Xiaoyao frowned, speaking with some uncertainty.

“This servant looks no different from usual today, and says the same things,”

After she finished speaking, she helped Song Tangli up.

"Thinking about it now is useless. You should go and rest. If it doesn't work, we'll strike first!"

“You’re right. Waiting here every day is like being slowly tortured. I need to keep the initiative in my hands so I can feel at ease!”

This time, Song Tangli finally agreed with what Xiaoyao said, and a fierce glint appeared in her eyes.

It seems she has murderous intent, and it's directed at Song Tangxue.

Song Tangli was very clear about what she was doing, but she also knew that this was a last resort.

Several days passed, and Song Tangxue's side gained nothing.

"It seems they've hidden themselves quite well this time, afraid of being discovered."

Song Tangxue was no longer in a hurry; instead, she spoke with ease.

Xie Qianzhong also felt it was nothing: "There will always be a time when it is exposed, it's just that the deeper it is buried now, the bigger the bomb will explode."

He was already quite used to this kind of thing.

Song Tangxue said, "Song Tangli has been going out a lot lately. It seems she has recovered her health and is about to start jumping around again."

"We don't need to worry about her now. Your pharmacy is already so busy, isn't that enough to keep you occupied?"

Xie Qianzhong asked, "Because once the next few pharmacies opened, we received patients with difficult and complicated illnesses almost every day."

Song Tangxue was certainly dedicated to treating her patients, and she even waived medical fees for those families in need.

"Although it's tiring, these are the things that always come to mind before I rest each day."

Song Tangxue didn't hide anything and directly told everyone what she had done.

After saying that, she also told Xie Qianzhong, "You should understand that it's not actually about bringing down Song Tangli, but just about being curious about what's behind it all."

For Song Tangxue, the intention was not to completely crush Song Tangli, but to make her experience the bitterness and warmth of life and be abandoned by everyone.

To suffer slowly and painfully until death is the best revenge for oneself.

However, Xie Qianzhong's troubles are more important.

"The Jin Kingdom is already showing signs of activity, and their military strength seems quite formidable. The Emperor is hesitant and unsure of what to do."

If war breaks out, hostility between the two countries will be inevitable, and the entire court will be on high alert.

Not only would it cost money, but it would also cause the people to live in fear and unease.

Song Tangxue was quite surprised when Xie Qianzhong told her this news.

She never expected things to turn out like this in just a few days; it was truly astonishing.

"It seems they are very confident, otherwise they wouldn't have repeatedly made things difficult for the imperial court."

After Song Tangxue finished speaking, she realized something else: "You originally had a few days of vacation left, so wouldn't you have to go back soon?"

"His Majesty has already sent someone to tell me to be ready to assist him at any time."

Xie Qianzhong spoke, and Song Tangli then remembered that someone had just handed her a memorial.

She remained calm and simply nodded after listening.

"Well then, let's hurry back. The country needs protection."

"There was another piece of news just now: the Crown Prince is preparing to personally lead the expedition, perhaps hoping to use this battle to gain fame for himself."

Xie Qianzhong told Song Tangxue everything, but Song Tangxue was not surprised by Li Zhaoxian's decision.

"The Crown Prince will not let such a good opportunity pass by, as it can both change the Emperor's opinion and win over the hearts of the people."

Song Tangxue said calmly, but she also had a question: "But is His Majesty willing to let him go?"

Li Zhaoxian was always all talk and no action, and the Emperor knew his son even better.

Xie Qianzhong was unaware of the specifics; he had only just been notified.

"Based on my understanding of the Emperor, I would be suspicious, and the fact that the Emperor summoned me to the palace immediately is probably for this reason."

Now the emperor is timid as a mouse, and dares not make decisions on his own in any matter.

Xie Qianzhong has become his greatest source of confidence, offering him advice and strategies.

Song Tangxue urged him to go as soon as possible: "Then you should go quickly, don't delay the time and make the Emperor anxious and suspicious."

The Emperor doesn't trust anyone now, but he seems to value Xie Qianzhong even more.

Regardless of who is in the court, everyone has to ask him about things, but the suspicion in their hearts only increases.

Xie Qian nodded: "Stay at home obediently and don't go out recently."

There are far too many bandits roaming around the capital recently.

The imperial court has been secretly keeping a close watch on them, wanting to see what they are up to.

But Xie Qianzhong still felt uneasy and decided to be cautious.

At this point, Song Tangxue felt particularly strange.

“I’ve always felt that this matter might be related to the Crown Prince. Maybe he’s been colluding with outsiders and is planning to pull off a big heist.”

"Don't say things that have no basis whatsoever, or it will only make you overthink things."

Xie Qianzhong did not believe these things; he only relied on evidence.

Everything Song Tangxue said was speculation.

Perhaps realizing the inadequacy of her words, Song Tangxue could only nod and remain silent.

But his thoughts had already drifted to another place, wondering how Song Tangli was doing.

Song Tangli has started jumping around again, but she's much more restrained than before.

"Mother, you are alright now, and I have found the concubine who poisoned you and beaten her to death with sticks."

Song Tangli sat on the edge of the bed, her voice filled with sorrow, and spoke to her mother.

Song's mother was still very weak and had not fully recovered, but she was relieved after hearing this.

"Luckily, it was me who ate the poisoned pastry. If it had been you, I don't even want to think about what would have happened."

When Song's mother said these words again, she was still shaken, but she spoke with even greater certainty.

"These people are definitely after you. These two incidents were absolutely orchestrated by someone to kill you for money!"

"As the Crown Princess, it is common for people to plot against me. I am already used to it. Mother, there is no need to be so alarmed."

Song Tangli said guiltily that she was trying to sow discord so that her mother wouldn't find out anything for the time being.

After saying that, he glanced to the side.

The other maids, seeing Song Tangli's signal, obediently left, not forgetting to close the door behind them.

“Mother… there is something I’m reluctant to say, but seeing you like this makes me even more conflicted.”

Upon seeing this, Song's mother knew that something must have happened again, and it was related to her!

"Just say what you want to say directly, don't beat around the bush, I hate that the most."

"My father has recently become very close to a woman from Jiangnan. I heard that she sings songs in a teahouse, and my father goes there all the time."
