Cannon fodder She is targeted by yanderes in every dimension

"Why don't I go back and sit next to Ayao? This is against the rules..."

Yun Wu lowered her voice and whispered. Xiao Siyan, who was beside her, picked up a few more pieces of roasted lamb and put them in Yun Wu's bowl.

"Isn't it good to sit here? You can ask the imperial kitchen to prepare anything you want to eat."

Xiao Siyan's voice was deep, and he picked up all the dishes that Yun Wu liked to eat and gave them to her, and then said:

"Some time ago, I paid tribute to you with some pearls from the East. Father gave them to me. I will have them inlaid on a hair crown and send it to you."

"Dongzhu..."

Yun Wu's beautiful eyes seemed to brighten a little. She ate the roasted mutton that Xiao Siyan brought over, and said shyly, pretending not to care:

"But they are all external things. If Your Highness wants to give them to me, please do so. But remember to pick the bigger ones..."

Wearing it this way will make you stand out and give you face.

Yun Wu couldn't help but smile while eating the roasted lamb. She sat there obediently and no longer mentioned going back to sit over there.

The smile on Xiao Siyan's lips deepened, and he secretly glanced at Yun Wu silently. Her cheeks were puffy when she ate, which was very cute.

His eyes were fixed on her pink lips, and for some reason his thoughts went to the couch...

Afterwards, Xiao Siyan's earlobes gradually turned red. He picked up the wine cup to cover it up and cursed himself in his heart.

How could I possibly think of letting Awu... cough cough cough... I don't want to think about it anymore.

The emperor, who had been bedridden for a long time, also showed up at this palace banquet. He sat on the dragon throne at the top, looking weak and pale. Queen Qi sat on one side, and the concubines from various palaces sat at the back.

"I have been feeling unwell these days, luckily Chen'er and A'yan are looking after the state affairs for me, ahem..."

The emperor coughed a few times and looked at Xiao Yichen and Xiao Siyan with a kind face.

"It is the duty of a son to share the worries of the emperor."

Xiao Yichen said with a bow, his words and expression showing respect and filial piety towards the Emperor.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see from the emperor's current condition that he won't live long. He might suddenly fall seriously ill and be dying at any moment. However, the emperor has not yet appointed a crown prince.

In fact, most of the court officials thought that it was most likely the third prince Xiao Yichen. After all, the emperor loved him, and he had the Queen Qi as his biological mother, the Duke of Qi as his uncle, and even the prince's wife and concubines were all from powerful and prestigious families.

The emperor looked around but didn't see the identity of the Duke of Qi. Perhaps he was too sick to remember the reason, so he asked in confusion:

"Why didn't the Duke of Qi come to the banquet?"

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? When there was a flood in the south, my brother volunteered to go there to provide disaster relief a few days ago."

Queen Qi had a dignified smile on her face, and the emperor then recalled the incident.

At this time, Lord Liang, who had always had a good personal relationship with the Third Prince, stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet now. Why not take advantage of this good time to decide on a crown prince to stabilize the military's morale? According to the rule of appointing the eldest son as the heir, I think the Third Prince is the most suitable candidate."

When the issue of establishing a crown prince was mentioned, the banquet seemed to become much quieter, and everyone listened attentively.

Yun Wu subconsciously looked at Xiao Siyan's reaction. Although she didn't actually want Xiao Siyan to become emperor, being a prince in the future would be enough for him to enjoy wealth and glory.

Xiao Siyan seemed to be uninterested in the matter of choosing a crown prince, and moved the soup that the maid had just brought to Yun Wu.

"Establish a crown prince..."

The emperor looked a little hesitant when he heard this, and he coughed heavily a few times before saying:

"Let's discuss this later."

Xiao Yichen couldn't help but sneer. After meeting Lord Liang's gaze, he met Queen Qi's. Queen Qi nodded slightly at him.

The next moment, Xiao Yichen picked up the wine cup and said to the emperor on the dragon throne:

"I'm afraid that Father can't wait until the future, so it's better to make me the crown prince as soon as possible."

The whole banquet hall fell silent instantly. Xiao Siyan then raised his eyes to look at Xiao Yichen. He seemed to have sensed something was wrong and frowned slightly.

"you……"

The emperor thought he had misheard, but when he came to his senses, his face turned red and he coughed several times because he couldn't breathe smoothly.

"How dare you say such outrageous words..."

