Lian Zhi is right. If Song Tangli finds out about this, she'll probably be in an uproar.
Xie Qianzhong remained silent, seemingly in complete agreement.
Hearing these words, Song Tangxue felt a warmth in her heart.
"Yes, don't worry, I know everything, and I won't be outsmarted by them."
She found it hard to believe when she said these words again. Could it be that she had really become a mother?
Haitang quickly brought the doctor back, and under the expectant gazes of everyone, the doctor hurriedly spoke.
"Madam is indeed pregnant, but it is still early and she needs to be careful."
"Reward her," Xie Qianzhong said, then immediately took Song Tangxue's hand.
Although he didn't speak, his eyes were full of tenderness.
Song Tangxue stopped talking, and the two exchanged a knowing smile.
Haitang went to see the doctor off, while Lianzhi, being very sensible, pushed him away instead.
"I really can't believe I'm a mother now..."
Song Tangxue was still filled with emotion and looked at Xie Qianzhong in disbelief.
Xie Qianzhong appeared somewhat calmer; he simply held Song Tangxue's hand tightly.
"I will definitely protect you from now on and never let you suffer any persecution."
This is what he told Song Tangxue, and even more so what he told himself.
Song Tangxue certainly believed it, but she felt compelled to express her opinion.
"I originally thought we should have children later so as not to delay things too much, but I didn't expect him to come."
"This is fate; there's no way to stop it."
As Xie Qianzhong spoke, he carefully covered her with the blanket.
"From today onwards, you must be extra careful in everything you do, and you must not allow any accidents to happen."
Xie Qianzhong continued, saying that Song Tangxue, of course, knew this.
She was just feeling sentimental, and then nodded and said.
"Yes, I know what to do. You don't need to tell me repeatedly. I know everything."
Song Tangxue looked at him and asked, "So what are your plans next?"
This question caught Xie Qianzhong somewhat off guard, and he was afraid that if he answered incorrectly, he would anger Song Tangxue.
He didn't dare to appear too hesitant, so he could only speak quickly.
"I'll do whatever you say. From now on, I'll listen to you. Is that alright?"
"You're smart; you even know how to answer."
Song Tangxue smiled and quickly spoke.
However, after saying that, he told Xie Qianzhong.
"From this day forward, I won't be able to help you much anymore, but remember there are some things you need to tell me."
When Song Tangxue said these words, she was actually a little sad, never expecting that she would have to leave the martial arts world like this.
Xie Qianzhong noticed this, but quickly spoke up.
"Don't worry, we won't let you do nothing. As long as you don't feel tired, no one will stop you."
Xie Qianzhong spoke with exceptional sincerity, and the two talked for a long time that day.
Song Tangli was not so lucky; she not only gave away her savings accumulated over many years.
Furthermore, he later promised Lee So-hyeon that he would do his best to secretly help him so that he wouldn't lose so badly.
"I think the Crown Prince is becoming increasingly unreliable."
Song Tangli finally got rid of Li Zhaoxian and, when no one was around, spoke from her heart.
Xiaoyao was not surprised at all; the current crown prince was like a good-for-nothing.
"He is also feeling anxious right now, but Your Majesty need not worry too much. Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse."
"That may be true, but the Emperor already dislikes him so much. If the Empress's wish comes true, where will we have a place to stand?"
Song Tangli had already thought of these things. She was afraid that when that day really came, her whole family would be worse off than beggars.
The victor is king, the loser is villain—that's how cruel it is.
Xiaoyao hesitated slightly at this moment, as if he was unsure whether to say something or not.
Song Tangli saw this point and understood that Xiaoyao's suggestions to her were always effective.
"Just tell me what's on your mind. If there's something you're hiding from me, I'll be too sad."
At the end, Song Tangli gave a mocking laugh.
"If they don't want me here, there are plenty of other places that will. I've heard that the Yan Kingdom has always wanted to establish an intermarriage with us."
Xiaoyao answered as if he had mustered up his courage, and after speaking, he looked at Song Tangli seriously.
“I am from there, so I know it very well. If I marry there, I will definitely not have a hard life.”
Song Tangli never expected that Xiaoyao would be so bold as to give her such an idea.
After hearing these words, her eyes became somewhat vacant, and she looked at Xiaoyao in disbelief.
Do you know what you're saying?
She's essentially ordering herself to be arrested for treason; if discovered, she'll be torn apart by five horses.
If the Crown Princess were to end up like this, it would be a huge joke on me.
Xiaoyao merely glanced at her nonchalantly before asking.
“Over there, at least you could be protected by your servants and no one would dare to bully you. But here, you know that the victor is king and the loser is villain.”
Xiaoyao's words were quite good, and he even offered a reminder afterward.
"If the Crown Prince falls from grace, it won't just be the Empress who wants to bring you down, but also the Prime Minister's wife. Don't you know how much she hates you?"
Song Tangxue probably only dreamed of tearing Song Tangli to pieces.
Song Tangli understood perfectly well, but this was completely different from her own beliefs.
She never imagined that she would become a traitor to the imperial court and end up on this path.
Xiaoyao naturally saw this as well, but fortunately, he had plenty of time to waste with Song Tangli.
“This servant can wait patiently. We still have some time to allow you to make a choice.”
Song Tangli heard Xiaoyao speak like that again, but this time she didn't say anything after he finished speaking.
Perhaps it's because I know that this news isn't entirely bad for me.
It's normal to find it hard to accept at first, but you also need to plan for the long term.
"People die for wealth, birds die for food; it's time to make some plans..."
After a moment of silence, Song Tangli began to mutter to herself, as if her resolve had softened.
Xiaoyao simply smiled calmly and told her.
"Wherever you go, you will have supreme power, but the era of power here will soon come to an end."
If Song Tangli still wants to live a life of privilege, then she must listen to herself.
Song Tangli was certainly aware of this, but she fell silent at the end.
She stood up and paced around. After taking a couple of steps, as if she had made up her mind, she immediately spoke.
