The Emperor's heart is won, she sits on the Phoenix Throne! The Divine Physician's Eldest
Chapter 48 Three Men Waiting for Her
"Your subject is Song Siyao, daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei, and younger sister of Song Pingwei."
"Nonsense! Everyone in the capital knows that Miss Song is only three years old. How could she be a ghost doctor?"
Song Siyao looked at Emperor Changlong. She didn't understand what he meant. He had defended her so much outside, but now he was questioning her.
"Your Majesty, I do not know what happened, but all the evidence proves that I am the Ghost Doctor."
Song Siyao remained steadfast, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Miss Song, you are indeed a talented person. I just bestowed a jade pendant upon you. Even if you committed the crime of deceiving the emperor before, you can now use the jade pendant to save your life. I want you to tell the truth. What did you do to the real Miss Song?"
Emperor Changlong stared at Song Siyao, trying to find something on her face.
The emperor's majesty was awe-inspiring.
If it were someone with a weak heart, they would have been so frightened that they would have been incoherent.
However, Song Siyao remained calm and composed, and Emperor Changlong received no information whatsoever.
"Your Majesty, I have spoken the truth. If there is any falsehood in my words, I will leave it to Your Majesty to deal with me as you see fit."
Emperor Changlong stared at Song Siyao for a long time. Suddenly, the coldness on his face vanished, replaced by a satisfied expression. "Miss Song is indeed bold."
"Is Your Majesty testing me?" Song Siyao feigned surprise.
"Yes, congratulations. You have passed my test. You are courageous, skilled in medicine, resourceful, and know how to conduct yourself properly. Your parents have raised you very well." Emperor Changlong said with a kind expression.
"What does Your Majesty need me to do?" Song Siyao felt something was wrong when Emperor Changlong punished the Su family members. She felt that Emperor Changlong was using this as an excuse to make trouble. According to the rules, the Su family members should not be able to withstand such a severe punishment.
"Miss Song is indeed intelligent; she understands things very quickly." Emperor Changlong was very satisfied with Song Siyao.
"Please give your orders, Your Majesty." Song Siyao knew that she had been chosen by Emperor Changlong.
As the saying goes, serving a ruler is like serving a tiger, and that's absolutely true.
Emperor Changlong clearly needed her to do things, but he still had to consider and test her before using her.
If she were to be careless and offend Emperor Changlong, she would be in deep trouble.
"To be the sharpest sword in my hand!" Emperor Changlong stated his purpose.
"The Great Zhou Dynasty is full of talented people, why did the Emperor choose my daughter?" Song Siyao asked, puzzled.
"Because you have no one to rely on, I can be your greatest support." Emperor Changlong looked at Song Siyao, his eyes filled with ambition, murderous intent, ruthlessness, and determination.
While Song Siyao and Emperor Changlong were talking in the imperial study, the people from Cuiwei Palace began to leave one after another.
"Aunt," Su Qingshuang said, her eyes brimming with tears, looking at Consort Xian, "Uncle seems to dislike me anymore, what should I do?"
"Qingshuang, you need to grow up. He is first and foremost the Emperor, and only then your uncle," Consort Xian instructed. "Go back and reflect on your actions. Do not appear before the Emperor recently."
“Aunt, I will go back and beg Grandfather to plead with the Emperor on my behalf…”
"Shut up!" Consort Xian shouted. "Go back! Reflect on your actions!"
"Yes, Aunt." Su Qingshuang looked resentful, but had no choice but to obey. She wanted to ask her aunt why she didn't reflect on her actions, but she didn't dare to say it.
"Sister, I'm sorry you had to go through this today." The Empress came over to comfort Consort Xian, her smile gentle.
"I am not aggrieved. It is Your Majesty who is most aggrieved, as Your Majesty's birthday banquet was ruined today and Your Majesty cannot accompany Your Majesty tonight." Consort Xian said with a smile.
The Empress's smile remained unchanged, and she was dignified and proper. "Consort Jia has borne children for His Majesty, so it is only right that His Majesty accompanies her. As His Majesty's wife, I should be even more considerate of him. However, from now on, when Consort Xian sees Consort Jia again, she will have to call her 'elder sister'."
Consort Xian was more than ten years older than Consort Jia. Asking her to call Consort Jia "younger sister" would be like stabbing her in the heart and slapping her in the face.
The Empress felt a sudden sense of relief when she saw Consort Xian's face turn cold.
"Lan Zi, return to the palace. I still need to prepare a gift for Consort Jia."
She was often suppressed by Consort Xian, and today she finally got her revenge.
Consort Xian watched the Empress's departing figure, her eyes gleaming with cold light.
"Your Majesty, the Empress has gone too far!" the palace maid complained in a hollow voice.
"She's only being arrogant for once today. Let's see how long she can keep up this smugness!" Consort Xian said with disdain.
In the imperial harem, although she held the rank of concubine, she dared to sit on equal footing with the empress.
Moreover, she also had the power to assist in managing the six palaces.
Once she finishes copying the scriptures, and with a flick of her finger, the Emperor will surely still dote on her.
In terms of her childhood sweetheart relationship with the Emperor, no other woman in the harem could compare.
Wei Xin pushed Shen Pei towards the palace exit, with Yan Wei and Feng Bai standing on either side of him.
"Dr. Feng, when did you find out that Miss Song is your master?" Shen Pei asked.
“I had my suspicions when I first saw Miss Song. I confirmed her identity when I first saw her administer acupuncture to the prince. That acupuncture technique is something that only she knows in the whole world,” Feng Bai explained.
"I remember you told me you were some kind of senior?" Shen Pei raised an eyebrow.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. My master instructed me not to reveal her identity outside. If it weren't for the emergency, I wouldn't have said it today." Feng Bai was also forced to do so.
"I don't blame you." Shen Pei looked at Feng Bai and asked, "Didn't you know your master's true identity when you became his disciple?"
"I don't know." Feng Bai thought to himself, his master was hiding it very well. None of his fellow disciples knew that his master was the second young lady of the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion.
Yan Wei looked at Feng Bai with envy in his eyes. He couldn't acknowledge Feng Bai as his master yet, and he couldn't even acknowledge Feng Bai as his master.
The two had arrived at the palace gate while they were talking, but all three of them stopped at the same time, with no intention of getting into the carriage.
"Your Highness, please go ahead. I need to wait for my master," Feng Bai said.
"I have something to ask your master." Shen Pei didn't want to leave.
"You can leave now," Shen Pei and Feng Bai said in unison, looking at Yan Wei.
Yan Wei answered instinctively, "I'm not leaving either."
"Why isn't Young Master Yan leaving?" Feng Bai asked in confusion. Anyone with eyes could see that he and his master had something to say. It was understandable that Shen Pei, his master's patient, stayed, but what reason did Yan Wei have to stay?
Yan Wei said calmly...
