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

As soon as Emperor Changlong issued his decree, the court officials left the palace one after another.

As they approached the palace gate, Grand Tutor Su called out to Song Siyao.

"Princess Ning'an".

Song Siyao turned around and looked at Su Taifu with a cold expression.

Grand Tutor Su continued, "Congratulations, Princess Ning'an."

"Does the Grand Tutor think that being able to lead troops into battle is a cause for celebration?" Song Siyao asked coldly.

"Of course, going into battle to kill the enemy and making meritorious contributions is the dream of many people," Su Taifu said confidently.

Song Siyao's eyes flashed sharply as he stared at Grand Tutor Su, his voice cold and sarcastic, "Grand Tutor, you have built your dreams of achieving great deeds upon the suffering of the common people. When your dreams come true, you will gain power and status, but what about those common people? They will be displaced, their families destroyed, and their lives ruined! Can you enjoy such wealth and glory with peace of mind, Grand Tutor?"

"What is there to be uneasy about? In the face of war, everyone can make a name for themselves, which is a rare opportunity for ordinary people. Besides, I didn't start this war. Just like the war between Yan and Zhou, wasn't it you, Princess Ning'an, who started it?"

Grand Tutor Su looked at Song Siyao meaningfully, "If Princess Ning'an returns with merit and holds a higher position of power, and the war was started by you, then you will truly be climbing up by stepping on the blood and bones of the people. But if you lose, you will still be remembered in history. This time, whether you return victorious or die far from home, Princess Ning'an, you have won. Therefore, I congratulate you."

He kept staring at Song Siyao, and he felt extremely pleased as he watched her become angry because of his words.

Song Siyao is too calm; it's impossible for most people to make her angry.

He saw anger on Song Siyao's face, as if he had finally discovered Song Siyao's weakness.

He made no attempt to hide his smugness, a hint of provocation flashing in his eyes, and arrogantly left.

As Song Siyao watched Grand Tutor Su walk past her, she called out, "Grand Tutor!"

Grand Tutor Su turned to Song Siyao and asked sarcastically, "Princess Ning'an, is there anything else you need?"

"Have you ever dreamed of the 50,000 heroic souls who sacrificed themselves in Panxi?" Song Siyao asked.

The smile on Grand Tutor Su's face vanished abruptly. "Of course I dreamed about it. They sacrificed themselves for the Great Zhou. They are heroes of the Great Zhou and deserve to be remembered by every citizen of the Great Zhou."

“Every time I wake up in the middle of the night, they roar in my dreams. They say they want to go back to their hometown and want revenge. Princess Ning’an, this time you go and fulfill their wishes in their stead.”

His expression was solemn, serious, and reverent, yet tinged with a hint of grief.

Song Siyao's lips curled into a cold smile. "Grand Tutor, do you feel ashamed for dreaming about them?"

Grand Tutor Su was stunned. After a moment, he regained his composure and stared intently at Song Siyao, trying to glean some useful information from her face.

After a moment, he calmly replied, "I have a clear conscience."

Song Si shook his head, his eyes icy cold. "When we return in triumph, I hope the Grand Tutor will still be so self-righteous."

After she finished speaking, she stopped looking at Grand Tutor Su and walked straight out of the palace.

Grand Tutor Su narrowed his eyes as he watched Song Siyao's retreating figure, a sudden unease creeping into his heart.

What happened back then...

He immediately dismissed the idea; that matter would absolutely not be exposed.

But what if?

To be on the safe side and to prevent future troubles, he had no choice but to take drastic measures again.

Grand Tutor Su stared fiercely at Song Siyao until her figure completely disappeared.

When Song Siyao returned to the Zhenbei Marquis's residence, Hongshao had already packed her luggage.

After giving instructions to Yu Xiang, she went to muster the troops and, together with General Jiang, led them to Fengsha Ferry.

At this moment, in the Imperial Study.

Shen Pei is discussing matters with Emperor Changlong...
