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

"I'm innocent! What crime could I possibly confess to? I want to see my mother!"

Wei Hongjin panicked completely. She couldn't even care about the bell peppers anymore; all she wanted to do was run away as quickly as possible.

“Princess Hongjin, the evidence is irrefutable. I think you'd better confess quickly to avoid physical punishment!” Chen Jiang warned coldly, ordering the yamen runners to block Wei Hongjin’s path.

Wei Hongjin retorted, "My mother is the eldest princess, let's see who dares to touch me!"

"I dare!"

Song Siyao looked at Wei Hongjin with a chilling gaze, a kind of imposing authority that made people afraid to look directly at her.

"Even princes are subject to the law, Wei Hongjin. Do you think you can escape?"

"Princess Youfeng, what an arrogant tone!"

No sooner had Song Siyao finished speaking than the Eldest Princess stormed in with her entourage.

Her gaze swept quickly and sharply around her, finally landing on Song Siyao, and she warned in a stern voice, "With this princess here today, no one can touch my daughter!"

"What if I insist on moving?" Song Siyao looked directly into the Princess's eyes.

Their eyes met, tensions rose, and a war without gunpowder was about to begin.

"Then you try!" The princess refused to back down, unleashing her full aura in an attempt to suppress Song Siyao.

"Go in!" At this moment, the yamen runners brought in several people dressed as commoners.

The constable reported to Chen Jiang, "Sir, we've investigated and found out that these people are not ordinary citizens at all. They were arranged by Princess Hongjin to cooperate with Zhang Laosan in stirring up trouble. We pretended to be ordinary citizens, incited public opinion, and led the way in framing Princess Youfeng."

Just now, in front of the milk tea shop, these people led a disturbance. Song Siyao noticed that something was wrong with them, so she told Chen Jiang. Chen Jiang immediately ordered the yamen runners to arrest and interrogate these people.

Just then, the interrogation yielded results.

"Nonsense! I don't know them at all!" Wei Hongjin would of course not admit it.

“Wei Hongjin, in order to get revenge on me, you bribed Zhang Laosan and his wife to poison their son and frame me. In order to escalate the situation, you also bribed these people to incite public opinion. You want to use public opinion to kill me even if the law cannot punish me.”

At this moment, Song Siyao had already pieced together the whole story.

When Wei Hongjin realized that her purpose had been exposed, she flew into a rage and refused to confess, saying, "I am innocent! This matter has nothing to do with me!"

Today, she overheard the Princess being unhappy about Song Siyao outside, so she decided to ruin Song Siyao.

Of course, she had planned to take revenge on Song Siyao long ago; she just brought the plan forward today.

Therefore, her plan had flaws.

Otherwise, Song Siyao would never have been able to trace it back to her.

Recently, the princess's household has been experiencing a shortage of funds, and her monthly allowance has decreased compared to before.

This matter required a large sum of money, so she had to pawn her belongings to obtain the funds, which provided concrete evidence.

She's putting on a brave face now. If Song Siyao insists on punishing her, with this evidence, she definitely won't be able to escape punishment.

Wei Hongjin begged the princess for help, her eyes filled with fear, tears welling up in her eyes.

The eldest princess's eyes hardened as she glared at Wei Hongjin, then turned to Caijiao beside her and demanded sharply, "Caijiao, why did you harm Princess Youfeng?"

Bell Pepper looked stunned; the scapegoat role had come too suddenly, and she hadn't even had time to process it.

"Your Highness, this servant..."

Before Caijiao could finish speaking, the eldest princess interrupted her sharply, "I know that you and the princess are deeply in love, and that you are loyal to the monarch and cannot bear to see her suffer even the slightest grievance, which is why you thought of standing up for her."

"Your Highness, I am innocent! I did not..." Caijiao did not want to die, she was still trying to defend herself, she was just following orders.

Little did she know, this would hasten her death.

"Bell peppers!"

The eldest princess looked at Caijiao, slowly approached her, and lowered her voice, "I pity your loyalty and will treat your family well, but a loyal servant should act like a loyal servant."

A short sword appeared in her hand, and in the next instant, it pierced the bell pepper's heart.

"Long..." The bell pepper fell backward to the ground.

"Princess, you're silencing me!" Chen Jiang roared in fury.

Song Siyao arrived at Caijiao's side, but it was too late; Caijiao was already dead.

"I'm just acting in accordance with the law. Although Caijiao is from the princess's residence, I will never protect her!" the princess argued illogically.

"You think that just because you killed Caijiao, I can't do anything to Wei Hongjin?" Song Siyao stood up and stared at the Princess.

"The murderer is dead, Song Siyao, stop causing trouble!" the princess scolded.

"Anyone who blasphemes or disregards the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be punished by the law!" Song Siyao pointed at Wei Hongjin and said to the Princess, "Even your daughter, Princess, is no exception!"

The eldest princess laughed heartily, her laughter unrestrained and arrogant. She looked at Song Siyao with a ferocious expression.

"Song Siyao, you're just like your dead father. You keep spouting righteousness and morality, but you're nothing but a hypocrite!"

The eldest princess said smugly, "I'll stand right here today and see how you manage to harm my daughter!"
