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

Wang Fu and Lan Zi accepted the order and left quickly.

"Your Majesty, why did you ask Miss Song for help when Consort Jia was having a difficult childbirth? Could it be that she is a midwife?" the Empress asked curiously.

Emperor Changlong did not want to reveal that Song Siyao was treating Shen Pei's leg, so he casually said, "Don't worry about it."

He also thought of Feng Bai, but firstly, Feng Bai was outside the palace and might not be able to make it in time; secondly, Feng Bai couldn't cure Shen Pei's leg, but Song Siyao could, and he believed that Song Siyao's medical skills were better than Feng Bai's.

However, delivering a baby is different from treating Shen Pei's leg, and he wasn't sure if Song Siyao was suitable, so he didn't stop the Empress from asking Feng Bai for help.

The Empress was displeased by Emperor Changlong's rebuke, but she maintained a respectful demeanor and softly replied, "Yes."

Wang Fu arrived at Qiwu Palace and shouted loudly, "Where is Miss Song the Second?"

Song Siyao stood up. "What is it, Eunuch Wang?"

"Consort Jia is having a difficult childbirth, and the Emperor has ordered you to go there immediately," Wang Fu said anxiously.

Upon hearing this, Song Siyao lifted her skirt and quickly walked forward, while Wang Fu ran to keep up with her.

If he hadn't needed to lead the way, Song Siyao would have moved so fast that he wouldn't even see her back.

After the two left, everyone in Qiwu Palace was bewildered. They didn't understand why Emperor Changlong had summoned Song Siyao over when Consort Jia was having a difficult childbirth.

Shen Pei knew what was going on, and he instructed Wei Xin, "Go, follow them."

"Yes, Your Highness." Wei Xin pushed Shen Pei, and Yan Wei followed.

Seeing this, the others followed suit.

When Song Siyao arrived at Cuiwei Palace, he saw Emperor Changlong looking as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Your Majesty, what is the current condition of Consort Jia?" Song Siyao asked.

"They say the young prince has already developed one leg." Emperor Changlong asked Song Siyao, "Second Miss Song, the imperial physicians are all helpless. Do you have any solutions?"

“Yes, Your Majesty, I have a request,” Song Siyao said.

"Tell me, as long as you can save Consort Jia and her child, I will agree to anything you ask." Hope ignited in Emperor Changlong's eyes. Although he had many sons, he still longed for the arrival of this son.

Moreover, Consort Jia is currently very much in his heart.

The leg presentation indicates a difficult labor and requires immediate surgery. Song Siyao did not want to be disturbed. "Your Majesty, I need someone that Consort Jia can trust. Also, once I go in, no one is allowed to enter."

"Tonghao, you go inside with Miss Song," Emperor Changlong ordered. "Tell everyone inside to come out!"

"Miss Song, do you know medicine? Inside are Consort Jia and the young prince. Can you bear this responsibility?"

Consort Xian stared at Song Siyao. Song Siyao was too prominent today, even overshadowing Su Qingshuang, which displeased her.

"Does Consort Xian not trust the Emperor's decision?" Song Siyao asked rhetorically.

Emperor Changlong looked at Consort Xian with a somewhat cold gaze.

Consort Xian gave an awkward smile and quickly pledged her loyalty to Emperor Changlong, saying, "Your Majesty's decisions are all trusted." Then she dared not speak further.

Song Siyao followed Tonghao inside, and the people inside came out immediately afterward.

She walked to Consort Jia's bedside and saw that Consort Jia was pale, covered in sweat, and barely breathing.

Given the amount of bleeding Jiafei is currently experiencing, she should have stopped breathing long ago. Her strong will to live and her exceptional willpower have sustained her.

"Your Highness, I'm here to save you. Relax, take a deep breath, and I'll ensure your safety and that of your child."

Song Siyao held Jiafei's hand and took out a golden needle from the Soul-Capturing Bracelet, inserting it into her acupoints.

In an instant, Jiafei felt her heavy body become light, her breathing became smooth, and her eyelids were no longer so heavy.

The will to survive in her eyes became even stronger.

Song Siyao then said to Tonghao, "Do as I say in a moment. No matter what I do, you must not make a sound."

Tonghao had heard of Song Siyao's name, but had never met her.

