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

Near noon, the sun was shining brightly, and a carriage that could not be more ordinary drove out of the palace.

No one would have thought that this was the carriage ridden by the current Regent of Daxuan. Even Qi Xiu Ran was a little surprised.

Has Si Yan always been so low-key when he goes out?

He even had some doubts, as there was no trace of Si Yan in those luxuriously decorated carriages in the past.

True and false, real and fake, Si Yan is indeed cunning!

Thinking about what he was going to do today, Qi Xiu Ran couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Si Yan's vigilance exceeded his expectations.

However, since Si Yan invited him to ride in the same carriage with him, it meant that Si Yan had feelings for him and was not so wary of him.

Wait a minute, is Si Yan really not wary of him? Si Yan should be very clear that she is the murderer of his father.

The more Qi Xiu Ran thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

No matter what, today they have already shot the arrow and there is no turning back. Everyone is waiting for his action.

Then, he killed Si Yan in one fell swoop.

What he had to do was actually very simple. He just had to sit beside Si Yan for half an incense stick of time and wait...

The carriage rumbled towards the residence of the General Protector of the Nation.

Si Yan didn't even call to stop halfway, and he didn't stop the carriage when passing Yayue Pavilion and Situ Mansion.

There is only one street between Situ Mansion and the General Protector's Mansion. You can reach it by passing this street.

In order to give him enough time to act, all their men were lying in ambush here, and they would take action when the carriage passed by.

At this time, Si Yan was reading a geography notebook in the carriage. Suddenly, he raised his eyes and looked at Qi Xiu Ran opposite him.

"What kind of incense did you use today? It smells so good..."

Qi Xiuran's eyebrows jumped, and he quickly replied: "Replying to the Regent, it's just ordinary sandalwood."

"Really?" Si Yan slowly put the book down and shouted outside the carriage, "Stop."

Qi Xiu Ran was slightly stunned, then looked up at Si Yan. The time was almost enough.

According to the original plan, Si Yan should have lost all his strength after inhaling the incense on his body for half an incense stick in the closed space of the carriage.

However, Qi Xiu Ran was not sure. Si Yan was very skilled in martial arts, so he did not dare to take risks easily.

Moreover, this place is still two hundred steps away from their ambush site.

They bought a yard here and dug a secret passage in the yard that could connect to the outside of the block.

Their people were transported here from outside the block through secret passages, avoiding the frequent patrols of the guards in this block.

"Prince Regent, is there anything I can help you with? We're almost at the Protectorate General's Mansion..."

Qi Xiu Ran didn't understand what Si Yan was thinking, so he suppressed his nervousness and looked at Si Yan.

Although this place is still some distance away from where they are ambushing, their men are monitoring on the roof and will take corresponding actions soon.

Now that Si Yan has entered this street, he can't run away.

"Regent, is there something wrong?" Yi Jiangfeng quickly stepped forward and asked Si Yan's opinion.

Si Yan gently lifted the carriage curtain: "It's okay, just a little stuffy, let's rest here for a while, you can ask someone to check it out, and we'll go over after General Ling Mo Ran returns to the mansion."

Qi Xiu Ran couldn't help but frown. Now that he was here, Si Yan still wanted to wait here for a while?

However, Si Yan said that she felt a little depressed, so does that mean that she was tricked?

"Yes." Yi Jiangfeng responded and retreated.

"Is the Regent feeling unwell? Do you want to lean on my shoulder?" Qi Xiu Ran looked at Si Yan and spoke tentatively.

"No need." Si Yan said, slowly closed his eyes and leaned against the carriage.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside, followed by very subtle noises all around, and the sound of weapons being unsheathed.

Si Yan took in all the noises around him, but remained calm, as if he was unaware of anything.

Yi Jiangfeng noticed the movement and put his hand on the hilt of the sword.

At this moment, a rain of arrows suddenly shot towards the carriage, and then a group of men in black jumped off the roof, shouting and rushing towards the carriage.

"There's an assassin!" The surrounding imperial guards immediately drew their swords and protected the carriage.

"Protect the Regent!" Yi Jiangfeng led his imperial guards to block the flying arrows around the carriage.

At the same time, some of the imperial guards drew their bows and shot back at the assassin with precision.

They were methodical and calm, as if they had known that there would be an attack today.

"You evil woman who brings disaster to the country! Today is the day of your death." A low and sharp shout suddenly came from the roof.

At the front of the street, two gates opened quickly, and a large number of masked men in black rushed out and rushed towards the carriage.

Si Yan sat in the carriage without moving. She opened her eyes and looked at Qi Xiuran in front of her: "It smells so good, are you really using ordinary sandalwood?"

Qi Xiuran's heart sank. It seemed that Si Yan already knew their plan.

Does she know?

From the time the outsiders launched the attack until now, not a single arrow has been fired. This is very strange...

The sound of increasingly fierce fighting could be heard outside. Qi Xiuran looked at Si Yan and said, "Regent..."

"I asked you if you used ordinary sandalwood?" Si Yan's expression became a little serious, and he just looked at Qi Xiu Ran.

Qi Xiuran felt a cold sweat on his back: "Yes, yes, Regent... Something seems wrong outside, as if someone is trying to assassinate us? I'm a little scared..."

Qi Xiu Ran had an innocent and frightened look on his face, and he leaned towards Si Yan's direction.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you..." Si Yan gave Qi Xiuran a reassuring look with a faint smile on his face, "Just sit there, Marquis Boguang will take care of everything."

Qi Xiuran was shocked, but a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Bo... Marquis Bo Guang is here?"

"Yeah, listen to the sounds outside..."

Qi Xiu Ran's face turned pale. Wasn't Boya being held back by their people?

It can't be coming so fast!

Qi Xiuran gently lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw Boya standing on the street outside.

Behind Boya were a large number of guards from the Zuowei Mansion, who protected the carriage tightly.

"Surround the entire block and don't let any suspicious person go."

Boya's voice exploded in the wide street, gentle yet a bit cold, which made Qi Xiu Ran tremble all over.

Si Yan smiled and looked at Qi Xiuran: "Don't be afraid, Marquis Boguang said he won't let anyone go, and he won't let anyone go."

Qi Xiu Ran always felt that Si Yan had something else in his words. Anyone, including him?

The people outside are all masters from the second largest hidden family in the world.

After several years of training, their martial arts skills have improved rapidly and are no worse than those hidden masters of the Bo family.

At this time, Qi Xiu Ran pulled out the hairpin from her head and held it in her hand.

His long hair fell down, covering half of his face. "Don't worry, Regent. Even if assassins come, I will protect you."

Si Yan looked at the hairpin in Qi Xiuran's hand and smiled: "Okay, okay..."

"Don't worry, Regent." Qi Xiu Ran seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage and looked at Si Yan steadily.

Half an incense stick of time has passed, and Si Yan must have lost his strength.

He took advantage of this opportunity to stab the hairpin into Si Yan's heart.
