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

All eyes were on Song Siyao.

Today, Song Siyao wore a white dress with blue accents on the cuffs and hem. She wore a brooch in front, featuring a pale pink rose and several small, shiny pearls.

The earrings are made of jade tassels, and the hairpin is made of jade.

Compared to the other wealthy young ladies present, Song Siyao was dressed extremely simply.

But the moment she stood there, she seemed to radiate light, dazzling the entire audience.

"Dressed so seductively, I wonder who she's trying to seduce." The one mocking Song Siyao was Yang Minjing, the daughter of the Vice Minister of Revenue.

She and Su Qingshuang were close. When Qingyun Academy held the painting competition last time, she even spoke up for Su Qingshuang and recommended Song Siyao.

"It's obvious who you're trying to seduce," Su Qingshuang said disdainfully.

"Miss Yang, is Sister Song dressed as flamboyantly as you? Look at you, wearing five or six colors from head to toe, like a peacock spreading its tail feathers. Who are you trying to impress?" Jiang Hexia, who was sitting at the next table, immediately retorted when she heard the two of them.

Yang Minjing's face turned green instantly. Jiang Hexia actually dared to call her a peacock.

"You! You!" Yang Minjing pointed at Jiang Hexia, so angry that she couldn't speak.

Su Qingshuang immediately chimed in, "Miss Jiang, Song Siyao is Song Siyao. No matter how much you fawn over her, she is not Song Siyan. Song Siyan is gone. He is dead, his body is gone! What a pity, the youngest general of the Great Zhou, what use is he? He still died a terrible death!"

A cold smile played on her lips, like a sharp blade piercing Jiang Hexia's heart.

Song Siyan is dead!

No bones left!

There's no going back!

Even after two years, Jiang Hexia still burst into tears and broke down instantly when she heard these words again.

She stood there, speechless.

Su Qingshuang looked at Yang Minjing and said with a smile, "See, strike the snake at its vital spot, and when you poke someone, you poke their heart so hard they can't get up!"

Every word of their conversation reached Song Siyao's ears, and her eyes instantly turned frosty.

She said to Shen Pei, "I'm going now."

Shen Pei also heard what Su Qingshuang and the others said. These words not only struck a chord with Jiang Hexia, but also with him.

Song Siyan was the light in his life.

How could he allow anyone to insult, slander, or bully his light?

Even though the light could no longer reach him.

"Calm down, let me handle this." Shen Pei reassured Song Siyao, worried that she might misjudge the situation and ruin Su Qingshuang.

Song Siyao understood what he meant and smiled, "Don't worry, I understand."

After she finished speaking, she walked straight towards Su Qingshuang.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were on her.

When Su Qingshuang saw Song Siyao approaching her, she was still unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

After all, she and Song Siyao were so far apart just now, how could Song Siyao possibly have heard what she was saying?

"Song Siyao, what are you doing?" Su Qingshuang asked before Song Siyao could speak.

"Sister Song..." Jiang Hexia cried even harder when she saw Song Siyao.

She wanted to tell Song Siyao that Su Qingshuang and the others had just insulted her.

Song Siyao glanced at her, signaling her to relax.

She calmed down.

Song Siyao looked at Su Qingshuang with gentle eyes, but those who knew her knew that this was the prelude to a real storm.

Without saying a word, she raised her hand and slapped Su Qingshuang across the face.

In an instant, Qiwu Palace was filled with commotion.

Not everyone heard what Su Qingshuang had just said, so they didn't understand why Song Siyao started hitting people as soon as she arrived, especially the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor's family and the niece of the Consort Xian.

"Song Siyao, are you crazy? How dare you hit me!" Su Qingshuang was no pushover; she grabbed the cup in front of her and smashed it at Song Siyao.

Song Si easily caught the cup with a flick of his wrist, then slammed it down in front of Su Qing Shuang. "You insulted and cursed the heroes who sacrificed themselves to protect the Great Zhou. Hitting you is too lenient!"

Su Qingshuang's expression changed; she hadn't expected that Song Siyao had overheard what she said.

"Song Siyan is already dead, am I wrong?"

Su Qingshuang looked at Song Siyao mockingly, "Song Siyao, you're a jinx! Your whole family is dead, how come you're the only one still alive? Did you bring them all down with your bad luck? The person you should hit the most is yourself! If I were you, I'd just go and die with them!"

They were all dead—her father, her brother…

Why did she survive alone?

This is also what Song Siyao can't understand.

I asked Hongshao, but she didn't know either.

In that instant, Song Siyao's heart felt as if it were being torn apart, as if pierced by a thousand arrows!

Why did she survive the same war?

Hongshao looked at Song Siyao's deathly pale face. She knew that Su Qingshuang's words had struck a nerve with Song Siyao's guilt, self-blame, doubt, and pain...

So she looked at Su Qingshuang and said angrily, "Miss Su, you've gone too far! Your mother is dead, why don't you die with her?"

Su Qingshuang's mother died when she was very young.

"You bastard! How dare you insult my mother! I'll kill you!" Su Qing Shuang roared in fury.

"The Emperor is here, the Queen is here!"

At this moment, Wang Fu's sharp voice rang out.