"Father is old and confused. It is not good to always occupy the position. Please allow me to be presumptuous this time."

Xiao Yichen walked to the center of the hall and said, he was a little hesitant at first, but when he thought of the old immortal on the dragon throne who had refused to make him the crown prince, his eyes became determined.

The next moment, a team of soldiers with swords came in from the main entrance and the back door of the hall and quickly surrounded the banquet. The leader was the Duke of Qi.

All the guests in the hall were suddenly panicked, and even the concubines in the harem screamed in fear.

"what!"

"Didn't the Duke of Qi go out to provide disaster relief?"

"This, this is a rebellion!"

Yun Wu was also startled. The teacup in her hand fell onto the table without her holding it firmly. Her hand, which was cold due to fear, was suddenly wrapped by a warm palm.

"Don't be afraid."

Xiao Siyan's steady voice was in her ears. He held her hand tightly. For some reason, Yun Wu's heart felt much calmer.

In front of the Emperor, Queen Qi quickly walked down the stairs and stood with Xiao Yichen and Duke Qi.

"You, you guys...are you planning to rebel?!"

The emperor stood up suddenly and coughed violently a few times, but soon fell back onto the throne before he could stand firmly.

"I have already surrounded the palace. As long as the emperor is willing to write a letter of abdication and pass the throne to the Third Prince, there will be no danger. If the ministers are willing to submit, the Third Prince will definitely treat them well."

The Duke of Qi was arrogant and led his soldiers holding swords to surround all the people at the banquet.

Several palace maids were killed on the spot, and many officials' families were frightened and cried.

"what……"

Yun Wu saw with her own eyes a maid holding a wine jug being stabbed in the throat by a guard with a sword. Her body swayed twice, and the next second her view was blocked by Xiao Siyan.

His tall body shielded her tightly, and although he said nothing, he was protecting her with practical actions.

Xiao Yichen also noticed the movement here. Looking at Xiao Siyan who was protecting the people tightly, he sneered and said:

"Fourth brother, you don't want your unmarried princess to die at today's palace banquet, right? If you surrender obediently and persuade father to abdicate early, I might even spare your life."

"It's too early for you to say that, Your Highness."

Xiao Siyan said calmly, just when Xiao Yichen and Queen Qi thought he was just pretending to be calm.

Suddenly there was a commotion outside the hall, and soon Bai Zhu led a group of guards and imperial guards to rush in and surrounded the Duke of Qi's men.

Queen Qi was horrified, and Duke Qi never expected that Xiao Siyan was still on guard.

"Escort His Majesty away first!"

At Xiao Siyan's command, the imperial guards quickly came forward to escort the emperor away first, followed by the elderly, the weak, women and children.

Yun Wu was a little dazed as she was protected by Xiao Siyan and brought to Bai Zhu.

"Let my secret guards escort her back to the Ji family, and add more guards outside the mansion."

"Yes!"

Bai Zhu bowed his head in response with a solemn expression. Now, the rebels of Qi family in the hall had started fighting with the guards and the imperial guards brought by Xiao Siyan. The scene was very chaotic.

"Well, what about you..."

Yun Wu's eyes were slightly red, and she pulled Xiao Siyan's sleeve uneasily.

"I want to stay and lead the troops to fight against the rebels..."

Xiao Siyan said, his stern face solemn and serious. Facing Yun Wu's uneasiness, he was not good at words and didn't know how to comfort her. He could only hold her in his arms somewhat awkwardly.

"Don't worry, I will earn you more money..."

"Who worries about that..."

Yun Wu muttered weakly. The situation in the hall was urgent, so she had to quickly follow Bai Zhu and leave the palace in a carriage.

Her heart was pounding all the way and she was feeling very worried.

Yun Wu is a person who loves power, wealth and is afraid of death, but what she was thinking about just now was not her future glory and wealth, she was just afraid that something would happen to Xiao Siyan...

She seemed to understand her own heart only then. She had been pretending to act in order to achieve her goals, but in fact, he had already fallen in love with her before she even realized it.

Yun Wu didn't dare to think any more. She followed Bai Zhu's instructions and quickly got on the carriage, holding tightly in her hand the jade pendant given to her by Xiao Siyan.

She kept praying for Xiao Siyan to be safe, holding the jade pendant in a daze, thinking about her worries.

If she could see Xiao Siyan again after this matter was over, she would definitely express her feelings to him...
