The Emperor's heart is won, she sits on the Phoenix Throne! The Divine Physician's Eldest

"Your Majesty, during my trip to Anzhou, in addition to the magistrate of Sang County, Gou Sheng, there were two other magistrates who also violated the laws of the Great Zhou. I brought them all back to await Your Majesty's judgment."

After Song Siyao finished reporting, Emperor Changlong looked at Shen Pei and said, "Prince Ling, you went to Anzhou with us, so you know the situation. The magistrates of these counties are now in your hands. You must not be lenient!"

"Yes, Father." Shen Pei had been assigned a new task and was about to get busy again.

Song Siyao then reported on the situation in the disaster area, as well as the merits made by Yan Wei, Huo Ye, Jiang Hexia, and others. Emperor Changlong rewarded them for their contributions.

Then, everyone else left, but Emperor Changlong kept Song Siyao behind.

Song Siyao continued, "Your Majesty, we were attacked on our way back to the capital. Fortunately, none of us were injured, and the assassins survived and wrote their confessions."

She presented her confession to Emperor Changlong.

After reading it, Emperor Changlong was furious, his tone as cold as thick ice in the dead of winter.

"How dare he?! He's incredibly arrogant! He doesn't even respect me!"

Emperor Changlong slammed the confession on the imperial table and shouted, "Wang Fu, summon Grand Tutor Su to the palace!"

"Your Majesty," Song Siyao called out.

Emperor Changlong stared at her and asked, "Does Miss Song have anything else to say?"

"Your Majesty, I believe that we should not let Grand Tutor Su know about this matter."

"What do you mean by those words, Miss Song?" Emperor Changlong asked.

"Your Majesty, if you want someone to die, you must first make them go mad. These assassins can only scratch the surface of our situation; they can't even move our bones."

Song Siyao offered her opinion: "In that case, we might as well put this matter aside for now, and settle all the old and new scores together when they have accumulated in the future, so that we can defeat them in one fell swoop and leave them no chance to recover."

“Good!” Emperor Changlong said, “This idea is good, but you have been wronged.”

Given Song Siyao's personality, if someone tries to kill her, she will definitely retaliate immediately.

But now, for the sake of the plan, she not only cannot take action, but also has to pretend that nothing is wrong.

"This humble woman is not wronged; everything is for Your Majesty's plan."

Song Siyao did this not only for Emperor Changlong's plan.

It was also for her own plans.

She had to find out the truth about the Battle of Panxi back then, and she needed to know what the death of her father and brother had to do with Grand Tutor Su.

"Let's proceed according to your plan," Emperor Changlong said. "Wang Fu, take these people to the Heavenly Prison. No one is allowed to visit them. You will personally supervise them!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Emperor Changlong then asked Song Siyao, "Second Miss Song, what's going on with Prince Cheng of Yan?"

"Your Majesty, there may be other hidden circumstances surrounding the Battle of Panxi back then." Song Siyao recounted her conversation with Wen Tao to Emperor Changlong in detail.

Emperor Changlong frowned, his face filled with shock, but even more so with anger.

"Back then, I always had doubts about the deaths of your father and brother. Your father was an invincible legend. Because of him, the borders of the Great Zhou were safe. Moreover, there was your twin brother. Together, they could withstand thousands of troops. How could they die so easily?"

Emperor Changlong looked at Song Siyao, "You went to Panxi, did you find anything?"

"This humble woman has gained nothing," Song Siyao said.

"Enough. Several years have passed since this matter, and many clues from back then have been lost. You can investigate slowly. I grant you special privileges. You must find out the truth of what happened back then and give your father and brothers justice!" Emperor Changlong said firmly.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Song Siyao spoke with Emperor Changlong for a while before leaving the palace.

As soon as she left the palace, Emperor Changlong immediately issued an edict announcing that a palace banquet would be held the next day to celebrate their achievements.

Tufu's Mansion.

"Father, Song Siyao and the others have returned safely," Su Yizhou reported to Grand Tutor Su.

Grand Tutor Su held a chess piece suspended in mid-air, his eyes fixed on the chessboard, unsure where to place it.

"Father!"

Su Yizhou thought that Grand Tutor Su had not heard him, so he called out again.

Grand Tutor Su raised his head and stared at Su Yizhou with a gaze that sent chills down one's spine.

"I wanted a dead person, but now that he's back alive, you still have the nerve to say that to me?"
