The guards withdrew as well.
The doors of Qiankun Hall creaked and slowly closed.
Outside, the sun was shining brightly, illuminating the room.
But once the heavy doors closed.
Qiankun Hall suddenly darkened.
Situ Xiu stepped up the mutton fat jade stairs, one step at a time.
He still held a memorial in his hand.
He raised his hand and lifted the beaded curtain.
Looking at the person sitting on the Dragon Chair.
Su Yan watched him intently.
"What is it?"
Situ Xiu looked at her cherry lips and white teeth.
Her eyes were like stars—just a glance could make one remember.
She sat there, very obedient and earnest.
Clearly, she was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.
Yet it felt that this Dragon Robe suited her.
It even looked quite good.
His dark eyes carried a hint of heat.
His throat moved up and down.
"Originally, your humble subject thought this beaded curtain was unnecessary. The Emperor is the Son of Heaven, how can she be like ordinary women."
He said, paused for a moment, then changed his tone.
"But now, looking at it.
Indeed, this beaded curtain should be set."
He spoke while walking to the table.
His voice was hoarse, carrying a peculiar meaning.
"How could the Emperor focus on discussing politics in this form?"
Su Yan blinked.
So, was this person stopping to talk to her about this?
In such a silent moment.
Situ Xiu shifted his gaze.
Leaning against the table.
He spoke.
"Emperor, your humble subject has already found out who is behind the plot to replace the Crown Prince with a cat."
Su Yan’s expression became serious.
"Who is it?"
"Duke Ning Mansion, Ning Guoxia."
Duke Ning, a relative of the royals.
Three generations of Empresses all came from this family.
The original body’s mother came from Duke Ning.
But unlike the previous two generations of Empresses.
The original body’s mother was at odds with the Duke Ning family, even to the point of being as hostile as fire and water.
The reason was that the original body’s mother fell in love with a commoner’s son.
Ning Guoxia feigned agreement, then invited the commoner to Duke Ning Mansion and beat him to death in front of the original body’s mother.
There are many daughters in the Ning family.
Compared to mutual love between father and child, power is more important.
Later, the four daughters of Ning family entered the palace together, only the original body was chosen.
Then she rose step by step, becoming the Empress.
But on the day she became Empress, her relationship with the Ning family was completely severed.
Later, the Empress and Emperor both passed away.
Su Yan succeeded as Empress.
Perhaps Duke Ning saw an opportunity,
found a collateral relative resembling Su Yan to replace the Crown Prince with a cat.
And sent the legitimate daughter Ning Zhi to win over Situ Xiu.
Spread rumors of an engagement.
Going on like this.
Who in the future would dare to oppose Duke Ning Mansion?
Not only this.
If executed properly, they could even control the entire Tiansheng Country.
After listening, Su Yan thought about Ning Guoxia’s appearance.
She had seen him in the morning court today.
With a beard, a square face, he looked rather upright.
And his words and deeds during court were very smooth.
No loopholes to be found; listening to him was like he hadn’t said anything at all.
Su Yan said nothing more.
Nodded.
"I understand."
After finishing, she didn’t notice when Situ Xiu had circled the table and came to the Dragon Chair.
Very close to Su Yan.
He smiled, leaning in.
"What can your humble subject do for the Emperor?"
Su Yan looked up at him.
"You want to help me?"
"Helping the Emperor to resolve worries and difficulties is my duty."
Su Yan spoke.
"The Imperial Army has always been controlled by the Assistant Minister of War.
I want to control it myself."
Situ Xiu raised his eyebrows, smiling exceptionally brightly.
"Does the Emperor want the Forbidden Army Order?"
Su Yan nodded.
"Yes."
