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

"Your Majesty, today is your birthday. Let's not let such a matter spoil your mood. Could this punishment be postponed to another day?"

Princess Ping did not give up. As long as the Empress Dowager agreed to postpone the punishment until after the birthday banquet, she could find a way to get the Empress Dowager to withdraw the punishment.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this humble subject..."

"Anyone who pleads for leniency will be punished the same!" The Empress Dowager showed no mercy whatsoever.

Princess Ping and Prime Minister Jiang were unwilling, but they were helpless and could only watch as Jiang Yu was taken away by the guards.

Jiang Yu gave up struggling; her face was ashen, and she looked like a walking corpse.

After today, even if she is still alive, it will be no different from being dead.

The legitimate daughter of the prime minister of a nation, she is well-versed in literature and possesses unparalleled beauty. If nothing unexpected happens, the future empress's throne will surely belong to her.

Now, she has nothing left.

From now on, her life will be a joke.

All of this is thanks to Song Siyao.

Song Siyao ruined her life, so she will ruin Song Siyao in return.

For the rest of her life, her goal is Song Siyao; she wants Song Siyao to suffer a fate worse than death.

As Jiang Yu's figure disappeared from Qiwu Palace, everyone sighed with regret.

They thought Jiang Yu's silence meant she had resigned herself to her fate, but little did they know that this was the prelude to a storm; her silence was a prelude to a greater outburst.

The originally lively and joyous birthday banquet suddenly became oppressive because of Jiang Yu's despicable behavior. The Empress Dowager was unhappy, and no one else dared to show any joy.

The tense and oppressive atmosphere was shattered by the sudden assassination attempt.

An arrow flew out of nowhere and headed straight for Emperor Changlong. Fortunately, Song Siyao, who was standing, was very close to Emperor Changlong. The moment she saw the arrow, the silver needle in her sleeve immediately flew out.

When the arrow was less than a meter away from Emperor Changlong, the silver needle struck the arrow, and the arrow fell to the ground instantly.

At the same time, screams and chaos erupted inside the hall.

More assassins poured into the hall, their arrows flying wildly and indiscriminately injuring people.

"Help! Help!" Wang Fu shouted at the top of his lungs.

Song Siyao slashed through the hail of arrows and flew to Emperor Changlong's side. "Your Majesty, please step back!"

"Sister, let's go!" Consort Zhen, who was sitting next to the Empress Dowager, quickly came over, took the Empress Dowager's hand, and walked towards a less crowded place.

The Empress Dowager had no suspicions and followed Consort Zhen.

As the assassins rushed in, the guards also emerged from all directions of the hall, as if they had foreseen the assassination and were well prepared.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, all the surviving assassins were subdued.

Apart from *** and Wei Baichuan.

The two men, swords in hand, stood back to back, their eyes fixed on their surroundings with the wariness of wolves, blood dripping from the tips of their swords.

The people inside the hall stared at the two men in horror, completely unprepared for the fact that *** and Wei Chuanbo would rebel at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet.

The situation was brought under control. Emperor Changlong walked out from behind Song Siyao, unharmed, with a dignified expression and no surprise in his eyes.

"Your Highness, don't make a futile struggle, just surrender." Emperor Changlong looked down at him, his voice icy cold.

Surrender? Absolutely not!

*** sneered, "You knew about our plan all along?"

"Of course, your every move is under my control," Emperor Changlong said with a face full of confidence.

*** couldn't believe it; her plan was so secretive, how could Emperor Changlong have known?

Everyone in the capital knew she was arrogant, but that was all she was; she did not overstep any boundaries within the imperial authority.

"Brother, when did you begin to doubt me?" *** asked.

"It wasn't me who first doubted you, but Princess Youfeng," Emperor Changlong said.

The moment *** looked at Song Siyao, hatred burst forth in her eyes, "Song Siyao, it's you again! You and your father are my nemesis! You and your father have ruined my life!"

Song Si shook his head, his gaze as cold as ice. "***, your life was ruined by your greed, delusions, and hatred, and has nothing to do with anyone else!"

"You and your father are just like each other, high and mighty, self-righteous, looking down on all living beings like saints, thinking yourselves to be perfect and flawless, but in reality you are just moral lackeys!" *** cursed loudly, like a wronged shrew, completely losing her composure.

In contrast, Song Siyao is dignified, elegant, and imposing.

“***, no one’s life is perfect. Everyone is bound to experience ups and downs in life. But to blame all the setbacks and hardships on others, and even to take revenge on others in order to quell your own pain, is selfish.”

Song Siyao spoke sharply, “As a subject, you have defied your superiors, which is disloyalty. As a human being, you have indiscriminately killed the innocent, which is unjust. As a child, you have implicated your own relatives, which is unfilial. As the emperor of the Great Zhou, you do not protect the people of the world, but instead disrupt the stability of the court and destroy the peace and happiness of the people, which is inhumanity.”

"You! You are a disloyal, unjust, unfilial, and heartless wretch! You still utter these vile words, endangering the people! Your crimes are heinous!"

Holding the Demon-Slaying Sword, Song Siyao exuded righteousness and majesty, his gaze fixed on the demon, intimidating all around.

The Demon-Slaying Sword can slay imperial relatives and corrupt officials.

To eradicate all evil in the world and restore a bright and clear world for all people.

*** looked at the Demon-Slaying Sword and laughed loudly.

Emperor Changlong bestowed the Demon-Slaying Sword upon Song Siyao, allowing her to point it at her, thus letting Song Siyao decide her fate.

In that instant, she seemed like a completely different person, her face contorted in a grotesque grimace, a cold smile playing on her lips, as if possessed by a demon. She truly resembled the embodiment of evil.

She vented all the grievances and dissatisfaction she had suffered over the years, and she didn't care whether she became a demon or a ghost.

She's completely gone mad!

"I am a subject, but my ruler is unrighteous. Why should I be loyal? I should rise up and take control of the world. I should be the only one who can decide the life and death of others, and no one should be allowed to harm me in the slightest!"

“As the princess of the Great Zhou, I, Shen Xin, am worthy of this title. If I hadn’t gone to the Wu Kingdom for a marriage alliance back then, the Wu cavalry would have trampled the Great Zhou to pieces, the Great Zhou would have been destroyed, and the people of the Great Zhou would have been reduced to ashes! They wouldn’t even have had their lives, so how could they have had any happiness?”

“Song Siyao, when it comes to the contributions I’ve made to the Great Zhou, I’m no less than you. In fact, I’ve sacrificed more than you. So why am I seen as an evil princess by the world, while you are renowned and considered a god?”

Many years ago, the Great Zhou and the Wu Kingdom fought a war. The Great Zhou was defeated, and the Wu Kingdom requested a marriage alliance. The Great Zhou sent a princess to arrange the marriage.

When she arrived in the Kingdom of Wu, she found that the Wu royal family did not treat her like a human being at all, subjecting her to endless humiliation and torment, to the point that she was ultimately unable to conceive normally.

Finally, it was the Marquis of Zhenbei who led his troops to attack the State of Wu, defeated Wu, and rescued the ***.
