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

Thanks to Feng Bai's timely treatment, Lady Ding'an Hou's condition stabilized.

When news of Song Siyao's sacrifice reached the capital, it truly brought grief to her loved ones and joy to her enemies.

However, those who were happy were too quick to rejoice; they were unaware that Song Siyao had been brought back to life.

Halfway through the first month of the lunar calendar, the snow on the border has melted.

While those enemies were celebrating Song Siyao's death every night, news of their victory at Fengshadu reached the capital and was delivered to Emperor Changlong.

early morning.

"Your Majesty, an urgent dispatch from Fengsha Ferry, covering 800 li!"

"Xuan!"

When the good news reached Emperor Changlong, he eagerly opened it.

Prince Ling arrived with reinforcements, Princess Ning'an was brought back to life, the Yan Kingdom was defeated and surrendered.

Emperor Changlong held the report of victory, his face beaming with joy. "Hahaha... Heaven is truly on my side! Heaven blesses my Great Zhou!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at his ministers and said, "My beloved ministers, do you know what I am holding in my hand?"

With a hint of doubt, Grand Tutor Su asked, "Your Majesty, could it be that reinforcements have arrived, relieved the crisis at Fengsha Ferry, and recaptured it?"

Emperor Changlong deliberately kept them in suspense, saying, "Sir, you are only half right."

"Your Majesty, could it be that we have defeated the Great Zhou?" Prime Minister Jiang asked this question with little confidence, as he himself could hardly believe his own words.

"Prime Minister Jiang is right. In this battle against Yan, we won a great victory and forced Yan to surrender!"

Emperor Changlong was overjoyed, enjoying the thrill of uncovering the mystery.

His gaze fell on Grand Tutor Su, and he continued, "Not only that, our Princess Ning'an has come back to life!"

He instructed Wang Fu, "Wang Fu, spread the good news so everyone can see it and be happy!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wang Fu, carrying the report of victory, was the first to approach Grand Tutor Su, and said with a smile, "Grand Tutor, please."

He had secretly cried countless times after hearing the news of Song Siyao's death.

Now that he heard that Song Siyao had come back to life, he naturally had to show off to Grand Tutor Su.

Grand Tutor Su took the report of victory and placed it on the black characters on the white paper, his hands trembling slightly.

how could be?

The person is clearly dead! How could they possibly come back to life?

He never believed that a person could come back to life after death, unless that person had never died at all.

Despite his efforts to restrain himself, the fleeting chill in his eyes did not escape Wang Fu's notice.

Wang Fu, with a cold expression, snatched the victory report from Grand Tutor Su's hand. "Grand Tutor, have you seen enough? Let everyone see, we can't let you be the only one happy."

He passed the good news to the next person.

Grand Tutor Su was far from happy; he wished he could tear up the victory report.

However, he couldn't do it in public.

There might be some people in the court who, like him, wished for Song Siyao's death, but seeing the soldiers at the front win the battle and protect the territory and people of the Great Zhou, they must have been happy.

Even if he is unhappy, he has to pretend to be happy.

“You’re right, Father-in-law. The Great Zhou has forced the Yan Kingdom to surrender. This is truly great news that the whole world should celebrate. From now on, no one in the Nine Provinces will dare to look down on our Great Zhou.”

Grand Tutor Su's speech was passionate and inspiring, and the faces of the assembled officials were filled with excitement.

As the news of victory was passed from hand to hand, the discussions inside the hall grew louder and louder.

"That's wonderful! We've defeated the Yan Kingdom!"

"The Yan Kingdom has surrendered directly. Let's see if they're still so arrogant now!"

"The soldiers of my Great Zhou are all fine men!"

"Didn't they say Princess Ning'an had sacrificed herself? How come she's back to life?"

"Perhaps Heaven wants to protect this lucky general of the Great Zhou."

"You really believe this? I think Princess Ning'an's identity is a bit strange. Didn't the Grand Tutor say before that her true identity was Song Siyan? But Song Siyan should have died two years ago."

"People who should have died two years ago have reappeared alive in everyone's sight. People who were said to have died not long ago have now come back to life. Doesn't that mean Princess Ning'an can't die? What in this world can't die?"

"I don't know what kind of demon or monster it is, but it's definitely not human!"

"Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts! If she were to rebel one day, our Great Zhou would surely suffer!"

……

As Emperor Changlong heard their discussions becoming increasingly outrageous, the smile on his face gradually froze, until it turned gloomy.

"shut up!"

Emperor Changlong interrupted sternly, "I invited you to share my joy, not to slander me!"

Those who were gossiping quickly shut up; the last person who slandered Song Siyao was severely beaten by Emperor Changlong.

But there are always some people who are not afraid.

Grand Tutor Su stepped forward and said, “Your Majesty, the reason we are discussing this is because we have doubts. Now that the war on the border has ended, I believe we should immediately recall Princess Ning’an and investigate her identity.”

His face was serious, and he looked righteous and awe-inspiring.

"If Princess Ning'an is innocent, everyone will be happy. But if Princess Ning'an has truly committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, she must not be tolerated. The majesty of the emperor cannot be defied!"

Emperor Changlong narrowed his eyes. He knew what Grand Tutor Su was thinking, so he casually asked, "What do you think, sir?"

"I believe that Princess Ning'an should be recalled immediately. After she arrives in the capital, she should be arrested for deceiving the emperor. As for other matters, we can decide on them after further investigation," said Grand Tutor Su.

Emperor Changlong's gaze fell on the imperial table, where a letter had been sent along with the news of victory.

The letter was written by Song Siyao himself, and one sentence on it was: whatever Grand Tutor Su asked for, Emperor Changlong should grant it.

He decided to play along, saying, "We'll do as you say, sir."

Su Taifu's heart skipped a beat. Things had gone too smoothly today, and he felt that something was not right.

But then he thought again, a king's word is law. If Song Siyao returns to the capital with a criminal record, and he tries to manipulate things behind the scenes, Song Siyao will surely die.

At the end of January, the imperial edict was delivered from the capital to Fengshadu.

Everyone was furious.

"What does Your Majesty mean by this? The princess escaped death and forced the Yan Kingdom to surrender. This is a feat greater than the heavens, yet you allow Sister Song to return to the capital as a convict!"

Jiang Hexia looked dissatisfied; she would always side with Song Siyao.

Even if the other party was Emperor Changlong, she resolutely protected Song Siyao.

“Yes, Princess, we can all testify for you. Whoever dares to convict you, we will turn against them!” Huo Ye said fiercely, his face full of indignation.

Song Siyao looked at the two of them, unsure how to explain. She hadn't yet told them that she was Song Siyan.

Especially Jiang Hexia, whose beloved Song Siyan has become a woman, how should she face her past deep affection?

"Calm down, I have a plan for this. Remember, don't do anything rash," Song Siyao instructed.

"Sister Song, I'll do whatever you tell me to do." Jiang Hexia didn't ask any questions.

She absolutely trusts Song Siyao.

Faced with Jiang Hexia's sincerity, courage, and perseverance, Song Siyao felt that she would be guilty if she concealed anything even slightly.

"You may all leave. I have something to say to Xiaxia," Song Siyao said.

The others left, and Jiang Hexia left as well.

"Sister Song, what do you want to tell me?" Jiang Hexia asked Song Siyao with a sly smile, "Is it a secret that only we girls can know?"
