and Eunuch Gu just didn't want to say anything bad about the emperor.

"Your Majesty, do you want to drink wine or medicinal wine?" Si Yan glanced at the eunuchs with a sharp look.

The eunuchs immediately felt that the atmosphere was not right, and Eunuch Gu realized that this matter might not be simple.

Qi Ziyu couldn't help but ponder. Ah Yan wouldn't ask about this for no reason.

Eunuch Gu recalled the scene of that day: "Sir, His Majesty is right. He wants to... want to drink."

Si Yan looked at Gu Yuan and said, "So, His Majesty didn't ask for the medicinal wine. It was you who gave it to His Majesty?"

"Yes." Eunuch Gu nodded, feeling a little nervous. Could there be something going on here?

"Then who suggested giving Your Majesty the medicinal wine?"

"Yes……"

"Yes, I am your servant." Just as Eunuch Gu was about to speak, the eunuch Hu Wen beside him came forward and knelt down in front of Si Yan.

Hu Wen's eyes were red as she took the initiative to admit her fault: "My Lord, I am guilty. I shouldn't have suggested that Your Majesty drink the medicinal wine. I just thought that Your Majesty was cold and that drinking some medicinal wine could warm him up."

Si Yan stared at Hu Wen for a while: "You are really thoughtful."

"Sir..." Hu Wen looked at Si Yan blankly, not understanding what Si Yan meant.

"You were too thoughtful and almost killed His Majesty." Si Yan's expression turned cold.

Hu Wen was immediately sweating profusely, and he prostrated himself on the ground. "My Lord, I almost harmed His Majesty. I really deserve to die, but I had good intentions. I didn't know that the medicinal wine would harm His Majesty's health..."

"You don't know?" Si Yan sneered. "Didn't Aru make it clear? His Majesty can't even drink alcohol, yet you dare to suggest giving His Majesty medicinal wine when he wants to drink. Are you really that bold, or did you listen to someone?"

"Sir, I'm wronged. I just remembered what Imperial Physician He said: medicinal wine can warm the body, so I dared..."

"How dare you harm His Majesty for your fellow countryman, the King of the Southwest?"

Hu Wen's face suddenly changed. He looked at Si Yan with horror and trembled. "My Lord, this is unjust. This is really unjust! This servant and the King of the Southwest are strangers..."

"Eunuch Gu, where is Hu Wen's hometown?"

Eunuch Gu thought for a moment and looked at Hu Wen in disbelief: "He is from Kuncheng in the southwest."

When the late emperor was still Prince Yu, he led his troops to conquer the barbarians in the southwest and incorporated the southwest into the territory of Daxuan.

This Hu Wen was a person who came from the southwest. If Si Yan hadn't mentioned it, Eunuch Gu would have never expected it.

Hu Wen entered the palace when he was young and has been there for more than ten years. No one would think about where he came from.

If this matter is related to the King of Southwest, then it would be a big problem.

"Come here, drag Hu Wen away and torture him severely to find out what his relationship with the King of Southwest is."

Yi Jiangfeng received the order and immediately stepped forward and pulled Hu Wen away.

Qi Ziyu looked at Si Yan: "Ayan, do you suspect the King of Southwest?"

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the identity of the King of Southwest?"

Qi Ziyu nodded. "The King of the Southwest is my father's elder brother. When the other kings and my father were fighting for the throne, he withdrew from the fight due to the low status of his mother's family and requested to go to the southwestern fiefdom to manage the border. Over the years, the southwest region has developed very well under his governance."

Si Yan was silent for a moment, then asked, "Your Majesty, what else did the King of Southwest bring with him this time besides the medicinal wine?"

Qi Ziyu's face was uneasy for a moment: "The King of Southwest brought a group of women and wanted to send them to the harem, but I didn't agree..."
