Song Tangxue took out a pill from her bosom and handed it to him: "This can relieve your fatigue. Take it quickly, and then lie down on the bed. You are not allowed to come out to do any more official business!"
Xie Qianzhong didn't suspect anything and swallowed it directly. Instantly, he felt much of his fatigue relieved. This pill was indeed miraculous; even the imperial physicians in the palace couldn't compare.
"Tang Xue, now you can tell me where you've been all this time, right?"
"Didn't I tell you in the letter? I went to the Western Regions. The King of Winston was poisoned by a strange poison and had no way to cure him, so he took me away."
Xie Qianzhong felt a little jealous, which meant that they had been living together all this time.
Song Tangxue saw through his thoughts: "You don't need to worry about that. Wen Sizhi and I are just siblings. I felt that he had changed a lot this time. Before, he was a carefree playboy, but now he shows some kingly air."
In his previous life, Wen Sizhi did indeed become the king of the Western Regions. After that, he became a great help to Song Tangli, clearing away many obstacles for her. He was clearly a decisive and ruthless king, yet he was willing to give up everything for a woman.
Song Tangli had no romantic feelings for him; she only used him as a pawn. While she was having a romantic relationship with Li Zhaoxian, she was also secretly colluding with Wen Sizhi to manipulate several boys. It could be said that Song Tangli in her previous life was able to eliminate so many enemies thanks to them.
"I trust you, but Winston's feelings for you are definitely not that simple."
Xie Qianzhong was also a man, so he could naturally understand what Wen Sizhi's eyes meant; they were clearly looking at Song Tangxue.
"No matter how he feels about me, I have always loved only you, and I must marry you in this lifetime."
Xie Qianzhong gently kissed her, with devotion and loyalty, and the two gradually succumbed to each other in the moonlight.
...
After one night.
Song Tangxue had just returned to the Crown Prince's residence when Li Zhaoxian summoned her.
Li Zhaoxian seemed to have become a different person, going to great lengths to please her, sending her everything in the mansion, which even made Song Tangli extremely jealous.
This was something Song Tangxue had dreamed of in her past life, and now that it had actually happened to her, she couldn't feel happy at all.
Song Tangli never expected that after finally getting rid of Peixi from His Highness's side, His Highness would fall in love with Song Tangxue.
Song Tangli felt that things were getting out of her control. According to her plan, His Highness the Crown Prince should have returned to her side and had another child with her to make up for the previous regret.
Li Zhaoxian no longer had eyes for Song Tangli. He had brought in many girls from other places, each one a stunning beauty. His own flamboyant attire made him appear somewhat gaudy.
This is not simply a case of someone who is constantly immersed in the pleasures of the emperor, unwilling to even handle the official duties entrusted to him by the emperor, and simply handing over the documents to his subordinates.
"I wonder if Xue'er rested well yesterday?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I've been resting well." Song Tangxue's radiant complexion confirmed this statement.
"That's good. I wonder if Xue'er has time to go on an outing with me today?"
The people of the world are now in dire straits, yet he, as a prince of the dynasty, has no concern for them and only knows how to indulge in pleasure.
"Isn't that inappropriate? I heard that His Majesty recently gave you an order to provide relief to the people. Has Your Highness ever spent your time on useless things?"
It is truly sad that Yongfeng Kingdom has such a king and prince. It is not only after my death that Li Zhaoxian smoothly became king. How long can he be so proud? The world will surely descend into chaos. Even if Song Tangli has someone backing her up, it will not last long.
The people are suffering terribly every day. The emperor refuses to distribute food relief, and the princes only care about themselves. The people have long since lost hope. Even if Song Tangxue wants to help, she cannot save all the people of Yongfeng Kingdom by herself.
"What are you saying, Xue'er? This is not a useless matter. As long as Xue'er is happy, I will do anything willingly."
Unable to refuse, Song Tangxue and Song Tangli went on a boat trip together, and the news soon reached Song Tangli's ears.
Song Tangli gripped the handkerchief tightly in her hand, cursing "bitch" countless times in her mind. Her composure could no longer be faked, startling Cuixi.
"Your Highness, this Crown Princess clearly doesn't respect you. She's traveling alone with His Highness the Crown Prince, and I heard she didn't bring a single maid. Who knows what might happen on the road? Why don't we go along?"
Song Tangxue had always been against me in the Song family, and she really hasn't changed her ways since she came to the Crown Prince's residence. I can't possibly take the Crown Prince away from me.
"Where did you and His Highness go today, sister?"
"I heard from the servants in the mansion that they are going to visit the pavilion."
This pavilion is a wonderful place. It's located in the center of the lake, offering a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery. However, it costs a considerable amount of money to get there, and only high-ranking officials and nobles are qualified to enter.
"Since we have nothing to do today, why don't we go and take a look?"
...
Guanting Pavilion.
Li Zhaoxian was quite high-profile, attracting many glances from women along the way, which he ignored. This only made him miss that figure in black even more. If it were Xie Qianzhong, he would never have done this.
"Xue'er, if you have any fun little things to buy, just tell me and I'll buy them for you!"
"No need, I have no one in my heart."
These things were clearly the same as what she and Xie Qianzhong had seen, but Song Tangxue was no longer in the mood. She looked around absentmindedly, thinking that today was really long. Why wasn't it over yet?
"What a coincidence today! I was just idly visiting this pavilion when I ran into Your Highness and my sister."
Song Tangli swayed her waist, looking quite flamboyant. She clearly didn't wander around by accident, but deliberately made herself at home. This clumsy excuse was truly laughable, and probably only Li Zhaoxian would reply.
"Ali is here too, so let's enjoy the view together. I haven't seen this scenery in a long time."
As soon as Song Tangli arrived, she pushed Song Tangxue aside: "Your Highness, are you perhaps confused? Before I married into the Crown Prince's household, Your Highness often admired this scenery with me, and it was here that we fell in love."
Song Tangli glared at Song Tangxue triumphantly, but the latter completely ignored her.
I really don't know what Song Tangxue is pretending for. She followed Li Zhaoxian around for the past few years, but now that she's married into the family, she's acting all high and mighty. She's so hypocritical.
"I wonder if Xue'er also likes this scenery?"
Song Tangxue curled her lips. She originally didn't want to pay attention to Li Zhaoxian's words, but since Song Tangli had come, she became interested.
