She seemed much more at ease now, her previous seriousness gone, replaced by a more composed demeanor.

Perhaps they've already figured it out, which is why they acted this way.

Xie Qianzhong saw all of this, but this time he didn't say anything. Instead, he quickly walked forward and followed Song Tangxue's steps.

Just as Song Tangxue was preparing to face everything calmly and was pondering how to speak, her hand was suddenly enveloped by a force.

Xie Qianzhong grabbed Song Tangxue directly, without saying a word, and walked outside while looking straight ahead.

Actions speak louder than words; everything is understood without being said.

Because of this, Song Tangxue felt even stronger and more capable of handling everything!

Empress Cheng visited Song Tangli first. Although the Crown Prince was not her biological son, she was still his legal mother, and she had to do everything she could to ensure his safety.

"Her Majesty the Empress has arrived!"

Inside the room, a eunuch spoke loudly.

The palace maids inside the room quickly knelt down to pay their respects and offer their greetings.

Empress Cheng hurried to the bedside, her gaze fixed anxiously on Song Tangli.

Song Tangli's face was extremely weak, and her lips were pale, but she still struggled to get up, as if she wanted to bow and greet him.

Empress Cheng quickly helped her up and said kindly.

"Given your special circumstances, we'll waive the formalities!"

He even personally helped Song Tangli lie down. Song Tangli's face was pale, and tears streamed down her face.

She seemed extremely aggrieved, but even though she was so heartbroken, she still remembered the rules and could only say...

"It's all my fault; I couldn't greet you properly today."

"We're all family, there's no need to fuss over these things."

Empress Cheng shook her head directly, and just then, Grandfather Song arrived in a hurry.

Although she seemed anxious, she still bowed to the Empress.

"Get up quickly, the child has suffered this time, you should comfort him properly."

Empress Cheng said, while standing to one side, while the palace maids beside her had already prepared chairs and were waiting.

The Empress took her seat and, seeing Song Tangli crying uncontrollably, began to complain.

“Mother… I really don’t want my sisters to be at odds and cause you and Father any worry, but this is beyond my control now. I have already made a huge concession!”

She cried as she said these words, her face streaked with tears, while Song's mother was filled with mixed emotions and didn't know which side to take.

Song Tangxue's status is different now than before, so it's probably best not to offend her.

Even though they had just argued not long ago, Song's mother could no longer question her as casually as before.

"The Crown Prince will definitely give you an explanation. Don't be too sad. We can't afford to fall ill now!"

After thinking for a moment, Song's mother quickly answered, showing no bias whatsoever.

But the more this is the case, the more it proves that the problem is extremely serious.

At the very least, she's different from before; she's changed!

When Song Tangli realized this, her heart sank. She also knew that from now on, she could no longer rely on her mother as before.

But she still seemed comforted and nodded quickly.

Even with tears streaming down her face, she seemed oblivious to her own grievances and answered with exceptional gentleness.

"Now that my daughter knows, she will definitely take good care of herself so that her parents won't worry!"

"Madam Song has raised her daughter very well, which I greatly admire."

Empress Cheng also said at the same time that these words were merely a prelude to what was to come.

After saying that, the Empress suddenly paused, looked around, and deliberately asked a question.

Why is the princess nowhere to be seen?

Her attitude was unclear, and she still addressed Song Tangxue respectfully.

Song Tangli was already very sad, and hearing these words seemed to stir up memories in her heart, so she quickly turned her head to the side.

He let the tears stream down his face, but he didn't say another word.

"Stop crying, it's bad for your eyes. You're in your postpartum period now, so you have to be careful about everything."

Song's mother quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, but did not mention Song Tangxue at all, nor did she express any anger.

Song Tangli never expected that she would have such an unexpected gain, seeing through her mother's true feelings!

It's true that they are blood relatives. They were distant before, but now they're slowly growing closer!

She only dared to think it to herself and didn't dare to say it out loud.

A female nanny nearby quickly answered.

"Your Majesty, Princess Yong'an is already waiting in the side hall."

"Okay, let's go take a look."

The Empress's attitude was unclear, and even the Emperor had not issued any decree, as if he wanted to protect Song Tangxue.

Song Tangli's heart had already turned cold, but she also knew...

In this accident, I actually benefited, at least I got rid of what was in my stomach.

With a helpless sigh, Song's mother lovingly tidied Song Tangli's hair before speaking.

"Then I'll go with Your Highness first. You rest here and don't overthink things or get sad. It's not good for you."

Song's mother's gentle words of advice were just like a loving mother comforting a wounded child.

Song Tangli felt no warmth at all, and she knew clearly that everyone was acting.

So he nodded obediently, but didn't say anything more.

Xie Qianzhong, accompanied by Song Tangxue, was already waiting next door.

Not long after, the Empress and Song's mother arrived.

After everyone bowed and greeted her, the Empress told them to rise and immediately asked what was wrong.

"What exactly happened today?"

"Your Majesty, Chen Ni was taking a walk to clear her head when the Crown Princess came up behind her and said a lot of nonsensical things. After turning around, she fell to the ground."

Song Tangxue answered with a firm gaze and a serious tone, without any hint of guilt.

Empress Cheng sighed, not rushing to answer, but instead taking her seat in the main seat before looking at everyone.

Did anyone see it at the time?

"The maids and attendants were too far away to see the situation clearly."

Song Tangxue answered truthfully without making any further excuses for herself, as if she knew it would be useless to say anything.

After all, it was already emphasized at the beginning that speaking again would only make one appear anxious.

"Then this matter is quite difficult. There are no eyewitnesses, and I've heard that the Crown Princess insists that you pushed her." Empress Cheng said as if she were recounting a story.

Song's mother stood silently to the side, unsure of what to do.

Even if you side with either side now, the other one will likely resent you for the rest of your life!

Xie Qianzhong clasped his hands in a fist salute to the Empress and immediately spoke.

“Princess Yong’an is a physician, and physicians are compassionate. She would never do something so outrageous and inhumane. There are other clues to this matter. Please investigate and punish her severely!”

Xie Qianzhong spoke with absolute certainty, supporting Song Tangxue.
