Helian Si was somewhat excited, "Father, but Dongchen has already been destroyed. Even if Immortal Brother and the others are alive, they will not hinder Father's grand plan to unify the world."
"Father, please, spare the lives of Brother Shenxian and the others."
By the end, Helian Si's voice had become pleading, and she lowered her head slightly. She really didn't want to watch her immortal brother die.
Helian's wicked eyes fell on Helian Si, whose head was slightly lowered. After a long while, his thin, crimson lips parted slightly, "Let's go back."
In the end, he still spoiled the ugly thing too much. Things in this world are not that simple. Bei Yin destroyed Dong Chen.
Even if he lets Si Beitao and Hua Dongchen's remaining factions go, who can guarantee that these people won't cause trouble in the future? No emperor would leave behind a malignant tumor or hidden danger around him.
"Father, aren't you being too cruel!"
Helian Si's eyes were red and his nose was sore. His immortal brother's country had been destroyed. Couldn't his father let his immortal brother go?
When Changying, who had been guarding the entrance to the Imperial Study, heard the princess's accusation against the emperor, his breath caught in his throat, and only one thought remained in his mind: It's over.
Helian Nie remained silent, watching Helian Si, whose eyes were red with accusations. His fingers, which had been caressing the jade ring, paused slightly, and his thin, crimson lips pursed.
Helian Si felt a pang of regret. Seeing the look Helian Nie gave him, his regret intensified. He sniffed.
"Father, I... I didn't mean that. I just felt that the immortal brother..."
"Get out." The slightly cold voice made Helian Si's fingertips, hidden beneath his sleeves, tremble. His father was truly angry with him.
However, she couldn't bear to watch her immortal brother be executed by her father without doing anything. She sniffed softly, held back her tears, and bowed to Helian Nie.
"Your subject takes his leave."
Helian Si opened the door to the imperial study. Changying stepped forward worriedly, glancing furtively into the study. "Princess, you..."
Helian Si didn't want anyone to see her like this, even though she knew Chang Ying must have overheard her conversation with her father.
Without answering Changying, he sniffed, lowered his eyelids slightly, and took a few steps down the stairs.
"emperor."
Changying was still uneasy. Over the years, the Emperor and the Princess had never really quarreled, but today...
Let alone the emperor and princess, even he, an outsider, felt distressed watching this.
The emperor, being a ruler, was used to being cold-hearted and indifferent, but he genuinely doted on his daughter, the princess.
"Changying, have I spoiled her too much these past few years?"
Helian Nie leaned back in his golden nanmu chair, his face showing little emotion. The autumn wind rustled the yellowing sycamore leaves, filling the room with a cool breeze.
Chang Ying lowered his head, unsure of what to say. "Your Majesty, the princess is a sentimental person. Her words today were probably unintentional. Your Majesty, please don't be too upset about it."
**
In Yongqing Palace,
"Princess."
The moon called softly, but Helian Si didn't move. He sat under the banana tree, resting his chin on his hand, staring blankly at the small pond a few steps away.
Yue'er became even more worried. The princess had been sitting here alone for almost half an hour since she returned.
The princess wouldn't say, so she didn't know what had happened, and she couldn't very well ask. But things couldn't go on like this.
“Young Master Jinghua…yes, Young Master Jinghua.” Yue’er murmured, clapped her hands lightly, and hurried toward the palace gate.
