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

"Consort Xian, who told you that Miss Song was planning to assassinate me?" Emperor Changlong asked coldly.

"Your Majesty, Miss Song has disobeyed the palace rules and openly brought weapons into the palace. She must be plotting something!" Consort Xian argued illogically.

"What do you mean by violating the palace rules? This was permitted by me." Emperor Changlong glanced at Song Siyao.

Song Siyao was not surprised at all; she knew that Emperor Changlong would protect her.

"Your Majesty, only those who have rendered outstanding service to the Great Zhou are allowed to bring weapons into the palace. Song Siyao has not rendered any service, so she is not qualified to bring weapons into the palace," Consort Xian pressed on.

"Whether she is qualified or not is up to me!" Emperor Changlong emphasized.

Consort Xian persisted, "Your Majesty, this is an ancestral rule. If you violate it, I fear..."

"Consort Xian!" Emperor Changlong's gaze turned cold. "I don't need you to teach me how to act!"

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten what you said back then? You told me that if you did anything against ancestral rules or against common sense, I must speak up to stop you."

Consort Xian was referring to the events that occurred when she and Emperor Changlong were childhood sweethearts. At that time, the two had a deep and affectionate relationship, and Emperor Changlong naturally favored Consort Xian.

"Consort Xian, the promise I'm making to you is to make you a true consort Xian, not to let you use your power to suppress me. If you can't do that, I don't mind taking the title of 'virtuous' from your head." Emperor Changlong looked at Consort Xian, his eyes filled with disappointment and indifference.

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me."

The string in Consort Xian's heart snapped. Over the years, Emperor Changlong had become increasingly indifferent to her, but she never expected that he would want to strip her of her title for Song Siyao's sake.

Emperor Changlong stopped looking at Consort Xian, glanced around at everyone, and continued, "Miss Song has rendered meritorious service in saving Consort Jia and the young prince. She is hereby rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold, fifty bolts of silk, and five chests of gold and silver jewelry."

Then, he took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Song Siyao, saying, "Miss Song, in the future, with this jade pendant, I can grant you one request."

He emphasized again, "It's anything!"

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your great favor." Song Siyao felt that the reward given by Emperor Changlong was too generous.

Gold, silk, and gold and silver jewelry are all understandable, but this jade pendant can redeem anything, which is equivalent to a get-out-of-jail-free card, but it has many more functions than a get-out-of-jail-free card.

After all, the "immunity card" can only prevent death; it cannot be used for anything else.

“Uncle,” Su Qingshuang spoke again, “Miss Song the Second is not human.”

"Su Qingshuang, what are you trying to say now?" Emperor Changlong addressed her by her given name, his displeasure evident in his words.

“Uncle, just now Miss Song said that she saved Consort Jia and the little prince by disembowelment. But as everyone knows, no one in the entire Kyushu has ever heard of disembowelment. This is an evil technique.”

Su Qingshuang still had some brains, but not many. She continued, "Everyone knows that before Miss Song left the General's Mansion, she was a fool. Suddenly, her illness was cured, and she became smart. Her medical skills were even better than Doctor Feng's, which is a bit unbelievable."

"In conclusion, Qing Shuang believes that Miss Song is not human, but a monster! She must be possessed by a monster. Uncle, Qing Shuang requests that Song Siyao be burned to death to prevent her from harming more people."

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, there is no one in the entire world who knows this art of disembowelment. It is unheard of. This person must not be the real Miss Song. Please reconsider, Your Majesty," Imperial Physician Su added.

The Imperial Physician Su was the cousin of Grand Tutor Su, and thus Su Qingshuang's uncle.

"Your Majesty, may I ask Academician Su a question?" Feng Bai spoke up.

"Yes," Emperor Changlong nodded.

"Academician Su, how do your medical skills compare to mine?" Feng Bai asked.

Academician Su's expression was rather unpleasant.

When Feng Bai first opened his clinic in the capital, he encountered a difficult patient, but he eventually cured him.

After learning of this news, Dean Su came to challenge Feng Bai to a medical contest, because he had also treated this patient, but had not been able to cure him.

He has always been competitive and likes to be the best in everything, especially in the field of medicine.

Any imperial physician with even a modicum of qualifications in the Imperial Medical Academy was suppressed by him.

Later, he lost a medical contest with Feng Bai. Fortunately, Feng Bai had no intention of becoming a royal physician and only practiced medicine among the common people, so it did not have a significant impact on his status, and the conflict between the two did not escalate too much.

Upon hearing Feng Bai's question, Dean Su was reminded of the loss in the competition. He felt embarrassed and his tone became quite unpleasant.

“Feng Bai, you only won that competition by a narrow margin. There’s no need for you to show off. Besides, the medical skills contest between you and me has nothing to do with Miss Song Er.”

Feng Bai smiled faintly, "How could there be no connection? You're not even as good as my disciple, how could you possibly compare to my master?"

"What did you say?" Dean Su had already heard it, but he didn't believe what he heard.

“I said, Miss Song is my master. You are not as skilled as her, so you slander my master.”

After Feng Bai finished speaking, he moved to Song Siyao's front, knelt down, and bowed, saying, "Disciple Feng Bai greets Master."

Song Siyao was completely bewildered. She believed that Feng Bai was telling the truth, as Feng Bai had recognized her acupuncture technique at a glance. However, she couldn't remember anything about the past.

She's only been here for a short time, so when did she take Feng Bai as her disciple?

"Miss Song, are you really the master of Doctor Feng?" Emperor Changlong asked expectantly, his eyes brimming with undisguised joy.

"Your Majesty, I don't remember," Song Siyao replied truthfully.

“Your Majesty, Feng Bai is lying. If he were truly Miss Song’s disciple, how could Miss Song not remember him?” Imperial Physician Su questioned.

“Your Majesty, the reason my master doesn’t remember me is because she has amnesia,” Feng Bai explained.

His master not only forgot him, but also for his other fellow disciples.

"Dr. Feng, when did you become Miss Song's apprentice?" Emperor Changlong asked solemnly.

“Four years ago,” Feng Bai replied.

"Four years ago, Miss Song was not even twelve years old. How could she know medicine? And how could she be your master? Doctor Feng can't even come up with a good reason for lying!" Meng Zhanting, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

“You’re right. When Miss Song became my master, she was indeed less than twelve years old.”

Feng Bai took out a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Song Siyao. "Master, this is the jade pendant you gave me when I became your disciple. Can you remember anything from it?"

Song Siyao took the jade pendant and examined it carefully. She saw that the character "肆" was engraved on it. "The characters and carving on this jade pendant are indeed from my hand."

She also sculpted many things in modern times, and she could tell at a glance whether they were sculpted by her own hands.

When did she carve this jade pendant?

When exactly did she arrive here?
