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

"Who dares!"

"Wait a minute!"

As soon as the first voice fell, two other voices rang out simultaneously.

The former is Shen Pei.

The latter was Emperor Changlong.

All eyes turned to the two of them. It was understandable that Emperor Changlong wanted to protect Song Siyao, after all, Song Siyao was the only one left in the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion.

If *** were to actually kill Song Siyao in front of Emperor Changlong, not only would Emperor Changlong lose face, but he would also be ashamed before the soldiers of the world.

In the future, which soldier would be willing to risk their life for the Great Zhou? After all, if they sacrificed themselves for the country, the safety of their only surviving family member would not be guaranteed, especially in front of the emperor.

But why would Shen Pei protect Song Siyao?

Shen Pei was known as an iceberg, appearing cold and detached, as if nothing or no one in the world could arouse his interest.

It's important to understand that standing on the opposite side of *** will never end well.

With both legs injured, Shen Pei is practically useless. Given his current situation, provoking the authorities would only bring him no advantage.

His gaze turned cold and sharp as he shifted from Shen Pei to Emperor Changlong, a cold smile playing on his lips. "Brother, what do you want to say?"

"Miss Song is innocent. Don't drag her into the grudges of the previous generation." Emperor Changlong said sternly, "You bastard, I have already tolerated you enough. Don't push your luck! Miss Song is the only bloodline of the Marquis of Zhenbei. If you kill her, you will disgrace me and make me a laughingstock!"

There was another reason he didn't say: Shen Pei's entire hope for standing up in the future rested on Song Siyao.

This is his proudest son, and he absolutely cannot spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

*** did not respond to Emperor Changlong's words, but his expression became even more ferocious.

She looked at Shen Pei, "Prince Ling, were you threatening me just now?"

Shen Pei's gaze was like a thousand-year-old icy poison. "You can interpret it that way."

*** laughed and said sarcastically, "Prince Ling, no matter how crippled you are, you still have royal blood flowing in your veins. How could you possibly take a fancy to a divorced woman?"

"***, she is the only living daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei, and the only sister of General Pingwei and the others. How can you humiliate her like this? Have you forgotten that if it weren't for the Marquis of Zhenbei repelling the enemy, would you have been able to return to the Great Zhou and stand here swaggering around?"

The past events that Shen Pei brought up were like stabbing *** in the heart.

*** flew into a rage, pointing at Shen Pei, "You..."

Shen Pei interrupted her directly, continuing, "Miss Song and the Meng family are estranged. It's not that the Meng family doesn't want her; it's that she doesn't care about the Meng family. Her departure is because the Meng family is blind and doesn't know how to cherish her. You are also a woman; do you know how difficult it is for women to live in this world because of the shackles of reputation? Yet you use such vile words as 'discarded woman' to humiliate her. Do you deserve to be a princess? Do you deserve to have millions of men of my Great Zhou guarding the borders and protecting her? After you returned to the Great Zhou, did anyone use your shameful past to curse you? Do unto others as you would have them do unto you!"

"You...you...!!" *** trembled with rage. "Shen Pei, you've got some nerve! Going against your own aunt for the sake of an outsider, is that it? I'll show you how I'll deal with her today!"

"***If you want to touch her, ask my 100,000 soldiers if they agree!" Shen Pei was filled with murderous intent; he was enraged.

Song Siyao looked at Shen Pei and gestured to him with her eyes, indicating that he didn't need to fight against the government for her sake, and that she could handle it herself.

Shen Pei gave her a reassuring look; he would protect Song Siyao at all costs.

For Song Siyan, for his own leg, and even more so for the countless soldiers on the frontier.

He proved to them that they protected the Great Zhou with their lives, and he would protect their families with his own.

"Good, good, good!" *** She didn't expect Shen Pei to use his military power to protect Song Siyao. She didn't intend to kill Song Siyao today, she just wanted to humiliate her. The hatred she had for the Marquis of Zhenbei over the years could only be relieved by repeatedly torturing and humiliating his family.

"Brother, this is the fine son you have raised! He dares to rebel and kill his own aunt!"

She complained to Emperor Changlong, hoping that he would reprimand Shen Pei and then Shen Pei would apologize to her, so that she could back down gracefully without losing too much face.

However, Emperor Changlong's opening remark was, "Haven't you done enough acts of insubordination?"

***I was speechless.

Emperor Changlong continued, "Huizhen, you can leave now, and I can pretend nothing happened."

"What if I don't?" *** sneered, making a final struggle.

"Guards, take that woman out and make her reflect on her actions at the Princess's residence. She is forbidden from entering the palace for a month!"

At Emperor Changlong's command, the guards quickly stepped forward, saying, "***, please."

***Knowing that she couldn't humiliate Song Siyao today, she knew that continuing the stalemate would only make things worse for her.

She flicked her sleeve and said angrily, "This princess can walk by herself!" Then she looked up at Emperor Changlong and said, "Brother, remember this, you will always owe me!"

Emperor Changlong remained silent.

*** glanced at Shen Pei, then at Song Siyao, a devilish smile spreading across his face, a smile full of ruthlessness and scheming.

There's plenty of time ahead, Song Siyao. You'd better prepare to pay off your parents' debts. We'll play this game slowly, and I'll play you to death!

As soon as *** left, Qiwu Palace suddenly fell silent, and this sudden silence seemed unusually eerie.

Old Madam Song was still lying on the ground, her old knees almost broken from kneeling.

Originally, I thought I could use *** to kill Song Siyao, but things didn't go as planned.

With so many eyes staring at her, she couldn't just stand up and sit back down on her own.

She didn't dare to breathe loudly, hoping the banquet would end soon so she could suffer less.

Emperor Changlong's gaze fell on Old Madam Song, then looked at the Empress, who immediately understood.

“Guards, Song Heshi has spoken recklessly and behaved improperly before the Emperor. She shall be given five strokes of the cane and thrown out of the palace. She shall never be allowed to enter the palace again.”

The Empress showed no mercy. She understood that Old Madam Song had been using her to deal with Song Siyao. She was already being lenient by not beheading Old Madam Song on the spot for daring to scheme against her.

"Your Majesty, spare me! I'm innocent! I was only trying to save lives..."

"Take her away!" The Empress didn't want to hear her excuses.

The guards came up and immediately took Old Madam Song away.

Madam Song was filled with remorse. Originally, she wanted to use the Empress Dowager and the Empress to deal with Song Siyao, but she didn't expect to lose so much and get herself involved.

Suddenly, a mournful sound rang out...
