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

Before Song Siyao returned to the capital, everyone already knew that she was Song Siyan.

However, since they haven't heard her admit it herself, everyone still holds onto a sliver of hope that maybe the rumor was fabricated.

Who would believe that the once mentally challenged, deaf, and blind Song Siyao was the young general who rose to fame in a single battle?

Now that everyone has heard her admit that she is Song Siyan, they are still somewhat shocked.

No wonder Song Siyao suddenly became smart and even led troops into battle.

It's just a pity that she has committed such a heinous crime; it's uncertain whether Emperor Changlong will forgive her...

When Grand Tutor Su heard Song Siyao describe the crime of deceiving the emperor as disrupting military discipline, he immediately became unwilling.

After all, disrupting military discipline is a crime that can be serious or minor.

If Emperor Changlong were willing, he could say that she had made outstanding military achievements, and the charge of disrupting military discipline could be completely ignored.

He absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen.

“Princess Ning’an, you joined the army as a man, and your family also concealed your identity. What are your true intentions? This cannot be fooled by disrupting military discipline.”

Grand Tutor Su looked at Emperor Changlong and said, “Your Majesty, if the crime of Princess Ning’an deceiving the emperor is not dealt with according to the law today, others will surely follow suit in the future. Once there is a precedent, it will be difficult for Your Majesty to deal with it. If this continues, the army is the foundation of the country. If this continues, the army will be in chaos, the court will be in turmoil, and the country will cease to exist!”

When he got emotional, he knelt down on both knees, tears streaming down his face, looking heartbroken.

For the sake of the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he was willing to sacrifice his life and shed his blood.

Influenced by Su Taifu's emotions, some court officials also knelt down and offered their advice to Emperor Changlong.

"Your Majesty, Princess Ning'an's deception of the Emperor must not be tolerated!"

"Your Majesty, merits are merits, and demerits are demerits. Princess Ning'an has committed a serious crime, and her merits cannot offset her demerits!"

"A thousand-mile dike can be destroyed by an ant hole. I urge Your Majesty to reconsider!"

"Your Majesty, I believe we should investigate why the Marquis of Zhenbei's family concealed the identity of Princess Ning'an. If it is proven that they harbor treacherous intentions, their entire clan should be executed!"

"emperor……"

……

Upon hearing these voices, Emperor Changlong's face immediately darkened, and he shouted sternly, "Shut up, all of you!"

Everyone fell silent, lowered their heads, and dared not look directly at Emperor Changlong.

Emperor Changlong continued his tirade, “Back then, when the Yan army invaded Fengshadu, you all hid behind the scenes, afraid to lead your troops into battle, and even pushed Princess Ning’an forward! Now that Princess Ning’an has returned victorious and defended the territory, you want to put her to death! Have you all lost your consciences?”

The others remained silent.

Only Grand Tutor Su spoke up, "Your Majesty, Princess Ning'an has rendered meritorious service, but we cannot overlook the crimes she committed because of one person's merits."

"Tell me, what crime has Princess Ning'an committed?" Emperor Changlong asked.

“She was originally a girl, but the Marquis of Zhenbei and his wife dressed her as a boy and raised her as such. This is a sinister act,” said Grand Tutor Su.

“That’s someone else’s daughter. They can raise her however they want. She didn’t eat your rice or use your money. Why are you worrying about it? What does it have to do with you?” Emperor Changlong questioned.

Grand Tutor Su argued, "Your Majesty, if it were an ordinary family raising their daughter as a son, that would be understandable. But the Marquis of Zhenbei is no ordinary man, and he even took Princess Ning'an to the battlefield as a boy. He must have other motives!"

"Grand Tutor Su, tell me, what is the Marquis of Zhenbei plotting?" Emperor Changlong asked angrily.

"I do not know, but I can investigate," said Grand Tutor Su. "Although the Marquis of Zhenbei is dead, Princess Ning'an is still alive. I believe we should start our investigation from Princess Ning'an and investigate thoroughly to the end, so that all the conspiracies and schemes have nowhere to hide!"

"absurd!"

Emperor Changlong was so angry that he slammed his hand on the imperial table, knocking the teacup to the ground.

With a loud crash, the teacup shattered on the floor.

When the emperor is angry, everyone is in danger.

There was dead silence in the hall.

Emperor Changlong's voice sounded even louder and more intimidating.

"The green hills bury loyal bones. All six members of this family were loyal and brave, and their remains have never been found. Now you tell me that they plotted against us. You have chilled not only my heart, but also the hearts of all the soldiers in the land!"

He stared at Grand Tutor Su, his voice icy, "You are right about one thing: we must thoroughly investigate the truth and expose all the conspiracies and schemes!"

Grand Tutor Su looked at Emperor Changlong, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.

However, upon further reflection, he realized that he had already laid out all the traps, and Song Siyao was already in the game; she was doomed to die, so he had nothing to worry about.

Emperor Changlong's voice continued, "The Marquis of Zhenbei is an invincible legend of the Great Zhou, but in the Battle of Panxi two years ago, his entire army was wiped out, along with his sons. Everyone must have suspected that there must be something fishy about this. I had the same suspicions as you, so I sent people to investigate. And the investigation really did uncover something fishy."

He looked at Song Siyao, "Ning An, you tell everyone."

"Yes, Your Majesty..."

Grand Tutor Su interrupted Song Siyao, "Your Majesty, Princess Ning'an is a criminal, she should avoid suspicion, and should not be allowed to investigate."

Emperor Changlong ignored Grand Tutor Su and looked at Song Siyao, "Ning'an, speak!"

"Grand Tutor, do you remember Yang Xianhai?" Song Siyao asked Grand Tutor Su.

Yang Xianhai?

How could Grand Tutor Su not remember? That person has been dead for a long time.

He looked at Song Siyao calmly and said, "Of course I remember. This man was your father's confidant, and he later died in the Battle of Panxi."

“He’s still alive.” Song Siyao looked directly at Grand Tutor Su.

"Still alive? How is that possible? If he is still alive, why hasn't he reported back to the Emperor?" Grand Tutor Su asked.

"Why don't you ask him yourself, Grand Tutor?" Song Siyao looked at Emperor Changlong. "Your Majesty, Yang Xianhai is already waiting outside the palace."

"Xuan!"

As soon as Emperor Changlong finished speaking, a moment later, a guard brought in a thin man who was nearly fifty years old.

The man looked weathered, as if he had experienced a major upheaval, but he still exuded the air of a soldier.

Grand Tutor Su's pupils contracted as he looked at the person before him, a flash of coldness passing through his eyes.

How could this person still be alive?

"Your Majesty, I, a sinful subject, pay my respects." Yang Xianhai knelt on the ground and kowtowed deeply.

Emperor Changlong also recognized Yang Xianhai. This man used to serve under the Marquis of Zhenbei, and Emperor Changlong often heard the Marquis of Zhenbei praise him.

"Yang Xianhai, Grand Tutor Su just said that you died in the Battle of Panxi, but now you are alive. Where have you been all these years?" Emperor Changlong asked.

"Your Majesty, two years ago, during the Battle of Panxi, I did not go to the battlefield and was fortunate enough to survive. After the battle, I was hunted down and fell off a cliff. I survived, but I have amnesia."

Yang Xianhai recounted the events in detail...
