Chapter 145 The Real Culprit is Him
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Song Siyao and Shen Pei walking side by side.
"Ning'an? You're awake? Are you feeling unwell?" Emperor Changlong was overjoyed, but his eyes also held a hint of worry.
"I am well, Your Majesty. Thank you for your concern." Although the Heavenly Heart Poison in Song Siyao's body has been cured, she still has arrow wounds on her body.
However, this arrow wound was nothing to her.
"It's wonderful that you've woken up; it's truly a blessing from heaven for our Great Zhou!" Emperor Changlong was overjoyed.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say," Song Siyao said.
Emperor Changlong glanced at Wang Fu, who waved his hand, dismissing all the eunuchs and guards.
Only Song Siyao, Shen Pei, Emperor Changlong, and three assassins remained in the hall.
Song Siyao continued, "Your Majesty, their target in this assassination attempt was me."
"What?" Emperor Changlong was full of surprise.
The three assassins, who had been expressionless, all turned to look at Song Siyao upon hearing her words.
When Emperor Changlong saw the expressions on the three assassins' faces, he knew that what Song Siyao said was true.
Go to the palace and assassinate Song Siyao in front of him.
What is the purpose of the person behind this?
Why go to such lengths?
"What are your thoughts, Ning'an?" Emperor Changlong knew that Song Siyao must already have a plan.
"Your Majesty, announce to the public that the three of them are dead, and we have not been able to get any information out of them," Song Siyao said.
"Are you going to let the murderer go?" Emperor Changlong asked.
“No,” Song Siyao said. “Your Majesty, even if the three of them were to identify the murderer, the murderer would have already prepared a way out, and in the end, he would not be implicated, and he could not be convicted.”
Emperor Changlong looked at Song Siyao; this young girl was remarkably composed.
No, Song Siyao isn't that kind of person.
Song Siyao is decisive and ruthless, and she always seeks revenge. She is definitely not the kind of person who drags things out.
She was plotting something big, something even bigger than her life.
"Someone come here!" Emperor Changlong shouted, and Wang Fu immediately entered. "Your Majesty, this servant is here."
"These three men are dead. Take them away and don't let anyone know," Emperor Changlong ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The three assassins were clearly still alive, but Emperor Changlong claimed they were dead.
Wang Fu instantly understood Emperor Changlong's meaning: he wanted to suppress the matter.
When only Song Siyao, Shen Pei, and Emperor Changlong remained in the hall, Emperor Changlong asked Song Siyao, "Ning'an, do you know that doing this will harm yourself? They failed to kill you this time, but they might use even more ruthless methods next time. They dared to break into the palace and kill you in front of me. What other methods wouldn't they use?"
Emperor Changlong's tone seemed reproachful, but it was actually caring, which moved Song Siyao deeply.
However, she had her own plans.
"Your Majesty, I am already in the game. Since I am a pawn, I shall play my greatest role. As long as the enemy is not defeated, the pawn will never retreat!"
Song Siyao's attitude was firm.
She doesn't act unless absolutely necessary, but when she does, she ensures her opponent suffers a horrible death.
"Ning'an, I hope that in everything you do, you will put your own life first. I don't want anything to happen to you."
"My daughter obeys the order."
However, Song Siyao had long since lost control of her own destiny.
"Ning An, do you think the murderer is him?" Emperor Changlong asked.
"This is what I think, Your Majesty. You can give it a try." No one saw Song Siyao arrive just now.
Therefore, apart from the people who were just inside, no one knew that she had woken up.
"I will go first, you follow later."
Emperor Changlong got up and left the room, going to the side hall where he saw Yan Wei still interrogating people.
"Mr. Yan, is there anything unusual?" Emperor Changlong asked.
Yan Wei quickly stood up, cupped his hands, and replied to Emperor Changlong, "Your Majesty, I have not found anything unusual at the moment."
"No need to investigate, Princess Ning'an, she..." Emperor Changlong hesitated.
Yan Wei asked anxiously, "What happened to Princess Ning'an?"
"He won't wake up." Emperor Changlong looked heartbroken, his eyes not on Yan Wei, but looking in another direction.
He saw Grand Tutor Su, who breathed a long sigh of relief.
Yan Wei swayed, his face pale.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, good news!" Wang Fu ran over, "Princess Ning'an has woken up."
At the same time, Song Siyao and Shen Pei walked gracefully into everyone's view.
"Princess Ning'an, you're awake?" Yan Wei hurried over, looking at Song Siyao with a face full of surprise.
Song Siyao nodded slightly.
"Princess Ning'an, you've really come back to life! That's wonderful!" Huo Yexing was overjoyed.
“Sister Song!” Jiang Hexia grabbed Song Siyao’s hand and said with a smile, “I knew you would be alright.”
Feng Bai came over and said, "Congratulations on your safe return, Master."
When Song Siyao woke up, some were happy while others were sad.
Grand Tutor Su looked at Song Siyao, his initial disbelief turning into gritted teeth.
Emperor Changlong took in Su Taifu's expression and understood that Song Siyao's guess was indeed correct.
However, such speculation alone is insufficient; empirical evidence is required.
Therefore, the investigation into tonight's assassination must continue, and evidence must be preserved for future prosecution.
"Prince Ling," Emperor Changlong instructed.
"My son is here."
"You are fully responsible for tonight's assassination attempt. Mr. Yan will assist you in investigating it thoroughly. I want the truth!" Emperor Changlong said.
"Yes, Father."
Having a suspect makes the investigation much faster.
Song Siyao was still injured, so Emperor Changlong allowed her to leave the palace and go home to rest.
With Shen Pei in charge of palace affairs, Emperor Changlong was at ease, as was Song Siyao.
Song Siyao left the palace and returned to the Zhenbei Marquis's residence, going directly to find Granny Lin.
She brought Granny Lin to the prison.
The two men stood at the cell door, looking at the woman lying on the ground inside.
After several months, Madam Song had become so thin that she was almost unrecognizable.
Song Siyao opened the cell door and walked straight in, kicking Old Madam Song with her leg.
"Ouch!"
Old Madam Song cried out in pain, opened her eyes, and sat up. Still half asleep, she cursed, "You damn rat, trying to bite me again! I'll beat you to death!"
She became vulgar and uncouth, completely unlike the lady she once was.
She rolled over and discovered it wasn't a rat, but Song Siyao. Enraged, she lunged at him, yelling, "Song Siyao, you've finally come! Do you know how long I've waited for this day? I want to tear you apart! You're the one who ruined me! I'm going to kill you!"
Before Old Madam Song could pounce, Song Siyao kicked her directly, yelling, "You're asking for it!"
Madam Song fell backward to the ground.
