Chapter 51 What's so funny about this?

He has ignored her for so many years, and now she wants something before we even say a few words of greeting. Does he think she is a fool?

Xu Yanyi acted extremely embarrassed and said timidly: "It's not that I disagree, it's mainly because I don't know where it is, otherwise I would have called the army out a long time ago, why wait until now?"

Obviously, the little emperor didn't believe it: "Sister, father has always doted on you and said that if you were a prince, he would definitely pass the throne to you. He..."

"You took his joke seriously?" Xu Yanyi sighed and shook her head, "Father thinks you are too young and is afraid that if he gives you everything, it will be taken away by outsiders, so he put it in my hands. One day, when you are in power, everything will be yours."

"Royal sister, what do you mean?"

The little emperor was thoughtful, but he was only a teenager after all. Even if his thoughts were deep, they would be revealed now because they were too hasty.

Xu Yanyi held his hand tightly and said like a caring elder sister: "What I mean is that the Queen Mother, the Grand Tutor and others helped you take the throne during the rebellion and massacre three years ago.

Firstly, you are young and easy to control, and secondly, the Queen Mother has no children. However, the real power is in the hands of the Queen Mother and the Grand Tutor. You haven't even secured your position yet, do you think no one is watching you?

If I rashly give you the army, do you think you can defend it and they won't come to rob it? You should know that if they can help you to the position, they can abandon you and replace you with someone more obedient. People who do great things must first be patient. The things of the imperial sister are all left for you."

The little emperor's eyes flashed with deep joy: "Royal sister, you...you are still willing to help me?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are my only relative left in the world, my blood. If I don't help you, who else can I help?"

Xu Yanyi smiled slightly, as if she was still as gentle and kind as before.

The little emperor asked tentatively: "But in the past few years, you have been in Nanling Palace, with the title of Princess and Princess of Nanling, but your life is not satisfactory. There are rumors everywhere, but I didn't help you. You... don't you resent me?"

Oh, damn, you also know that you are an ungrateful person?

Has he forgotten how good Xu Yanyi was to his younger brother in the past?

After a moment of silence, Xu Yanyi pretended to be sad, but smiled after a moment and said, "I had some complaints at first, but I thought you believed that I colluded with the rebels to kill my father.

So naturally you resent me. Under such circumstances, as the emperor, you have shown great consideration for our brother-sister relationship by not depriving me of my title of the eldest princess.

Also, even if you are the emperor, you are just a child. The Queen Mother and the Grand Tutor have been watching you closely and influencing your decisions. It is normal that you dare not get close to me."

Shame on you! If you don't have that much nerve, don't wear such a big hat. The great men in history had already achieved success and fame in their teens, but you are already fifteen or sixteen and still a puppet. Who would look up to you!

puff.

Although Mu Nanzhou, who was outside, could not understand the conversation between Xu Yanyi and the little emperor, Xu Yanyi's inner words came clearly into his ears, and he could not help laughing out loud.

The guards on the side were a little stunned. They hadn't seen Mu Nanzhou smile for a long time.

What's so funny about this?

The little emperor seemed to believe what Xu Yanyi said, and heaved a sigh of relief. He turned his eyes and leaned on Xu Yanyi's shoulder affectionately: "Royal sister, I don't want to be the emperor at all. I don't have any freedom at all. I have to act according to other people's wishes every day. I thought you were angry with me..."

"Of course not. We are siblings. As long as you don't despise me, I will naturally help you."

Xu Yanyi rolled her eyes as she said this.

After a while, the little emperor calmed down.

Xu Yanyi said gently: "Alright, alright, I know what you are thinking. Don't worry, I will always be your strongest supporter. You must not let out a single word about what happened today, otherwise you will get yourself killed."

"Okay. Then I'll go back first, sister."

The little emperor stood up, nodded, turned and left.

Xu Yanyi gave him a disdainful look from behind.

After waiting for the little emperor to disappear from her sight, Xu Yanyi lost her sleepiness and quickly got up and went out. Since the little emperor coveted the army left to him by the previous emperor, she had to confirm some things.

The last emperor's will did not directly indicate where the army was, how many soldiers and weapons it had. There was only a painting, and the original of the painting was hanging in the Yuqing Palace.

The will could not be discovered by someone with ulterior motives, so it was not stated directly. Xu Yanyi could understand, but she just wondered why it was that painting.

If Xu Yanyi remembered correctly, that painting had been hanging in the Yuqing Palace for some years. It was painted by the late emperor himself. Many people in the palace had seen it, but didn't notice anything special about it.

"Forget it, I'd better go and have a look. Now that the little emperor wants my things, I have to know where they are. If I can't clear my grievances, even if I can divorce my husband, I can't leave the capital, and those unruly people will swallow me up."

Xu Yanyi muttered as she walked, and also observed the palace maids and eunuchs on the road to see which one was not evil so that she could go up and have a chat with them.

It's just a pity that there doesn't seem to be a good person in this palace. In other words, no one has a good impression of her, Xu Yanyi.

Xu Yanyi had just walked to the sycamore tree outside the Yuqing Palace when she heard Mo Ran's voice.

Hmm, the damage from this guy's streaking disappeared so quickly?

"You guys stay outside and watch, don't let anyone in. The Ninth Princess heard that she was dying, and the imperial physician said that she would pass away at any moment. The palace had kept it a secret from the prince, but he still found out and came to see her in person. Don't let anyone disturb her."

A crowd of people responded.

Behind the tree, Xu Yanyi's face darkened slightly. The Ninth Princess...

Oh, by the way, the Ninth Princess is the daughter of the current Queen Mother and the ninth sister of Xu Yanyi.

However, when the late emperor was alive, there were rumors that the Ninth Princess was not the biological daughter of the empress dowager and the late emperor, but was born out of a secret affair between the empress dowager and the grand tutor. At the time, a blood ceremony was held to prove the relationship, and the empress dowager committed suicide to prove her integrity. Anyway, it was quite a big fuss.

And if Xu Yanyi remembered correctly, this ninth princess had a crush on Mu Nanzhou.

Once, the late emperor led people to offer sacrifices to the heavens and encountered a sneak attack by rebels. The Ninth Princess unexpectedly stepped forward to help Mu Nanzhou block a sword and almost died.

Tsk tsk.

Really, doesn’t Mu Nanzhou just have a good-looking appearance? Is it necessary for him to be so popular and loved by everyone?

Xu Yanyi curled her lips and carefully observed the palace maids and eunuchs guarding the door. She carefully identified them and cast her eyes on one of the tall eunuchs.
