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

Si Rong didn't ask much, and Si Yan didn't say much either. The master and servant got on the carriage and headed towards the city.

When the two of them went out, the sun had just risen, and when they returned to the city, the sun was already shining brightly.

As the New Year approaches, the winter in the capital begins to come alive. People come and go on the streets, buying New Year's goods. The streets are decorated with colorful lanterns, and red silk is hung high in front of the doors of each store, creating a festive atmosphere.

Si Yan admired the prosperity of Shangjing City along the way, and compared the actual scenes he saw with the map of Shangjing City he had seen in his mind.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the Ministry of Justice.

The gate of the Ministry of Justice was magnificent and solemn, with two majestic stone lions at the gate. Si Yan stood at the gate and looked inside. The guard at the gate saw him and shouted, "What are you doing here?"

Si Yan smiled slightly: "General, I'm here to see Mr. Pei, the doctor of the Ministry of Justice."

The guard looked Si Yan up and down. Seeing Si Yan's extremely beautiful appearance and extraordinary temperament, he couldn't help but ask, "Who are you, Lord Pei?"

"I'm his cousin."

The guard looked puzzled. Wasn't Master Pei already married? And why did such a beautiful cousin come to see him?

"Wait here for a moment, young lady. I'll go and inform Master Pei."

"Thank you, General."

In less than half an incense stick of time, Pei Wangjie came out. He was originally thinking that it was one of his cousins, but when he saw Si Yan, he couldn't help but be surprised.

This morning, some people in the Ministry of Justice were secretly discussing the incident of this girl beating Master Zhen yesterday. Unexpectedly, this girl actually came to the Ministry of Justice.

"Cousin." When Si Yan saw Pei Wangjie, his voice was so clear and loud that everyone in the Ministry of Justice could hear it.

Pei Wangjie's mouth twitched. It was obvious that this girl did it on purpose.

"I was passing by here and brought some food for my cousin." Si Yan smiled and handed the wine and food box in her hand to Pei Wangjie.

Pei Wangjie was flattered and confused about what this girl meant.

"This is the sweet-scented osmanthus wine that my cousin likes to drink. You can't drink it while you're on duty. Wait until you get home. The beggar's chicken is freshly made. My cousin, please eat it while it's hot at noon."

Pei Wangjie was stunned, remembering the time when they went out for a picnic when they were children, and he and Qingshan took his younger brothers and sisters to cook beggar's chicken together.

The girl was only four or five years old at the time, but in the blink of an eye, she had grown into a graceful young lady.

"Is there something wrong with Ah Yan?" Pei Wangjie asked.

"No." Si Yan smiled lightly, "I just came to see my cousin. If you are free, please come to my house and visit me."

"Okay, okay." Pei Wangjie accepted the lunch box without saying anything more.

Si Yan was also very straightforward. He delivered the things and left: "My cousin is still busy, so I won't bother you."

Pei Wangjie looked at the little girl's back as she left gracefully and couldn't help but remind her, "You're going the wrong way."

"No, I'm going to the palace gate." Si Yan winked at his cousin and walked while waiting for the coachman to drive the carriage over.

"Are you going to the palace?" Pei Wangjie asked.

"Yes, see you later, cousin." Si Yan smiled slightly and glanced into the Ministry of Justice. Many people inside were looking at them.

Zhen Zhinian is not a fool, he is quite patient. It's a pity that there are two fools in his family.

Pei Wangjie watched the carriage gradually departing, his heart beating rapidly. He had a strong feeling that the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time would soon appear.

Inside the Ministry of Justice, Zhen Zhinian was reviewing a case. Seeing someone looking for Pei Wangjie, he ordered someone to go out and check.

"Sir, this is Master Pei's cousin. Bring him some food."

"Cousin Pei Wangjie? Which cousin?"

"She's quite pretty. I heard Lord Pei call her Ah Yan."

Zhen Zhinian's nerves suddenly tensed up. This Situ's daughter was so brave. Could it be that Si Zhengxuan had instructed her to do this?

"Sir..." The guard beside Zhen Zhinian was confused when he saw his master's reaction.

Seeing Pei Wangjie come in, the guard couldn't help but remind him: "Sir, Sir Pei is coming in."

Zhen Zhinian looked towards Pei Wangjie, only to see Pei Wangjie coming back with a pot of wine and a food box in his hands.

