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

"Mother, what are you going to do now?" Emperor Changlong immediately put on a stern face when he saw the Empress Dowager.

Song Siyao could recognize at a glance that the previous fake emperor was not him, but the Empress Dowager, as his birth mother, did not recognize him immediately.

Or perhaps the Empress Dowager recognized him, but because of Song Siyao, she didn't confirm his identity to everyone immediately. With national affairs at hand, the Empress Dowager valued her own personal interests more than his.

He felt very uncomfortable.

Now the Empress Dowager is causing trouble for Song Siyao again.

“Your Majesty, I know you value Song Siyao, but have you considered this: what if Song Siyao commits a crime in the future, and you imprison her in the Heavenly Prison, but she easily gets out and even has someone else take her place in the Heavenly Prison? In this way, no matter what she does in the future, she can get away with it.”

The Empress Dowager argued illogically, "Your Majesty, I believe that Song Siyao's prison break should be punished, and severely punished at that!"

Emperor Changlong looked at the Empress Dowager and said in a light tone, "What you think doesn't count."

The Empress Dowager gritted her teeth, "Emperor, I am your biological mother. Would I possibly harm you?"

"Empress Dowager, you are getting old. I think it would be best if you stayed in Cining Palace to enjoy your remaining years as before. Don't go out and cause trouble, lest everyone be unhappy." Emperor Changlong's tone was harsh and showed no mercy.

"You!" The Empress Dowager pointed at Emperor Changlong, her face extremely ugly.

"Guards, escort the Empress Dowager back to the palace!" Emperor Changlong ordered.

The Empress Dowager stared intently at Emperor Changlong, and after a long while, she uttered a sentence in a chillingly cold voice, "Emperor, I am your mother!"

Emperor Changlong dismissed the idea, saying, "You should be grateful that you are my mother!"

The Empress Dowager looked disappointed upon hearing this.

Of course she cared about Emperor Changlong, after all, he was her biological son.

However, she was the Empress Dowager, the most honored woman in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and her status destined her to be unable to be an ordinary mother.

She stopped talking and turned to leave.

Her gaze swept over Song Siyao, filled with intense hatred.

She would never allow her son, whom she had raised with her own hands, to value an outsider more than she did.

"Youfeng, you may return," Emperor Changlong said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I take my leave." Song Siyao departed.

She had only taken a few steps after leaving the Moon Palace when she encountered the Empress Dowager.

"Song Siyao!" The Empress Dowager called out to Song Siyao.

"Your subject is here," Song Siyao replied, neither humble nor arrogant.

"The emperor cannot protect you forever. One day, you will fall into my hands." The Empress Dowager's eyes were fierce as she coldly threatened Song Siyao.

Song Siyao remained calm, looking at the Empress Dowager as if she were looking at flowers and plants, completely ignoring her.

"Your Majesty, if it weren't for the two times I saved you, how would you have the opportunity to stand before me and flaunt your power?"

"You..." The Empress Dowager's face turned ashen with anger.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. If you get sick from anger, I will have to save you. In that case, you will owe me a favor."

Song Siyao spoke the most vicious words in the gentlest voice, which made the Empress Dowager sway with anger.

"Your Majesty, you've heard the story of Mr. Dongguo and the wolf, haven't you? I'm not that kind-hearted Mr. Dongguo. If the wolf dares to bite me, I'll kill it on sight!"

After finishing her sentence, Song Siyao turned and left, not giving the Empress Dowager another glance.

The Empress Dowager was so angry that she trembled all over, her face turned pale, and she almost fainted.

"She's just a princess from another family, yet she dares to be so arrogant! Song Siyao, let's see how long you can keep up this arrogance!"

The Empress Dowager looked at Wujing and said, "Go and summon Jiang Yu to the palace to see me!"

"Yes, Queen Mother."

When Wujing left the palace, Song Siyao had already boarded a carriage and returned to the Zhenbei Marquis's residence.

The truth came out: Song Siyao was innocent, and therefore, there was no punishment for her.

Upon arriving at the gate of the Zhenbei Marquis's residence, Song Siyao alighted from the carriage and saw Hongshao and Yuxiang waiting for her at the gate.

"Welcome home, Princess."

The crowd knelt down to pay their respects, looking at Song Siyao with smiles on their faces.

"Get up quickly." Song Siyao smiled faintly, "You've all worked hard these past few days."

"It's no trouble at all. The princess's safe return is more important than anything else," Hong Shao said.

"Princess, you've lost weight. What would you like to eat? I'll make it for you." Yu Xiang said with a look of concern.

“You’re a great cook, I love everything you make,” Song Siyao said.

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Yu Xiang left with a smile.

"Princess, there's new information." Cang Yue looked at Song Siyao with a serious expression.

"Let's go inside and talk," Song Siyao said.

Upon arriving at the study, Cang Yue handed Song Siyao the message from Tianji Pavilion.

Song Siyao unfolded it and took a look, her expression becoming solemn.

"Princess, we've received the news, and the palace should have received it too. What do we do now?" Cang Yue asked.

"Disperse the people first. I need the latest news. Also, gather everyone and go there in advance to prepare," Song Siyao said.

“Princess, what if the Emperor hadn’t sent you this time?” Cang Yue asked.

After all, the current Emperor Changlong is not the same as before, and no one knows what he is thinking.

With Consort Yue around, she could influence Emperor Changlong's thinking at any time.

“It can only be me.” Song Siyao’s gaze was firm. “Even if the Emperor has other ideas, I will make him choose only me.”

"I will make the arrangements immediately."

After Cang Yue left, Hong Shao brought tea to Song Siyao. "Princess, you've just rested, are you leaving again?"

Song Si nodded.

"I thought that with the death of Prince Ping, the capital would finally be at peace. I never expected that one wave would subside only for another to rise." Hong Shao looked distressed, feeling sorry for Song Siyao.

Her princess never stopped working for the Great Zhou Dynasty.

“Prince Ping is dead, but his story isn’t over yet,” Song Siyao asked. “Do you remember the man in black wearing a bamboo hat that we encountered before?”

“This servant remembers,” Hongshao replied.

“The fake emperor is dead, Prince Ping is dead, and the man in black has disappeared. There are no clues about him.” Song Siyao frowned slightly.

"Princess, what do you mean?" Hongshao asked, puzzled.

“That person is the real mastermind. Whether it’s Prince Ping or the fake emperor, they are all just his puppets,” Song Siyao said.

"Princess, this person is hiding so well, what do you plan to do?" Hong Shao asked.

"Let's wait and see. I disrupted his plans, and he won't be satisfied. He'll definitely make another move, and he'll eventually slip up."

While Song Siyao and Hongshao were discussing this, Jiang Yu had already entered the palace.

Meanwhile, in the Moon Palace.

"Your Majesty, something has happened at the border!" Eunuch Wang had returned and reported to Emperor Changlong.

"What is it?" Emperor Changlong was comforting Consort Yue, and the two were having a private conversation.

Eunuch Wang delivered the urgent letter, delivered over 800 li, to Emperor Changlong.

Emperor Changlong took it and, upon seeing it, his expression changed drastically. He immediately gave the order…
