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

“Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with Princess Youfeng. How can you be so sure it was her?” Lan Zi asked.

"Jiang Hexia and Song Siyao are like sisters. Since she doesn't want to marry Prince Jin, Song Siyao will naturally help her. Looking across the entire capital, only Song Siyao has the ability to uncover secrets from many years ago in just one day." The Empress's gaze was ruthless.

"Your Majesty, what do you plan to do?" Lan Zi asked.

"It is impolite not to reciprocate. She caused the Prince of Jin to be punished, so I will repay her with double the pain and make her wish she were dead!"

The empress strode forward, exuding a murderous aura.

The Zhenbei Marquis's Residence.

"Princess, Prince Jin has been punished." Cang Yue reported the situation in the palace to Song Siyao.

“He deserved it,” Song Siyao said casually.

She had known about Shen Heng's matter for a long time, but she released it at the right time.

Once this matter comes to light, Shen Heng's reputation will definitely be damaged.

Shen Heng, who was once known for his good character, is now infamous. Not only will he be unable to marry Jiang Hexia, but he will also lose the support of the people.

Song Siyao knew that Shen Heng's proposal to the general's mansion was the empress's idea.

The Empress values ​​Jiang Yu and desires the power behind her.

She ruined Jiang Yu, and the Empress, having lost Jiang Yu's support, will surely retaliate against her.

If one can get revenge on her while also gaining a new ally, then Jiang Hexia is the best choice.

Jiang Hexia and Song Siyao are close friends, but the Empress doesn't like her. Even if she marries Shen Heng in the future, the Empress won't treat her well.

Therefore, she wanted to ruin Shen Heng so that he would never be able to marry Jiang Hexia.

As for the Empress, she was not favored in the palace, and her only ceremonial attendant was Shen Heng.

She and Shen Heng and their son were one; their fates were intertwined, whether they prospered or suffered.

To strike at Shen Heng is to strike at the Empress.

"Princess, do you think the Empress and Prince Jin will suspect that you did this?" Hongshao asked curiously.

"The Empress will definitely guess that I did it, but I'm not afraid of her finding out. In fact, I want her to know. I want her to know that anyone who dares to touch the people around me will pay a terrible price!"

Song Siyao's expression was icy, her eyes filled with cold light.

"Cang Yue, keep an eye on the Empress and Prince Jin. You two have definitely been up to something lately. Report to me immediately if anything unusual happens."

Cang Yue replied, "Yes, Princess."

The news of Emperor Changlong's punishment of Shen Heng spread throughout the capital city in less than half a day.

General's Mansion.

"Father, Mother, the crisis at the General's Mansion has been resolved." Jiang Hexia, having heard about Shen Heng outside, rushed over to tell General Jiang and Madam Jiang.

"Your father already knew," Madam Jiang said with a slight smile as she looked at Jiang Hexia.

"Our General's Mansion owes Princess Youfeng a great favor this time." General Jiang looked heavy-hearted and somewhat troubled. In terms of fame, power, or wealth, Song Siyao was far better off than the General's Mansion.

He really didn't know how to repay Song Siyao's kindness.

Madam Jiang agreed with General Jiang's idea, "The general is right. We must find an opportunity to properly repay Princess Youfeng."

Jiang Hexia said, "Father, Mother, Sister Song has a special status now, and there are countless people watching her. If there is the slightest disturbance, others will use it as leverage against her. So don't think about how to repay her."

"Our Xiaxia has grown up. Your analysis is very accurate. It seems you have learned a lot from Princess Youfeng." General Jiang said with a look of satisfaction.

Madam Jiang said, "Xiaxia, we have received Princess Youfeng's kindness. If we do nothing for her, wouldn't we seem heartless and ungrateful?"

“Mother, you’re overthinking it. Sister Song is such a smart person. You and Father don’t have to do anything; that’s the greatest gratitude you can show her. I’ll stay by her side the whole time, and I’ll do everything I can to help her whenever she needs me. If I step in, the doctor won’t be able to find anything to use against me,” Jiang Hexia explained.

Madam Jiang and General Jiang exchanged a glance, both of them looking satisfied.

"Xiaxia, from now on you will be with Princess Youfeng. With her guiding you, we can rest assured," General Jiang said.

Madam Jiang instructed, "Daughter, you are by Princess Youfeng's side, and the two of you are one, sharing honor and disgrace. Princess Youfeng is resourceful and very quick-witted. You must listen to her in everything. No matter what others say or do, you must trust her and be of one mind with her."

"Mother, I understand, so please don't worry," Jiang Hexia said with a smile.

Even if everyone in the world betrays Song Siyao, Jiang Hexia would never betray her.

"In that case, your father and I can rest assured." Madam Jiang looked at Jiang Hexia, her eyes slightly moist.

She was both pleased that her daughter had grown up and become sensible, and also felt a little lost and heartbroken. Her daughter had grown up, had her own friends, and was going to explore a wider world, no longer needing her as her mother.

As daylight fades, its unique brightness fades, and night arrives as scheduled, bringing with it darkness.

The Prince Zhen's Mansion, study.

The Prince of Zhen looked at the letter in his hand, his expression very complicated.

The letter read: "Meet me at the usual place at 1:15 PM."

He could tell whose handwriting it was at a glance; it was the handwriting he had always dreamed of.

Seeing this handwriting can make him happy all day.

Now, he hasn't seen this handwriting for many, many years. When he sees it again, he feels no emotion, no joy whatsoever.

"Your Majesty."

At this moment, the voice of the Princess Consort came from beside the Prince of Zhen, and he quickly put away the letter in his hand.

"Your Highness, what brings you here?" The Prince of Zhen felt a little guilty and dared not look directly into the Princess of Zhen's eyes.

“You ate little for dinner, and I was worried you weren’t full, so I cooked you some porridge. Have some more.”

Princess Zhen placed the bowl on the desk and casually asked Prince Zhen, "Your Highness, what are you thinking about? I called you a few times just now, but you didn't answer."

She saw the letter in the Prince's hand, but she didn't ask what was written in it or who wrote it.

She hadn't seen that expression on the Prince's face for many years.

Based on her woman's intuition, she knew that something must have happened to the Prince of Zhen.

But she believed in the King of Zhen.

She would listen if the Prince of Zhen was willing to tell her.

If the Prince of Zhen is unwilling to speak, she will not force him.

The Prince of Zhen had already put the letter into his sleeve; he had no intention of telling the Princess Consort its contents.

He believed that the person who wrote the letter was not important at all, and there was no need to let such an unimportant person affect his relationship with the Princess Consort.

"I think the poison in your body has just been neutralized and your body has not fully recovered. You need to rest well and don't overwork yourself."

Upon hearing this, the Princess Consort looked at the Prince, knowing that he was lying.
