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

Chapter 421 Is there someone replacing the Prince of Han?

Qi Junye:!!!

Is this woman crazy?

This time, Qi Junye widened his eyes and looked at Si Yan seriously.

When he first saw her, he only thought that this woman was beautiful, unique in the world, and breathtakingly beautiful. But when he looked at her again, he felt that she was a mystery.

He just felt that he couldn't understand this woman at all. She was definitely not an ordinary woman.

Si Yan didn't move at all, letting Qi Junye look at him.

When he had seen enough, his face flushed slightly and he looked away, then he chuckled and said, "Sit down."

Her tone was so casual and nonchalant, as if what had just happened was just a trivial matter.

This is an assassination, how can she be so calm?

Qi Junye didn't quite understand, but he also knew that since the Queen Regent had spoken, he would be safe for at least three years, and she would not touch the Wuhou Mansion.

Si Yan sat down with a group of princes and their descendants. "Which dish are you worried is poisonous? Let me try it first."

Boya gave a look, and someone immediately stepped forward: "Regent, let me taste it first."

"Okay." Si Yan knew that this was Boya's intention and nodded. "Try all the dishes on the table to see if they are poisonous."

"Will they take the antidote first?" A boy of about twelve or thirteen asked vigilantly, holding chopsticks.

His stomach was growling with hunger, but he still resisted the urge to eat.

"It's not poisonous!" Qi Junye glanced at the young man, lowered his head and started eating.

Seeing Qi Junye had started eating, the young man couldn't help but pick up his chopsticks.

Everyone looked at each other and finally started eating. They were all hungry.

Si Yan glanced at a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy and asked softly, "What's your name?"

The young man lowered his head, as if he didn't know Si Yan was calling him. He was just busy eating, as if blocking out everything around him.

Si Rong received his young lady's gaze, slowly walked to the young man and patted him on the shoulder.

The boy suddenly shuddered all over and looked up with horror in his eyes.

Si Rong said in a casual tone, "Sir, the Regent asked what your name is?"

The young girl looked around and raised her head in a daze. Seeing Si Yan looking at her, she couldn't help but lower her head again.

"My...my name is Qi Dongtian..."

After the boy said this, he continued to eat with his head down, without even looking up.

Everyone looked at the shy boy, who seemed to be trembling.

It was understandable that one would be a little nervous and restrained when first arriving in the capital, but this young man seemed strangely frightened.

There were many children present who were younger than him, but they did not show such fear.

Suddenly, someone at the table spoke up, "Prince Regent, this Prince Han is quite strange. Even in such a hot day, he has a handkerchief wrapped around his neck."

"Yeah, I asked him to take it off, but he didn't want to."

"Prince Han, we are all sweating in the heat, are you still cold?"

Hearing the discussions around him and even someone calling his name, the boy lowered his head even more.

Si Yan looked at the silk scarf around the boy's neck and his pale face, and almost guessed something.

Si Yan remained calm, looking around, only to hear someone suddenly sneer, "I know why she's wearing that thing."

"Why?" someone asked immediately.

"Because she is a woman."

"Ah?" Everyone showed doubt in their eyes and looked at the Prince of Han.

The Prince of Han seemed to have not expected that someone would expose her in public. For a moment, his face turned pale and his body shook even more violently.

Qi Junye sneered and continued eating.

Even if Marquis Han wanted to find someone to impersonate the prince, he should have found a man. I wonder why he found a woman?

"How did you know?"

"She's so coy and effeminate. The other day, I just reached out and patted her shoulder, and she almost jumped up. Also, her voice is effeminate. She wears a scarf because, I heard, all men of that age have Adam's apples..."

For a moment, everyone started talking in low voices.

Si Yan looked over and said calmly, "Are you a girl?"

The Prince of Han was speechless for a moment: "I... I..."

"Tell the truth." Si Yan's voice was very gentle, like a breeze, gently blowing into people's hearts.

"I'm a girl." The boy opposite seemed unable to hold back any longer and burst into tears with a "wow".

Everyone was stunned. Is this even possible? Impersonation?

Except for Qi Junye, everyone else put down their chopsticks. The air was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. It was deathly silent.

For a moment, everyone didn't know whether they should feel pity for the girl or be afraid of Si Yan?

Marquis Han violated the imperial decree and replaced the Crown Prince of Han with a woman. This is a crime of deceiving the emperor!

Boya frowned slightly and immediately ordered people to investigate who brought the Prince of Han to Shangjing.

Who was checking the identity and couldn't find it? Obviously, something went wrong.

"Are you the daughter of Marquis Han?" Si Yan looked at the woman opposite him without changing his expression. He saw the girl wiping the tears from her face with her sleeve. It seemed that after her identity was exposed, she was not as scared as before.

"Yes." The girl nodded with tears in her eyes.

"Legitimate daughter, or concubine's daughter?"

"A concubine's daughter."

"Who is your mother?"

"The concubine of the King of Han, oh, no, it's the concubine of the Marquis of Han, Liu."

The woman bit her lip, seeming a little annoyed because she said the wrong thing.

Si Yan paused, his face showing an unpredictable expression. Everyone became a little nervous and secretly looked at the Queen Regent.

According to legend, the Queen Regent was cold-blooded and ruthless, treating Prime Minister Xin and her followers with an iron fist, killing them without blinking an eye.

Today she discovered that Marquis Han had deceived the court. She wondered what would happen?

"What's your name?" Si Yan gently picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip casually.

Qi Junye looked at Si Yan in surprise. No matter what happened, was this regent queen always so calm?

She was so calm when he assassinated her, and now she is still so calm when she is deceived by Marquis Han.

"My name is Qi Yaohua." The girl grabbed the corners of her clothes with both hands and said with courage.

"Yaohua?" Si Yan smiled slightly, "What a nice name."

Everyone:...

Qi Yaohua was still in shock. When she heard these words suddenly, she didn't understand what Si Yan meant for a moment.

"Come here." Si Yan waved slightly at the girl, and Qi Yaohua couldn't help but become more nervous.

She took a deep breath, finally stood up from her seat and walked towards Si Yan.

She walked very slowly, with an expression on her face as if she was walking into a place of execution.

She couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if her father deceived the Queen Regent.

Will she kill her?

Qi Yaohua walked in front of Si Yan and suddenly knelt down with a plop: "Prince Regent, please forgive my mother. My mother is innocent. She was forced by my father. Please don't implicate my mother because of my affairs."

After the girl finished speaking, tears were already streaming down her face.

She bravely took two steps forward and grabbed Si Yan's skirt.

Boya was about to ask someone to come forward, but when he saw Si Yan raise his hand, he did not move.

"Why are you crying?" Si Yan chuckled and took out a handkerchief from his arms.

She wiped the girl's tears and said, "His Majesty has issued an edict that only the princes of the various royal palaces can go to Shangjing City. Your father, the King of Han, has been demoted to the Marquis of Han, so you are the Marquis of Han's prince..."

When everyone heard this, their eyes widened and they looked at Si Yan in disbelief.

Qi Yaohua widened his eyes, not quite understanding what he meant: "But...but I'm not..."

Si Yan's lips curled slightly: "If I say you are, then you are."

Qi Yaohua was surprised: "But I'm a woman..."

"Well, from now on you will be the daughter of the Marquis' Mansion." Si Yan smiled and stuffed the handkerchief into Qi Yaohua's hand.
