"Don't worry, I just looked around and no one has come here."
Song Tangxue swallowed a pill that made her lighter and unable to hear her own footsteps. Now, even these experts couldn't detect her footsteps.
"Alright, our plan cannot be delayed. We must keep Song Tangxue under control in the next few days so that we can move forward."
"I don't know what kind of medicine that Crown Prince took, he suddenly became indifferent to me, but instead showed great concern for Song Tangxue, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to such lengths."
Song Tangxue vaguely heard all three of their words. It seemed that their goal was to deal with Li Zhaoxian, and that she herself was just a coincidence.
They didn't say anything more after that, afraid of arousing suspicion, so Song Tangxue went back into the room and pretended to still be unconscious.
Xie Qianzhong did not leave the Crown Prince's residence and stayed by her side. He had been worried sick about her these past few days. As soon as he heard that Song Tangxue was missing, he wished he could come to her side immediately.
"Could you please let me know before you do anything in the future? Otherwise, I'll always be worried about you."
It was already quite late when Xie Qianzhong pulled her into his arms. Pei Xi wouldn't be coming again, so they felt safe and stayed together.
"It happened so suddenly, there are some things I can't tell you." How come I didn't realize in my past life that he was such a cautious person? Once he confirmed that the woman he admired felt the same way, he stopped hiding it.
"There have been too many things going on lately; we haven't even finished dealing with the matters in the Western Regions yet."
Upon hearing the mention of Wen Sizhi, Xie Qianzhong immediately became displeased: "You have already helped him a great deal and saved his father's life. He is grateful to you more than anything. You don't need to worry about the Western Regions anymore."
That's what she said, but in Song Tangxue's heart she still regarded him as her brother and couldn't ignore him.
All of this is due to Song Tangxue's insufficient strength. If she had the ability to change the world's格局 (geju, a concept encompassing overall situation, overall situation, and overall situation), she would no longer be subject to constraints at every turn.
"I heard that Her Majesty the Empress's birthday is coming soon. I wonder what Tangxue plans to give her?"
Song Tangli was stunned. She had actually forgotten this day. In her previous life, the Empress's birthday was a big day. At the banquet, Song Tangli repeatedly embarrassed herself and even made the acquaintance of a powerful ally, Lin Xizhi.
Lin Xizhi was an ordinary palace maid who was bullied everywhere in the palace. Coincidentally, she was pushed into the water by the eunuchs. Song Tangli saw this and rescued her. From then on, Lin Xizhi was devoted to Song Tangli and gained a loyal subordinate.
But Song Tangli was not such a kind person. She ordered the eunuchs to harm Lin Xizhi, and then appeared in front of her like a savior, crying "stop thief!" as if she were the thief.
As a result, Lin Xizhi only obeyed Song Tangli's orders, leading to many things being done in Lin Xizhi's name, making it impossible to trace the responsibility back to Song Tangli.
That day was also a golden opportunity for Song Tangxue; she couldn't let Song Tangli gain another subordinate like she had in her previous life.
"Naturally, we have prepared a grand gift for Her Majesty the Empress."
The Empress has been making things difficult for Song Tangxue at every turn. If she doesn't give Song Tangxue a gift she'll never forget on this important day, then she'll be letting down the Empress who has taken such good care of her before.
"I have a feeling that you little rascal have come up with some naughty ideas again."
"This is not my fault; they provoked me." The people Song Tangxue was dealing with all had grudges against her and had come to provoke her, which is why she retaliated.
In her previous life, the Empress often took advantage of others' misfortunes, so of course she wouldn't let her off the hook. Even in this life, while outwardly cooperating with Song Tangxue, she secretly only treated her as a pawn. Since she was a pawn, she could be discarded at any time.
The next day.
Pei Xi came to the room again to draw blood from Song Tangxue, but still didn't find the Gu worm she had imagined: "This is not right. I clearly did as the adults said. There's no way I was wrong!"
Just as Pei Xi was completely baffled, Song Tangxue suddenly returned to normal: "Pei Xi, you really have a lot of nerve, daring to lay a hand on your master. Do you know that this alone is enough to warrant the extermination of your entire family!"
Pei Xi watched helplessly as Song Tangxue sat up as if nothing had happened, wiping all the powder off her body onto the ground.
"You...you were awake a long time ago!"
"To put it another way, I have never been controlled by you. I just wanted to see what you would do in the end, but you have disappointed me too much."
Song Tangxue straightened her clothes, her face still pale; it was clear that the medicine was working!
"That's impossible. I got these medicines from that lord. There's absolutely no mistake."
Pei Xi had used the same method on others before and succeeded, but things didn't go as planned with Song Tangxue.
"You're still too green to try and poison me!"
Pei Xi realized the situation was bad and wanted to slip away quickly, but found that she couldn't muster any strength. Meanwhile, Song Tangxue walked up to her charmingly and lifted her chin.
"I bet you're wondering why you have no strength at all. Actually, I apply a powder to my arm every day that makes people lose strength. I've calculated that the effects of the medicine over the past four days have been just right."
Peiqi's eyes widened. She never expected Song Tangxue to be so powerful, even the sect leader of Zhu Nanmen couldn't do it!
This time, she had no choice but to admit defeat, and she didn't even have the strength to run away. She tried to bite her tongue and commit suicide, but she couldn't muster the strength.
"You'd better not waste your energy. I will deal with you myself in a moment."
Song Tangxue, dressed in gorgeous clothes, stepped out of the room. This time, it was Pei Xi who was trapped here.
Song Tangxue, who had disappeared for several days, suddenly appeared in front of everyone, which shocked them. However, as servants, they naturally dared not speak about their master's affairs, and swallowed their words, watching helplessly as Song Tangxue entered the Crown Prince's Palace.
"Your Majesty..." The guard at the door wanted to go in and announce her arrival, but Song Tangxue didn't give him a chance to speak and stepped inside directly.
Song Tangxue changed her previous attire, now sporting a flamboyant red dress, and suddenly appeared inside the Crown Prince's palace, where she witnessed a sensual scene.
Song Tangli lay lightly covered in Li Zhaoxian's arms, and it was clear at a glance what had just happened.
"Your Highness is in high spirits."
Li Zhaoxian was startled. Wasn't Song Tangxue avoiding him? Judging from her appearance, she didn't seem to be unwell. Could she be deliberately deceiving the Crown Prince?
"I haven't even summoned you yet, how dare you come in on your own!" Li Zhaoxian's face was gloomy. The guards scurried in, "Your Highness, we tried to stop the Empress, but she just walked in."
"Your Highness need not blame them; it was my own idea to come."
