This is the only thing I care about; everything else is irrelevant. She owes me a debt I can never repay in this lifetime, and my current concession is only to embarrass her.
Song Tangli glared at her through her veil, she knew perfectly well! Yet she was still so aggressive: "Although you have forgiven me, I cannot forgive myself. Let me atone for my sins by doing something for you."
She adopted an extremely humble posture, and her voice was soft and faintly tinged with sobs, which inevitably stirred pity in the man's heart.
"It's alright, your sister doesn't mind, so I also want to see you." Li Zhaoxian felt a pang of guilt, recalling his attitude yesterday. After all, they had been friends for many years; what if there was a misunderstanding?
"Your Highness, there's no need to persuade me anymore. My mind is made up. I won't bother you any longer today." After saying this, Song Tangli turned around and left reluctantly. If she stayed, who knew what kind of underhanded tricks Song Tangxue might have up her sleeve.
Leaving the two of them alone, Song Tangli gripped the door frame tightly, returned to her courtyard, closed the door, and sat in front of the mirror, slowly lifting her veil.
The scene was devastated, even more horrific than yesterday. Lianzhi brought her some ointment.
"Do you think this doctor is lying to me? He said I'd be better in three days, but today I'm much worse." Song Tangli examined her face closely, feeling anxious.
If my face were intact, I would definitely snatch the Crown Prince back today.
“The doctor’s entire family’s lives are in your hands, Miss. I doubt he would dare to act recklessly.” Lianzhi opened the jar, revealing a cream that was white and lustrous.
Song Tangli nodded: "That's true."
She scooped out a spoonful of ointment and applied it to her face and body, falling asleep with the smell of medicine all over her body. In her dreams, she had everything.
Inside the Chang Le Palace, Li Zhaoxian watched Song Tangli leave in a hurry and a sense of doubt arose in his heart. Song Tangli had never acted like this before.
"If Your Highness is reluctant to part with the Crown Princess, you are free to go after her." Song Tangxue genuinely wanted to send this powerful figure away.
Li Zhaoxian clearly misunderstood her meaning: "Is Tang Xue jealous?"
As he spoke, he reached out to Song Tangxue again, but this time Song Tangxue dodged it without hesitation. Li Zhaoxian helplessly withdrew his hand: "Why is Tangxue so temperamental?"
Song Tangxue remained silent with cold eyes, needing to find a way to help Song Tangli recover as soon as possible. Li Zhaoxian's interest had shifted to her, which was not a good thing.
If you anger that jealous person who never shows any emotion, you'll suffer the consequences too.
"Have you had dinner yet?" Li Zhaoxian asked, changing the subject when he saw that Song Tangxue didn't seem inclined to reply.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I've already eaten." Song Tangxue replied with a forced smile, though she hadn't actually eaten yet. She had walked for a long time that afternoon and was starving.
At that time, I sent Cuixi and Xiaoxizi away. Cuixi said that Xiaoxizi treated her to a lot of delicious food.
"Then you'll keep me company while I eat some more." Li Zhaoxian was clearly reluctant to let her go. Everyone said that beauty is a feast for the eyes, and Song Tangxue's appearance was worth a Manchu Han Imperial Feast.
"I just moved to Chang Le Palace today, and the palace is not yet ready. I'm afraid I might disturb Your Highness," Song Tangxue casually made up a reason.
“Yes, Your Highness, Chang Le Palace has been uninhabited for a long time, and cleaning it is really troublesome.” Xiao Xunzi carefully lowered his head, and sweat dripped from his forehead onto the tips of his shoes. Song Tangxue noticed at a glance that he was feeling guilty.
So this room...
I was in such a hurry to get back today that I didn't observe carefully and almost fell into Xiao Xunzi's trap.
"Then why don't we have a meal at my place?" Li Zhaoxian asked again, persistently.
"I'm exhausted today and really don't want to move. The main hall should be ready by now, so let's have our meal here," Song Tangxue said.
Lee So-hyun found it pleasant to hear; the explanation sounded like a coquettish gesture.
He then strode towards the main hall: "Shanxing, serve the meal!"
Song Tangxue followed obediently a step behind him, while Xiao Xunzi's heart was in his throat, following closely behind.
"Your Highness, there are still some things that haven't been collected in the main hall..." Xiao Xunzi stood in front of the main hall, speaking hurriedly, but was impatiently pushed aside by Li Zhaoxian.
"Why do you have so many questions, you lackey?"
"You went out today?" Li Zhaoxian was still chatting with Song Tangxue when he pushed open the door.
"Bang!"
Upon seeing the dark brown liquid, Song Tangxue jumped back abruptly. A strange odor wafted over, and Song Tangxue turned her head away, groaning, "Ugh!"
Li Zhaoxian's face was ashen, and Xiao Xunzi was slumped on the ground, his face ashen. He knew that he was going to die.
"Your Highness!" Shan Xing stepped forward and ordered someone to fetch a handkerchief. Most of the people in the courtyard covered their noses and vomited lightly.
This is clearly excrement; this is Xiao Xunzi and his gang's revenge.
However, I never expected that His Highness the Crown Prince would accept this revenge so readily.
"Your Highness, are you alright?" Song Tangxue covered her own nose before carefully approaching and asking with concern.
Anyone can pretend.
Li Zhaoxian's face was still covered in filth as he leaned against a pillar, gasping for breath. Song Tangxue watched anxiously from the side and handed him her own handkerchief.
"Who is this?!" Adding fuel to the fire, he exclaimed, "This is absolutely outrageous!"
"Was it you who stopped me just now?" Li Zhaoxian began to settle scores, and Xiao Xunzi was too frightened to speak.
Shan Xing carefully wiped Li Zhaoxian's cheeks clean, then leaned closer to smell the stench that assaulted his senses. He couldn't even imagine what the Crown Prince had experienced in that instant.
"Then you tell me!" Li Zhaoxian roared, pointing at a trembling palace maid beside him. The maid knelt down, her lips quivering, "This servant knows nothing!"
"Don't know?" Li Zhaoxian laughed in fury, his face contorted with rage. "If you don't know what job you're doing, drag him away and flog him!"
"Then do you know?" Li Zhaoxian's gaze fell on the little eunuch beside him. After the palace maid was dragged out, she cried and screamed, making the servants dare not speak and kneel on the ground.
"It was Eunuch Xun who handled it; it has nothing to do with us. Please, Your Highness, investigate thoroughly!" The little eunuch kowtowed heavily, trembling as he dared not raise his head.
"Don't know?" Li Zhaoxian grabbed the eunuch's neck, and the little eunuch couldn't pry his hands off. He was struggling to breathe. "Do you think I'm as easy to fool as a three-year-old child?"
He casually tossed the little eunuch aside. The little eunuch coughed and barely escaped with his life, but only had a few moments to catch his breath.
"All the palace maids and eunuchs in Chang Le Palace shall be flogged!" Li Zhaoxian was furious. This was a complete disregard for him, and he was being humiliated like this!
“Your Highness, Cuixi and Xiaoxizi are with me this afternoon. Please leave two servants for me,” Song Tangxue stepped forward and said gently and respectfully.
Seeing the others' reluctance and Song Tangxue's gentleness, Li Zhaoxian nodded: "I understand. You've been wronged in this matter. You can go and choose the person yourself tomorrow."
