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

This murmur seemed to transcend a thousand years, breaking through time and space to reach Song Siyao's ears.

Shen Pei held Song Siyao tightly, resting his chin on her shoulder, as if he wanted to meld her into his body and feel the pain to his very bones.

Images of her past interactions with Shen Pei flashed through Song Siyao's mind.

She hugged Shen Pei and whispered, "Shen Pei, I'm back."

Shen Pei.

She called him Shen Pei.

Shen Pei felt as if he had been electrocuted.

He knew that this was Song Siyao's answer to him.

At this moment, their love was plain to see, and heaven and earth could bear witness.

A sentence churned in Huo Ye's throat, a sentence like a sharp knife, stabbing his throat again and again, causing him unbearable pain.

He wanted to say, "Song Siyao, if you really die, how am I supposed to live?"

However, his words were ironic when he saw the two people embracing in front of him.

He met Song Siyao later than Shen Pei.

He had just tried to speak to Song Siyao, but Shen Pei beat him to it.

He was always a step too late.

He stood there, his eyes filled with sorrow, his whole being utterly desolate.

Shen Pei had a thousand words he wanted to say to Song Siyao, but now was not the best time.

He released Song Siyao.

Taking the opportunity, Huo Ye stepped forward and asked Song Siyao with a smile, "Princess Ning'an, where have you been? We've been looking for you for so long and haven't been able to find you."

His tone was somewhat distant and polite, concealing all his worries, admiration, and heartache.

Song Siyao did not answer him directly, but simply replied, "Young Master Huo, you've worked hard."

Huo Ye's heart clenched. Sure enough, he held no place in Song Siyao's heart at all.

He gave a bitter laugh, "The princess is willing to sacrifice her own life, so what is my little bit of hardship?"

Song Siyao's tone was polite, yet perfectly measured in its unfamiliarity, "Young Master Huo is too kind."

Before Huo Ye could answer, she changed the subject, "Clean up the battlefield, return to the city. Tomorrow, the Yan Kingdom will send people to negotiate peace. Let's go back and discuss the terms first."

The war between the Great Zhou and the Yan Kingdom has come to a temporary end.

Song Siyao and the others returned to Fengsha Ferry, where they discussed the terms of the peace talks.

It was late at night.

The soldiers began to rest, and Song Siyao returned to her tent. Hongshao, seeing that only she and her servant were there, asked Song Siyao, "Princess, I saw you disappear with my own eyes. Where did you go?"

"Hong Shao, do you still remember when I disappeared two years ago?" Song Siyao asked instead of answering.

Hong Shao nodded, "Of course I remember."

Two years ago, during the Battle of Panxi, Song Siyao was still the same Song Siyan.

At that time, the entire army was wiped out, and everyone thought she had already sacrificed herself.

But a year later, she miraculously reappeared.

However, at that time she became mentally impaired, lost her memory, went blind and deaf, and she herself did not know where she had been for a year.

Later, she regained some of her memories. Hongshao told her about her disguise as a man and her resurrection, but she still didn't know where she had been that year.

This time, she was brought back to life once again, and she finally learned the truth.

It turned out that she had gone inside the Soul-Capturing Bracelet.

It's just unclear why she became mentally impaired last time, but this time she has regained all her memories.

Song Siyao explained to Hong Shao, "This time, just like last time, I went to a mysterious place, and it was there that I regained all my memories."

"Really? Princess, that's wonderful! If the Marquis, Madam, and Young Masters knew this in the afterlife, they would be overjoyed."

Hong Shao looked delighted.

"Where's Wentao?" Song Siyao asked Hongshao.

She regained her memory, but still had doubts about what happened back then. There were some things she had to ask Wentao.

“He’s still in jail,” Hongshao explained. “Princess, he was injured in the previous explosion. He probably doesn’t have many days left to live. We thought he might still be useful, so we’ve been keeping him alive with medicine.”

“Well done, take me to see him.”

Song Siyao arrived at the prison cell and saw Wen Tao lying on a wooden board, barely alive.

Hearing the noise, Wen Tao opened his eyes and saw that it was Song Siyao.

He was instantly stunned, his face filled with disbelief. "Song Siyao, you're still alive? How are you still alive?"

Last time, he killed Song Siyao with his own hands, but Song Siyao survived.

This time, he watched with his own eyes as Song Siyao exploded and was blown to pieces.

He was affected even though he was so far away from Song Siyao, and he almost lost his life. How could Song Siyao be safe and sound?

"I told you I would kill you with my own hands. You're still alive, so of course I can't die!"

Song Siyao's contemptuous tone infuriated Wen Tao, causing him to break down and roar.

She continued, "The war you started is over. The Yan Kingdom suffered a crushing defeat and surrendered. Wen Tao, are you satisfied?"

Wen Tao's pupils contracted; he couldn't believe that so many soldiers from Yan had been defeated.

"How is this possible? Your reinforcements won't arrive. With the small force at Fengshadu, they are no match for us!"

"How can you be so sure our reinforcements won't arrive?" Song Siyao already knew from Jiang Hexia that General Jiang wouldn't be coming.

She believed that Emperor Changlong would never issue a secret edict to stop General Jiang.

There must be more to this than meets the eye, and Wentao definitely knows something.

Judging from what Wentao just said, she is even more certain of her guess.

"Of course I know. What do you have to offer me in exchange for this information?" Wen Tao wanted to leave.

He had originally placed his hopes on the Yan soldiers, believing that once the Yan army breached Fengshadu, they would naturally rescue him.

He did not expect the Yan army to be defeated.

Now that he is no longer in the army and the Yan army has been defeated, no one will remember him.

When the time comes, they will go back and report to Emperor Yan, shifting all the blame onto the Great Zhou. Emperor Yan will then be unable to do anything to them.

And so he died quietly.

Therefore, he had to save himself.

"I'll let you go back," Song Siyao said.

Wen Tao didn't expect Song Siyao to so easily state the conditions he wanted.

His first reaction was that it was a trap.

"Song Siyao, what trick are you going to pull this time?"

"Wen Tao, this is all the use you have right now. What tricks can I possibly play on you?" Song Si shook his head, his eyes icy cold. "I can investigate the secrets you mentioned myself. It would just take a little time and manpower."

"I said."

Wen Tao knew that Song Siyao was telling the truth, and he was afraid that he would lose even this last bit of usefulness.
