The coldness in Li Zhaoxian's eyes intensified.
Song Tangxue added slowly, "Tangxue has no intention of vying for this position. It's just that the rumors outside are really bothering Tangxue. Although I haven't moved into the Eastern Palace, I still have to consider the Crown Prince's reputation. Otherwise, if others find out, they might think that my Song family doesn't know the rules."
These words were so scathing that they left the Song family utterly defenseless, practically slapping the label of "unruly" right in the face.
The Song family never expected that Song Tangxue, who was usually so obedient, would turn out like this!
Li Zhaoxian stared sharply at Song Tangxue, but Song Tangli simply walked slowly to her side, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze, "Sister, get up."
None of the Song family members spoke up, and Li Zhaoxian remained silent.
Song Tangli could only force back the tears welling up in her eyes as she got off her seat and walked to the back.
The Song family members glared at Song Tangli with resentment, but Song Tangli ignored them and instead said leisurely, "Haitang, go and bring over clean bowls and chopsticks."
Haitang: "Yes."
Soon, Haitang brought clean bowls and chopsticks to replace them, and threw Song Tangli's bowls and chopsticks into the sewage bucket to dispose of them together.
Song Tangli ate her meal slowly and gracefully.
Li Zhaoxian grabbed her wrist, his gaze cold and deep. "Interesting?"
Looking at the red marks on her hands, Song Tangxue suddenly smiled, then slowly pried his fingers apart. "What is the Crown Prince doing?"
Li Zhaoxian's voice was extremely cold and deep, "You and I both understand that the position of Crown Princess originally belonged to Ali."
A cold glint flashed in Song Tangxue's eyes, and she sneered inwardly, "If the Crown Prince is so fond of my fake sister, then let His Majesty issue an edict to make her the Crown Princess. She's already been lucky enough. A peasant woman's daughter has held the title of the Right Chancellor's legitimate daughter for so many years; she's really hit the jackpot..."
Her voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for everyone in the main cabin to hear. Song's father and mother were so angry they were trembling.
Li Zhaoxian's eyes were filled with frost, his sinister aura deepening.
Just then, the sound of weapons clashing suddenly came from outside the cabin, along with shouts of alarm: "Assassins! Protect the Crown Prince!"
Song Tangxue was slightly taken aback, and suddenly remembered that someone did seem to have tried to assassinate Li Zhaoxian back then.
"Bang—" The hatch was suddenly kicked open, and the black-clad assassins outside rushed in instantly. Li Zhaoxian's bodyguards all emerged to protect him in front.
Li Zhaoxian looked at Song Tangli, who was closest to the door, and said, "Go protect A-Li."
The two Song brothers were skilled in martial arts, and they protected their father and mother.
Li Zhaoxian's bodyguards were divided, with half protecting him and the other half protecting Song Tangli.
Now, Song Tangxue's place is empty, and she has no one to protect her.
In her past life, even in her predicament, she still remembered to shield Li Zhaoxian from a sword. The most ridiculous thing was that after she shielded him from the sword, Li Zhaoxian turned around and went to care about Song Tangli.
Looking back now, it was incredibly foolish! Saving others is not as good as saving yourself; relying on others is not as good as relying on yourself!
Soon, swords flashed and shadows approached, and Song Tangxue's gaze was fixed on the cabin window on Li Zhaoxian's body.
At this moment, an assassin broke through the encirclement and attacked Li Zhaoxian with his sword.
Li Zhaoxian's gaze turned cold, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Song Tangxue running towards him.
Is she... going to shield him from the sword?
