"It's almost time for the guards to change shifts, but have you really made all the arrangements? There doesn't seem to be anything unusual."
This was the first time Song Tangxue had ever done something like this, so she was naturally a little scared.
However, Xie Qianzhong only glanced at it and said casually.
"Let's go now."
After he finished speaking, he grabbed Song Tangxue and swaggered inside.
Song Tangxue was extremely surprised; this was not what she had expected at all.
She really never imagined it would turn out like this...
"I thought you would sneak away and catch me, but you just walked in so brazenly. Aren't you afraid of being discovered?!"
"What's there to worry about? These people would never betray us. Just relax. You can come and go as you please here."
Xie Qianzhong spoke calmly, as if coming here was as simple as going to buy groceries.
Song Tangxue was already stunned. It wasn't until she arrived outside the bedroom that she realized it was all real.
"No wonder the Emperor is so worried about you. You can come and go freely even from the Crown Prince's residence, let alone other places."
For the first time in her life, Song Tangxue actually felt sympathy for the Emperor.
With such a formidable demon at his disposal, the emperor was naturally terrified.
"If you keep talking, don't blame me for leaving you here."
Xie Qianzhong seemed to find Song Tangxue a bit noisy, so he directly warned her.
Song Tangxue wasn't afraid at all; instead, she snorted coldly.
Even if you had a hundred or eight times the courage, you wouldn't dare.
"You found out I was trying to scare you like that. Looks like I really am henpecked."
Xie Qianzhong surprisingly admitted it frankly this time, but after he finished speaking, Song Tangxue went straight to the point.
She quietly placed the scented tea she had prepared beforehand inside, and then mentally kept track of the time.
But now, feeling guilty, she kept glancing around.
Xie Qianzhong remained remarkably calm, a stark contrast to his composure.
Song Tangxue finally couldn't help but ask, puzzled.
"Aren't you afraid at all? She's quite capable after all; she always has her own people."
“Those people have all been taken into custody. I told you long ago that there are many of our people in the Crown Prince’s residence. It seems you underestimated their numbers.”
After Xie Qianzhong told her what had happened, Song Tangxue realized that the man in front of her was nothing short of a big bad wolf!
He had been playing dumb all along, never revealing his plans.
"They didn't even tell me beforehand, so I wouldn't have been so worried the whole way."
Song Tangxue couldn't help but complain, while Xie Qianzhong exclaimed that he felt wronged.
"I've told you this many times already, but you don't believe me. I don't have any good ideas."
Indeed, Song Tangxue couldn't believe it just now that they could enter the Crown Prince's residence in broad daylight.
She finally admitted her mistake and couldn't help but mutter something under her breath.
"It's because I'm too ignorant. I thought I had seen more, but I didn't expect you to be even more knowledgeable than me!"
Song Tangxue truly spoke from the bottom of her heart when she said those last words.
While the two were talking, no one came to disturb them.
She was also calculating the time in her mind, and then she said.
"Why don't you stay outside and I'll go in?"
"Okay, you go in first. If you notice anything unusual or are unsure how to handle it, just let me know."
Xie Qianzhong also answered seriously, and at this moment he finally showed some seriousness and affection.
Because this is the moment they are closest to the truth, it is natural to be much more serious.
Song Tangxue understood this principle, but after nodding, she didn't say anything more and quickly went inside.
As soon as she entered, she smelled not only her own calming fragrance, but also other spices.
"Pregnant women actually dare to use this; they must be terrified of ghosts knocking at their door at night..."
After looking at the incense burner, Song Tangxue knew what it was.
She was lucky to have prepared the antidote in advance, otherwise she might have been affected by these things and become drowsy.
After a careful inspection, Song Tangxue discovered many unusual things inside.
"This problem may be more serious than we imagined. These two children not only came through special methods, but Song Tangli herself is also almost going crazy."
She memorized all the evidence and then went out to tell Xie Qianzhong.
Xie Qianzhong was a little surprised; he hadn't expected Song Tangli to be on the verge of going crazy.
How do you know?
"The incense inside is all for calming the nerves and promoting sleep, but pregnant women cannot use it at all. Meanwhile, I found a backup medicine."
As Song Tangxue spoke, she took out a pill.
"This is something unique to other regions; we don't have it here at all. It's conceivable that this might be a huge conspiracy, and they want to drag the Crown Princess into it first!"
This was far more complicated than they had imagined, because it no longer involved their private disputes, but rather the politics of the court.
Xie Qianzhong, of course, knew best, but he didn't expect it to be like this. He first carefully examined the medicine.
However, he didn't understand medical principles, so he couldn't figure it out.
"Perhaps they want to disrupt the court, and at the same time try to lure the crown prince to the front line first."
Song Tangxue continued her analysis, saying that if the Crown Prince and Crown Princess both fell into the water, the court would surely be thrown into chaos.
Xie Qianzhong was of course aware of the seriousness of the situation, but after a moment of silence, he spoke.
"Put this thing back first, so as not to alert the enemy."
He never expected to have such an unexpected gain, especially one related to the current imperial court.
The opponent has really played a very sophisticated game, almost getting themselves caught in the trap!
Song Tangxue knew, of course, that personal grudges were no longer important; the matter of the court had to be clarified.
She nodded immediately: "Wait for me a moment, I'll go put it back right away."
Not long after, they had made all the arrangements and then left.
This time, however, the two were filled with mixed emotions on their way back, since the situation was different now.
Now that we know the situation, what are your plans for the future?
Song Tangxue broke the silence first, asking directly.
Xie Qianzhong replied with unusual calmness: "This matter is too important. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the first thing to do is to follow the clues and find the source."
See if we can discover more. Once we have solid evidence, we will submit it directly to the Emperor.
Song Tangxue was quite troubled; she hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
"We never expected this unexpected gain to be so overwhelming."
She suddenly spoke from the heart, resting her head on his shoulder.
"But I believe you can handle it, and we will bring the whole truth to light."
