"The truth of the Battle of Panxi is known to all. Your father was no match for the Yan army and was defeated. Along with your brothers and five thousand soldiers of the Great Zhou, the entire army was wiped out."

The truth that General Chen recounted is the truth that everyone outside knows.

But this is not the truth that Song Siyao wants.

Song Si raised an eyebrow, his eyes flashing with cold light. "General Chen, are you sure this is the truth?"

General Chen was Wen Tao's confidant, so he certainly knew the real truth, but he couldn't say it.

So he said unequivocally, "Yes, that's the truth."

"Hong Shao, cut off one of Prince Cheng's hands." Song Siyao said lightly.

"Yes, Princess." Hongshao turned and left.

General Chen stared at Song Siyao, trying to discern from her expression whether she truly wanted Wen Tao's leg.

However, Song Siyao's expression was icy cold, like a frozen lake in the depths of winter, and he couldn't see through her at all.

“Princess Ning’an, if you dare to harm Prince Cheng again, my Yan Kingdom and your Great Zhou will be irreconcilable enemies, to the death!” General Chen probed Song Siyao with a fierce tone.

Before he could finish speaking, Hongshao came in, carrying an arm in her hand and reporting to Song Siyao, "Princess, this is Prince Cheng's arm."

"General Chen, does this arm look familiar?" Song Siyao asked, looking at General Chen.

General Chen looked at the sleeve on the arm and recognized it as Wen Tao's clothes.

And that jade thumb ring on his finger, that also belongs to Wentao.

Therefore, he was certain that it was Wen Tao's arm.

He immediately knelt down, grabbed Wen Tao's arm, and cried out in anguish and anger, "Your Highness! Your Highness!"

"General Chen, you have two choices now. One is to tell the truth and I will reattach Prince Cheng's arm. The other is to watch Prince Cheng be torn to pieces by me. As for your claim that Yan State and my Great Zhou are mortal enemies, I, Song Siyao, am ready to fight you at any time."

Song Siyao's tone was fierce and her attitude was firm and left no room for refusal: "My patience is limited. You only have half a cup of tea's time to finish this."

General Chen looked at the arm and asked, "Are you really capable of reattaching my prince's arm?"

He was very loyal to Wentao, and he even fantasized that once Wentao's legs recovered and he ascended the throne, he would be Wentao's number one contributor.

Someone like him, who has served one master, will find it difficult to gain a foothold in the court if he doesn't continue to serve Wen Tao.

Therefore, he must protect Wentao.

"Of course, but it depends on your attitude, and the longer the arm has been broken, the harder it is to reattach."

As soon as Song Siyao finished speaking, General Chen answered without any hesitation, "I'll talk!"

"The faster you speak, the faster your master's arm will be reattached," Song Siyao warned.

"Of course, there were other hidden stories behind the Battle of Panxi, it was..." General Chen told Song Siyao everything that happened back then.

“Princess Ning’an, I have finished speaking. Please keep your promise and reattach my prince’s arm.”

"Hongshao, go and bring Prince Cheng here," Song Siyao instructed.

Hong Shao immediately went to bring Wen Tao over.

Upon seeing Wen Tao's appearance, General Chen immediately realized that he had been deceived by Song Siyao.

Wentao's arms are both fine.

"Song Siyao, you lied to me!" General Chen was furious.

"This is called 'all's fair in war.' If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for being too stupid!" Song Siyao said bluntly.

"General Chen, what did you say to her?" Wen Tao asked General Chen angrily.

General Chen dared not look Wen Tao in the eye, nor utter a sound.

Song Siyao's lips curled into a cold smile. "He told me the truth about the Battle of Panxi back then. Prince Cheng, with your abilities, how could you possibly have defeated my father and brothers? You only relied on those shady methods!"

"General Chen!" Wen Tao exclaimed in fury.

If this truth were to spread, it would not only be bad for Wen Tao himself, but also for the reputation of the entire Yan Kingdom.

Everyone thought that Wen Tao had won against the Marquis of Zhenbei based on his own strength.

However, the reality is not what everyone thinks.