Zhen Jinian couldn't help but frown. Was Situ's daughter here just to deliver food?

Pei Wangjie eats in the public kitchen of the Ministry of Justice every day. It has been the same for several years without any changes. Today, Situ's daughter suddenly came to deliver food, which obviously had a deep meaning.

Si Zhengxuan's intention to attack him was too obvious. Si Yan was just a little girl and would never have such a bold idea. It must be Si Zhengxuan who was instigating it behind the scenes.

Zhen Zhinian had a very bad premonition. He gave an order to his subordinates, turned around and walked towards the mansion.

He had to go back and tie up that unfilial son who loved to stir up trouble, otherwise he was really worried that he would do something bad.

However, it's too late.

Madam Zhen went to Princess Anyun to cry and complain early this morning. When Princess Anyun heard about it, she immediately brought Madam Zhen and Zhen Jun to the palace.

Even Prime Minister Xin only rushed over after learning that something had happened in the palace.

As Zhen Zhinian reached the gate of the Ministry of Justice, people from the palace arrived.

The palace guards arrived at the door of the Ministry of Justice, but the person who came was not Gu Yuan, but another eunuch who served the emperor.

The eunuch stepped down from the carriage and said, "Master Zhen, His Majesty invites you to the palace to discuss matters."

"Excuse me, sir, what's the matter?" Zhen Zhinian asked respectfully.

"Lord Zhen, don't you know? Madam Zhen and Master Ling came to the palace with Princess Anyun. They said Master Zhen was beaten by the Situ's daughter. Please, Your Majesty, seek justice."

Zhen Zhinian was stunned for a moment. He had already given instructions yesterday, but he still couldn't stop it?

"Thank you for the reminder, eunuch." Zhen Zhinian calmed himself down, had a carriage prepared, and rushed to the palace.

In another carriage on the same route, Si Rong looked at his mistress in confusion: "Miss, are we really going to the palace?"

"Go in." Si Yan said calmly, "Since Lord Zhen has gone in, we must go in as well. Go back and tell father that I'm waiting for him at the palace gate."

"Yes." Si Rong responded, and without asking the carriage to stop, he jumped off the carriage directly.

Si Yan arrived at the palace gate first, and Si Zhengxuan's carriage arrived shortly afterwards.

Si Zhengxuan was accompanied by Eunuch Gu. The emperor sent Gu Yuan to summon his father in person, which shows that his father's importance in the emperor's mind was greater than that of the Minister of Justice.

"Father, Eunuch Gu." Si Yan stepped forward and greeted him with a smile.

"Yeah." Si Zhengxuan responded and strode into the palace.

Gu Yuan took a step behind, walked to Si Yan's side, and took the initiative to speak: "Miss Si, His Majesty went to visit Prince Yong overnight yesterday."

Si Yan could see that Eunuch Gu was trying to show his goodwill to her.

Otherwise, since she didn't ask, there was absolutely no reason for Gu Yuan to tell her this on his own initiative.

Si Yan said softly, "May I ask, Eunuch Gu, how is Prince Yong's health?"

Eunuch Gu lowered his voice and said, "Prince Yong is vomiting blood. Your Majesty is very worried."

Si Yan remained expressionless and said nothing. He only said to Si Rong behind him, "Go back and pick out some good thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum for Eunuch Gu."

Gu Yuan was a smart man. He knew that the conflict between him and Si Yan that day was over, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He was too proud before, thinking that Prince Yong was not favored by His Majesty and had disobeyed the imperial edict, and would definitely be punished after returning to the court. He didn't expect that he was wrong.

Now the wind direction in the palace has changed. If it weren't for Miss Si waking him up, he wouldn't know what kind of mistake he would have made.

Today we are still in the Taiji Hall, and the main figures who were there yesterday are still the same today. Prime Minister Xin had heard the news a long time ago and came here.

However, the imperial concubine was no longer beside the emperor. Instead, the Minister of Justice and his family, as well as Princess Anyun, were present in the hall.

Upon seeing Si Yan, Princess Anyun, who was dressed in gorgeous attire and had her hair covered in pearls and jade, glanced at him sharply and said to the emperor, "Royal brother, it was this Situ's daughter who committed a crime in the street yesterday and injured the eldest son of Master Zhen's family."
