Sheng Xiyan felt as if her soft spot had been caught. Having just woken up, her mind was still a little confused and she was trying hard to digest this problem.
When had she ever told him about Qi Yan's ambitions?
Could it be that he saw her hugging Qi Yan at Xihua Gate that day?
I was so panicked that my palms were sweating.
"I think the emperor's ideal is a peaceful and prosperous country..."
Xuan Ling didn't wait for her to finish, he stood up and said gloomily: "I don't need false feelings."
She felt sorry for Qi Yan and could imagine everything for him, even risking her life.
She only regarded me as a master who could give her a luxurious life, and never thought about my ambitions and ideals.
The emperor felt sad. From the first moment he saw Sheng Xiyan, he wanted a passionate love with a heart-to-heart connection.
But if her heart is a circle, and more than half of it is given to Qi Yan, why should he only have a small corner of it?
Return to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Xuan Ling met with several court officials to discuss matters.
Sheng Xiyan was sitting on a soft couch not far away reading a book.
After the people left, she came over to clean up the memorials that had been read, grind ink, and serve tea.
Eunuch Fu came in and said, "Your Majesty, Commander Xue is here with his men."
Xuan Ling looked at Sheng Xiyan and said, "Go to the back hall first."
Sheng Xiyan hesitated for a moment and walked towards the back hall. She had a sixth sense that this matter was related to Qi Yan.

In the front hall, Commander Xue and the commander of the Imperial Guards came in, along with a court official in official uniform.
"Your Majesty, I have already discovered all the candle-making workshops in the capital and will be closing them down tomorrow."
Xuan Ling pondered for a moment and said:
"Imperial Guards, listen up! Deploy a thousand men and hide around the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The imperial guards obeyed the order and deployed two thousand men to strictly guard the four palace gates and all the roads leading to the imperial palace.
Tomorrow I will make sure these rebels have nowhere to hide."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Also, ensure the safety of the tribute students. If anything happens, send them to the Baoxiang Tower next to the Hall of Supreme Harmony."
"I obey your orders!"
Sheng Xiyan was horrified when she heard this. Tomorrow is the day of the palace selection. From what they said, the spy wants to assassinate Xuan Ling?
A spy wouldn't be stupid enough to seek his own death. Does that mean they sent Qi Yan to assassinate him?
Sheng Xiyan was afraid of being discovered, so she walked quickly to the back hall.
Xuan Ling looked behind him and knew she was eavesdropping.