She didn't trust Song Siyao at first either.

But seeing how Song Siyao's single needle had completely changed Consort Jia's condition, she trusted Song Siyao completely and nodded quickly.

Song Siyao took out surgical tools and medicines from the Soul-Capturing Bracelet again, and then began to perform a cesarean section.

She had already used gold needles to control Consort Jia's pain sensation, so Consort Jia felt no pain at all.

While Song Siyao was concentrating on the surgery, Feng Bai had already arrived at Cuiwei Palace.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, Physician Feng has arrived," Lan Zi reported.

"This humble subject greets Your Majesty and Your Majesty the Empress." Feng Bai had also been to the palace before and knew Emperor Changlong and the Empress.

"No need for formalities," said Emperor Changlong.

"Dr. Feng, Consort Jia is having a difficult childbirth and needs your help. However, Miss Song has already gone in." The Empress's voice was gentle. "Dr. Feng, I'm sorry to have troubled you."

"Your Majesty is too kind," Feng Bai said, bowing.

Time passed slowly, and the room remained quiet, but the people outside couldn't help but start talking.

"Wasn't Miss Song the Second blind before? How does she know medicine?"

"She can also play the piano, so it's not surprising that she knows medicine."

"It's not surprising that she knows medicine, but can her medical skills be better than those of the imperial physicians?"

"Is he just bragging?"

"This is an outrageous boast! What if... then we'll be doomed!"

……

Listening to the discussions, Su Qingshuang remembered that she had been reprimanded by Emperor Changlong earlier because of Song Siyao, and thus, she felt a desire for revenge.

She looked at Feng Bai and asked, "Dr. Feng, how many years of medical training does it take before you dare to deliver babies on your own?"

“Everyone has different comprehension and learning abilities, so there is no specific time limit,” Feng Bai replied.

"No matter how talented someone is, it would take at least a year and a half, right?" Su Qingshuang continued to ask.

"More or less," said Doctor Feng.

Su Qingshuang gave a cold laugh and raised her voice, "As everyone knows, Miss Song was a fool six months ago. How could she possibly know medicine?"

“Miss Su, Miss Song the Second is not stupid!” Feng Bai’s face turned cold.

“I didn’t scold her. Everyone knows whether she was stupid before. If she really knew medicine, why didn’t she go to save her mother when she was seriously ill?” Su Qingshuang asked.

Everyone was silent.

Feng Bai couldn't figure it out either, but he knew that Song Siyao must have some unspeakable difficulties.

Su Qingshuang then looked at Meng Zhanting, "Vice Commander Meng, Miss Song was your husband before, so you should know best whether she is skilled in medicine or not. Why don't you tell everyone whether Miss Song's medical skills are better than those of the imperial physicians?"

Meng Zhanting stated truthfully, "Song Siyao has absolutely no medical skills!"

If Song Siyao knew medicine, she should have treated his mother directly back then; he wouldn't have needed to seek out doctors from all over the country.

Moreover, when the wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei was ill, Song Siyao went back to see her, but she did not save her mother.

Therefore, he firmly believed that Song Siyao was not skilled in medicine.

"Your Majesty, it's so quiet inside, and with Vice Commander Meng saying this, could it be that Miss Song the Second..." The Empress hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

Emperor Changlong's gaze was firm. "Do you think I'm a fool?"

"Uncle, Qing Shuang knows you admire Miss Song, but this is a matter of life and death. I humbly request that you allow Physician Feng to go in and take a look." Su Qing Shuang was dignified and proper, and did not hesitate to kneel down before Emperor Changlong.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to consider the sake of Consort Jia and the young prince, and let Doctor Feng in. Miss Song is indeed unreliable; perhaps she doesn't even know medicine and is just showing off." Consort Xian knelt down and remonstrated.

"Your Majesty, please allow Physician Feng to enter and save Consort Jia and the young prince." The other concubines also knelt down.

The concubines all knelt down, and naturally, the others did not dare to stand and followed suit.

Emperor Changlong remained unmoved, his gaze unwavering as he stared intently at the room.

The entire Cuiwei Palace seemed shrouded in a dark haze, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Wow! Wow wow!

Just then, the cry of a baby came from inside the house, loud and clear, reaching straight to the sky.
