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

When Prince Xin stood up, the emperor's expression was already bad. When Xin Rui stopped Prince Xin from speaking with just one word, the emperor's expression became even worse.

This son, whom he valued most, listened to his uncle very much.

Yes, Xin Rui can control all the civil and military officials in the court, let alone a young prince?

The emperor remained calm, his eyes turning slightly to Yan Longyi. "Prince Yan, this matter has been on my mind for a long time. I have not been feeling well recently, so I have not signed the letter. I will prepare the letter and have someone deliver it to Prince Yan as soon as I get back."

The emperor also wanted to end this matter quickly. The relationship between Daxuan and Yan has always been friendly. This time they joined forces to eliminate the 200,000-strong Beimang army. There is no reason for them to break up because of this matter.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yan Longyi bowed to the emperor and said respectfully.

The old emperor nodded and looked at his ministers with a serious look: "My dear ministers, is there anything else you need?"

The court officials all shook their heads, feeling relieved that they had survived the disaster.

The emperor looked gloomy and couldn't stop feeling disappointed.

At this moment, the Imperial Censor Jia Zhongchun stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the Chief Censor He has falsely accused Miss Si of treason and collusion with the enemy. He should be punished."

The hall suddenly fell silent, and Jia Zhongchun's voice was deafening.

Xin Rui lowered his head and widened his eyes.

This Jia Zhongchun is not just leaning towards the Situ Mansion, he is completely hostile to his Prime Minister Mansion!

Jia Zhongchun was rescued from the border by Si Yan. After a detailed discussion with Si Yan and a month-long ideological struggle, he finally made his own choice.

Because he did not support He Xuan today, he had already severed ties with the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Now, the only way to have a chance of survival and obtain the protection of Prince Yong's Mansion and Situ Mansion is to clearly show that you are on the side of Prince Yong.

"He deserves punishment." The emperor said in a deep voice.

He Xuan had already wet his pants out of fear and covered his body with his robe. The people around him smelled a strange odor and lightly covered their noses.

He Xuan kowtowed repeatedly to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please spare my life. I only presented what I saw and heard at the border, and did not intend to make a false accusation. Now I know that Miss Si has been wronged. I know I was wrong, and I beg Your Majesty to forgive me..."

The emperor glanced at He Xuan and ordered coldly: "Drag him away and kill him on the spot!"

The court officials were filled with shock. They held their breath and dared not make a sound.

This is the first time in all these years that His Majesty has ordered the execution of a high-ranking official in the imperial court.

Xin Rui's face turned green. In just one day, his Prime Minister's Office lost two ministers who supported him.

Is this old emperor targeting his Xin family?

Si Yan raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the emperor, knowing that the emperor had figured out many things.

But at the same time, the emperor's actions also increased his dangerous situation. Prime Minister Xin and his party might take risks and do extreme things.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty..." He Xuan was dragged away by the palace guards while howling like a wolf.

Soon, the sound of flesh being torn apart could be heard from outside. Since His Majesty had already ordered the killing, the imperial guards would not be polite.

The boards became heavier each time, and soon the shouting outside stopped.

Gan Li, the commander of the imperial guards, stepped forward to report, "Your Majesty, He Xuan is dead."

The emperor waved his hand wearily and turned his gaze to Yan Longyi.

"The Prince of Yan and his entourage have come a long way and must be exhausted from the journey. You may stay at the envoy's inn first. I will host a banquet for the Prince of Yan another day."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yan Longyi replied politely.

The emperor looked at Jia Zhongchun in the hall and said, "Lord Jia, the Minister of Rites is unwell. Please take the trouble to receive the Prince of Yan. You must not neglect him."

"I obey your order." Jia Zhongchun bowed to the emperor, knowing that the emperor was using him in a high position.

The Minister of Rites was confused, but did not dare to say a word. He was not feeling unwell.

All the ministers felt that by appointing Jia Zhongchun, His Majesty was beginning to balance the relationship in the court and suppress the Xin family.

Perhaps, they will have to find a new way out in the future, but for now, they still dare not offend the Prime Minister's Mansion easily.

Jia Zhongchun openly defied the Prime Minister's Office. Let's see what happened to him.

"If you, my dear ministers, have nothing else to do, please adjourn the court." The emperor glanced at the hall with a tired look and said lightly.

"Long live the emperor." The court officials knelt and saluted, and the emperor stood up and went to the back hall.

"His Majesty."

"Father."

Two voices came from behind, and the emperor couldn't help but stop.

The old emperor turned around and saw Si Yan and Prince Yong approaching at the same time: "What's the matter with you two?"

Si Yan bowed to the emperor and said, "I have something to report to Your Majesty in private."

"Father, I have something to do too."

"Come with me to the bedroom." The emperor was now very suspicious. He thought that his bedroom was probably the only safe one in the entire palace.

In the past, only the queen could come to his bedroom, and even the imperial concubine could not enter at will.

Ever since the crown prince was deposed and the queen began to lead a life of seclusion, she never came again. He spent most of his time staying with the imperial concubine.

After having a quarrel with the imperial concubine a few days ago, the emperor stopped visiting the imperial concubine. He always felt physically tired and had no interest in visiting any concubines in the palace.

Si Yan and Qi Ziyu followed her to the back hall. Yan Longyi stared at the woman's back. When they turned the corner, Si Yan glanced at him slightly.

Yan Longyi received the woman's gaze, smiled lightly and walked out. The girl had to see the emperor for something, so he could only go out and wait for her.

As Yan Longyi left the hall, Jia Zhongchun, who was ordered to receive him, came forward and said, "Your Highness, Prince of Yan, please come in."

Yan Longyi said humbly and casually, "Master Jia, please come in."

Jia Zhongchun looked at Prince Yan, who was smiling and looked like a completely different person from the murderous man in the hall today.

Xin Rui stared at Jia Zhongchun intently. If they couldn't deal with the Situ Mansion and the Prince Yong Mansion, how could they deal with a small Jia Mansion?

The emperor returned to his bedroom, entered the inner hall, and dismissed all the eunuchs, including his most trusted eunuch Gu.

The emperor felt tired all over. He forced his eyes open and looked at Si Yan and Qi Ziyu: "What do you want?"

"Your Highness, please speak first?" Si Yan looked at Qi Ziyu.

The emperor thought that the two people were going to talk about the same thing, but he didn't expect that they had different things to say.

Prince Yong knelt before the emperor and said, "Father, I, your son, said something untrue in the palace today."

"Which sentence?" The emperor asked in a low voice, as if he knew what Prince Yong was going to say.

Qi Ziyu said honestly, "I didn't send Ah Yan to report the news to the King of Yan at that time. It was because I was dissatisfied with He Xuan's slander against Ah Yan today that I wanted to protect Ah Yan..."

"Alright, I understand." Before Prince Yong could finish, the emperor waved his hand. "Is that all?"

"Yes." Qi Ziyu said respectfully.

The emperor was filled with emotion. Some people wished they could deceive him in every possible way, while someone as sincere as Prince Yong would tell him even such a small matter.

He was really old and his eyes were blurry before, and he couldn't tell the difference between good and evil, loyalty and treachery!

The emperor sighed softly and helped Prince Yong up: "Stand up, I forgive you."

They are an engaged couple. Si Yan protects Prince Yong, and Prince Yong also protects Si Yan. He is very pleased that he can be so honest with him.

The emperor looked at Si Yan beside him, a smile on his face: "Little girl, what's the matter with you?"
