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

"What happened?" Song Siyao asked Hongshao.

"Someone drank our milk tea and died. Now his family is guarding the store entrance, wanting to kill Sister Yu Xiang in return!"

Hongshao was helping out at the store today when she saw that something was wrong, so she quickly ran back to report it.

Song Siyao got up and left before she could finish listening.

Yan Wei, Feng Bai, and Luo Qing quickly followed.

A large crowd had gathered at the entrance of Iceland Time, with shouts, yells, and cries filling the air.

“My son, you are only two years old. You can’t even speak properly yet. You haven’t seen the beauty of the world or tasted the delicious food. And you’ve left your mother like this.”

A woman in her twenties was kneeling on the ground. In front of her lay a little boy, whose face was bluish-purple and who was lying motionless.

A man stood opposite the woman, hands on his hips, pointing at Yu Xiang kneeling on the ground and cursing, "I don't care who you are, even if it's the King of Heaven himself, I'll make him pay for my son's life today!"

After he finished speaking, he kicked Yu Xiang several more times.

Yu Xiang gritted her teeth and explained, "The young master's death has nothing to do with the milk tea in our shop. Our shop has been open for so long, and nothing like this has ever happened before!"

"Still trying to argue!" The man slapped Yu Xiang again. He waved his hand and pointed at the men standing next to him, "Brothers, it's this woman who killed my son. This shop killed my son. Kill this woman and smash this shop to avenge my son!"

"Stop! You can't smash up the shop!" Yu Xiang shouted angrily.

She let these people punch and kick her because she was afraid they would smash up the shop.

This is Song Siyao's hard work; she entrusted the shop to her because she trusted her.

Even if it costs her life, she will protect this shop.

Seeing these people smashing the shop, she jumped up to stop them.

Seeing that she dared to resist, those people smashed and looted even more violently.

They outnumbered them and, in no time at all, smashed the shop to pieces.

When Song Siyao and the others arrived, the surrounding area was a mess.

Yu Xiang only cared about the shop and not about herself, and dared not hurt anyone rashly for fear of causing trouble for Song Siyao, so she ended up covered in injuries.

"stop!"

Song Siyao shouted sharply, her voice carrying internal force. Those who were fighting trembled, their weapons fell to the ground, and the fighting stopped instantly.

“Princess, you’ve arrived.” Yu Xiang knelt before Song Siyao. “Princess, I’m useless. I failed to protect your life’s work.”

"Get up quickly, you've done very well. Leave the rest to me," Song Siyao instructed Feng Bai. "Treat Yu Xiang's wounds."

"Yes, Master." Feng Bai told Yu Xiang to stand outside the crowd.

"You're Princess Youfeng? This shop is yours, isn't it? Now your stuff has poisoned my son, how do you expect me to compensate you?" the man shouted angrily.

"What compensation? We want her to pay with her life for our son!" the woman roared as she lunged at Song Siyao, her eyes blazing with hatred.

Before the woman could rush to Song Siyao, Yan Wei and Luo Qing were already standing in front of her, one hand behind their back and the other palm facing up towards the woman.

"The truth is still unclear, yet you dared to lay a hand on the princess. This is a capital offense!" Yan Wei's eyes were filled with coldness.

Luo Qing didn't say anything. She was unreasonable; anyone who dared to lay a hand on Song Siyao, no matter who it was, she would hit them first and ask questions later.

"So what if she's a princess? Princes are punished the same as ordinary people for breaking the law. What's so great about a princess? Does a princess not have to pay for murder?" The woman's face was full of anger.

While they were talking, Song Siyao had already finished examining the little boy.

"Yan Wei, Luo Qing, move aside."

Yan Wei and Luo Qing walked to the side, while Song Siyao stood in front of the woman and asked, "Are you the child's mother?"

"That's right, I might as well tell you. I am the wife of the Zhang family in the west of the city. I am not afraid of your revenge. I want you to pay for my son's life!" The Zhang family's wife gritted her teeth, her hatred reaching its extreme.

"Yes! Pay with your life for Zhang Laosan's son!" Zhang Laosan roared.

Song Siyao said calmly, "Your son has a heart condition, did you know that?"

Zhang's wife and Zhang Laosan exchanged a glance, their expressions changing slightly before quickly returning to normal.

"So what if my son was sick? He was perfectly healthy before. He was poisoned to death after drinking your food. You are the murderer!" Zhang's wife pointed at Song Siyao and cursed.

“I have no grudge against you, so why would I poison your child?” Song Siyao asked.

“Yesterday my son came to buy milk tea and knocked over your bucket, wasting your milk. You held a grudge, so today you poisoned him!” Zhang’s daughter-in-law replied.

Song Siyao looked at the store worker, who replied, "Princess, this child did spill the milk yesterday. We know he didn't do it on purpose, so we didn't blame him or make him pay for it..."

"You didn't make him pay, you just took his life!" Zhang's wife shouted.

"Why won't you let us pay? Do you think we can't afford it? We're not short of money, we could pay ten times the amount and we still have plenty of money. Give me back my son!" Zhang Laosan roared viciously.

The store workers had never seen anything like this before and were momentarily at a loss for words.

They meant well by not making the child pay, but how did their good intentions lead to such a bad outcome?

“Since you’re convinced I’m the murderer, then report me to the authorities!” Song Siyao said.

"Report to the authorities? You officials protect each other, and you're a princess, which official would dare not help you?" Zhang's wife started to argue unreasonably.

"No need to report to the authorities! I will avenge my own son!"

Zhang Laosan had somehow acquired a knife, and he was closest to Song Siyao.

He rushed towards Song Siyao with all his might, his knife aimed at Song Siyao's heart.

"Give me back my son's life! Die!!"
