Chapter 368 The Emperor's Shortcomings



She knew this was a troublesome opponent, and she had to eliminate him completely.

As long as this carefree existence continues, Song Tangli will have several more layers of protection.

“This woman must get out as soon as possible, by any means necessary. Everything Song Tangli has now depends on Xiaoyao. Once she is removed, Song Tangli will be ruined.”

Song Tangxue spoke up, and as soon as she finished speaking, she wanted Xie Qianzhong to help her make some arrangements.

She is a doctor; she not only treats illnesses and saves lives, but also knows how to make people die silently.

But before Song Tangxue could even speak, Xie Qianzhong understood her meaning and said directly.

"I'm afraid I can't help you with this. There are spies in the court, and we need to follow the clues to find them."

Those whose shady dealings have already been discovered should not be alerted; instead, the investigation should continue.

Song Tangxue hadn't expected him to have such a plan, but since that was the case, she wouldn't force him.

After listening, he nodded and said with a smile.

"Well, then I'll listen to you. Your matter is more important, but I wonder how His Majesty intends to resolve it."

Song Tangxue was very curious about the Emperor's attitude towards this matter.

If this had happened in the past, troops would probably have already been dispatched.

This time, the Emperor not only exercised extreme restraint, but also silenced all those in the know, refusing to let any word out.

It was obvious that he didn't want to be talked about by the public and make people think that he was an incompetent king.

"His Majesty is getting old, and he must be afraid of damaging his reputation."

Xie Qianzhong was already used to this; it was a common problem among monarchs.

The closer it gets to the end, the more they pay attention to their reputation, fearing it might jeopardize their lasting fame.

Song Tangxue didn't want to think about these things anymore: "These things make my head spin every day, let's not think about them anymore, let's go eat something delicious."

Love and good food are the only things we should never miss.

Song Tangxue was unwilling to let these people ruin her good mood for the whole day.

Xie Qianzhong had no problem with it, and he took Song Tangxue with him and left.

Song Tangli was already feeling increasingly guilty, and she couldn't sleep that night.

"This might work for a while, but what will happen after that period is over?"

She was filled with melancholy, and looked at Xiaoyao again.

“My mother is no pushover. She’ll probably stay here obediently for two or three days and then be helped over.”

Song Tangli knew her mother very well.

Now, the more I think about it, the more upset I get, fearing that things won't end well.

Xiaoyao naturally saw all of this, but said nothing.

"Besides this, do you have any other good ideas?"

She was exceptionally calm and collected, but after she finished speaking, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.

“We’ve spared his life, but if Madam Song is really stubborn and keeps coming over here, then you can only blame this servant for being impolite.”

Song Tangli was truly surprised that Xiaoyao had such a plan, and her expression changed upon hearing it.

She never imagined she would take Song's mother's life; she used her as she pleased.

Xiaoyao seemed to have noticed this as well, and then added.

"Don't ruin your life's most important matter because of a moment of weakness. Can't you tell which is more important?"

Song Tangli felt a splitting headache; she had never really thought about these things before.

Although he used the other party to his fullest extent, he never thought of taking their life.

"Now that you are the Crown Princess, your indecisiveness is your greatest weakness."

Xiaoyao continued, revealing herself to be a formidable character, able to speak of these things with such nonchalance.

It was as if he had murderous intent towards a tiny ant, not towards Song's mother.

Song Tangli really didn't expect that Xiaoyao had such a plan, but after listening to it, she could only speak first.

"If she's determined to die, there's nothing I can do. Everyone looks out for themselves!"

Song Tangli, of course, had no change of heart and was still thinking only of herself; her interests were the most important thing.

After saying that, he looked at Xiaoyao again.

"But even though you have such a plan, don't rush to make arrangements now. If things don't work out, think of a way to get rid of her."

"That depends on whether the lady has such good fortune and whether she is clear-headed."

Once Xiaoyao sets his mind on killing, it's hard to change it, so this is Song's mother's last chance.

Song's mother had no idea that she had actually raised a wolf cub.

She was indeed resting in bed today, but the next day, she had a cane arranged for her and her attendants followed her around at all times.

"This is a soup that your mother watched them cook. The timing and heat were just right. It will definitely be good for your health."

Song's mother reappeared, showing off her masterpiece of the day as if presenting a treasure.

After she finished speaking, she went on to introduce the precious medicinal herbs inside.

Song Tangli had long since lost all patience, and she never expected that she would be back in action so quickly.

"Mother, the imperial physician just came and said that I need to rest quietly for the time being, and that I should get more rest. I am also feeling tired now."

Song Tangli looked quite haggard as she spoke, and she also had dark circles under her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Song's mother naturally cooperated fully and nodded in agreement.

"Well, in that case, Mother, you should go back first. Let them keep these warm on the small stove."

After saying this, Song's mother began to give further instructions, but unexpectedly, Xiaoyao entered at this moment.

Xiaoyao didn't actually say anything; she just stood to the side, looking just like a servant.

Given Song's noble status, why would she stop for a mere maid?

After arranging everything and giving a few more instructions, he left.

Xiaoyao already understood, and stepped forward.

"Madam is quite insistent. I wonder what the Crown Princess is thinking?"

She left the choice to Song Tangli, wanting to see what she thought.

Song Tangli was actually just feeling upset and confused, but she never expected it to turn out like this.

She didn't want to say anything more, so she could only preach.

"Help me up and walk around a bit, my bones are about to break."

Song Tangli spoke first, and then extended her slender hand.

Xiaoyao did not refuse, and Song Tangli then got up as well, but went to the mirror instead.

"I've been extra careful these past two days, but this hair loss is still incredibly relentless..."

She didn't even dare to touch it anymore, but her hair seemed to be under some kind of command, just like in autumn, some leaves are bound to fall.

Hair is like dry autumn leaves, falling off automatically when the time comes.

Song Tangli murmured to herself, while Xiaoyao said, "In my heart, you have always been the most beautiful, no matter what you look like!"

Xiaoyao spoke with absolute certainty this time, which made Song Tangli smile with satisfaction, and she directly grasped Xiaoyao's hand.

"Thank goodness you were here, protecting me."
