Song Tangxue left quickly, but Meng Youyu was extremely worried.

She immediately spoke when she was alone with Song Tangxue.

"If His Highness the Crown Prince finds out about this, I'm afraid the two of you will start arguing again?"

"He's been busy lately. The reason I accepted the imperial edict alone without his company was because there were problems in the court."

Song Tangxue answered helplessly, which surprised Meng Youyu.

"Why didn't you tell me about something so important?"

"The matter of becoming an apprentice can only be put on hold for now. I need to take care of these patients first, and I can't help him with his side, so I'd rather not think about it too much."

Song Tangxue spoke with great seriousness, afraid that if she said it at the time, everyone would think that she needed to be taken care of, which would not be good.

Xie Qianzhong was still keeping in touch with his friends through letters, so although his guards hadn't found him, he was safe.

Meng Youyu felt a little uneasy, after all, this was a big deal, but she could only nod after listening.

"Then let's finish these matters as soon as possible and return as soon as possible, otherwise His Highness the Crown Prince will probably be even more worried."

Now that she is the Crown Princess, she must prioritize the Crown Prince in all matters.

However, as she spoke, Meng Youyu thought of Song Tangli and couldn't help but feel annoyed.

"But just thinking about her makes me feel unlucky!"

"The Spring Festival is just around the corner, we can't afford not to see each other."

Song Tangxue naturally understood who this referred to, but she calmly replied.

After saying that, she knew that she had suddenly left the mission and might be harassed by everyone when she returned.

However, Song Tangxue is not afraid at all now, and only wants to face it calmly.

Meng Youyu was about to say something more when a male voice suddenly came from behind her.

"I've made up my mind. Come over as soon as possible, or I'll regret it!"

Zhan Ming suddenly spoke up, but his voice was clearly tinged with dissatisfaction.

"Alright, you go ahead and go. I'll watch over things here for you."

Meng Youyu felt a little worried, but she could only answer.

Song Tangxue nodded and didn't say anything more, but quickly went to Zhan Ming's place.

She was actually a little nervous, but after arriving, she pretended to be calm and said...

"Didn't we say we should rest now and talk about it tomorrow?"

"Although we have only known each other for a short time, I can tell that you are a chivalrous and courageous person."

Zhan Ming did not answer Song Tangxue's question, but instead spoke to himself.

He said with a helpless smile, "You're right. If it were me today, you would help me too."

Judging from Zhan Ming's current state, it's clear he has already given up on his previous decision.

Song Tangxue naturally noticed this, but she sat quietly to the side without rushing to answer.

After thinking for a while, she finally spoke.

“Ajarn and this old man are not bad people.”

If he were truly a bad person, Song Tangxue would naturally not interfere, but she absolutely cannot allow Zhan Ming to be wrongfully killed.

He paused again, then brought up the Third Prince once more.

"The Third Prince holds an important position, yet he is willing to kill someone over a minor conflict and his own suspicions. This is something I strongly disagree with, and I will do everything in my power to stop him if I see it!"

Song Tangxue was always straightforward, and at this moment she made no attempt to hide anything, speaking her mind directly.

At that moment, Zhan Ming stood up and calmly nodded.

"I'll ruin my reputation with this plan, so I'll go and decline it from the Third Prince right now."

If he fails to complete the mission, it will naturally have a significant impact, but he can't worry about that now.

Zhan Ming felt that perhaps he should listen to his heart instead of becoming a numb killing machine.

Upon hearing this, Song Tangxue finally smiled knowingly, revealing a long-lost smile.

Congratulations! You've finally taken the first step!

This was the first time Zhan Ming had ever seen Song Tangxue smile like that, and he even felt his heart skip a beat for a moment...

Perhaps it was because of nervousness, or perhaps Zhan Ming was unwilling to say any more, afraid that he would change his mind.

Without uttering a word, he quickly jumped out of the window and left.

Song Tangxue was extremely surprised to see this, and even Meng Youyu heard the commotion and rushed over.

Seeing the window was already open, she immediately understood what was going on.

"It seems he was playing dumb just now; the effects of the drug have long since worn off, he just didn't leave..."

As Meng Youyu spoke, she even seemed a little scared.

Song Tangxue felt a pang of sadness. Zhan Ming was a pitiful person, and his current awkward personality was inseparable from his past experiences.

"He won't hurt us."

Finally, Song Tangxue said earnestly to Meng Youyu.

Meng Youyu was still somewhat apprehensive, but could only nod.

"Yes, I'm relieved to see you're alright today, but we should leave as soon as possible."

She brought up the matter of coming here today again, saying that the emperor of this court was unaware of their identities.

But if this becomes clear, it could cause trouble between several countries.

Song Tangxue naturally understood why she never wanted to reveal her identity.

She has always kept a low profile, and she continues to do so now.

"Don't worry, my identity is well concealed. Otherwise, the Third Prince wouldn't be so bold. You should go back quickly, and I'll leave with you after things are settled here."

Song Tangxue had some hesitation before, but now she was determined.

As she finished speaking, she became somewhat moved and even felt a pang of longing.

"I miss him too..."

"Seeing you suddenly so shy makes me want to change right away and let him see you later!"

Meng Youyu finally spoke up and joked, and the tense atmosphere from before disappeared.

However, it is indeed not suitable to stay now, Meng Youyu said, then shook her head.

"Alright, I'll be going now. Don't worry about things outside. Just take good care of the people here."

Song Tangxue simply smiled, nodded, and said nothing more.

Meng Youyu left quickly, and Song Tangxue carefully checked on Azan's condition early the next morning.

The old man next to him was extremely nervous, fearing that bad news would come.

However, after Song Tangxue returned her hand, she breathed a sigh of relief and said to the two of them.

"The previous poisons have all been absorbed, and now we are seeing results, slowly consuming the old poisons."

"That means it's a great success now, and it won't be long before Ajarn returns to normal!"

The old man was extremely excited and quickly spoke up happily.

Song Tangxue shook her head directly: "No, this is a problem that Ajarn has had for many years. It won't recover in a short time. It will take at least five or six years of recuperation."

Song Tangxue spoke her mind directly, which they could accept.
