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

By daybreak the following day, the poison in the Empress Dowager's body had been completely cleared.

Shen Pei also finished dealing with the case of ***'s treason.

The Empress Dowager's 70th birthday celebration was a thrilling affair.

Those officials and their families who had returned home were still in shock. When they mentioned the palace coup, they all praised Song Siyao's heroic act of saving the Empress Dowager with a single needle.

However, some people are filled with apprehension and fear towards Song Siyao's strategies, courage, bravery, and status.

Cining Palace.

The Empress Dowager leaned against the soft couch, her eyes slightly closed. Her most trusted Aunt Turnip was gently massaging her legs beside her as the two spoke intimately.

"Wujing, what kind of person do you think Princess Youfeng is?"

Turnip thought for a moment and replied, "Your Majesty, judging from yesterday, Princess Youfeng is quite a good girl. She is highly skilled in martial arts, resourceful, has superb medical skills, and remains calm in the face of danger..."

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager looked up, and before Wujing could finish speaking, she quickly stopped.

"You've only met her a handful of times, yet you're praising her so lavishly. This shows how important she is to the Emperor."

Wujing knew that the Empress Dowager disliked Song Siyao, so even if she really thought Song Siyao was good, she couldn't continue to praise her.

"Your Majesty, what I'm saying is all witnessed by everyone, and she's also treated you well."

"Yes, that's right. She saved my life twice. I owe her a huge favor."

The Empress Dowager's voice contained neither gratitude nor joy.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor values ​​Princess Youfeng, and Prince Ling is also fond of her. Why don't you try observing her a little longer?" Wujing asked tentatively, looking at the Empress Dowager's expression.

The Empress Dowager's expression was clearly displeased, and her voice turned cold, a stark contrast to her usual gentle demeanor in the eyes of outsiders.

"I have long since withdrawn from worldly affairs; whether she is good or bad is none of my concern."

Seeing that there was no room for negotiation with the Empress Dowager, Wujing lowered her head slightly and echoed, "Your Majesty is right."

The reason why the Empress Dowager disliked Song Siyao was quite inexplicable.

Currently, a large part of the reason is that Shen Pei likes Song Siyao.

If we trace it back further, it's because Emperor Changlong was too fond of Consort Rou.

She did not want any woman to influence Emperor Changlong's emotions.

She despised both the former Consort Rou and the current Song Siyao.

A ruler should be pure of heart and have few desires, prioritize the well-being of all people, and should not have personal feelings for his children.

If she had one, she would have it severed by Emperor Changlong.

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes again, seemingly to rest, but in reality, she had already considered countless things in her mind.

Prime Minister's House.

Jiang Yu lay in bed, listening to the servants recount the palace coup they had heard outside.

Just listening to it was breathtaking for her.

Song Siyao's strength has far exceeded her imagination. Moreover, with Shen Pei together, they are a powerful alliance, invincible throughout the entire Great Zhou.

At this moment, Jiang Yu felt an unprecedented surge of jealousy.

Originally, everything Song Siyao possessed belonged to her.

If she were standing next to Shen Pei, she could be just as outstanding as Song Siyao.

What's most terrifying is that Song Siyao's position in Emperor Changlong's heart is unmatched by anyone, including her father.

Especially that trust, which went beyond the trust between a ruler and his subjects.

Throughout history, few can compare to him.

Jiang Yu was filled with panic. She couldn't wait for her injuries to heal; she had to start working on a new plan.

She wanted the Empress Dowager to retract her order and allow her to enter the palace.

She wanted to climb to the pinnacle of life step by step, trampling Song Siyao under her feet and grinding her mercilessly.

The first step she needed to take was to find someone who would absolutely support her.

So she ordered her maid, "Go and fetch Supervisor Chen; I want to see him!"

"Yes, Miss." The maid acknowledged the order.

As Jiang Yu said, even her father's position in Emperor Changlong's heart was not as high as Song Siyao's.

Therefore, Prime Minister Jiang panicked as well.

He has gathered his students and subordinates, and they are currently in his study discussing the next steps in his plan.

They wanted to weaken Song Siyao's position in the court and take back their power from her.

A conspiracy is brewing, chaos is brewing, and the Great Zhou Dynasty is about to face a new round of turmoil.

Jiang Xiang gazed into the distance, his cloudy eyes flashing with a chilling light that sent shivers down one's spine.

Prince Zhen's Mansion.

Compared to other mansions, this place is paradise, filled with joy.

Princess Zhen could hardly believe it was true. She repeatedly asked Song Siyao for confirmation, "You said you've found the antidote and will be able to cure me soon?"

"Yes, Your Highness." Song Siyao smiled faintly.

"Sixth Aunt, Yaoyao is very reliable in her words and deeds. She never speaks lightly about things she's not sure about," Shen Pei chimed in from the side.

Princess Zhen laughed and teased, "Oh dear, I didn't say anything about Youfeng, and you're already starting to defend him?"

Shen Pei said seriously, unusually so, "Sixth Aunt, I told Yao Yao that I will always stand by her side."

Princess Zhen smiled gently, "The idea is good, and it should indeed be done this way, but I have something to say."

Her expression suddenly turned serious. "Pei'er, since you care so much about Princess Youfeng, you should give her a title sooner rather than later. Given her current status in the Great Zhou, countless men in the Great Zhou covet her. You can't give others a chance. Moreover, with a title, she can be better protected."

“Your sixth aunt is right. You’re a man, so you have to take the initiative. If you like a girl, you should marry her as soon as possible,” the town king echoed.

"Yes, Sixth Uncle, Sixth Aunt," Shen Pei replied, looking at Song Siyao with a slight smile and a face full of doting affection.

He couldn't wait to marry Song Siyao.

However, some things have to be done slowly, and Song Siyao still has many things to finish.

He had to stay with her.

However, we can wait until after the wedding to get engaged.

"Your Highness, I came here today to help you detoxify. How did we end up talking about me?"

Song Siyao really didn't want to get married now.

She also has another family annihilation case on her shoulders, and she must thoroughly investigate that case.

Otherwise, she would be unable to eat or sleep properly.

"It's alright, it's alright. Men should marry when they come of age, and women should marry when they come of age. It's perfectly acceptable for a man to settle down first and then establish his career," Princess Zhen said with a smile.

"Pei'er, you must work hard and speed up your pace." The Prince of Zhen and the Princess of Zhen are always on the same side.

"Yes, Sixth Uncle, Sixth Aunt." Shen Pei said earnestly, having taken the advice of the Prince and Princess to heart.

Seeing that the Prince and Princess were still urging Shen Pei to get married, Song Siyao quickly changed the subject. Otherwise, the couple seemed determined to have Shen Pei immediately go to the palace to report to Emperor Changlong and then set a wedding date.

"Your Highness, I will now detoxify you," Song Siyao said.

"Yes, thank you, Princess." The Princess Consort looked on expectantly.

“Your Highness, I need…” Song Siyao told the Princess Zhen what she needed to detoxify.
