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

"princess!"

The Prince of Zhen rushed over, and Song Siyao, who was close to the Princess of Zhen, caught her in her arms.

When the Prince of Zhen arrived, Song Siyao handed the Princess Consort over to him.

"Your Highness need not worry. The Princess Consort was just upset and suffered a heart attack. She is fine."

Song Siyao took out silver needles and inserted them into the acupoints of the Princess Zhen. Instantly, the Princess Zhen slowly woke up.

"Your Highness, are you feeling unwell anywhere?" The Prince of Zhen looked at his wife with a face full of concern.

Princess Zhen shook her head. Princess Ping's words hurt not only her, but also Prince Zhen.

She wasn't the only one to face criticism over the years; the Prince of Zhen also did.

She felt sorry for the Prince of Zhen.

She was actually very upset, but she didn't want the Prince of Zhen to worry about her.

In the meantime, Shen Hong and Kuai Kuai had already put on their clothes.

Princess Ping adjusted her mindset; she was determined to get to the bottom of this matter.

"Kuai Kuai, tell me, did the Crown Prince force you and defile your purity? Don't be afraid, today I, the Princess Consort, will stand up for you and make those who hurt you pay the price!"

Princess Ping looked at Kuai Kuai with a determined expression.

Kuai Kuai looked at Shen Hong, then at Princess Ping, and finally kowtowed to Princess Ping, shouting loudly and aggrievedly, "Your Highness, I am innocent! The young master did not force me. We were framed by Princess Youfeng."

Princess Ping's expression changed upon hearing this. She said somewhat angrily, "Kuai Kuai, has someone threatened you? Don't be afraid, this is the Prince Zhen's residence, I will stand up for you! Speak boldly!"

"Your Highness, I am telling the truth. I was manipulated by Princess Youfeng..."

"Nonsense!" Princess Ping shouted coldly, interrupting Kuai Kuai. "Princess Youfeng is visiting the palace for the first time today. She has no grudge against you. Why would she frame you?"

Kuai Kuai buried her head in the ground, remaining silent; she couldn't find a suitable reason.

"Sixth Sister-in-law, your maid has already said that she was harmed by Princess Youfeng. Why don't you believe her? Why do you insist that my son forced her?"

Princess Ping looked at Song Siyao and said, "Princess Youfeng, I don't care what grudge you have with this maid, but you shouldn't drag my son into this. My son is the heir of the Ping Prince's Mansion, and he is already engaged. How can he get married if you ruin his reputation like this?"

Her tone suddenly turned fierce, "I will take this matter to the Emperor today and ask him to judge the case and clear my son's name!"

The Prince of Ping's mansion has more than one son, Shen Hong.

Princess Ping only had one son, Shen Hong, but Shen Hong was not Prince Ping's most beloved son.

If Shen Hong is unworthy of the position of heir apparent, Prince Ping will surely depose him.

At that time, her days in the Prince Ping's mansion will be plunged into hell.

"Does Princess Ping believe the Crown Prince is innocent?" Song Siyao asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Of course, my son is the heir of the Prince of Ping’s mansion. He is already engaged to Miss Chen from Zizhou. How could he possibly look down on a mere lowly maid?” Princess Ping’s eyes were filled with anger.

The Chen family of Zizhou has been in business for generations and is the richest family in Zizhou.

Rumor has it that the eldest daughter of the Chen family is well-educated, gentle, virtuous, and beautiful.

Kuai Kuai was just a lowly maid, and indeed couldn't compare.

However, this is only what people see on the surface.

"Even if a son is a beast in his mother's eyes, she will still think he is good."

Song Siyao looked at Kuai Kuai with a sarcastic expression. "Kuai Kuai, look at your loyal mistress. She only ever treats you like a lowly servant. The man you like, at crucial moments, also lets his mother scold you."

Kuai Kuai raised her head to look at Song Siyao, then quickly lowered her head again.

"Princess, what do you mean by that?" Princess Zhen asked.

“Your Highness, Kuai Kuai has already betrayed you. Her current loyal mistress is Princess Ping. As for the Crown Prince, the two of them have been in cahoots for a long time,” Song Siyao said.

"Well, Kuai Kuai! I thought you were being forced and wanted to stand up for you and get justice! I never imagined you had already betrayed me!"

Betrayed by one of her own people, she was completely unaware and still defended them.

Princess Ping felt both ashamed and angry.

"Your Highness, this servant..."

“Your Highness, you can find out by sending someone to her residence.” Song Siyao interrupted Kuai Kuai.

"Sangye, take your men and go!" Princess Zhen trusted Song Siyao.

"Yes, princess."

A moment later, the mulberry leaves returned.

She held a handkerchief, a sachet, a jade pendant, and a stack of silver notes in her hands.

"Your Highness, these things were found under Kuai Kuai's pillow."

Princess Ping took the things handed to her by Sang Ye and carefully examined them one by one.

The handkerchief is embroidered with a pair of mandarin ducks, which are playing in the water.

One mandarin duck has the character "筷" (kuài, meaning chopsticks) embroidered on it, while the other mandarin duck has the character "宏" (hóng, meaning grand/magnificent) embroidered on it.

The sachet is embroidered with a pair of chopsticks, and next to the chopsticks is the character "宏".

The jade pendant has the character "宏" on it.

Princess Ping gritted her teeth in anger. She smashed the sachet on Kuai Kuai's head and yelled, "How can you be so shameless? I've told you all that if any of you girls in the Prince's mansion have someone you love, you must tell me, and I will let you marry without hesitation..."
