"What's wrong? You don't look well."
Xie Qianzhong noticed something was wrong as soon as he saw Song Tangxue.
Feeling agitated, Song Tangxue didn't want to talk, so she simply shook her head and silently entered the carriage.
Xie Qianzhong found it even stranger, but he didn't say anything and followed them.
After getting into the carriage, Song Tangxue didn't speak, so Xie Qianzhong didn't ask any further questions and just silently stayed by her side.
Meanwhile, Song Tangli was also preparing to set off. Such an auspicious day naturally required her careful planning.
"The man has already made arrangements and is hiding in the backyard."
Just then, Xiaoyao came over and whispered something in his ear.
Song Tangli smiled with satisfaction but did not speak.
Li Zhaoxian also came. He looked quite well these past two days and hadn't been indulging in lust.
Instead, he gradually took over the administration of state affairs and secretly established contact with the Third Prince.
"Your Highness, I have made all the arrangements over there. The show will begin tonight!"
Song Tangxue shared this good news, and Li Zhaoxian nodded with great satisfaction upon hearing it.
"You'll handle this matter perfectly. Let's get going."
He had to watch Song Tangxue fall from a great height into the mud with his own eyes!
After a moment of silence, Song Tangxue looked at Xie Qianzhong.
"I'm sorry, I was in a bad mood just now, so I didn't pay attention to you."
Song Tangxue finally spoke, and Xie Qianzhong was not angry. Instead, he smiled calmly and asked directly.
"What happened that made you so angry? Can you tell me?"
“I know my parents are being hypocritical. They just got tired of their act around me, so I finally broke off all pretense.”
Song Tangxue spoke truthfully, and at the end, she even felt particularly mocked, so she let out a cold laugh.
Xie Qianzhong understood this; it was only a matter of time.
"If you don't like them, just stop associating with them. Don't make things difficult for yourself; holding in your anger is bad for your health."
Song Tangxue naturally understood this principle, but she still sighed.
He didn't speak again, as if he were mediating on his own.
Xie Qianzhong saw all of this, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he sat down quietly beside her and gave her a gentle hug.
A smile finally appeared on Song Tangxue's face; perhaps it was this embrace that made her feel better.
"If things could stay like this forever, we wouldn't have to worry about anything and could just stay here quietly."
Song Tangxue suddenly spoke up, and Xie Qianzhong replied earnestly, "Yes."
Unbeknownst to the two, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess had unknowingly laid a trap for them, waiting for them to walk right into it.
Finally arriving at the temple, Song Tangxue met the abbot.
“Amitabha, it has been quite some time since I last saw you, female benefactor.”
"Thank you for your concern, Master. I have been very busy lately and have not had time to come. I have come today to fulfill my vow."
Song Tangxue answered, and then added another sentence.
"I would like to stay here for a couple of days. I hope you can make the arrangements."
The abbot readily agreed and then left.
The abbot understood that Song Tangxue never wanted anyone to follow her when she came here.
Xie Qianzhong accompanied Song Tangxue to the main hall to fulfill their vow.
It was unexpected that the moment he stepped inside, the young novice monk and some guards appeared there.
"All irrelevant people, please leave. The Crown Prince and Crown Princess will be here soon; we must not disturb them!"
The head guard addressed the crowd in the hall directly.
The people nearby quickly left, naturally not wanting to get into trouble.
Song Tangxue knew that it was not that simple; how could such a coincidence happen?
"It seems they're after me," Song Tangxue said softly, a fact that Xie Qianzhong could easily discern.
He calmly replied, "You stay here for now, I'll go say hello to them."
Of course they cannot leave, as they have not yet fulfilled their vows.
Xie Qianzhong went over and saw that the fierce-looking guard from before had instantly become bowing and scraping.
And so they stayed there as a matter of course, with Song Tangxue ignoring the changes happening around her.
She and Xie Qianzhong knelt before the hall and solemnly kowtowed to express their gratitude.
"Thank you, Buddha, for your blessing that I have found my beloved. May Buddha be merciful and protect us for all eternity."
Song Tangxue thought to herself, but as soon as she finished speaking, an incredulous voice came from behind her.
"What a coincidence, I didn't expect to see you here today."
Song Tangli exclaimed in surprise, pretending to know nothing about it.
Song Tangxue was not surprised at all. She did not rush to answer, but waited until she finished kowtowing before bowing to the Buddha.
Xie Qianzhong did the same thing. After they finished doing all that, they stood up and looked at the newcomer.
Lee So-hyeon was also there, and his gaze was not friendly; he even spoke directly.
"No wonder the Left Prime Minister is on leave today; it turns out he has a date with a beautiful woman."
Xie Qianzhong wouldn't tolerate him. Hearing the sarcasm in his words, he retorted directly.
"In such a solemn and dignified place, I hope Your Highness will behave with propriety."
Upon hearing this, Li Zhaoxian's face grew even uglier, but he dared not utter a word of anger.
He was such a coward; he could only curse inwardly, but dared not offend Xie Qianzhong.
"Yes, thank you for the reminder, Prime Minister."
After Li Zhaoxian finished speaking, he quickly changed to a gentle look and looked at Song Tangli.
"Let's get pregnant soon, thank Buddha for granting our wish!"
As he spoke, he even glanced at Song Tangxue, the meaning of which was all too obvious.
He was furious but dared not express it, so he could only secretly retaliate against Song Tangxue.
Song Tangxue did not speak, but simply stood there, not even giving them a second glance.
After the two approached, Song Tangxue glanced directly at Xie Qianzhong.
Xie Qianzhong led her away, and the two of them left the hustle and bustle behind to a small Zen temple.
"If I had known they would come, I would never have come. I should have made sure to avoid them."
Song Tangxue felt rather unlucky and spoke frankly.
Xie Qianzhong remained calm and said directly, "We both know why they came here. Don't overthink it. We'll deal with whatever comes our way."
Song Tangxue, however, sensed something was amiss: "Song Tangli never does anything unprepared and always likes to plan ahead. From the moment she made the decision to now, only a few days have passed, yet she has already planned everything. I'm afraid it's not that simple."
Perhaps a huge conspiracy is waiting for him.
"With me here, any trickery will be thwarted."
