The interaction between the father and daughter caused Si Beitao Hua's fox-like eyes to narrow slightly, and her words were full of hostility.

"Your Majesty, please forgive my boldness, but isn't Your Majesty being too restrictive towards the little princess?"

Helian Nie's expression, which had softened slightly because the little girl had backed down, instantly darkened again. His peach-blossom eyes fell on Si Bei Tao Hua, sharp as knives.

"Is the envoy instructing me on how to do things?"

His voice carried an undisguised tyranny and ferocity, and the harmonious atmosphere in the hall instantly plummeted to freezing point because of the emperor's words.

The ministers inside the hall felt a chill run down their spines, a cold draft shooting from their feet to the top of their heads, and they all turned to look at Si Bei Tao Hua in the center of the hall.

In their hearts, they prayed that this damned devil would stop talking. They didn't know about the emperor of another country.

Anyone who dares to challenge the Emperor's authority will be subjected to a brutal massacre, and even after death, their body will be dragged to the snake pit behind the palace, leaving no trace of their corpse!

"Your Majesty is joking. I dare not. I only think that the little princess is still young. Children are naturally unrestrained, so it is better not to be too reserved."

Ironically, Si Beitao, the instigator, remained aloof and continued speaking calmly.

"Oh."

Helian Nie did not speak again, but his casual, light laugh made the atmosphere in the hall even more oppressive.

The officials clenched their teeth even tighter, especially the Northern Yin courtiers who knew Helian's wicked nature well; their legs under their robes began to tremble slightly.

When men are enraged, millions die; when they are laughed at, rivers of blood flow.

The atmosphere was terribly oppressive.

Helian Nie had indeed harbored murderous intent. To repel external threats, internal strife must precede resistance. With the Wen family destroyed and half of the military power reclaimed, internal stability was now assured.

It's only a matter of time before he fights external enemies; his ambitions have never been limited to the present state of Bei Yin.

Not to mention, Si Beitaohua kidnapped Wen Yi and even tried to steal the ugly thing from him.

The emperor's murderous intent was too obvious; the guards throughout the palace were restless and ready to pounce, not to mention the hidden imperial guards lurking within the banquet hall.

In the blink of an eye, the banquet hall, which was bustling with activity and filled with toasts just a moment ago, is now shrouded in an invisible killing intent.

It was as if the banquet hall would turn into a hellish place of mountains of corpses and seas of blood at any moment.

"Um, Father, I'd like to have another drink."

Even with his head spinning, Helian Mousisi, upon receiving the notification sound of the triple critical hit from the Buddha Lotus, knew that the situation was extremely tense.

However, what I can't understand is why my little one and the fairy sister looked like enemies the first time they met, with such intense hatred between them.

What's the purpose of this?

A soft, sweet voice from a certain Sisi broke the tense atmosphere in the hall, easing the suffocating pressure on the ministers and their wives from the emperor's overwhelming authority.

He breathed a huge sigh of relief, feeling as if he had been reborn. His gratitude towards Helian Mou Sisi was just like that towards his own ancestors.

"Don't even think about it."

Helian Nie withdrew his tyrannical gaze from Si Beitao Hua, and with a cold, merciless tone, rejected Si Si's request.

"Oh, did Fairy Sister upset Father Emperor? Then let's punish Fairy Sister by making her drink a cup of wine, and Father Emperor won't be angry anymore, okay?"

Afraid that her little darling wouldn't agree, Sisi affectionately rubbed her rosy cheeks against Helian Nie's handsome profile, pleading sweetly.

"Father, today is my adorable little daughter Sisi's birthday! Please grant Sisi's wish, okay? Father is the best, the very best~"
