It seemed to exist only faintly, drifting in the air.

Concealing the dark glint in her eyes, Song Tangli turned back and quietly pulled Xuesong and Chen Shu aside for a few words. Both of them wore expressions of joy.

Song Tangli ran to find Song Tangxue, bowed, and said, "Sister, what happened just now was my fault. I overstepped my bounds. Please don't take it to heart."

Song Tangxue looked Song Tangli up and down, wondering what she was planning to do this time.

"Oh, I won't forgive you." Song Tangxue didn't care what Princess Tingyu would think and didn't give Song Tangli any face at all.

Song Tangli clenched her hands at her sides: "Sister, can you come with me somewhere? I really want to make amends, please give me a chance."

Noticing Princess Tingyu's gaze, and asking if she needed help, Song Tangxue shook her head: "Okay, I'll go with you."

She wanted to see what other tricks Song Tangli could pull. The trip to Emerald Manor had almost ruined her reputation, but she still wouldn't give up.

Watching Song Tangli lead the way with a cold eye, Song Tangxue strolled leisurely, admiring the delicate flowers. Song Tangli didn't want to urge her, so she said, "Sister, I'm really uneasy. Please come with me quickly."

Song Tangxue stopped in her tracks, staring at her without blinking: "Song Tangli, there's no one else here. What exactly do you want to do?"

Song Tangli blinked innocently: "Sister, have you misunderstood? I really want to apologize."

Song Tangxue sneered, "Believe you have sincerity? I'd rather believe the sun will rise in the west tomorrow." She then followed Song Tangli to the place she wanted to go.

From afar, Song Tangxue spotted a cluster of flowers, one after another, with delicate and charming pale yellow blossoms blooming beautifully before her eyes.

This flower is called Seven Stars in a Row. The seven stars are because it has seven small petals, and the pearls refer to the pearls that are secretly formed in the womb.

To put it bluntly, it's a drug that arouses desire. When you get close, a decadent fragrance wafts to your nose. This flower doesn't rely on its scent, but rather on skin contact to trigger its effects.

Once you get even a little bit involved, those with weak willpower will lose all rationality and will only crave men. If they have already been with a man, it's even worse; they will endlessly recall that feeling and turn into a slut.

In her past life, Song Tangxue had seen it before. Song Tangli had used the same trick to harm another of the Crown Prince's consorts. Was she now setting her sights on her?

Song Tangxue slightly closed her eyelids, pretending not to know anything, and followed Song Tangli. When they saw the flower bushes, Song Tangli quickened her pace. When she reached the flower bushes, Song Tangli stopped and turned her head with a sinister smile.

She wanted to push Song Tangxue when she was off guard, but Song Tangxue seemed to have expected it and dodged to the side. She couldn't avoid it in time and fell into the flower bushes with a look of horror in her eyes.

A tingling sensation slowly crept up her body from the point of contact, and her face flushed. Song Tangli struggled to stay conscious and tried to get out, but one foot kicked her shoulder, sending her flying back.

Song Tangli, her eyes blurry with sleep, looked down at the person who was watching her writhe and crawl among the flowers. She felt a surge of anger and despair, but was utterly helpless: "Sister, please pull me out, dear sister..."

Song Tangxue looked at her struggle arrogantly: "What were you trying to do just now, little sister?" Her cold and ruthless eyes were chilling: "Little sister, you've probably asked the wrong person. You should be asking your Crown Prince."

Song Tangli was terrified, her limbs twisting and struggling to crawl out of the sea of ​​waves. If it were someone with no experience, it wouldn't be so bad, but it would only make them feel unbearably hot...

The heat gradually seeped into her mind, and Song Tangli unconsciously began to murmur, "Hot, so hot... Crown Prince Brother..."

Seeing that Song Tangli had already taken effect from the drug, Song Tangxue left with satisfaction and returned to the banquet hall in the front yard via a side path.

At this moment, Chen Shu and Xue Song estimated the time and exchanged a glance.

Xuesong couldn't wait to speak: "I still think Miss Song's move was extremely brilliant. I want to go and discuss it with Miss Song. Are there any of you sisters who would like to come along?"

They didn't really want to get involved with someone like Xuesong, but they had just seen Song Tangxue walking with Princess Tingyu, so finding Song Tangxue was the same as finding Princess Tingyu.

If he catches Princess Tingyu's eye, it would likely be helpful to the family's achievements.

“I also think I shouldn’t have been so impulsive just now. Sisters, let’s go take a look at the flowers in the back garden. Since we’re already here, we should broaden our horizons.” Chen Shu stood up and picked up where Xuesong left off.

Those present thought this made sense, and seeing that the two had admitted their mistake, they softened their stance somewhat. The group stood up and, with their maids, walked in a grand procession towards the back garden.

As Xuesong and Chen Shu moved with the crowd, their hearts pounded. Soon, Song Tangxue would be utterly disgraced, and all the humiliation they had suffered today would be returned to them in full!

"Where are we going? Can you take me with you?" Song Tangxue led Haitang out of the archway leading to the back garden, startling everyone.

Xuesong and Chen Shu turned deathly pale.

Princess Tingyu also came back and stood next to Song Tangxue: "It's really boring to admire flowers alone. I couldn't find you in the back garden. I didn't expect you to come back to the front garden."

Song Tangxue smiled and said, "My sister said she needed to see me. She found a place and told me she was going to pick up a gift, but then she disappeared. I searched everywhere for her but couldn't find her, so I came here."

Song Tangxue looked at everyone innocently: "Speaking of which, have you seen her?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads. Hu Feifei said, "She went out with you and hasn't come back."

Song Tangxue frowned: "That's a bit troublesome. Could you please help me search? I'm all alone and not very strong."

Xuesong and Chen Shu were already frightened. If Song Tangxue hadn't fallen into the flower bushes, then where was Song Tangli?

Their minds were a complete blank, but their intuition told them that they should stop this group from searching for Song Tangli.

But they had no legitimate reason, so they could only follow the crowd to the back garden with heavy hearts and their steps were deliberate.

Song Tangxue led everyone to a small pavilion: "This is it."

Princess Tingyu noticed a path leading elsewhere: "Did they go somewhere? Have you looked for them?"

Song Tangxue shook her head, and a group of people headed in that direction again. Before they even got close, they heard a woman's moan.

"Ah, it's so hot, ugh..."

The shy young lady blushed and stammered, falling to the back of the line.

"Who is this, so reckless?" Princess Tingyu did not stop walking, but Xuesong and Chen Shu were dumbfounded. They had the most contact with Song Tangli, and this voice was clearly Song Tangli's.

Looking at Song Tangxue, who was walking ahead unharmed with hurried steps and a worried expression, the two felt it was a bit surreal. Shouldn't it be Song Tangxue?

As they got closer, the voice became soft and muffled, a suppressed tone: "Ah... Crown Prince Brother..."

Everyone was shocked. How dare this person covet the current Crown Prince? Princess Tingyu knew the inside story. She glanced at Song Tangxue and vaguely guessed who was in the flower bushes.
