The Third Prince had long held a grudge, so how could he not be resentful that he was treated this way, especially for the sake of a mere outsider!
But now he dares not speak out against his anger, knowing full well that even if he holds a high position and great power, he is still no match for Song Tangxue.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. I am like a walking corpse now, how could I possibly pose a threat?"
The Third Prince spoke with great sorrow, and after finishing, he gave a bitter smile, as if he were extremely helpless.
In the Emperor's eyes, he seemed to have truly repented, otherwise he wouldn't have acted this way.
He naturally didn't want to believe that his brother would be so cunning, especially towards him.
So his previously unpleasant expression has finally improved, and that's why he spoke.
"It's getting late, you should get some rest too, there are important things to do tomorrow."
After the emperor finished speaking, he turned and left, unaware that the Third Prince was already being targeted by someone.
After returning from the palace, Lee So-hyeon drank alone here in silence.
He didn't even seek out any beautiful women to accompany him, which is really unlike him.
After hearing the news, Song Tangli hesitated and was unsure what to do, so she asked Xiaoyao.
"The Crown Prince needs guidance right now. Should I be his confidante, or should I stay out of the way to avoid being implicated..."
Of course, she wanted to put on a good show in front of the Crown Prince.
But I'm afraid Li Zhaoxian is currently furious, and if I go there, I'll just be walking into his trap, and it will be a loss for me.
Xiaoyao already had an idea, and immediately replied after listening.
"That Third Prince would occasionally glance at the two emperors, especially his elder brother, with a hint of resentment. There must be a story behind it all."
As Xiaoyao spoke, Song Tangli listened attentively, and these bad guys naturally had a tacit understanding.
She quickly understood what was going on and said with a bright look in her eyes.
"You mean you want to tell the Crown Prince that joining forces with this Third Prince might achieve unexpected results?"
Perhaps it will truly kill two birds with one stone, not only consolidating her own position but also helping the Crown Prince achieve great things!
As Song Tangli spoke, she was already excited. Of course, she was happy to see such a good thing happen.
Li Zhaoxian and she are now in the same boat, their fates are naturally intertwined, and she also has to plan for Li Zhaoxian's position.
Xiaoyao and Song Tangli understood each other perfectly. She smiled and nodded, and the Crown Princess immediately understood and quickly spoke.
"Quickly prepare a hangover soup, I'll send it over right away!"
Li Zhaoxian was still drinking alone when Song Tangli arrived.
"Didn't I tell you? No one is allowed to enter. Why did you still come?"
Upon seeing Song Tangli again, Li Zhaoxian was somewhat embarrassed and angry, but in reality, he was just taking the opportunity to vent his anger.
Song Tangli could easily tell, but she didn't care about that and immediately brought out the hangover soup.
"Your Majesty knows what is troubling you, and I have a good plan to offer. I wonder what Your Majesty's thoughts are?"
Li Zhaoxian was extremely impatient, but he was stunned when he heard this and looked at Song Tangli in surprise.
The latter stood confidently before me, holding a bowl of hangover soup in his hand.
After a moment's thought, he took the cup and drank it all in one gulp, giving Song Tangli face, and then asked.
"Just tell me your plan, and let me hear if it's appropriate."
"I wonder if Your Highness noticed the Third Prince today? His relationship with their monarch is not good. Is it possible to take advantage of this?"
Song Tangli didn't hide anything and spoke directly.
After speaking, he pointed to the bright moon outside the window with his long, slender fingers.
"Now it is a dark and windy night, and Lord Liu, the manager of the post station, has been favored by you in the past and now has no way to repay you."
Lee So-hyeon was too preoccupied with resentment and jealousy to notice any of this.
But after listening, he thought about it and realized that perhaps this was another way to go!
"Having you is truly a blessing from heaven!"
Li Zhaoxian suddenly became excited, stood up, and looked seriously at Song Tangli.
Song Tangli might have been extremely excited to hear these things in the past, but now she could only sneer inwardly.
The Crown Prince has changed a lot. He is not only obsessed with beautiful women, but he is also no longer as intelligent as before. However, she has no choice but to help him.
Having thought of all this, Song Tangli could only nod, feigning emotion.
"With your words, I would gladly die for you!"
"We already have a child, and the best days are yet to come. Don't say such unlucky things. I will definitely treat you well!"
After saying that, Li Zhaoxian hugged Song Tangli tightly, putting on a loving scene.
Song Tangli replied, "I understand, and I will certainly do my utmost for you!"
She appropriately expressed her unwavering loyalty, which made Lee So-hyeon even more satisfied.
Even within the solemn and majestic imperial palace, Empress Cheng had her own games.
"Xie Qianzhong is your father's most trusted minister, and now with Song Tangxue by his side, the two can be considered a powerful alliance."
"Mother, Song Tangxue has gotten a great deal. If it were me, I would never marry someone else's divorced wife."
Li Zhaoyun, however, was dismissive. He was filled with arrogance, a quality stemming from his social status.
Upon hearing this, Empress Cheng immediately became somewhat angry at their lack of ambition.
"Look at what you're saying, you're really stupid. Her good days are yet to come."
However, as soon as she finished speaking, the nanny next to her lowered her head and whispered a reminder to Empress Cheng that she had gone off-topic.
She then realized what was happening, composed herself, and continued speaking.
"I'm telling you this not so you can take a stand, but to tell you that we must now bring Xie Qianzhong into our ranks!"
"Your subject naturally knows this, but you also know that this is a tough nut to crack. In the court, who can get Xie Qianzhong to take sides?"
Li Zhaoyun was a chosen one of heaven, but now he also admits his incompetence.
He truly did not want to do this, but Xie Qianzhong was already difficult to deal with, and even more difficult to win over.
Empress Cheng naturally understood the situation. After hearing this, she remained silent for a moment, but soon spoke.
"As long as you are determined to become the crown prince, I will definitely help you achieve great things!"
Everyone has their own calculations now, and Li Zhaoxian arrived at the post station under the cover of night.
The Third Prince was alone in a courtyard, heavily guarded by soldiers.
Now is the time when he is suffering greatly, so he is under heavy protection, and no one dares to listen closely.
Finally it was over. He looked like a dying man. Although he felt like he had come back to life, his face was extremely pale.
The Third Prince's servants dared not disturb him easily, but since the Crown Prince was standing outside, they naturally had to announce his presence.
