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

Shen Xuan came out of Jiang Xiang's study and encountered Jiang Yu on his way to the front hall.

The two met face to face, and the atmosphere was indescribably awkward.

"Greetings, Your Highness." Jiang Yu bowed to Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan nodded slightly, "Yu'er, we're about to get married, you don't need to be so polite with me."

Song Siyao and Shen Pei set their wedding date for the ninth day of the fourth month. In order to compete with Song Siyao, Jiang Yu also set her wedding date for the ninth day of the fourth month.

Looking into Shen Xuan's gentle eyes and faint smile, Jiang Yu was momentarily lost in thought. "When did Your Highness arrive?"

"It's been a while, and I was thinking it was getting late, so I didn't go looking for you. I didn't expect to run into you here." Shen Xuan looked at Jiang Yu and spoke softly, his expression showing how much he loved her.

The same is true.

Shen Xuan loves Jiang Yu; the whole capital knows it.

Although it wasn't as doting as Shen Pei's affection for Song Siyao, it was still a deep and meaningful relationship that made countless women in the capital envious.

Jiang lowered her eyes slightly to hide her guilt, and when she raised her eyes again, her eyes were clear. "Something happened at the academy today, so I came back a little late."

"You've worked hard, my child. After we get married, you won't have to be a teacher at the academy anymore. You can quietly be my queen," Shen Xuan said.

"Your Highness, I enjoy being a teacher, as it allows me to educate and nurture people." Jiang Yu looked up, her eyes filled with eagerness.

Song Siyao didn't say she would give up her own affairs after getting married, so why would she give them up?

Moreover, Song Siyao is now the Marquis of Protectorate. In the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, since its founding, Song Siyao has been the only female marquis.

Such glory is enough to be recorded in history and enough for her descendants to boast about for eternity.

She cannot lose to Song Siyao; she must exert all her strength to contribute to the Great Zhou and surpass Song Siyao.

She can't compete with fighting on the battlefield, but if she's not good at martial arts, she can be good at literature.

She wanted the world to know that Song Siyao's martial skills could bring peace to the country, and her literary skills could govern it.

"Okay, as long as Yu'er likes it, I will support you." After Shen Xuan finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Yu's expression and saw the effect he wanted. Jiang Yu was full of emotion.

"Your Highness, you are so kind." Faced with Shen Xuan's sincerity and gentleness, Jiang Yu felt extremely guilty.

Indeed, deep affection is the most effective.

Shen Xuan tried to emulate Shen Pei's deep affection, and his reputation grew. Because of his affection, the entire Prime Minister's mansion treated him with utmost respect, and Prime Minister Jiang used all his resources and connections to help him.

"Yu'er, I'm leaving now. Take good care of yourself and I'll come to see you another day."

"Respectfully seeing off Your Highness," Jiang Yu said.

Shen Xuan patted Jiang Yu's head, smiled indulgently, and then turned and left.

Jiang Yu stared at Shen Xuan's back until it disappeared from sight before she left.

Shen Xuan left the Prime Minister's residence, got into the carriage, and the carriage headed towards the Prince Li's residence.

“Your Highness, you are being far too respectful to Prime Minister Jiang. You are giving him too much face,” said Shen Xuan’s personal guard.

“That’s called catering to their preferences,” Shen Xuan said.

He knew that Prime Minister Jiang liked to control others, so he pretended to be in control of him.

He is now blind, and Jiang Xiang is his cane.

However, the first thing a blind person does after regaining their sight is to discard their cane.

He now hopes that Jiang Xiang's plan will succeed. Once the plan succeeds, Song Siyao will disappear completely, and Shen Pei will definitely collapse. He wants to completely eliminate Shen Pei, this stumbling block.

Shen Jing had made mistakes, and in Emperor Changlong's mind, he was a person with a stain on his record.

Shen Xuan had no backing and was no match for him.

Therefore, as long as Shen Pei is eliminated, the throne of the Great Zhou will surely be his.

The schemed Song Siyao is now writing a medical textbook under the lamp.

Feng Bai taught all the courses in the second half of last year, but she will personally teach the courses in the first half of this year. Her first batch of students will graduate in July.

Song Siyao finally rested late at night, but soon after falling asleep, she was struck by a nightmare.

In my dream, swords clashed, cries of agony filled the air, and then flames soared into the sky...

The next day.

The first gentle breeze of dawn brought the warmth of the morning light, and Song Siyao slowly opened her eyes.

Hearing her get up, Hongshao outside the door pushed the door open and came in. "My lord, you're awake. Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

"Hongshao, get me an undergarment," Song Siyao instructed.

"Yes, Lord Marquis." Hongshao took the undergarment and handed it to Song Siyao. Seeing that Song Siyao's undergarment was soaked, she looked distressed. "Lord Marquis, you had another nightmare."

Song Si nodded.

She hadn't had this nightmare in a long time.

I can't sleep well every time I have this nightmare.

“My lord, Cang Yue just came over and said he has something to report to you,” Hong Shao said.

"Let him in."

After Song Siyao finished dressing, Cang Yue came into the room.

"My lord." Cang Yue bowed to Song Siyao.

Song Siyao asked, "What is it?"

"The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion has found the culprit who destroyed the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion back then," Cang Yue replied.

"Who?" Song Si unconsciously clenched his fist.

Cang Yue looked at Song Siyao and slowly said, "It is the Emperor."

"Impossible!" Song Siyao denied without the slightest hesitation.

“My lord, all the evidence that the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion has found points to the Emperor. As you know, the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion never makes mistakes,” Cang Yue said.

Emperor Changlong was not only a monarch to Song Siyao, but also a benefactor.

They have shown me great kindness and support.

A talent like Song Siyao can be valued anywhere.

However, with Emperor Changlong, she could do as she pleased and fully display her talents and ambitions.

He instructed Song Siyao to maintain and trust her more than a subject and ruler, like father and daughter, but even more than father and daughter.

"Give me the evidence." Song Siyao still didn't believe it.

Cang Yue handed the evidence to Song Siyao, who said, "You can go out now."

"Yes, Lord Marquis." Cang Yue frowned; he needed to double-check.

Song Siyao locked herself in the room and repeatedly examined the evidence.

She never doubted the strength of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion; they were people she had personally trained.

But at this moment, she desperately hoped that the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion would make a mistake.

She recalled that on the way back from the border, Shen Pei had told her about Emperor Changlong's order for Shen Pei to search for the orphaned son of the Duke of Protectorate.

At that time, Shen Pei told her that he had not found the orphan of the Duke of Protectorate, and Emperor Changlong was filled with regret.

wrong!

Everything is wrong!

……

In the end, Song Siyao chose to trust herself; she trusted her own judgment.

Three days later.

Emperor Changlong held a victory celebration banquet in the palace.

As the commander-in-chief of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Song Siyao is the number one person today. She is accompanying Emperor Changlong in the Imperial Study, and the two of them will be attending together.

"Lord Protector of the Nation, now that your position is higher, the responsibilities on your shoulders are heavier, and the pressure has also increased, hasn't it?" Emperor Changlong looked at Song Siyao with a kind smile.

“I feel no pressure. No matter what position I hold, I will never change my original intention,” Song Siyao said.

Emperor Changlong nodded, looking pleased.

"Your Majesty, Lord Marquis, the time has come." At this moment, Eunuch Wang came in to report.
