Seeing Xie Qianzhong publicly express his opinion, Song's mother believed in Song Tangxue.

If she, as her own mother, doesn't say anything more, she's afraid people will gossip about her behind her back.

"What the Left Prime Minister says is quite right. These two sisters have always had misunderstandings, and perhaps this time is no different."

Song's mother spoke with her head bowed and eyes lowered, but by saying this, she was clearly showing her support for Song Tangxue.

Song Tangxue was quite surprised. She never expected that her mother would side with her this time. This was truly unprecedented!

But she quickly realized that Song's mother must not have said that because she believed her.

After hearing this, Empress Cheng nodded and echoed her words.

"Indeed, I am well aware of Princess Yong'an's personality."

However, after saying that, he looked at the old woman standing to the side.

"Bring all the servants you see today here, and don't leave a single one out."

As she spoke, Empress Cheng continued her sermon.

"Let's ask around first, and perhaps we can clear Princess Yong'an's name soon."

Song Tangxue nodded but didn't say anything, though her expression didn't show any sign of guilt.

The group was quickly brought in, and as soon as they entered the hall, the palace maids and eunuchs knelt down.

They seemed to have been greatly frightened and had not yet recovered.

"Did any of you see Princess Yong'an push the Crown Princess?"

Empress Cheng spoke sternly, and after finishing her speech, she did not forget to use both kindness and severity.

"Those who speak the truth will be richly rewarded, but if I discover that someone is blatantly lying, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Empress Cheng was fulfilling her duties as empress when Song Tangxue spoke up.

"May Heaven be with you all, and may you all live with your consciences!"

She didn't make any threats, but she knew in her heart that these were all people close to Song Tangli.

It would be impossible for her to betray Song Tangli, so this questioning was superfluous, and the result was quite obvious.

The palace maids and eunuchs below looked at each other, none of them daring to utter a sound.

Seeing this, Xie Qianzhong stepped forward, revealing a powerful aura, and continued speaking.

"If you have any concerns, you can speak them out, and I will take care of them for you here!"

But after saying this, he suddenly paused, then continued speaking seriously.

"I never bend the law for personal gain, a fact known throughout the country. However, I also cannot tolerate any injustice!"

The palace maids and eunuchs were already terrified by Xie Qianzhong's appearance.

Of course they were in cahoots, but now that they were facing Xie Qianzhong, who was known as the living Yama, who wouldn't be afraid?

"My esteemed guests, I saw it at the time."

But there are naturally those who are willing to die for their cause, so a sudden voice rang out.

A palace maid with a somewhat youthful appearance spoke, her voice filled with fear as she continued to recount the sudden occurrence of the incident.

"When I saw the princess turn around, I was so angry and embarrassed that I pushed the Crown Princess!"

"Alright, now that we've revealed it, let's investigate thoroughly. Separate these people and question them to see if they know the location of this palace maid at the time!"

Xie Qianzhong had excellent experience in judging cases, and he quickly gave the orders, while also requesting permission from the Empress.

"Your Majesty, I believe that if it can be proven that everything she said is true, then simply stating her location would suffice. As long as it matches someone else's description, the evidence would be conclusive!"

The palace maid visibly grew frightened, as if she were afraid.

Song Tangxue saw all of this and took two steps forward.

She was well-versed in medical books and could also analyze people's micro-expressions; such books had been passed down from the past.

Few people know this, but Song Tangxue understands it all too well; she knows what this means!

Are you scared?

She suddenly asked a question, and the palace maid trembled as she quickly answered.

"This servant has never seen such a large-scale event before, so naturally I am afraid."

"What the Prime Minister says makes sense, so let's do as you say."

Empress Cheng also spoke at the same time, and Xie Qianzhong did not speak, but looked at the head of the guards next to him.

They are all different entities with their own power bases.

There were several chief guards, but Li Zhaoxian was known for his ruthlessness.

As for Xie Qianzhong, although he doesn't handle cases easily, he would never use someone who might benefit him lightly.

The palace maids and eunuchs were quickly taken away, and during the process, Song's mother remained silent the entire time.

She also felt a little scared. What if Song Tangli really took care of the child herself just to frame Song Tangxue?

If this matter is investigated and found out, the entire Song family will likely suffer. This is the grandson of the emperor!

"The results will be available soon, so please be patient and wait a little longer."

Empress Cheng continued speaking, and this time she was impartial and did not favor anyone.

Actually, she was also trying to curry favor with Qianzhong, hoping that he would take better care of Li Zhaoyun in the future.

Soon after, the palace maid was brought over again.

At the same time, a female judge appeared beside her. She had a cold and aloof expression and replied directly without smiling.

"Many servants pointed out that she was standing at the back of the group at the time. Your humble servant went to investigate and found that if she was blocked like that, it would be difficult to see what was happening in front of her!"

These words made Song's mother's heart clench even more.

She knew, of course, what that meant.

If Song Tangli is truly found out that she used the emperor's grandson to plot against the currently popular princess, then she will probably lose her head!

"We've been here for quite some time now. Since we've made a decision, why don't we go and ask the Crown Princess first?"

Song's mother quickly spoke up, saying that she wanted to go see him alone and ask him some questions.

Song Tangxue saw through her mother's thoughts, but she knew that if they colluded, she would be in trouble.

"Given the current situation, it's best to avoid suspicion."

Xie Qianzhong spoke directly at this moment, his tone exceptionally serious.

Having lived in the palace for many years, Empress Cheng had witnessed countless intrigues and betrayals. How could she not see the strange atmosphere at this moment?

The little palace maid from before had also vanished to the ground, ashen with death.

She seemed to already know what awaited her.

However, despite the fear, there was also a sense of calm.

Why did you lie and try to harm me?

Song Tangxue finally spoke, looking coldly at the palace maid, and questioned her.

Upon hearing this, the little palace maid suddenly raised her head and glared at Song Tangxue with resentment.

"Six months ago, my brother fell seriously ill. I begged you to come see him, but you delayed, which led to his sudden death!"

She finally recounted this past event, and Song Tangxue then remembered that she had met her before!
