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

"Imperial Physician! Summon the Imperial Physician!" Emperor Changlong was extremely anxious.

If Song Siyao hadn't taken that arrow for him, he would be the one unconscious now.

Song Siyao absolutely cannot be harmed!

Losing Song Siyao is equivalent to losing one of his arms.

"Yan Wei, call Doctor Feng!" Shen Pei was in a state of turmoil, but he had to force himself to calm down. He held Song Siyao in his arms, his eyes bloodshot.

He no longer trusts the imperial physicians in the palace.

Even the imperial physician might not want Song Siyao to live, but Feng Bai is Song Siyao's apprentice, so he would definitely want her to live.

Upon hearing this, Yan Wei immediately stood up and quickly left.

However, at that moment, countless arrows flew out from the shadows.

The first volley of arrows was all aimed at Emperor Changlong.

"Your Majesty! Run!" Wang Fu shielded the incoming arrow with his body, his gaze resolute, ready to die for his cause.

Emperor Changlong was not one to fear death; he was caught completely off guard and thus did not react in time.

He was calm and composed, his eyes cold and gleaming. He snatched the broadsword from the guard beside him and cut the flying arrow in half, then casually pushed Wang Fu aside.

"Your Majesty!" Wang Fu shouted, his eyes blurry with tears. Emperor Changlong was facing danger alone, yet he still remembered to protect him.

The families of the court officials screamed in terror, and those skilled in martial arts began to fight back. Guards drew their swords and charged into battle, and in an instant, Qiwu Palace was thrown into chaos.

However, the assassins gave them no chance to catch their breath, and then a second wave of arrows came flying in.

This time it was an indiscriminate attack; arrows came from all directions, attacking everyone.

Yan Wei's path was blocked. He knocked away the flying arrow with his bare hands and ran out of the palace without stopping.

"Your Highness, please entrust Sister Song to me," Jiang Hexia said to Shen Pei. "Rest assured, I will protect her with my life!"

"Thank you. Take her to a safe place." After saying that, Shen Pei handed Song Siyao over to Jiang Hexia.

"Miss Jiang, come with me." It was Consort Jia who spoke. She was worried that Jiang Hexia was not familiar with the palace and would not be able to find a safe place, so she handed the little prince over to her personal maid and personally led Jiang Hexia away.

"Thank you, Consort Jia." Jiang Hexia bowed and carried Song Siyao away with Consort Jia.

At the same time, more assassins poured in, their gleaming longswords and broadswords like the grim reapers of hell.

They came with a menacing presence, their eyes empty and devoid of any emotion, exuding a chilling aura, like killing machines; to be precise, they were specially trained assassins.

The assassins go on missions; if they succeed, they live; if they fail, they die.

But this time, their mission was different; they were there to die.

Their goal was clear: they all headed towards Emperor Changlong.

"Your Majesty, let's go quickly!" Consort Xian rushed over and grabbed Emperor Changlong's hand, shouting, "It's too dangerous here, I'll protect you and get you out of here."

Emperor Changlong was a man of spirit and a stubborn streak. He flung away Consort Xian's hand, brandished his broadsword, and stared at the assassins rushing towards him. His voice was cold and sharp, "I'm not leaving here today. I want to see who is so audacious as to take my life!"

Consort Xian looked at her empty hands and felt an overwhelming sense of loss.

The young emperor, who was her childhood sweetheart, ultimately drifted apart from her.

In the past, Emperor Changlong would listen to whatever she said and would never shake off her hand.

Seeing Consort Xian's distraught appearance, the Empress seized the opportunity to mock her, "Consort Xian, if you're scared, go hide in the back. Staying here is just bothering us."

Consort Xian's face turned cold upon hearing this. Coupled with the fact that it was because of Emperor Changlong, she was both angry and furious. She retorted loudly, "Who said I was afraid? I will stand with the Emperor through thick and thin!"

After she finished speaking, she rushed to stand in front of Emperor Changlong.

Just then, four assassins simultaneously lunged at Emperor Changlong.

"Mother!" Shen Xuan shouted and flew over to rescue Consort Xian.

With Consort Xian gone, Emperor Changlong was exposed. Because Consort Xian had been blocking his way, he couldn't act freely. Now that the assassins were attacking, he was completely unable to defend himself in a very short time.

Four assassins attacked simultaneously. Just as the swords in their hands were about to pierce Emperor Changlong, Shen Pei leaped up, kicked the swords out of the assassins' hands, caught another sword with his backhand, and slashed the necks of all four assassins.

Everything was accomplished in the blink of an eye.

Shen Pei landed steadily in front of Emperor Changlong, shielding him with his body, and said in a cold voice, "Father, please go to the back, I will take over!"

Emperor Changlong didn't leave. He looked at Shen Pei before him, Shen Pei who was like a mountain. He was stunned. When he came to his senses, his eyes were already wet. He was excited, uneasy, and asked in a trembling voice, "You can stand up now? When did this happen?"

"When we were in Anzhou," Shen Pei said, unwilling to elaborate.

In Anju, that was a long time ago.

So much time has passed, and Shen Pei still hasn't told him about this. It seems that Shen Pei still harbors resentment about what happened back then. Emperor Changlong felt endless bitterness and a hidden pain in his heart.

However, at the crucial moment, Shen Pei stood up to protect him even though he had already recovered his legs, which moved him deeply. His son still cared about him.

Rou'er, our son's leg is healed.

Song Siyao definitely knew that Shen Pei's leg had recovered, but she didn't say anything.

It seems that Song Siyao truly respects and cares for Shen Pei.

Emperor Changlong was not angry at all; on the contrary, he was very happy that his son was now protected.

He watched Shen Pei kill the assassin with unparalleled bravery. With Shen Pei around, he could safely retreat.

Shen Pei was unaware that Emperor Changlong behind him was thinking a hundred and twenty different things; he was focused on dealing with these assassins.

As expected, once Shen Pei made his move, the assassin had no chance of escape.

He was very fast, and his martial arts skills were even better than before his legs were injured.

Shen Xuan was completely stunned as she watched Shen Pei sweep through the battlefield like a god or demon.

Su Taifu narrowed his eyes. Shen Pei used to be Shen Xuan's biggest rival. Later, Shen Pei became crippled, so he stopped taking Shen Pei seriously.

From now on, he will have to pay more attention to Shen Pei.

Within half an incense stick's time, apart from the three assassins captured alive, all the other assassins had perished.

The three assassins were preparing to commit suicide by poison, but Shen Pei stopped them.

Just then, a palace servant came to report, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened to Princess Ning'an!"

"What's going on? Hasn't the imperial physician arrived yet?" Emperor Changlong asked anxiously.

The palace maid replied, "We've arrived, but the imperial physicians are helpless!"

Emperor Changlong turned and left.

Shen Pei also heard what the palace servants said. Just then, Yan Wei arrived with Feng Bai.

"Wei Xin, stay here and do not allow anyone to leave. Protect the scene. Anyone who tries to leave, kill them without mercy!" Shen Pei's voice was as cold as a thousand-year-old ice.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Shen Pei, Yan Wei, and Feng Bai rushed to Song Siyao's side.

"Dr. Feng, hurry! Sister Song has no heartbeat!" Jiang Hexia cried anxiously.
