Haitang replied with considerable disdain, but she was actually very concerned, otherwise she wouldn't have acted that way.
After hearing this, Song Tangxue could only smile helplessly.
She understood Lianzhi's thoughts, of course.
But the next second, Lianzhi actually appeared in front of them.
Her face showed anxiety, and as soon as she saw Song Tangxue, she immediately spoke.
"Madam, something is definitely not right. I really can't sit still any longer!"
It seems that Lianzhi wants to explain the situation.
Haitang was stunned for a moment, then quickly went up to support her.
"Even if you wanted to come, you should have told me beforehand so we could come together. It's dangerous for you to wander around outside alone like this!"
As she spoke, Song Tangxue added, "You're still not fully recovered, so you need someone to take care of you wherever you go."
Lianzhi nodded seriously after hearing this, but then added.
"I have come here today because of the matter concerning the Crown Princess."
"Just say what you have to say, we'd like to hear it."
Song Tangxue answered directly, while Lian Zhi immediately spoke up.
"The deaths of these maids are suspicious. Why would someone close to the Crown Princess act so suspiciously?"
"Even I think so. This time it seems like she's covering something up. She has a secret she's afraid of being discovered."
Haitang nodded in strong agreement, but Song Tangxue said, "Let Lianzhi continue."
Upon hearing this, Lianzhi gave a somewhat awkward smile and said helplessly.
"Actually, this is all I know, and I thought I'd come and let you know."
"That's enough. Don't worry, I've sent people to investigate. Just focus on getting better."
Song Tangxue understood Lianzhi's good intentions, but then she advised against it.
Lianzhi could only nod: "Yes, this servant will definitely take good care of myself and will never hold you back. I will come back to serve you as soon as possible."
"It seems you know you're not fully recovered yet, but you still ran out. I'll help you back now."
Haitang was a stubborn but soft-hearted fellow. As she spoke, she helped Lianzhi up and prepared to go back to rest.
Song Tangxue also said, "Just rest easy. I'll tell you if anything happens. Don't overthink it."
"Yes, then this servant will take her leave."
This time, Lianzhi wasn't in such a hurry as before; instead, she left calmly.
Song Tangxue stood still, deep in thought.
Lianzhi didn't even know about Song's mother's foot injury yet, but she was already speaking with such conviction.
If they knew, the matter would likely be a foregone conclusion.
But this also proves that the Crown Prince's residence is now a mess.
Xie Qianzhong returned and went to the palace, where he seemed to have encountered something good.
"You seem to be in a good mood. Did the Emperor say something that pleased you?"
"Nothing can be hidden from your eyes, but what I'm about to tell you might surprise you."
Xie Qianzhong began to speak, and after finishing, he sat down to the side, calm and composed.
Upon hearing this, Song Tangxue realized it must be something serious.
"Tell me what it is, don't make me guess!"
"The Emperor has already decided to depose the Crown Prince, and Li Zhaoxian's position is now in grave danger."
Xie Qianzhong didn't hide anything and told Song Tangxue directly.
"The Empress has finally turned the tables after many years, and this matter will be kept secret for the time being."
The court is already in some turmoil, and the emperor fears that this will only make things worse, so he has decided to keep it a secret for the time being.
Song Tangxue had thought this day would come, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.
She was somewhat taken aback, and after listening, she realized that things were not that simple.
"Rome wasn't built in a day, but the Emperor's decision seems so sudden. What did the Crown Prince do to make him give up completely?"
Song Tangxue was naturally puzzled. They thought they knew the Emperor quite well, but they couldn't figure out the reasons behind his actions.
Xie Qianzhong understood and calmly replied.
"The Emperor is the Son of Heaven, and what he fears most is anyone threatening his position, not even his own son. His secret collusion with the Third Prince has probably already been discovered."
"The Crown Prince's residence must have the Emperor's spies; it seems they've really found something to use against him."
When Song Tangxue said these words, it didn't seem surprising.
The Emperor hates nothing more than collusion between insiders and outsiders, yet Li Zhaoxian insisted on provoking it. Now that his scheme has been exposed, he is bound to fail.
Xie Qianzhong thought it was a good thing: "If Li Zhaoyun takes this position, it would be decent, at least better than him."
"As long as we can live with our conscience, that's enough."
Song Tangxue then continued speaking, and she spoke with great seriousness.
She hoped that Xie Qianzhong would always put people first, and that he would know this in his heart.
"Silly boy, you don't need to remind me of these things. What you need to do is to find out all these dirty tricks in the shadows."
"Something else really did happen, and you'll find it funny when you think about it." Song Tangxue recalled her mother's injury.
She then told Xie Qianzhong, who was not surprised at all.
"The Crown Princess is feeling guilty right now, and Madam Song just happens to offer herself up. In order to protect herself, she has no choice but to restrict her movements."
However, after Xie Qianzhong finished speaking, he told Song Tangxue.
"However, this is enough to prove that they actually had a civil war long ago, and Song Tangli was only being filial on the surface."
Song's mother was usually impeccable in her treatment of Song Tangli.
Although they each had their own ulterior motives, she did a good job of putting on a good show, and after all, she still owed them a debt of gratitude for being born.
Song Tangli's ability to maintain her position as the Crown Princess is also inseparable from the efforts of her father.
Now, Song Tangli is willing to seriously injure her mother for the sake of her secret.
"They're just ingrates. I thought of that a long time ago, but unfortunately they're still dreaming."
Song Tangxue was not surprised at all, and at the same time found it extremely ironic.
After she finished speaking, she continued her sermon.
"I'm afraid my parents are still dreaming that they can turn their lives around by relying on her two children."
Song Tangxue found it laughable; it was simply a pipe dream.
Xie Qianzhong, however, asked, "Those shops have all been finalized. When do you plan to open? Are you going to hold a sale?"
"Just open the door and welcome the patient directly; there's no need to treat them like the first one."
After Song Tangxue finished speaking, one thing became particularly clear.
"But this time no one is causing trouble. She can barely protect herself, so she doesn't have time to think about these things."
"Song Tangli is definitely no good, but isn't there a Jin woman by her side?"
Xie Qianzhong countered with a question, a reminder to Song Tangxue not to underestimate her opponent.
Song Tangxue had initially been dismissive, but upon hearing this, she fell silent.
