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

The enthusiasm that Consort De had finally managed to muster under the encouragement of the Empress Dowager vanished instantly.

She pursed her lips, feeling deeply saddened. Seeing that Emperor Changlong still refused to look up, she reluctantly left.

Life in the capital proceeded at a leisurely pace. Without Song Siyao and Shen Pei around, Emperor Changlong needed people to do his bidding, and those who had initially distanced themselves from him gradually drew closer to him again.

However, gaining his trust is difficult.

Mid-August.

"Everyone, get some rest tonight. We'll be arriving in the capital of Yan tomorrow," Song Siyao instructed.

"Yes, princess."

The guards obeyed and went about their business. They had become accustomed to Song Siyao's style of doing things during the time they had been following her.

To ensure Princess Qingyan's safety, Song Siyao has been living and eating with her for the past month.

night.

After Song Siyao and Princess Qingyan finished their meal, a guard called her from outside, so she went out.

Before half an incense stick could burn, Hongshao rushed over in a panic, "Princess, Princess Qingyan has committed suicide!"

Upon hearing this, Song Siyao immediately turned back. She entered the room and saw Princess Qingyan spitting blood and her face turning bluish-purple.

This is poisoning!

"What are you trying to do?" Song Siyao immediately administered the antidote to Princess Qingyan.

Princess Qingyan said with a bitter smile, "Princess Youfeng, don't bother. This is a deadly poison. You can't save me."

"There's no poison that I, Song Siyao, can't cure." Song Siyao stuffed the pill into Princess Qingyan's mouth, then pushed her body forward with a forceful motion. Instantly, the pill slid from her throat into her stomach before Princess Qingyan could even resist.

Then, she inserted a needle into Princess Qingyan's acupoint, checked Princess Qingyan's pulse, and said calmly, "The poison has been neutralized."

Princess Qingyan was utterly shocked.

After taking the poison, she felt increasingly weak, as if she were about to die.

Now that the poison has been neutralized, she feels like she's alive again.

She knew Song Siyao was a skilled doctor, but she didn't expect her to be this skilled.

When that person gave her the poison, they said there was no antidote, but Song Siyao broke it so easily.

“Princess Youfeng, we will arrive at the capital by noon tomorrow, and you will be able to see your family and your beloved. Why do you choose to hurt yourself in this way at this time?” Song Siyao asked.

Princess Qingyan looked sad. "Actually, I've wanted to end my life for a long time. If I end my life in the Great Zhou, it will definitely cause you trouble. Princess Youfeng, you've been very kind to me, which has touched me deeply. I don't want to cause you any trouble. I'm currently in the Yan Kingdom, and I'll be arriving in the capital tomorrow. If I end my life here, it certainly won't cause you any trouble."

“This isn’t about causing trouble. I just want you to live well. Even after I return to the Great Zhou in the future, you must cherish your life and live well,” Song Siyao said.

“I can’t find any meaning in living. My purpose in going to the Great Zhou was to arrange a marriage alliance and bring the Yan Kingdom and the Great Zhou closer. Now that I’ve lost my purpose, even if I return to the capital safely, they won’t let me live.”

Princess Qingyan's eyes were lifeless, devoid of any vitality or expectation.

"Did they give you the poison too?" Song Siyao asked, though she already knew the answer.

After leaving the capital, she paid special attention to Princess Qingyan's belongings, and found that Princess Qingyan did not carry any poison.

Princess Qingyan had no opportunity to buy poison along the way, so this poison must have been given to her by someone else.

Princess Qingyan did not hide anything, "Yes, they said that only if I die can the young general be safe."

"Are they people who keep their word?" Song Siyao asked coldly.

Princess Qingyan remained silent, then a bitter smile appeared on her lips.

How could those who wished for her death possibly keep their word?

They will only exploit every last bit of value in her.

"You know everything, so why do you still listen to them and carelessly trample on your own life?"

"I have no choice."

"If the young general is still willing, would you like to leave with him?" Song Siyao asked.

Princess Qingyan's eyes lit up again, only to be extinguished in an instant. "Under the whole heaven, all land belongs to the king. Where can we go if we leave?"

“If you want, I can find a way to let you leave. However, you will no longer be princesses or generals. You will only be ordinary people living in obscurity. Are you willing?” Song Siyao asked.

"Of course I'd be willing. As long as I can be with him, I'd be willing to be a cat or a dog." Princess Qingyan's eyes shone brightly.

"Okay, from now on you must listen to me. You can no longer make decisions on your own, and you must not end your own life," Song Siyao instructed.

"I'll do whatever you say." Princess Qingyan smiled at Song Siyao.

They each had their own master, yet they could sense each other's true feelings.

Song Siyao felt sorry for Princess Qingyan's experiences and knew that Princess Qingyan had not sent any messages to the Yan Kingdom during her time in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, she had goodwill towards Princess Qingyan.

Princess Qingyan, born into the royal family, grew up surrounded by deceit and treachery, with few people genuinely caring for her. Therefore, Song Siyao's kindness was something she cherished.

After this incident, Song Siyao became even more cautious. It wasn't until noon the next day that she met Wen Yuan at the city gate.

At that moment, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

“Princess Youfeng, we meet again.” Wen Yuan had come to meet Song Siyao.

He had previously served as an envoy to the Great Zhou and had interacted with Song Siyao, so the Yan Emperor entrusted him with the task of welcoming Song Siyao.

"King of Chu, it's been a long time." Song Siyao's words were polite but distant.

"Greetings, Brother Wang."

Princess Qingyan bowed to Wen Yuan, who only nodded slightly.

"Princess Youfeng was responsible for bringing my sister back this time. She must have had a long and tiring journey. Thank you for your hard work."

Wen Yuan smiled gently, "My father has prepared a light feast and is waiting for you. Please come in."

"please."

Wen Yuan took Song Siyao and the others directly to the Yan Kingdom's royal palace.

Emperor Yan sat high on his dragon throne, looking down at Song Siyao, staring at her intently with his eyes shining.

He had never met Song Siyao, but had only heard that she was incredibly beautiful. Seeing her today, he was truly amazed.

Song Siyao was the most charming and beautiful woman he had ever seen.

"Song Siyao of the Great Zhou greets Your Majesty." Song Siyao saw the greed in the Yan Emperor's eyes, but she remained calm and composed.

"No need for formalities." Emperor Yan was tall and strong, with a stern and unsmiling demeanor. He appeared domineering and serious, with a deep and calculating mind.

“Your Majesty, I have safely delivered Princess Qingyan of your country. Although the marriage alliance between the Great Zhou and the Yan Kingdom has ended, peace between the two countries remains, and the previous agreement remains unchanged,” Song Siyao said.

"The people have been sent back, so there's no point in saying anything else. However, I do have a good idea: the Yan Kingdom and the Great Zhou can re-establish a marriage alliance." The Yan Emperor looked at Song Siyao with burning eyes.

“Your Majesty, our Great Zhou Emperor has no intention of forming another marriage alliance,” Song Siyao refused.

“Princess Youfeng, this is the Yan Kingdom, and I am the one in charge. You have come all this way, so there is no need for you to go back. I will take you as my concubine, and you will serve as a bridge of peace between the Great Zhou and the Yan Kingdom.”

The Yan Emperor's gaze was extremely aggressive.

"Your Majesty, I am already engaged. Please respect me, respect yourself, and respect the hard-won peace with the Great Zhou."

Song Siyao's voice was firm and resolute.

“I have delivered Princess Qingyan. Your Majesty, farewell.” Song Siyao turned and left.

"Halt!" Emperor Yan shouted.
