"Thank you, Your Highness, for standing up for me." Song Tangxue bowed, but her eyes were unusually cold, devoid of joy or sorrow, only indifference.

These things are not worth her trouble. There is nothing in the entire Crown Prince's residence that is worth her attention and effort, except for two people she wants to get rid of as much as possible.

The eunuchs and palace maids were all dragged out, and the sounds of being beaten with sticks outside were deafening, mixed with screams of agony.

Those who offend Li Zhaoxian should not expect to leave the Crown Prince's residence alive.

Li Zhaoxian's face was ugly, his face was long and drawn out, like a horse's face, and the people serving him around him were so careful that they didn't dare to breathe loudly.

"Tang Xue, I have other matters to attend to today, so I won't keep you company." Li Zhaoxian tried his best to maintain his composure, hoping to escape as soon as possible.

This matter cannot be blamed on Song Tangxue, and she is also a victim. Li Zhaoxian can't find a reason to curse her even if he wants to.

Covered in excrement, it was hardly elegant.

"Yes, Your Highness." Song Tangxue thought about sending this human-shaped excrement away, and the two of them were unusually "in sync".

Seeing Li Zhaoxian flee in disarray, Song Tangxue curled her lips and turned to look at Xiao Xizi when she heard the sounds coming from outside.

Understanding Song Tangxue's probing, Xiao Xizi almost immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty, please understand that the reason I entered the palace was for my brother's illness. Since you are so generous with your money, I will naturally serve you wholeheartedly."

"Otherwise, who would want to be a monster who is neither male nor female!"

Xiao Xizi's words were filled with grief and indignation, clearly showing that not everyone can accept the idea of ​​being a eunuch.

"Let's ask Cuixi for some money." Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Song Tangxue finally softened and said it.

It is said that once bitten by a snake, one is afraid of a rope for ten years. Although she was betrayed, she still couldn't help but feel pity for these people.

Xiao Xizi looked up at her in disbelief, as if she had been hit by a huge pie: "Your Majesty means..."

"Get your brother's illness treated first. Many illnesses can't be delayed. By the time you save enough money, your brother might not live to see it again." Song Tangxue looked at the sewage on the stone steps with disgust, forgetting to leave a few people to clean up the area first.

"If the illness is difficult to treat, you can find a time to take me there. I am Xie Lingyi's disciple, and I am quite skilled." Song Tangxue moved further away and raised her handkerchief to cover her nose.

"Your Majesty's kindness is beyond my ability to repay. If anyone tries to harm you in the future, they will have to step over my dead body first!" Xiao Xizi kowtowed deeply in gratitude, his long, echoing words still resonating.

Song Tangxue picked at her ears, thinking, "It's too loud, Xiao Xizi."

It is said that men do not easily shed tears, and even if they lose two ounces of flesh, they are still grown men. Xiao Xizi is crying sincerely at this moment.

Helpless, Song Tangxue told him to get up first: "There's no one else in the palace."

Xiao Xizi immediately stopped crying, wiped away her tears, stood up, and very tactfully picked up the mop beside her: "This servant will go clean right away! I'll give you a spotless Chang Le Palace!"

Fortunately, the inner room hadn't been disturbed. All that was needed was to clean up the filth at the entrance. Pushing open the door and stepping inside, the food came into view.

There were only three or four small plates, all covered in a greenish hue. Xiao Xizi and Cui Xi cautiously looked at Song Tangxue and said, "This Crown Princess is too cruel. Is this even fit for human consumption?"

“Who says otherwise?” Xiao Xizi shook his head, looking troubled. “Even the dogs in the Crown Prince’s residence eat better than this.”

What do dogs eat?

"people."

Cui Xi sighed helplessly, "Then let's not eat it."

Xiao Xizi looked at her in shock: "So you were trying to steal the dog food just now?"

With no one else in Chang Le Palace, the master and servants spoke more casually. Song Tangxue relaxed and leaned against the soft couch: "Never mind her. You two go outside and buy some food. If they won't give us any, we'll buy it ourselves."

"Anyway, I have money." Song Tangxue had no intention of mistreating herself. If she were to live a second life and still be so cowardly and incompetent, afraid of this and that every day, and timid about everything, then what would be the point of living a second life?

Cui Xi and Xiao Xizi nodded in surprise. Xiao Xizi then went to get the money and delivered it to his family outside. He was overjoyed.

Song Tangxue leaned wearily against the chaise lounge, watching the sunset gradually descend outside, the orange-red light carrying the last warmth slowly disappearing through the window lattice.

Song Tangxue sighed softly. When would this kind of life end?

"Knock knock".

As Song Tangxue was gazing outside in a daze, she suddenly heard a knocking sound coming from the window. The familiar sound made her look up expectantly.

Xie Qianzhong, dressed in black, stood outside, smiling at him. The orange color added a touch of warmth to his appearance, making him seem less aloof.

"Why don't you come in?" Song Tangxue leaned closer to the window, their eyes meeting, both filled with sweetness. "And why do you always knock on the window?"

"I have something to do." Xie Qianzhong seemed to really have something to do. He leaned down and kissed her ear before leaving in a hurry: "I knocked on the window to let you know I was here. I didn't want to scare you."

Song Tangxue touched her rosy earlobe and watched the figure disappear in an instant, muttering softly, "Come back if you need anything."

He flirted with someone and then left, an irresponsible scumbag, ugh...

When Cuixi and Xiaoxizi returned, Song Tangxue's face was still flushed. Xiaoxizi asked with some concern, "Your Majesty, should we ask the imperial physician to come and see if she has a fever?"

Cui Xi kicked him: "Your Highness is a physician yourself, why bother to invite a physician from the Imperial Physician's Office? That's a quack."

Hearing them joke around, Song Tangxue's face quickly regained its color, and she waved her hand as the three of them finished their meal.

In the evening, a torrential rain fell on the capital, sweeping away the summer heat and turning it into a cool, misty rain that enveloped the entire city.

The next day, Song Tangli didn't cause any trouble. Her face was probably too busy to take care of itself, so as expected, she was able to put on some makeup and go out today, dragging Li Zhaoxian along.

Song Tangxue had calculated every step very cleverly so that she could get rid of Li Zhaoxian's torment.

Song Tangxue quite enjoyed this free and easy life, but the only downside was that Li Zhaoxian came again that evening.

Song Tangxue's smile vanished the moment Li Zhaoxian appeared, as if she were performing a smile-disappearing act. How could this person be so persistent?

With a light click of her tongue, Song Tangxue still got up to greet Li Zhaoxian. This was, after all, the Crown Prince's residence; she couldn't very well let her master kick her out.

Although she wanted to, she couldn't.

Song Tangxue gave a forced, insincere bow. Li Zhaoxian said "No need for formalities" and reached out to help her, but Song Tangxue dodged to the side.

"Is Tangxue still angry?" Li Zhaoxian didn't mind, withdrew his hand and looked at Song Tangxue with a smile, confidently finding a reason for Song Tangxue.
