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

After Si Yan returned from King Yong's place, he went to see Si Ce, Si Zhe and other children. Seeing that they were all settled and asleep, he returned to his room.

She had just finished bathing and was thinking about going to see the crazy uncle and the one-armed uncle that Sice mentioned in the next two days.

Si Rong came to report that Yunqiao was coming.

Si Yan thought something had happened to Prince Yong again, but he saw a simple bag hanging on Yunqiao's shoulder.

Si Yan suddenly understood everything.

She turned to look at Si Rong and ordered, "Prepare a room upstairs. Young Master Yunqiao will live with us from now on."

"Yes, young lady." Si Rong responded and hurried down to make arrangements.

"Hello, Miss Si." Yunqiao bowed.

Miss Si was really smart. She knew his purpose before he even opened his mouth.

"Thank you for your hard work today." Si Yan looked at the tired man and spoke softly.

"Miss Si, you're too polite."

Yunqiao smiled slightly, "The prince asked me to stay with Miss Si and wait for her orders. Yunqiao will bother you from now on."

"What are you talking about? I'd love for you to come over." Si Yan said with a smile.

Si Yan also knew that Yun Qiao was tired after a day of work, so he exchanged a few simple words with him and let him go down to rest.

When Si Yan thought of Yan Longyi, his heart couldn't help but soften.

The man knew that she needed Yunqiao, so he sent Yunqiao to her without saying a word.

Si Yan felt his kindness and warmth.

Si Yan sorted out the collected information and made a list of the powerful people in the capital.

In the current Daxuan court, most of the people are from the party of Prime Minister Xin Guifei.

There are people around her father, but not many. Many of them have been suppressed or lost their power and have no voice.

Si Yan also noticed that there were a small number of ministers in the court who were supporters of the deposed crown prince.

Since the crown prince was deposed, some of them have joined the prime minister's party, but some have been at odds with the prime minister's party.

Of course, this group of people was also severely suppressed.

Si Yan analyzed several forces in the court as the night gradually deepened.

There was fog in the evening, the air was icy cold, and the soldiers at the border had all fallen asleep.

Si Yan's room was still brightly lit.

Si Qingshan walked past the door and saw that the light in his sister's room was still on, so he couldn't help but knock on the door.

"Little girl, why don't you take a break?"

Ever since this girl came to the border, she has been resting later and later every day.

She used to go to bed early, but now she often sits at her desk thinking until late at night.

Not only did she go to bed late, she also got up early. Every day when the rooster crowed, she would get up to train.

This girl has become a different person since coming to the border.

"Brother, is there something wrong?" Si Yan opened the door and invited Si Qingshan in.

"If there's nothing wrong, then why can't you come?" Si Qingshan looked at his sister with a smile, his eyes full of helplessness and doting. "Why are you staying up late again?"

"Fortunately, it's not too late."

If this happened in modern times, it would be around nine o'clock in the evening, but the ancients went to bed early, so this time was already quite late for them.

Si Yan raised his eyes and looked at Si Qingshan: "Brother, you came here at this time, there must be something."

Si Qingshan did have something to do.

His expression grew serious. "Father sent a message by carrier pigeon, saying that His Majesty has issued an order for the army to return to the capital. The imperial edict will arrive soon."

"Yeah." Si Yan nodded, his expression calm. "The battle at the border is over, and it's time to start the battle in the capital."

"Prince Chen is now missing, and the Imperial Concubine will definitely hold us accountable."

Si Qingshan sighed lightly. Whenever he thought about the situation he would face when he returned to Shangjing, he felt overwhelmed.

"King Chen was scared away by the enemy, so we can't be blamed. Besides, King Chen is fine."

"Ayan knows the whereabouts of Prince Chen?"

"I know." Si Yan said calmly, "Prince Chen has such a valuable treasure, I made good use of it."

"Ayan, what did you do?" Si Qingshan was very surprised.

Si Yan said coldly, "He is the dignified Prince Daxuan. He has a mother who is deeply favored by the emperor, an uncle who is powerful in the court, and a brother, Prince Xin. Trading him for millions of taels of silver is not too much, right..."

Si Qingshan couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Girl, this is not a joke."

"Brother, I'm not kidding, the money is already in hand."

Their people have threatened to kill King Chen if they don't get the money within half a month.

Compared to Prince Chen's life, the Imperial Concubine and Prime Minister Xin were still willing to pay several million taels of silver.

"Girl! Is this true?" Si Qingshan stared at Si Yan in shock.

"it is true."

"Why hasn't the court sent any news asking us to rescue Prince Chen?"

"They don't have the nerve to do that. Our bandit brothers have made it clear that they are arresting deserters from the battlefield. If this alarms the imperial court, everyone will know that Prince Chen is a deserter at the border."

Si Yan spoke calmly, "Besides, after Prince Chen escaped, Prince Yong would naturally regain power. It's hard to say whether Prince Yong would take the opportunity to kill Prince Chen or save him. Concubine Xin would not risk her own son's life."

"So, they just gave the money obediently?" Si Qingshan couldn't believe it.

"Yes." Si Yan nodded, "For the sake of King Chen's life, they had no choice but to give it to him. They also thought about taking it back, but they didn't find the opportunity.

"This amount of silver will be enough for us to use for a while. If we want to deal with the Imperial Noble Consort Xin and Prime Minister's party, we must have silver. Relying solely on my brother and father's salary, we can't even buy a piece of information.

"Besides, this money is the blood and sweat of the people that they have extorted through heavy taxes. We should use it for the right purpose. Toppling them is precisely to eliminate this evil for the people."

"Where is King Chen now?" Si Qingshan asked.

"It's at Xiongyue Pass."

"Ayan, how did you do all these things? How come big brother doesn't know anything about it?"

"I asked the King of Yan for some help, and the bandits were also played by the King of Yan's men."

Si Qingshan looked at his sister in front of him and couldn't say a word for a long time.

This girl spent more than twenty days digging ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum in the deep mountains and forests, but she was not idle and was always carrying out her plan.

Si Qingshan just felt that this girl was too bold and too close to Prince Yan.

"Ayan..." Si Qingshan thought about what the guards reported today and hesitated whether to speak.

"Brother, just speak frankly." Si Yan said.

"You and King Yan? You..."

"Yes, brother." Si Yan only said a few words, but he had already acknowledged his relationship with King Yan.

"Do you know that you are the fiancée of Prince Yong?"

When Si Qingshan heard his subordinates come back and say what happened between A Yan and King Yan on the mountain, he was completely stunned.

He thought his subordinates were talking nonsense and almost beat them up. Later, he asked Si Rong and confirmed that it was true.

This girl is actually with Prince Yan.

"I know." Si Yan replied softly.

"If Prince Yong knew about you and Prince Yan..."

"Prince Yong already knows." Si Yan said, and handed the silk that Prince Yong gave her today to Si Qingshan.

When Si Qingshan saw the above content, he was immediately confused. This girl and Prince Yan were in love with each other, and Prince Yong also knew about it. He agreed to cancel the engagement with this girl and took all the responsibility on himself.

Prince Yong wrote on a piece of silk that he was canceling the engagement because he was ill.

Si Qingshan shook his head: "The marriage that Your Majesty is referring to cannot be dissolved just because Prince Yong says so..."

"Yeah." Si Yan nodded, "Don't worry, we can talk about it later."

"But Ah Yan, how come brother remembers that you liked Ling Mohan? Even if you didn't like Prince Yong, you wouldn't choose Prince Yan."

Didn't she like Ling Mohan? Why would she choose the King of Yan? This is too outrageous...
