Cannon fodder She is targeted by yanderes in every dimension

The case of embezzlement of military pay involved a wide range of officials, and from Linyang City the Salt Transport Bureau, which was also involved in corruption and bribery, was exposed. However, a large number of officials were dealt with in just three days.

Those officials were all subordinates of the Duke of Qi. For a time, the Duke of Qi's power suffered a great blow. Ji Siyan almost traced the blame to the Duke of Qi, but later he pulled out an official to take the blame.

The Duke of Qi then became alarmed and wanted to get rid of Ji Siyan, the scourge he had been facing, as soon as possible. On the grounds of law, he joined forces with several ministers whom he had supported to petition the emperor to punish him.

Even if Ji Siyan is protected by Prime Minister Ji and will not be sentenced to death, at least his military power can be deprived, weakening his power and that of the Prime Minister's Office.

What no one expected was that the emperor actually announced Ji Siyan's background in public.

It was said that he was a prince who was lost among the people. The emperor had ordered an investigation at the beginning of the year, and wanted to find an auspicious day to return to his ancestral home.

But now, all the memorials submitted by the Duke of Qi and others said that Ji Siyan was guilty of deceiving the emperor. After the emperor made public Ji Siyan's identity as a prince, the crime of deceiving the emperor became a family matter.

The emperor would naturally not really punish Ji Siyan, so the crisis would naturally be resolved.

When the imperial edict appointing Ji Siyan as the fourth prince came out, the entire capital was shocked, especially the Prime Minister's Mansion, where everyone lamented that Prime Minister Ji had become the prince's adoptive father overnight.

Servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion were not allowed to discuss the matter in public. Everyone had to remain silent and pretend nothing had happened. They only dared to discuss the matter behind closed doors.

When Yun Wu woke up early in the morning, Liuyue told her in surprise that Ji Siyan was the Fourth Prince. She was really shocked.

Yun Wu seemed much calmer. After all, Ji Yao had quietly mentioned this to her after Prime Minister Ji returned from the palace last night.

"Earlier, I heard from the old people in the mansion that the eldest son seemed to be the son of a concubine, but I didn't expect that he was actually..."

"Don't say such things in the future. From now on, there is no Young Master Ji, only the Fourth Prince."

Yun Wu said softly, and Liu Yue nodded very seriously.

Just as they reached the yard, Xiaobai came out from the dog hole in the wall and jumped around Yun Wu's feet with a ruthless step.

"Why did you sneak into someone else's yard again? Go downstairs and don't run around anymore..."

Yun Wu said helplessly, but still leaned over and touched Xiaobai's head, then looked up at the wall of the yard.

On the other side of the wall is Yunshuiju where Ji Siyan lives. However, since he entered the palace, no one has lived next door for the past three or four days.

"I guess we won't see each other again in the future."

Yun Wu muttered to herself in a low voice, Ji Siyan is now the fourth prince, and logically he should either live in the palace or have a separate prince's mansion.

What Yun Wu didn't expect was that she had just said in the morning that they would never meet again, but in the afternoon she met Ji Siyan.

No, now his name is Xiao Siyan.

Prime Minister Ji personally greeted the visitor at the gate of his mansion, and when he saw the visitor get off the carriage, he quickly bent down to salute.

"I pay my respects to His Majesty the Fourth Prince..."

"Teacher, you don't have to be polite."

Xiao Siyan personally dismounted and helped Prime Minister Ji up. The current emperor's surname is Xiao, so after his status was restored, his surname naturally changed from "Ji" to "Xiao".

In Xiao Siyan's heart, Prime Minister Ji is not only his adoptive father but also a teacher who taught him many things, so even though he has become a prince, he still respects him very much.

Bai Zhu still followed Xiao Siyan. To be honest, he was also panicked when his master was summoned to the palace.

What he never expected was that his young general was actually a prince, and he was promoted to become the prince's personal guard.

Xiao Siyan and Prime Minister Ji walked in front, while Bai Shu and others followed from a distance but did not get close.

"Once the enthronement ceremony is completed tomorrow and the title is officially included in the royal jade disc, your highness's status will be legitimate."

Prime Minister Ji let out a long sigh and said with some relief, and couldn't help but recall the scene of that year.

"When I first met Your Highness, Your Highness was still an infant. Now, several years have passed and Your Highness is already able to take charge of things on his own. I think Your Majesty has been waiting for this day for a long time."

"Um……"

Xiao Siyan's reaction was indifferent when the emperor was mentioned. In fact, Prime Minister Ji had concealed his life experience very well, and Xiao Siyan guessed it himself after he grew up.

For example, the emperor was inexplicably very kind to him, and sometimes he always felt that he was missing someone through him.

During the two days in the palace, Xiao Siyan also roughly understood what happened that year. It turned out that the emperor met Ji Siyan's mother, Wei, during his secret visit. After accompanying her day and night all the way, he wanted to bring her back to the palace.

Unexpectedly, the late emperor had arranged a marriage with the current Queen Qi. Queen Qi was jealous, and her brother was a great general with outstanding military achievements. If Wei was allowed to enter the palace, she might encounter an unexpected accident, so she had to be secretly raised in the patrol courtyard.

Not long after, Wei became pregnant and gave birth to a child. Unfortunately, she was in poor health and experienced a difficult labor. She died a few months after giving birth to Xiao Siyan.

The emperor had just ascended the throne, and in order to win over power, he appointed General Qi as Duke of Qi. At that time, Queen Qi also had three princes, and she secretly killed the first two illegitimate princes.

The emperor was afraid of the Duke of Qi and the Queen Qi, so he secretly handed Xiao Siyan over to his most trusted Prime Minister Ji to raise him to adulthood.

As they chatted, the two soon arrived at the lobby in the front yard of the prime minister's mansion.

Just at this time Yun Wu and Ji Yao were paying their respects to Madam Ji in the lobby.

Yun Wu was sitting in her seat listening to the servant's report behind her and thought she had heard it wrongly, but when she turned around, she saw the man following Prime Minister Ji.

The man in the dark-colored robe with brocade patterns had the same stern features as before, and his dark eyes were fixed on her the moment he stepped into the room.

Yun Wu's heart suddenly trembled. She was stunned for a moment and then she reacted and quickly stood up and saluted with the eldest lady and Ji Yao.

Xiao Siyan's eyes fell on Yun Wu. He hadn't seen her for several days...

However, at this time, Prime Minister Ji beside him was asking with a smile on his face what Madam Ji was talking about just now that made her laugh so happily.

Xiao Siyan was not listening seriously at first. He just stared at Yun Wu silently, as if he could never look enough.

He is now such a powerful person. If she likes power, she should...should consider him...

Then, he heard Madam Ji talking about the marriage of Yun Wu and Ji Yao which she had just mentioned.

"Yao'er is still young, so there's no need to rush. But the eldest lady of the Dali Temple seems to want Wu'er to marry her..."

Xiao Siyan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and almost subconsciously frowned and said:

"No."
