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

When Consort Zhen heard the Empress Dowager scolding the Eldest Princess, she was instantly enraged. With a forceful movement, a bloody mark appeared on the Empress Dowager's neck.

"what!"

The sudden, excruciating pain caused the Empress Dowager to scream, her face turning deathly pale, and large beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.

Upon hearing the Empress Dowager's cry, Consort Zhen seemed to have tasted the thrill of revenge; her eyes gleamed with excitement, and her smile became ferocious.

“Every time the late emperor gave you something good, you would take it to my palace, saying you were sharing it with me, but really you were just showing off. Who would want to share something truly good?”

“Every time someone in the palace makes things difficult for me, you pretend to stand up for me. Everyone says you are kind, and the late emperor also praised you, saying that you are sensible and reasonable. I am the one who is wronged, but no one says a word for me. You get all the benefits. Everyone says you are good, but what is good about you? You are clearly a maggot who climbs up by stepping on my blood!”

"You! The late emperor! None of you are good people. The late emperor always said that he loved the eldest princess the most, and that he would give her the moon and stars in the sky if she wanted them. In the end, didn't he still send the eldest princess to marry a foreign ruler? He made the eldest princess suffer endless torment and ruined her life's happiness!"

"You say you care about me and are good to me, so why didn't you advise the late emperor not to let the eldest princess go for the marriage alliance? Why didn't you stop it?"

After scolding the Empress Dowager and the late Emperor, Consort Zhen began to scold Emperor Changlong, "And you, you dog emperor, you keep saying you love the eldest princess. When the eldest princess went to marry a foreign ruler, you didn't stop her. Later, when the eldest princess came back, you suppressed her. She finally had a daughter, and you imprisoned her in the imperial prison. How cruel you are!"

She pointed at everyone, her face fierce, "You are all hypocrites, two-faced! Hypocritical! You bullied us orphans and widows, so we'll kill you all!"

The Empress Dowager was disappointed and heartbroken. Her past care for Consort Zhen had always been genuine. "Consort Zhen, you are too self-righteous. Do you think everyone should revolve around you? You blame everyone for the slightest thing that doesn't go your way. The Eldest Princess has followed your example and learned all your selfishness. Princess Youfeng is right. The suffering the Eldest Princess endured in Wu was entirely her own fault, and she deserved it!"

"Back then, the late emperor sent the eldest princess to marry into the Wu Kingdom. How could I persuade him? Your daughter is a treasure, but aren't other people's daughters also treasures? As Princess Youfeng said, the Great Zhou lost the war against the Wu Kingdom because of the eldest princess. She should naturally bear the consequences of her mistakes."

Emperor Changlong's face was terrifyingly cold. "Consort Zhen, if I hadn't considered my sibling relationship with the Princess and understood the suffering she endured in Wu, she would have been dead long ago for the crimes she committed! Put down the dagger now, and I will be lenient with you. If you dare to harm the Empress Dowager, I will ensure that you all die without a burial place!"

"Hahaha...!" Consort Zhen laughed loudly, her eyes filled with hatred, almost spitting out their sockets. "Today we are the ones to punish you. Your lives are in our hands, and we decide everything!"

The eldest princess looked at Emperor Changlong and said, "Brother, you are too cowardly. This throne should be mine. You should write a letter of abdication now and announce to the world that you are willingly giving up the throne to me. I will spare your life out of consideration for our past relationship and let you die of old age in the palace."

"Want to sit in this position? We'll see if you have the ability!" Emperor Changlong's eyes sharpened, and he ordered, "Youfeng, make your move!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Siyao's hand moved.

With a flick of his sleeve, Song Si sent three silver needles flying out.

A dagger struck Consort Zhen's hand, and with a clang, it fell to the ground.

The force of the silver needles stung Consort Zhen's arm, making her even angrier. She bent down to pick up the dagger, intending to kidnap the Empress Dowager again, but Song Siyao had already flown in front of her.

Song Siyao kicked Consort Zhen away and then helped the Empress Dowager up with both hands.

Consort Zhen crashed into the wall and coughed up blood.

The other two silver needles struck the Princess and Wei Chuanbai. Instantly, the two became numb and unable to move, as if they had been poisoned.

"Mother concubine!"

The eldest princess shouted at Consort Zhen, wanting to save her, but she couldn't move, her body was powerless, and she could only watch helplessly as Consort Zhen's face was full of ferocity, her voice shaking the hall, "Song Siyao, I'm going to kill you!"

"It's a pity you'll never have the chance!" Song Siyao checked the Empress Dowager's pulse and, seeing that she was alright, handed her over to Xiangchun.

She stood beside Emperor Changlong, awaiting his command.

Emperor Changlong looked at the eldest princess and asked, "Eldest Princess, do you know your crime?"

The princess, her face full of indignation, stretched her neck and shouted, "I am innocent! You are the guilty ones, you owe me!"

"The Princess has committed treason, murdered the Emperor, and usurped the throne. Her crimes are heinous. She is hereby stripped of her title as Princess, demoted to a commoner, and sentenced to death!"

Emperor Changlong had already done everything he could to be benevolent and righteous.

He was a benevolent ruler. If the princess had admitted her mistake and confessed her guilt, he would have spared her life.

However, the eldest princess never admitted that she was wrong. She felt that everything was someone else's fault, and that if she kept such a person alive, she would surely bring harm to others in the future.

The eldest princess looked at Emperor Changlong, thinking she had misheard, and coldly questioned, "What did you say? You want to kill me? The empire you sit on now was bought with my help. What right do you have to order my death? Without me, you are nothing!"

She had said these words countless times before, but Emperor Changlong forgave her time and time again.

But she remained ungrateful and instead became even more ungrateful.

"Unrepentant, you deserve to die!" Emperor Changlong's face was cold as he sternly ordered, "Drag him away!"

The guards, upon receiving the order, stepped forward to restrain the princess.

At this moment, the eldest princess was certain that Emperor Changlong really wanted to kill her.

She panicked.

"You can't kill me! I am a meritorious official of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Without me, there would be no Great Zhou today!" the princess shouted, her eyes filled with panic and fear.

She was a person who cherished her life very much. Even though life was so difficult in the Kingdom of Wu, she never thought of ending it.

"Your Majesty, this matter is my fault. I orchestrated all the conspiracies myself. It has nothing to do with the Princess. I beg Your Majesty to spare the Princess's life. I will atone with my death!" Wei Chuanbai knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Emperor Changlong, begging for mercy.

The eldest princess looked at Wei Chuanbo, the man she initially looked down upon. After so many years of marriage, he had always tolerated and forgiven her, and in the end, he rebelled with her for her sake.

Now that she's dying, Wei Chuanbai certainly won't be able to escape either.

However, Wei Chuanbai actually wanted to exchange his life for hers. This idea was absurd, but it moved her deeply.

“Consort Wei, you are guilty of the same crime as the Princess. What life will you give to exchange for hers?” Emperor Changlong asked.
