Song Tangli may have already hit a dead end, so she doesn't care what will happen next.

She suddenly burst into maniacal laughter: "Haha, if one plan fails, there's another! I don't believe you'll always be this lucky!"

As Song Tangli spoke, she suddenly turned around and looked at Xiaoyao not far away.

Her expression no longer resembled that of a normal person; instead, it carried an extreme degree of obsession, as if she would not give up until she achieved her goal.

"Before all this happened, did anyone get medicine or see a doctor from them?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyao fell silent for a moment, then said with some disbelief, "The Crown Princess intends to harm them?"

It was such an obvious thing, but Xiaoyao still couldn't quite believe it.

Given the current situation, they should stop immediately, distance themselves from the matter, and do everything possible to clear themselves of suspicion.

Song Tangli couldn't care less about anything else and immediately spoke up.

"We must succeed in one fell swoop. Only in this way can we ensure that this bitch will never have a chance to rise again. You must do a good job this time!"

As Song Tangli spoke, she grabbed Xiaoyao's hand again and quickly continued.

"I know, I know you're a woman, but you've always liked me, which is why you're willing to stay by my side and help me!"

As she spoke, Xiaoyao's expression changed, but before she could say anything more, Song Tangli led her directly into the inner room.

...

"Miss, you should at least eat something. What if you ruin your health like this?"

Haitang looked at Song Tangxue with great concern. She hadn't eaten lunch, and now it was evening, yet she still hadn't eaten.

Song Tangxue felt extremely agitated. Although she had already proven her innocence, at least it had nothing to do with her.

But if the person behind this isn't brought to justice, just thinking about it makes me feel uneasy.

"I'm so upset that I can't eat anything. You don't need to worry about me."

Song Tangxue rarely spoke of her worries, but Haitang felt even more heartbroken.

"Man is made of iron, food is made of steel. You are a doctor, so you understand such a simple principle."

"Is there any new news from outside?"

Instead of answering Haitang, Song Tangxue asked a question.

Haitang shook her head helplessly. There had been no new news since they returned.

"The Prime Minister is also investigating diligently, but there's no news yet. Don't worry, perhaps we'll hear it tomorrow."

Song's mother finally arrived at this time. She had disappeared for an afternoon, perhaps to discuss a more detailed countermeasure.

"It's clear that someone framed you this time, but we're already in the eye of the storm, and it's not appropriate for us to appear again."

Song Tangxue immediately understood what her mother meant; she simply didn't want her to go out.

“If necessary, I will definitely have to go out,” Song Tangxue said decisively.

Upon hearing this, Haitang became slightly worried and gently tugged at Song Tangxue's sleeve.

She was afraid that her wife would get angry, and if the two of them started arguing, it would only make the situation worse.

But at this moment, Song's mother had to consider Xie Qianzhong's feelings, even if she wasn't afraid of Song Tangxue.

“I know you have a stubborn temper, but if you go out now, people will talk about you behind your back and gossip about you everywhere. Can you really stand it?”

Song's mother asked a question in return, but Song Tangxue was not afraid of these things.

"Thank you for your concern, but I will go when the time comes."

Song Tangxue contradicted her again, and Song's mother, who had been suppressing her anger, finally broke down.

She gave a cold laugh and stopped pretending.

Express your truest feelings, and then speak.

"In that case, I'd like to see how you handle this next. Good luck."

After saying this, Song's mother turned and left.

Haitang was also a little surprised that the two of them didn't quarrel today. Although she breathed a sigh of relief, she was still worried.

“Miss, we shouldn’t have contradicted Madam just now, otherwise he might have caused us trouble.”

Haitang was slightly worried, but Song Tangxue couldn't worry about that right now.

"Since we can't wait for news, then take my token and go to Lord Xie to ask about the current situation."

After Song Tangxue finished speaking, she took out her token and handed it to Haitang.

She'll avoid going out if she can avoid it now, but she definitely needs someone to run errands for her.

Haitang agreed, but with a condition.

"This servant will go right away, but if the master asks about you and finds out you haven't been eating, he will definitely be worried. Why don't you eat now, and this servant will go to find the master?"

"Okay, go ahead."

Song Tangxue nodded without hesitation and walked towards the dining table.

Haitang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left to do errands for her mistress.

Xie Qianzhong was currently in the palace, and Haitang had no way of seeing him.

The Emperor's expression grew increasingly grave, and he asked him directly.

"In this matter, is the Princess confident that she can clear her name?"

"Your Majesty, within half an hour today, her innocence has been proven, and it is only a matter of time before all of this is uncovered."

The Emperor asked this question because he had his own concerns, and he was not at ease after hearing it.

If this matter continues to be discussed, it may affect the administration of the court.

"You were already aware of the court's current problems, but now things have gotten even worse. What are your thoughts on this, my dear minister?"

"Someone must be deliberately stirring things up to take advantage of the situation. The beauties must be on their guard and defend against the enemy."

Xie Qianzhong knew better than anyone what the Emperor feared most. So at that moment, he directly seized upon the Emperor's Achilles' heel.

This also lets the Emperor know that Song Tangxue's misfortune this time is just part of their scheme, and their ultimate goal is his empire.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor's expression changed drastically; he absolutely could not allow such a thing to happen.

"What you say makes perfect sense. Issue the order that this matter must be thoroughly investigated, no matter the cost!"

Having achieved his goal, Xie Qianzhong quickly left the palace and immediately saw the anxious Haitang.

When Haitang appeared there, he immediately understood what was going on and said directly.

"The Dali Temple is investigating, and there are no results yet. Tell your young lady not to worry too much, and to have a bowl of calming soup tonight to help her fall asleep."

As soon as Haitang saw Xie Qianzhong, she heard him say this.

But she could only shake her head helplessly: "Miss is very eager to know who the mastermind is. She's currently lost in thought and probably won't listen to anything I say."

Knowing that there has been no progress will only make Song Tangxue more anxious.

Xie Qianzhong frowned upon hearing this.

"Okay, you can go back now. I'll come over later."

He needs to go to the yamen (government office) to check the situation before he goes there.

Hearing this, Haitang breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps with the master gone, the young lady's mood wouldn't be too bad.
