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

"well-done."

A cold and indifferent voice poured out from under the black bamboo hat, instantly chilling the entire imperial study.

"Thank you for the compliment, Master." Emperor Changlong smiled obsequiously, his face devoid of any imperial majesty.

"Be a good emperor, and you will not be treated unfairly," said the man in the black hat.

"Yes, Master." Emperor Changlong asked, "Master, when will Song Siyao be executed?"

"The best time is three days before Prince Ling returns to the capital."

Song Siyao is deeply loved by the people, and killing her too hastily could easily arouse public anger.

We must give the people a buffer period.

Let the people see Song Siyao's true colors and realize that she is truly an utterly wicked person.

Shen Pei was ordered by Emperor Changlong to leave the capital to carry out a mission, and according to the timeline, he should be back in a few days.

If Shen Pei were here, he would definitely retaliate if they killed Song Siyao, which might cause further complications.

Killing Song Siyao is imperative; no unforeseen circumstances can be tolerated.

"Yes, Master. This time, we will definitely make sure Song Siyao dies!" Emperor Changlong's eyes were fierce.

Night fell.

Heaven Prison.

“Princess.” Cang Yue appeared in front of Song Siyao. “It’s all over the place now. People are saying that you killed innocent people and harmed the common folk while carrying out your mission. You slaughtered an entire village. Now the people in the capital are all cursing you.”

"First, ruin my reputation, make the people hate me, use rumors and gossip, and when they really kill me, the people will probably applaud. Their intentions are extremely vicious!" Song Siyao's eyes gleamed coldly in the night.

"Princess, what should we do next?" Cang Yue asked.

Last night, Song Siyao met Emperor Changlong in the Imperial Study, and she told Cang Yue and the others about it after she returned.

"Did you bring the person?" Song Siyao asked.

"I brought it." Cang Yue glanced at the person behind him, who stepped forward and bowed to Song Siyao, "This subordinate, Lian Hu, greets the princess."

“Not bad, it’s so realistic it’s indistinguishable from the real thing. They definitely won’t be able to tell the difference.” Song Siyao looked at Lianhu Lake as if she were looking at a mirror.

Lian Hu and Song Siyao look exactly alike, of course, only superficially.

However, people can only see the surface.

“Princess, this is called giving them a taste of their own medicine.” Lian Hu’s expression was exactly the same as Song Siyao’s when he spoke.

"Lianhu, you must be careful here in my place," Song Siyao instructed.

They created a fake Emperor Changlong, so she created a fake Song Siyao to play along with them.

"Don't worry, Princess, I'll definitely have them completely fooled," Lian Hu said with a smile.

"We're leaving." After giving instructions to Lianhu, Song Siyao left the prison with Cang Yue.

They thought that locking Song Siyao in the imperial prison would solve the problem once and for all.

Little did they know, how could such a small prison possibly contain Song Siyao?

"Has anyone found the whereabouts of the true emperor?" Song Siyao asked Cangwu.

The best way to break this deadlock is to find the real Emperor Changlong.

"We're still investigating, but we've already got some leads," Cang Yue replied. "According to the clues I've obtained, the Emperor is still in the palace. However, the palace is too big, and we don't know where the Emperor is."

“Then let’s go to the palace to look for it.” Song Siyao looked at Cang Yue and said, “I need the layout map of the palace.”

She wanted to see where in the palace would be a suitable place to hide people.

"I brought it." Cang Yue took out a map of the palace from his bosom and handed it to Song Siyao.

Song Siyao took a look at the map and pointed to several locations, saying, "Focus on finding these places."

"Yes, princess."

Song Siyao led Cang Yue into the palace and searched for the locations on the map one by one.

Three hours later.

"Princess, it's getting light. Should we retreat now?" Cang Yue reminded her.

“There’s one last place. We must race against time. The sooner we find the Emperor, the less danger we’ll be in,” Song Siyao said.

"Yes." Cang Yue followed Song Siyao to an abandoned room, where they discovered a hidden compartment and, following the secret passage, found an underground palace.

The underground palace was dimly lit by candlelight, but people could still be seen.

"Princess, there are people ahead," Cang Yue said, pointing ahead.

Song Siyao looked in the direction Cang Yue was pointing and saw a person.

This person stood with his hands behind his back, his back straight. Even just seeing his back, one could sense that he was different from others.

Even from just his back, Song Siyao recognized him.

Song Siyao knelt on one knee, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I, Song Siyao, am late in coming to your rescue. Please forgive me."

The person turned around...
