Xie Qianzhong knew, of course, that Song Tangxue was reporting good news to him but not bad news, and was also using the way she addressed him to remind him of their current relationship.
"She was secretly corresponding with me a while ago, but now she's so distant. Is this woman really so fickle?"
Xie Qianzhong suddenly broke the ice, as if he wanted to have a frank conversation with Song Tangxue.
Song Tangxue became even more nervous, knowing that he might be missing her and harboring some resentment, which was why he was no longer willing to hide his feelings.
Song Tangxue realized something was wrong and was about to say something when she quickly stopped Xie Qianzhong, but then she heard him continue.
“The power I wield now is enough to frighten the emperor. If I put pressure on him, he is still willing to let you divorce.”
Xie Qianzhong had been thinking about this matter for a long time. He used to think that the time was not ripe, but now he didn't want to wait any longer!
Song Tangxue felt a surge of irritation, because if that were really the case, the road ahead would likely be even more difficult.
"We've just met, and I know you're feeling a mix of emotions. Why don't we talk about it slowly?"
Left with no other choice, Song Tangxue made a suggestion, which Xie Qianzhong naturally noticed.
He understood even more clearly that if he continued talking and insisted on his own way, Song Tangxue would definitely be angered by him.
"Okay. You just got back, so take a few days to rest. We'll talk about it another day."
Xie Qianzhong could only answer like this, but unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Even though they wanted to live a peaceful life, some people just weren't willing to.
Through his own efforts, the Emperor finally discovered Song Tangxue's true identity.
"No wonder my benefactor always regarded money as dirt..." He finally realized and stood there muttering to himself.
The Empress also saw what was on it, but she frowned.
"Your Majesty, as a woman, I know that if I marry a bad husband, I will suffer for the rest of my life. I think Miss Song must dislike the Crown Prince very much, otherwise she would never have made such a choice."
She has already made a mistake and committed a terrible error. Now she only wants to do some good deeds to pray for the child in her womb.
Upon hearing this, the emperor seemed hesitant, unsure whether he should do it.
After some thought, he did not reply to the Empress, but instead looked at the chief eunuch beside him.
“Send a letter to their court. Tell them that I will be visiting soon.”
Song Tangxue is such a wonderful girl, a beautiful flower, and she shouldn't have withered away in a palace that doesn't belong to her.
The Empress did indeed do a good deed.
In the near future, in a life-or-death crisis, it will save his own life!
Song Tangxue has returned to the East Palace, but as soon as she returned, she found herself sitting on the sidelines.
“These people are really going too far. Now that you’ve returned, not a single person has come to serve you.”
"Above the Crown Princess is the Crown Princess, and I am merely a concubine now, so they will naturally treat me poorly."
Song Tangxue seemed to have taken it all in stride, speaking very casually before turning to look at Meng Youyu.
"Alright, they've been following me around for so long, take them to rest."
It's not appropriate to let those children come to the Eastern Palace, otherwise they might be implicated.
Meng Youyu understood Song Tangxue's thoughts, of course.
She really wanted to help her best friend, but there was nothing she could do, so she had to leave.
Meng Youyu left quickly, and Lianzhi rushed back as soon as she learned that her master had returned.
"Miss, I've missed you so much these past few days. How are you?"
Lianzhi spoke with red eyes, extremely agitated.
Song Tangxue remained very calm, grabbed Lianzhi's hand, and said earnestly.
"Don't you know me well enough? No one can bully me. But how are you doing here?"
As she spoke, she observed carefully and found that Lianzhi had not lost weight, and her hands were still the same as before, without becoming rough.
Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, and Lian Zhi nodded, then said.
"Everything is fine here. The Crown Princess is currently busy fighting with those vixens, so she doesn't have time to pay attention to me."
These days, Li Zhaoxian has taken in several concubines, and even has three or five more mistresses.
After that, Lianzhi quickly opened up and continued talking.
"The Empress was overjoyed by this, and took advantage of the reward to send even more beautiful women and princes over here, making her even happier."
She naturally wished for Li Zhaoxian to be indulging in beauty every day, because only in this way could the Empress's son have the opportunity to inherit the throne.
How could the Emperor not know these simple truths? This made Song Tangxue even more surprised.
"But the Emperor cannot tolerate any imperfections. Doesn't he get angry?"
"I heard that His Majesty thinks that more competition in the future would help the princes to excel, which is a good idea!"
Lian Zhi quickly continued to answer, also feeling that the reason Li Zhaoxian was not in a hurry was because he had great confidence in himself.
He believed that having lived in the Eastern Palace for so many years and served as the Crown Prince for so long, he must be more outstanding than others.
Song Tangxue had already guessed what was going on: "We must find out the news from outside thoroughly and make sure there are no mistakes or omissions."
Lianzhi understood Song Tangxue's plan and nodded quickly, but at the same time she was a little worried.
"I heard that the lord is coming back soon; his term of office is about to end..."
Once Song's parents return, their situation will become even more unfavorable, because they will clearly side with Song Tangli.
"Don't worry about them, just pretend you don't know anything about them."
Song Tangxue remained remarkably calm and directly answered Lianzhi.
The reason for this is that they have long lost trust in and given up on their parents.
Song Tangxue rested quickly, which surprised Song Tangli. She didn't expect her to be so calm this time.
"They turned their backs on us, but didn't make a move. Could they be brewing a bigger conspiracy?"
She was unsure of Song Tangxue's meaning and felt guilty, so she became afraid.
As his name suggests, Xiaoyao Ren was always extremely calm and seemed to take things as they come.
"We will fight no matter what, so there is no need for internal strife now."
She calmly answered, just as Li Zhaoxian walked in from outside.
He wasn't drunk today, nor did he reek of alcohol; on the contrary, he was unusually calm and composed.
Dressed in luxurious clothes, he looked quite dignified, like a prince.
"Greetings, Your Highness!" Song Tangli rose with exceptional decorum and performed a graceful and charming bow.
Upon seeing this, Li Zhaoxian quickly came over, helped her up, and said...
"Didn't I already say that we don't need to be so polite in private from now on? We're husband and wife!"
