The ladies around blushed slightly as they recalled Song Tangli's appearance in the Seven Stars Alignment.
Song Tangli's nails dug into her flesh, leaving a bloody mess. She couldn't... she couldn't let Song Tangxue say it. When she came to her senses, she learned of her outburst from the maid.
He even dared to beg for pleasure with that shameless Feng Feicui, which was utterly disgraceful. If this got out, all the reputation he had painstakingly built would be ruined.
If her reputation is ruined, the position of Crown Princess will have nothing to do with her anymore.
"Never mind, Crown Prince, I believe my sister didn't do it on purpose, and I didn't mean it either." Song Tangli placed her hand lightly on Li Zhaoxian's arm and whispered sweetly in his ear.
"You still won't let me say it?" Song Tangxue looked at her as if she were a clown.
Song Tangli was filled with hatred. She absolutely could not let Song Tangxue ruin her reputation. She wanted to sit in the position of Crown Princess with a clean conscience.
She will make Song Tangxue pay the price for what she did today!
The next second, tears welled up in Song Tangli's eyes again, and she looked like she was being forced: "I clearly didn't do that, why are you slandering me, sister? I clearly didn't do anything..."
"Am I wrong to even stand here? I've knelt down before you, sister. Please don't blame me, sister. Please give Ali some space, okay?"
"Ali will never make her older sister angry again..."
Song Tangli's graceful body was caught by Li Zhaoxian as she lunged forward: "It's clearly not your fault. If anyone should kneel, it should be Song Tangxue kneeling down to apologize to you."
Song Tangli brushed his hand away and stubbornly knelt down on the ground: "Cough cough cough... It's all my fault, I have to kneel, sister, all the faults are mine, sister please don't blame His Highness the Crown Prince, it was all my own decision."
Li Zhaoxian forcefully pulled her hand and stood up. Song Tangli, her eyes blurry with tears, shrank back but still looked at Song Tangxue.
Li Zhaoxian, seeing that Song Tangxue remained unmoved, was burning with anger: "Song Tangxue," he called out in a deep voice.
Song Tangxue was still enjoying Song Tangli's timidity. She wanted to destroy Song Tangli herself, because that would be more interesting, as she would block all her own way out.
"You've been bullying Ali just because you're of high status! I'm going to divorce you today!" Not hearing Song Tangxue's reply, Li Zhaoxian was blinded by anger and, in desperation, used the words he had used to threaten her.
Song Tangxue's expression suddenly froze, and she looked up at Li Zhaoxian in disbelief.
Noticing Song Tangxue's change, Li Zhaoxian assumed she was still reluctant to let go, and his own loss of control subsided somewhat: "But if you kneel down now..."
"Is there really such a good thing?" Song Tangxue's eyes sparkled. If it came true, there would be an unexpected surprise. For the first time, she disregarded the rules and interrupted Li Zhaoxian.
Li Zhaoxian's words to make her apologize to Song Tangli stuck in her throat. The joy on Song Tangxue's face seemed genuine, as if she really wanted to leave without any hesitation and didn't care at all.
"Do you need me to get you some paper and pen? We have some excellent Luoyang paper here!" Song Tangxue hurriedly took a few steps forward and instructed Haitang to fetch the things.
Li Zhaoxian choked on his words, and for a moment he even thought that he could just give her the divorce papers.
But then he thought of the imperial edict on Song Tangxue's body, and the emperor's stern face pressed heavily against his heart; he dared not.
He looked at Song Tangxue with a cold gaze. He knew why Song Tangxue was so fearless. Did she think he wouldn't dare to do it?
"You're divorcing me today, and from now on we'll go our separate ways!" Song Tangxue stared into Li Zhaoxian's eyes and saw the familiar fear in them.
"You know this is impossible. Are you joking about the imperial edict?" Li Zhaoxian said irritably.
"Didn't you say that first?" Song Tangxue pressed closer, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
"Oh my, why is it so lively here again?" A frivolous voice came from afar, the voice arriving before the person.
Song Tangli's body stiffened, clearly also remembering the object of her wanton pursuit.
Surprisingly, there was another person beside Feng Feicui, Xie Qianzhong, who stood silently beside her dressed in black.
When Song Tangxue saw him, Xie Qianzhong also glanced at her. Their eyes met briefly in the air before looking away.
They were like complete strangers.
"I could hear it from afar. Cousin Crown Prince, you really need to rein in your temper." Feng Feicui has always been a rascal, unreliable and irresponsible, but with the Empress Dowager backing him up, no one can do anything about him.
Li Zhaoxian disliked his behavior the most, and immediately gave a cold laugh.
“Oh dear, you’re so aloof, but the person you hold dear in your heart is anything but aloof, they’re very warm. You two complement each other perfectly.” Feng Feicui stood idly, leaning lazily against a crabapple tree in full bloom.
Upon hearing this, Li Zhaoxian immediately looked over and frowned: "What nonsense are you spouting?"
Feng Feicui looked coldly at the person hiding behind Li Zhaoxian: "I'm talking about Miss Song the Second. Isn't she the apple of your eye? You're blaming your own Crown Princess for a harlot like her."
Li Zhaoxian warned with a dark expression, "Feng Feicui, don't talk nonsense!"
"If it's not just nonsense, does that mean you can say whatever you want? Miss Song tried to seduce one of my Emerald Manor's guards but failed, so she tried to force herself on him and threw herself onto the Seven Stars Alignment next door. Is this all a lie?"
Like a thunderclap from a clear sky, everyone was shocked by the amount of information contained in these words. They disregarded the fact that Li Zhaoxian was still present and began to whisper among themselves.
Song Tangli was completely panicked and whispered in her defense, "What are you talking about?"
Hearing Song Tangli's rebuttal, Li Zhaoxian's face darkened even more: "Is this what you call not talking nonsense?"
Feng Feicui: "Miss Song really won't shed tears until she sees the coffin, and Cousin Crown Prince is indeed as affectionate and righteous as rumored."
"Xiao Yao, come out here and tell His Highness the Crown Prince how Miss Song has been harassing you. Today, I will stand up for you!"
The guard whose name was called froze, taking a deep breath.
Fine, considering the high monthly salary at Emerald Manor, I'll give it my all!
With a determined look, Xiao Yao emerged from the shadows, her face somber, revealing no trace of her inner turmoil: "Miss Song came to see me, touched my arm, and even put her hand inside my clothes... I refused..."
As if he had been greatly insulted, Xiao Yao's face flushed slightly, and he spoke haltingly. In reality, he didn't know how to make up a story; he was just an innocent young man.
Li Zhaoxian suddenly raised his hand: "Enough, stop talking."
As if rescued, Xiao Yao shrank back into the shadows, becoming her own shadow.
