Without a foolproof plan, Song Tangxue was naturally unwilling to take the risk.
"Instead of just trying to relieve the itch from the outside and then hastily dealing with it after it flares up, it's better to eradicate it completely. You did the right thing this time."
Xie Qianzhong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he did not forget to praise Song Tangxue.
Song Tangxue finally understood his good intentions at noon today.
Thinking back to this, Song Tangxue felt a little embarrassed, realizing that she had been even more ungrateful and harsh at the time.
But now that I've thought all of this through, I realize that Xie Qianzhong was right.
"I'm sorry for being so mean to you at noon today, but now I realize you were right."
Song Tangxue spoke truthfully, her gaze fixed earnestly on Xie Qianzhong, filled with sincerity.
Xie Qianzhong heard this and felt warm inside.
He hugged Song Tangxue tightly and whispered, "Silly girl, there's no need to apologize to me. Sometimes you can't figure things out right now, but as long as you change your perspective, everything will become clear."
Song Tangxue was stuck in a rut and hadn't thought things through.
But more than anything, anger blinded her.
Song Tangxue sighed deeply. Life is a process of self-cultivation, and one must slowly overcome one hurdle after another.
She thought she had done well in the past, but now she realizes there is still much to learn.
Li Zhaoxian lost face in the palace, and he felt his cheeks were burning red.
Being humiliated to his face, how could the crown prince possibly save face?
Enraged, he rushed back to the temple as fast as he could.
Song Tangli was already prepared to take on his anger.
"You shameless woman! How could you be so mistaken about something so important! I have truly lost face today!"
As soon as Li Zhaoxian entered, he spoke angrily.
Just as Song Tangxue was about to speak, Empress Cheng had already been waiting for her chance to act.
Li Zhaoxian's actions were exactly what she wanted.
"How dare you!" Empress Cheng suddenly appeared and said sternly.
Li Zhaoxian was extremely angry and embarrassed, but when he saw Empress Cheng coming over, he could only suppress his anger and bow.
Empress Cheng did not pay him any attention. Instead, she walked up to him and reprimanded him with the air of an empress.
"As the Crown Prince, how could you behave so immorally? Aren't you afraid of what people will say?"
Li Zhaoxian dared not speak out in anger, as his earlier rage had long since vanished, and he could only reply.
"Your subject was too angry and has already realized his mistake."
Empress Cheng looked at him and spoke with even greater seriousness.
"Let it go today, but don't embarrass the Crown Princess again in the future. She has just lost her child, her first legitimate son, and her pain is no less than yours."
Empress Cheng appeared to be helping Song Tangxue, but in reality, she was only adding fuel to the fire.
Every word he said pierced Li Zhaoxian's heart.
However, due to his status, Li Zhaoxian naturally couldn't say much.
He could only nod and say, "Yes."
Empress Cheng was somewhat satisfied and then looked at Song Tangli beside her.
"The Crown Prince was just too angry, and he just lost his child. Of course he's sad. Don't take it to heart."
Song Tangli saw through all of the Empress's tricks, but of course dared not say anything.
She could only nod, speaking in an exceptionally obedient manner.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand. This matter has troubled you greatly, Mother."
"As long as you are all well, all my efforts are worthwhile. Don't do this again."
Empress Cheng nodded in satisfaction, played the good person again, and then left.
Once again, only the two of them remained in the room, and Li Zhaoxian was still angry.
However, since the Empress had not gone far, he could not retaliate again.
"I'll remember this incident. Just you wait and see!"
His meaning was clear, but it seems that the affection between the couple is completely gone.
Song Tangli was naturally upset. This was not what she had expected. Apart from losing the child, everything else was as she had hoped.
Even though she was very upset, Song Tangli didn't dare to show it.
Instead, she still had that pitiful look on her face and said in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, I truly know my mistake, but I know that saying more now is useless. I will make amends through my actions!"
This seemingly sincere reply was met with disdain by Li Zhaoxian, who sneered and turned away.
After that day, until Song Tangli left to return to the Crown Prince's residence to recuperate after childbirth, Li Zhaoxian did not appear again.
Song Tangxue listened as Meng Youyu recounted the latest events that had occurred.
"The Crown Prince never gives her a kind look, especially since the Emperor has given the Empress's son a lot of political affairs, which makes the Crown Prince even more furious."
As Meng Youyu spoke, she felt extremely relieved!
"Furthermore, the people in the Crown Prince's residence have become snobbish. Now that he has so many concubines and the Crown Princess has fallen out of favor, I've heard that even the meals are now always cold soup."
"How could she have fallen to such a state?"
After hearing these words, Song Tangxue could hardly believe it.
Song Tangli finally climbed to a high place, but she never expected that losing a child would bring her back to square one.
Meng Youyu noticed Song Tangxue's stunned expression, but smiled and said something.
"Don't you understand these things? Servants are the best at reading faces and changing their tune with the wind."
Whenever someone is down on their luck, they will be put in the most difficult position possible.
However, after saying that, Meng Youyu clapped her hands.
She had been eating sunflower seeds, but now she has stopped and started talking again.
"But how are you and Lord Xie doing now?"
“We’ve always been on good terms, and he really stood up for me back then, which touched me deeply.”
Song Tangxue spoke her mind and smiled knowingly. Thinking of the scene at that time, she felt it was something she would remember for the rest of her life!
Seeing this, Meng Youyu felt relieved: "It's getting late, so I'll head back now. We can talk again another day."
"Why don't you stay at my residence for a while?" Song Tangxue extended an invitation directly, but Meng Youyu refused.
Meng Youyu didn't want to stay here, and quickly said so.
"Your mother is like a smiling tiger; she's a completely different person since before. As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face, and this makes it hard for me to adapt."
It's not as good as before. At least before, if Song's mother didn't do well on the surface, they could retort.
Hearing Meng Youyu say this, Song Tangxue couldn't very well try to stop her, so she could only nod and say, "Then I'll see you out."
But you really can't talk about people behind their backs. I just mentioned Song's mother, and as soon as I finished speaking, Song's mother appeared.
She had long lost her former sharpness and now greeted everyone with a smile.
"Why don't you talk more? It's not easy for the girls to get together, so we should cherish it."
"I have said everything I needed to say. Thank you, Auntie."
Meng Youyu scoffed inwardly, feeling particularly disgusted, but still answered.
