Song Tangli shook her head and insisted on completing the ceremony before speaking.
"This is my duty, and I must complete it."
After speaking, she looked at Li Zhaoxian with a puzzled expression: "Your Highness has been busy with official duties recently, and it's still early, so why did you come here?"
Song Tangli is truly a respectable person. It's obvious that Li Zhaoxian has been busy having affairs with women lately and has no time to care about her.
However, this speech not only made Li Zhaoxian, who was initially feeling somewhat guilty, instantly feel no guilt, but also increased his favorability.
Li Zhaoxian breathed a sigh of relief; he was reassured by Song Tangli's words.
"She's back, and I was thinking of going with you to see her."
When would Li Zhaoxian be so kind? It's obvious he has an ulterior motive. Song Tangli has no idea what he's planning.
However, fearing that there were some things he couldn't control, he quickly said...
"They've just come back and might be having some trouble adjusting to the new environment. If we go there, we'll only cause them more trouble. Why don't we wait a couple of days?"
Li Zhaoxian frowned after hearing this, seemingly somewhat unwilling, but then he thought about what he had done.
He felt somewhat guilty, so he agreed to the Crown Princess's request.
"What you say makes sense. Let's postpone it for two days and go together."
Song Tangxue was indeed a little tired, but she felt much better after a night of rest.
Lianzhi had prepared breakfast for her early in the morning, and when she saw Song Tangxue wake up, she quickly said something.
"I have prepared everything. Please come and have your breakfast."
"You're attracting too much attention by staying here; you should go back first."
Song Tangxue was also moved, she hadn't expected Lianzhi to be so different from before, but she still had some concerns.
She was now being sent to serve her, but Song Tangli thought that Lianzhi was still her person, so she shouldn't be so considerate.
Lianzhi understood what Song Tangxue meant, but she was already heartbroken.
After listening, she helped set the table while giving a helpless smile.
"I am now like a piece of duckweed, and I am so lucky to have been taken in by you, otherwise I would probably be dead..."
A few days ago, Song Tangli sent her here like a football, hoping to make her a covert agent.
But Song Tangxue treated people with sincerity. When Lianzhi was seriously ill and almost died, Song Tangli wished she would die quickly, since she had too many secrets.
However, Song Tangxue abandoned her predecessor and directly treated Lianzhi properly, which saved her life. From then on, the relationship between the two changed.
At the very least, he treated people sincerely and didn't help Song Tangli do those bad things anymore.
Song Tangxue understood Lianzhi, but she had her own concerns: "I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in the Crown Prince's residence for long. If I implicate you in the future, that wouldn't be good."
"Wherever you go, I will follow you!"
Upon hearing this, Lianzhi immediately knelt on the ground and solemnly replied.
She is now a loyal servant, and a loyal servant of Song Tangxue.
After hearing this, Song Tangxue didn't know what else to say, so she nodded and started eating breakfast.
But this peace was soon shattered.
A servant came in to announce their arrival and said...
"His Majesty requests your presence. Please, Crown Princess, make preparations as soon as possible and depart immediately!"
"I understand, you may leave now," Song Tangxue said calmly.
Lian Zhi believes that there are probably many problems with this matter.
After the visitor left, he said very cautiously.
"Logically, you could rest for two days before offering your advice, so why is the Emperor in such a hurry? Could it be that someone is doing this on purpose?"
"There are too many enemies here, and now I don't even know who they are."
Song Tangxue answered calmly, seemingly unafraid, as it wasn't her first time meeting the Emperor.
She was considered a meritorious official, so the emperor naturally couldn't make things difficult for her. Therefore, he went to see what was going on first.
Song Tangli also learned the news. She had already started working on it, but she didn't expect to succeed overnight!
“Your idea is excellent. If Father really didn’t listen, why would he summon her? It’s clear that his mind has already wavered.”
Song Tangli paced around the room, her mood exceptionally good, and she looked at Xiaoyao with great satisfaction.
Xiaoyao remained remarkably calm, having already anticipated this situation.
"I believe that the news of the Crown Princess's dethronement will arrive soon."
This is their real purpose. You know, if a woman is divorced by her husband's family, she will be drowned in public scorn.
In the royal family, those who are abandoned because their birth charts are incompatible and considered unlucky will be ridiculed by the world for the rest of their lives.
But these weren't the most important things. As Song Tangli thought about the possibilities ahead, her smile deepened.
"Who would dare to take on a woman abandoned by the royal family?"
Even if she is her biological daughter, so what? She will still be lonely and helpless, and suffer scorn from others for the rest of her life!
Song Tangxue had no idea that Song Tangli had such a plan.
She soon entered the palace, where Empress Cheng was also present.
She seemed to be in a good mood, perhaps because the prince had recently gained popularity and was gradually overshadowing the crown prince.
"Greetings to Father Emperor and Mother Empress! May Father Emperor and Mother enjoy boundless blessings and peace!"
Song Tangxue composed herself and bowed respectfully, while the Emperor's expression was somewhat solemn.
He seemed to be struggling with whether it was right to abandon such a daughter-in-law.
"Get up quickly. I have summoned you here today because there is an important matter I would like to discuss with you."
However, after speaking, he looked at the Empress with a puzzled expression: "Didn't the Empress summon the Crown Prince?"
"Your Majesty, I have already gone to look for him, but the Crown Prince has been very busy lately, and perhaps he was delayed on his journey."
She's trying to sow discord between the Emperor and the Emperor. If she had really sent someone to look for him, they should have come along already.
Song Tangxue understood the Empress's thoughts, but did not expose them.
The emperor also sighed deeply, as if he was not in a good mood.
He didn't answer Empress Cheng, but instead looked at Song Tangxue with a look of pity, so he avoided her gaze.
"Give the Crown Princess a seat."
"Thank you, Father Emperor." Song Tangxue thanked him politely, then sat down to the side and silently waited for Li Zhaoxian.
Li Zhaoxian arrived shortly afterward, but her gaze was somewhat vacant, and the strong scent of perfume emanating from her body made people frown.
Even when he speaks, he doesn't have the same energy as before.
"Greetings, Father Emperor and Mother Empress." Li Zhaoxian arrived with the same luggage, but he seemed to be in slightly poor spirits.
The emperor squinted and quickly understood what was going on.
"The Crown Princess has failed in her duty; why should the Crown Prince be allowed to act so recklessly?"
He suddenly spoke up and asked a question, without even telling Li Zhaoxian to rise.
Knowing he was guilty, Li Zhaoxian quickly kowtowed and begged for forgiveness.
