Chapter 379 The Emperor Actually Agreed



She had great confidence in Xie Qianzhong.

Upon hearing this, Xie Qianzhong smiled calmly and said, "Then I can't let you down."

"Of course, you can definitely do it and thwart all these conspiracies."

Song Tangxue spoke with great seriousness; she believed in her husband.

Xie Qianzhong answered Song Tangxue with a gentle kiss on the forehead, everything was understood without words, they both knew what was going on.

Overnight, Song Tangli had no idea that her secrets had been exposed.

She had only just woken up, yet she was already preparing to scheme against others.

"I have planted a few spies in the Marquis's residence. Perhaps we can use this to turn their relationship against each other."

Song Tangli wanted to make things even more complicated for her family.

Xiaoyao listened attentively from the side without asking any questions.

"If the Crown Princess has something to do, that's naturally good, so she won't have to overthink things every day."

"Yes, the biggest challenge now is whether we can overcome it."

Song Tangli's answer was also exceptionally decisive, and she certainly knew where her problem lay.

But after he finished speaking, he looked at Xiaoyao with utmost seriousness.

"All of this must be done secretly, without anyone knowing. We absolutely cannot let them find out, or everything will be in vain."

They had already witnessed how formidable Song Tangxue was, so they needed to be extra careful.

"The court has been quite unstable lately. Even if she wanted to interfere, she has no help. We have nothing to fear."

Xiaoyao expressed his thoughts, but more so to comfort Song Tangli and tell her not to overthink it.

This time, Song Tangli could only sigh helplessly.

"Sigh, I wonder if the Crown Prince will personally lead the expedition this time."

She was somewhat uncertain; they all knew exactly how capable Li Zhaoxian was.

Even Song Tangli wasn't very optimistic, but Li Zhaoxian was unusually persistent at this moment.

"You'd better think this through carefully. There's no turning back once the arrow is released. If we end up being outdone by others, what will become of the court's reputation?"

The Emperor was also telling Li Zhaoxian that he was definitely not the best choice.

Li Zhaoxian, however, told the emperor: "I have been treated with such respect for many years, all of which comes from the people. Now that it is time to give back, I cannot back down!"

"In that case, you may set off immediately, but remember to be careful in everything you do and never fall into the enemy's trap."

The Emperor has said all he has to say. If he insists on something else, there's nothing I can do.

Moreover, if he were to fail, he would have even more reason to rightfully depose the crown prince.

Poor Li Zhaoxian was still putting on an act, unaware that the emperor had long wanted to depose him.

"Your subject obeys the decree and will certainly not fail in your mission, Father!"

"Go ahead. Since you're setting off, you should naturally say goodbye to the Crown Princess properly. She's pregnant with twins, so don't upset her."

The Emperor spoke again, this time with remarkable composure and calmness.

Lee So-hyun understood, but he didn't say anything more and left directly.

Empress Cheng quickly learned of this news and immediately became flustered.

"For the Emperor to entrust such an important matter to the Crown Prince shows just how important the Crown Prince is to him!"

In the Empress's view, all of this was because the Emperor had paved the way for the Crown Prince.

He will definitely select many ministers to accompany him and protect his safety.

The nanny standing to the side, however, remained remarkably calm and composed, directly reminding the Empress.

"The Emperor has not yet sent anyone to accompany you, Your Highness, there is no need to worry, there will be many opportunities."

"That being said, I have a feeling that something is amiss with this matter, and it may be more difficult than we imagine..."

Empress Cheng was already extremely worried, and after saying these words, she looked at the nanny again.

"Keep a close eye on the Crown Prince's residence. If there is any disturbance, be sure to report it to me!"

The Crown Prince's residence is now the target of everyone's criticism; countless people are watching it, hoping to see it become a laughing stock.

However, Lee So-hyeon was unaware of this and believed that he was about to enjoy glory.

"This trip may take three to five months, and by the time I return, the child will have already been born."

Li Zhaoxian found Song Tangli and said, seemingly reluctant to part with her.

Song Tangli looked at her tenderly and said, "Your Highness, the enemy's strength is not to be underestimated. You must be careful when you go there and do not act rashly."

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid. Why would I be so foolish as to just rush forward? But I'm sorry to have troubled you. You'll have to stay here by yourself."

Li Zhaoxian expressed his reluctance to part with Song Tangli, and then looked at her.

"You must be careful from now on, and make sure you don't offend anyone, lest they make things difficult for you."

This is a roundabout way of reminding Song Tangli not to provoke Song Tangxue again.

Even Li Zhaoxian has realized that the two are not on the same level at all, and she cannot afford to offend them.

Song Tangxue's momentum is growing stronger and stronger, and once he leaves, Song Tangli will be left isolated and helpless.

Song Tangli naturally understood this principle, and nodded decisively, speaking earnestly.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I know what to do and will certainly not let you down."

Song Tangxue also learned that the Crown Prince was determined to go on a military expedition.

She could hardly believe it and looked at Xie Qianzhong in surprise.

"What good luck the Crown Prince had today? The Emperor agreed so easily."

You should know that recently, no matter what the Crown Prince does, he will be particularly disliked by the Emperor.

Entrusting such an important task to Li Zhaoxian was extremely risky.

Xie Qianzhong understood the Emperor quite well, so he spoke with remarkable composure.

"He was afraid that people would think he was heartless and ungrateful, that he could even cripple his own son, who was born to the woman he loved most, so he naturally had to find the perfect excuse."

Everything Xie Qianzhong said was true; that was indeed the Emperor's plan.

After hearing these words, Song Tangxue felt that they made a lot of sense, but she hesitated before speaking.

"But what if we just happen to get lucky?"

"What a coincidence! This matter is already extremely deadlocked, and the other side is coming on strong. His Majesty is determined to embarrass the Crown Prince, so this battle must be lost."

Li Zhaoxian has no chance of winning, and the generals he's demanding to follow him are definitely not good ones.

Song Tangxue looked at Xie Qianzhong, who had already spoken with such certainty.

Her slightly agitated mood had finally calmed down, and she nodded with a smile.

"I'm relieved to hear your words. I'll be happy as long as they suffer, and I'll even celebrate!"
