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

“Your Highness, with me here, you will live,” Song Siyao said.

"Are you telling the truth?" Princess Zhen looked shocked, then overjoyed, but still somewhat incredulous, and asked with a hint of doubt, "Princess, are you trying to comfort me and help me regain my confidence?"

Song Siyao said seriously, "Your Highness, I am not lying to you. Your illness is indeed very troublesome, but it is not incurable. You can rest assured and leave the rest to me."

Princess Zhen had never met Song Siyao before, but she knew her and knew that she was not someone who spoke carelessly.

She always keeps her word and delivers on her promises.

In an instant, a light suddenly shone in the Princess Consort's dull eyes.

"I trust you, Princess. Just tell me what you need me to do."

"Eat well, sleep well, and maintain a happy mood. A good mindset is the nemesis of all diseases," Song Siyao said.

"Alright." The Princess's smile brightened. "Princess, what illness do I have?"

……

Song Siyao talked with the Princess Consort of Zhen for a while before leaving. As she walked out of the Princess Consort's courtyard, the steward of the Prince's Mansion came to greet her.

"Princess Youfeng, His Highness requests your presence in the study."

"Please lead the way."

Song Siyao met the Prince of Zhen in the study. "Greetings, Your Highness."

"Princess Youfeng, please sit down." After Song Siyao sat down, the Prince of Zhen went straight to the point, "Princess, is there still a cure for the Princess's illness?"

Song Si raised an eyebrow slightly, and the Prince of Zhen continued, "Did the Princess say that she had been hiding it from me, thinking that I didn't know about her illness?"

Princess Zhen has been ill for many years.

When she was in her fiefdom, every time a doctor came to examine her, she would send the town prince away and specifically instruct the doctor not to tell the town prince the truth.

The Prince of Zhen smiled bitterly. "She thought she had kept it a secret, that I knew nothing. Little did she know, it was just a facade I put on to keep her from worrying. In reality, I knew everything. I had instructed the doctors to fully cooperate with the Princess."

That makes sense. How could those doctors dare to deceive the Prince of Zhen?

“Princess Youfeng, tell me the truth, how much longer does the Princess have? I can endure it.”

The Prince of Zhen appeared calm, but his shifty eyes betrayed his inner panic.

Song Siyao was his last hope.

“Your Highness, I can save the Princess,” Song Siyao said.

The Prince of Zhen was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment. He even thought he had misheard.

After a long while, the Prince of Zhen asked Song Siyao, "Princess Youfeng, is what you said true?"

“It’s true. Actually, the princess’s illness wasn’t originally this serious. It was the poison in her body that aggravated her condition. Fortunately, you arrived in time; any later and it would have been too late,” Song Siyao said.

"Poison?" The town king was somewhat surprised.

"Your Highness, has the Princess Consort's health been poor all along?" Song Siyao asked.

The Prince nodded, frowning. "Before the Princess Consort married, she was in good health, but since she married into the Prince's mansion, she has been frequently ill. Her health has been deteriorating year by year. She has to wear winter clothes even in summer. I have consulted countless doctors, but they are all helpless and cannot even find the cause of her illness."

"Your Highness, the Princess Consort has been in the household for over twenty years, hasn't she?" Song Siyao asked.

"This year marks the 21st year."

"That's right, the poison in the princess's body has been there for about this many years."

Upon hearing this, the Prince's face instantly turned cold. "Does the princess mean that the Princess Consort was poisoned after entering the Prince's residence?"

“That’s possible,” Song Siyao said.

"I will investigate the matter of the Princess Consort's poisoning. Princess Youfeng, how should we treat the Princess Consort's illness now?" The Prince of Zhen asked anxiously.

“The princess’s illness requires detoxification before treatment, but Your Highness, I do not have the antidote here at the moment,” Song Siyao replied.

Just like when I treated Shen Pei's leg.

Without detoxification, the disease cannot be cured.

"What is the antidote? I will send people to find it immediately. Just tell me if it can save the princess." The Prince of Zhen's eyes were full of fervor. He saw hope for the princess's survival and was extremely excited.

Song Siyao replied, "Rush pith."

"Rush pith? Good! I'll send people to find it immediately!" The Prince of Zhen said anxiously.

"Your Highness, please wait a moment. I will draw you a picture. Rush pith is relatively rare. You can use the picture I draw to find it."

"Very well! Thank you, Princess." The Prince of Zhen was full of gratitude. "There is pen and ink here."

Song Siyao drew quickly. She handed the finished drawing to the Prince of Zhen and instructed, "Your Highness, before we find the antidote, I will administer acupuncture to the Princess to control the poison in her body and slow down the progression of her illness."

"Thank you, Princess Youfeng." The Prince of Zhen bowed to Song Siyao.

Song Siyao stepped aside and only accepted half a bow.

In fact, she didn't tell the whole truth to the Prince of Zhen.
