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

As night fell, Song Siyao changed into her night clothes and sneaked into the palace alone.

She quietly entered the imperial study and saw Emperor Changlong sitting alone at his desk reviewing memorials.

She looked at the familiar Emperor Changlong before her, yet felt an overwhelming sense of unfamiliarity.

The person in front of me looks exactly like Emperor Changlong.

Everyone has their own bone structure and skin appearance.

Physical appearances may be similar or identical, but the underlying structure is like the leaves in the world; no two leaves are exactly alike.

Similarly, there are no two people in the world with exactly the same bone structure.

This person's bone structure is different from that of Emperor Changlong.

After Song Siyao had found her answer, she quietly left the palace.

The next day.

early morning.

Just as Song Siyao was about to enter the palace, someone from the palace came and said that Emperor Changlong wanted to see her.

When she met Emperor Changlong in the Imperial Study, she became even more certain of her deduction from the previous night.

"This humble woman greets Your Majesty," Song Siyao bowed.

"Princess Youfeng, what did you do in Pingyang County?" Emperor Changlong began his interrogation with a stern tone.

"I followed Your Majesty's orders to combat the locust plague, punish corrupt officials, and uncover the truth behind the locust plague," Song Siyao replied truthfully.

"Besides these, you haven't done anything else?" Emperor Changlong pressed.

"No," Song Siyao said firmly.

"Lies!" Emperor Changlong slammed his hand on the imperial table, his eyes blazing with anger, and roared, "You killed an entire village in Houwan Village, Pingyang County!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Song Siyao's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. "Your Majesty, I did not kill a single person during my disaster relief trip to Pingyang County. I wonder who is spreading rumors about me?"

"You still won't admit it?" Emperor Changlong's face darkened. "Some people witnessed you slaughtering them!"

"Who is it?" Song Siyao asked.

"Bring in the witness certificate." At Emperor Changlong's command, a guard led in a middle-aged man.

Song Siyao knew this person; he was a villager from Houwan Village named Ma Si.

"Tell me everything you know!" Emperor Changlong ordered.

“Princess Youfeng slaughtered all the villagers in Houwan Village. I was lucky enough to escape,” Ma Si said.

"Song Siyao, what else do you have to say?" Emperor Changlong asked angrily.

"Your Majesty, this is only Ma Si's side of the story. It cannot be used as evidence in court, much less as evidence to punish me."

Song Siyao looked at Ma Si, "Ma Si, who instructed you? Why are you framing me?!"

Ma Si looked at Song Siyao and said, "No one ordered me to do this. I didn't frame you. I saw you kill people with my own eyes. After you killed them, you set fire to the entire village!"

Song Siyao knew that she was now caught in the trap, and the elaborate scheme that had been laid before had now fallen on her.

The Emperor Changlong before her was no longer the emperor who trusted and supported her, so no matter how she explained, it was all in vain.

Ma Si was clearly acting under someone's orders, and given the current situation, he has no chance of recanting his testimony.

Since that's the case, why not turn the tables on them, immerse ourselves in the situation, and break through from there?

Song Siyao looked at Emperor Changlong and said, "Your Majesty, please give me a chance. I will definitely find out the truth."

"The truth? The truth is already clear, Song Siyao, hand over the imperial gold medal and the Demon-Slaying Sword!" Emperor Changlong shouted.

Song Siyao returned the gold medal and the Demon-Slaying Sword.

"Song Siyao abused his power to kill innocent people. His title is hereby revoked, he is demoted to a commoner, imprisoned in the imperial prison, and to be executed on a later date!" Emperor Changlong ordered.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent. Please believe me." Song Siyao pleaded, feigning panic.

"Take him away!" Emperor Changlong refused to say another word.

The guards stepped forward to arrest Song Siyao, but Song Siyao's face remained cold. "I can walk by myself!"

The guards dared not touch Song Siyao again.

Song Siyao walked in front, with the guards following behind. No one saw the coldness at the corner of her mouth.

After Song Siyao left the Imperial Study, a person emerged from behind the screen in the Imperial Study.

Emperor Changlong was extremely respectful to the man, "Master, I have already thrown Song Siyao into the imperial prison as you instructed!"
