After the Imperial Advisor left, Song Tangxue said, "Why didn't you just tell him that I am the divine physician you brought from Yongfeng Kingdom?"

“Come with me. This is not a good place to talk.”

Song Tangxue arrived at Wen Sizhi's bedroom.

As expected of a prince, even his residence is different from ordinary dwellings; every piece of land under his feet is worth tens of thousands of taels of gold.

"Aren't you telling me now that only close relatives can poison my father, and asking me if I have anyone suitable?"

"You suspect the Imperial Advisor of poisoning you."

Wen Sizhi nodded. The Imperial Advisor had suddenly appeared in the Western Regions, and his father had valued him highly. The two often plotted things alone, without even knowing it from him, a prince.

“But that should be impossible. The Imperial Advisor is the person Father Emperor trusts the most. I believe in Father Emperor’s judgment.”

The word that cannot be escaped in this world is "belief." In her previous life, Song Tangxue had heard this word many times, but those who believed it without question all met tragic ends.

"The moment you began to doubt him, you already had the answer in your heart."

The Imperial Preceptor returned to his residence, where sandalwood incense was lit, and the smoke slowly blurred his face.

"Have you found out the identity of the palace maid next to Wen Sizhi?" The Imperial Advisor was not so easily convinced. He felt that the woman looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before.

"I haven't found it yet; it will take some more time."

This further proves that this person's identity is extraordinary. The Imperial Advisor has a force that specializes in intelligence gathering, and even they cannot find out that the woman must have a very important background.

"Continue the investigation, and send someone to keep an eye on Wen Sizhi's every move. Also, tell the imperial physicians to speed things up. I can't wait too long; the Emperor must die."

...

Song Tangxue stayed in the palace for a few more days and cured the Emperor of all the poison, but he was still in a coma. Other imperial physicians who came to examine him also found that his pulse was still irregular.

"Why is it that even though the poison in his body has been cured, my father is still unconscious?"

"Naturally, I added a powder to his body to suppress his pulse. He is conscious now, but he cannot truly wake up. Don't forget that there is someone in the entire Western Regions who is targeting him. If we don't find him, even if I can save him once, he will be framed again."

Winston has stopped smiling. When I first met him, he was someone who loved local snacks and could be happy all day just by seeing those strange and unusual things.

"Alright, thank you. I will send you back to Yongfeng Kingdom as soon as I tell you." From both a moral and logical standpoint, Wen Sizhi should not involve Song Tangxue in all of this.

She has done enough for the Western Regions.

Night falls.

The surrounding silence was somewhat strange. It was usually just as quiet, but at least there was the sound of palace maids walking around. Today, however, not a sound could be heard at all. Song Tangxue sat up, feeling that something bad was going to happen tonight.

Just as Song Tangxue heard footsteps stop at her bedroom door, she quickly lay back down on the bed and pretended to be asleep.

The door was opened gently, almost imperceptible unless one listened carefully. The person was quite cautious, pausing at the door for a moment before approaching Song Tangxue, who was not asleep. Finally, the person stopped by the bedside. Song Tangxue pretended to be fast asleep and turned over. After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the person finally made a move.

Song Tangxue gently lifted her eyelids, and just as the man's dagger was about to pierce her body, she rolled over and got up.

"Who are you?" The person who came was wearing a black veil, so her appearance could not be seen. However, judging from her figure, she should be a woman.

The man didn't say anything, and seeing that things were going badly, he quickly fled. Song Tangxue chased after him relentlessly, eventually trampling him away. In the scene where the woman was disappearing, it was clear that she possessed remarkable lightness skills and was a top-notch expert.

"Are you alright?" Wen Sizhi rushed over. He had naturally heard the commotion and was worried that Song Tangxue was in danger. Seeing the situation, he realized he was too late.

Song Tangxue shook her head and briefly recounted what had just happened. Wen Sizhi's expression turned serious.

"If I'm not mistaken, that woman should be from Whispering Pavilion."

Not only does Yongfeng Kingdom have its own power, but the Western Regions are the same. The Whispering Pavilion only recruits women. It is said that the pavilion master is a lovelorn woman who was hurt by a man and formed the organization in a fit of anger.

These women weren't the most skilled, but their lightness skill was unmatched in the world. As the saying goes, even if they couldn't win a fight, they could still escape.

The Whispering Pavilion does not belong to any of the Western Regions' forces and only obeys the orders of the Grand Preceptor. This operation must have been the Grand Preceptor's idea.

"I'm sorry to have dragged you into this. I insist on sending you back to Yongfeng Kingdom. It's too dangerous here." I had originally planned to send Song Tangxue back tomorrow, but given the current situation, we can't stay here for even a moment longer.

"It's alright. Her operation failed today, so she probably won't come back. I'll rest for the night and go back tomorrow."

Wen Sizhi suddenly regretted bringing Song Tangxue to the Western Regions. He couldn't even stand firm himself, let alone protect a woman.

The Imperial Advisor holds absolute power, and now that the Emperor is critically ill, he obeys only the Emperor's orders. Even the memorials that are usually sent to the Hall of Mental Cultivation are being secretly sent to the Imperial Advisor's residence.

Now he believes that the Imperial Advisor was the one who poisoned the Emperor. Once the Emperor falls, the Western Regions will naturally be his domain. But why would such a shrewd man as his father listen to the slander of one person and almost lose his life?

"We are friends, so there's no need to be so distant from now on. If you ever need my help, feel free to come to Yongfeng Kingdom to find me."

Wen Sizhi was taken aback for a moment, then laughed out loud. Song Tangxue was really interesting. She was indeed different from the women he had met before. If only she had never married and did not have someone she liked.

Winslow lowered his head, concealing his emotions at the end of the year. Their identities destined them to never be together, and she never believed a word of his words about being in love.

"Okay, you can rest now. I'll stay here and watch over you. I'll come over as soon as you call me."

Winston's back, as he turned away, seemed somewhat forlorn; he was still alone.

...

Big news came from Yongfeng Kingdom: the Crown Princess, who had disappeared for several days, suddenly appeared in the capital and swaggered back to the Crown Prince's residence, startling everyone. His Highness the Crown Prince had already returned to the residence, and upon hearing this news, they rushed over.

Everyone says that this Crown Princess is a reincarnation of a demon concubine; otherwise, how can you explain her disappearance for several days? No matter how others ask her, she remains silent, and the more she refuses to speak, the more suspicious they become.

Song Tangxue was comfortably in his palace at the moment, and just as he was about to take a good nap, His Highness the Crown Prince came over, so he had no choice but to get up reluctantly.
