After a day of recuperation, Song Tangxue's health finally improved considerably. During this time, Li Zhaoxian did not visit her even once, which infuriated Xie Qianzhong. He could not feel at ease leaving Tangxue with him.

It was getting late, and it might be inappropriate for Xie Qianzhong to stay any longer: "Tang Xue, I'll be leaving now. If anything happens, be sure to send someone to inform me."

Song Tangxue got out of bed and walked around. Suddenly she remembered that Cuixi was still locked in the woodshed. As soon as she stepped out of the room, she saw Li Zhaoxian and Song Tangli rushing towards her.

She quickly returned to bed, feigning illness, and upon seeing the Crown Prince's arrival, naturally stepped forward to greet him: "Your Highness..."

Li Zhaoxian quickly helped her up: "Didn't you say you only caught a cold? How come you're still not getting better after a day?"

Song Tangxue's current appearance did not seem like a simple cold, so Li Zhaoxian quickly summoned the imperial physician to take a look. Song Tangxue naturally refused to let them come, otherwise they would discover that her health had improved.

"It's alright, it's just that I'm very worried about the whereabouts of my maid Cuixi. She has been by my side for many years..." Li Zhaoxian frowned. What kind of time is this to worry about a mere maid? "Alright, you should rest well. You still have the mind to care about others. I don't think your illness is very serious."

Song Tangli was secretly very pleased with herself. She was now gradually rising in status because of the child in her belly. Now, the Crown Prince looked down on everyone except her. He wouldn't have come if he hadn't begged the Crown Prince to come and see his sister.

"Your Highness, my sister is so ill, I'm really worried about her. I haven't been able to eat all day because of this worry..."

Li Zhaoxian quickly helped her to sit down to the side. Anyone who didn't know better would think that Song Tangli was the owner of this house.

"Alright, since the princess has said so, then I will have the imperial physician examine her and prescribe some medicine. I'm sure she'll recover after taking a few doses."

What kind of lovey-dovey drama are these two putting on in front of her? The child in Song Tangli's belly isn't his, yet the two of them are still being affectionate. Suddenly, Song Tangxue noticed a masked man standing behind Song Tangli, who matched someone from her past life: Fang Jing.

It seems the plot is progressing. Song Tangli is now connected with the people of the Dark Gate. Before long, she will personally step into the Dark Gate as her savior and issue a mission to hunt her down.

Despite being an assassin organization that is ruthless, the Dark Gate values ​​loyalty above all else, especially to their saviors. At the time, the Dark Gate dispatched a large number of people, and Song Tangxue managed to escape several times by sheer luck, which is how she survived.

However, the people of the Dark Gate never give up once they accept a mission, so she was constantly on the run.

Now he would never let such a thing happen again. Didn't Song Tangli want to use Wen Sizhi to infiltrate the secret gate? Then he would make sure she didn't get her wish!

Several imperial physicians stood in a line to take Song Tangxue's pulse. Their brows were furrowed, as if they had encountered some difficult or complicated illness: "Your Highness, this..."

Li Zhaoxian subconsciously pulled Song Tangli behind him, afraid that her illness would be passed on to his child: "Speak freely."

"The Crown Princess is indeed only feeling unwell due to a cold. Because she did not take her medicine in time yesterday, her condition has worsened. However, I have prescribed some medicine for her, and she will recover after taking it."

Fortunately, Xie Qianzhong gave her a pill before leaving. Once she took it, her internal energy would become disordered, and she would catch a cold. Song Tangxue heard footsteps and quickly took the pill.

Even if Hua Tuo were alive today, he wouldn't be able to find any clues.

"However... there is one ingredient in the prescription called Chu Ling, which is extremely rare. It grows on the edge of a cliff. The Empress's illness has dragged on for a long time, and only Chu Ling can cure it."

Li Zhaoxian frowned and immediately sent several guards to search for her. It wasn't that Song Tangxue was so important to him, but it would be difficult to explain if she died in the Crown Prince's residence.

"Your Highness, my belly..." Song Tangli clutched her stomach and squatted down. Li Zhaoxian panicked. "Imperial Physician, quickly take a look at the Crown Princess!"

Seeing that they weren't paying attention to her, Song Tangxue stopped pretending to be sick, and Yao watched this scene with amusement.

The imperial physicians examined her pulse, then looked at each other, speechless. Li Zhaoxian grew anxious: "What is wrong with the Crown Princess?!"

The imperial physicians examined her pulse again, their expressions still grave. This made Li Zhaoxian extremely nervous; Ah Li was carrying his own flesh and blood, and he absolutely could not afford any mistakes.

"If you don't speak, I don't mind disposing of you all and finding some physicians who can talk." The physicians knelt on the ground one after another. "Your Highness, please forgive us. It's not that we don't want to talk, but the Crown Princess's pulse is really strange and quite disordered, as if she has recently ingested something wrong."

Li Zhaoxian summoned the person in charge of the Crown Prince's kitchen, and soon, Song Tangxue's room was filled with kneeling people. The room was not big to begin with, and this made it even more crowded.

"Tell me, what has the Crown Princess eaten these past few days?"

An old woman stepped forward, trembling: "Your Highness the Crown Princess didn't eat anything. If we really have to say something... Yesterday, the Crown Consort sent over a pastry, which I tested for poison. There was nothing in it, so it shouldn't be this."

Song Tangxue was watching the show when it suddenly came to her, and she immediately stopped laughing and continued to pretend to be weak.

Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly noticed the smile that Song Tangli hadn't yet faded from her lips, and instantly realized that this was Song Tangli deliberately framing her. She hadn't given Song Tangli any pastries yesterday.

"Your Highness, I caught a cold yesterday, how could I have had time to deliver pastries to the Crown Princess?" Li Zhaoxian ignored her explanation, impatiently waving her hand and saying to the old woman, "What exactly happened? Falsely accusing the Crown Princess is a capital offense!"

The old woman was so frightened that she knelt down again: "Even if you gave me ten thousand lives, I wouldn't dare to lie to the Crown Princess! Yesterday, it was Cui Xi, the maidservant by the Crown Princess's side, who delivered the pastries, saying that the Crown Princess had sent them."

Li Zhaoxian yanked Song Tangxue off the bed, completely disregarding the fact that she was still ill.

Song Tangxue felt a sharp pain in her scalp and held a grudge. He had treated her like this in public without any explanation, and had even believed a maid's words. The chill in her heart intensified.

"You better tell me honestly whether this really happened!" Li Zhaoxian exuded an imposing aura, and everyone dared not even breathe loudly.

"No." She wouldn't admit to anything that Song Tangxue didn't do. She was eager to stay as far away from Song Tangxue as possible, so naturally she wouldn't offer to send her any pastries. Song Tangli's way of turning right and wrong upside down was truly ingenious.
