Song Tangxue continued speaking, seemingly quite moved by the dramatic changes that had taken place overnight.
Xie Qianzhong remained remarkably calm: "This day was bound to come sooner or later, it's just a little earlier than we expected."
Unexpectedly, the Emperor's men discovered the good deeds Song Tangli had done.
If something happens to the Crown Princess, Li Zhaoxian, as the Crown Prince, will naturally not be able to escape punishment.
Although Song Tangxue had expressed her feelings earlier, she was more filled with anticipation for all of this.
"I hope all this can be settled as soon as possible. If the court is handed over to such a person, you and I both know what will happen."
I'm afraid they'll be utterly defeated by the surrounding courts very soon.
Without a strong ruler, how can the people live in peace and prosperity?
"Alright, don't worry about these things anymore. The most important thing now is to take care of yourself," Xie Qianzhong said with a smile.
After saying that, Song Tangxue also became a little tired.
"I'm going to rest now. You should get back to work too. Although the Emperor asked you to avoid suspicion, we still need to know some things."
Song Tangxue knew everything in her mind, and after giving some instructions, she left.
Xie Qianzhong sat there for a while, deep in thought, no longer as calm and composed as before, as if he were making a decision.
With no one to rely on, Song's mother could only turn to Song's father after much deliberation.
"So, are we completely cutting off contact with Ali from now on?"
She asked, somewhat unwilling to give up, after all, the hardships of raising an outstanding daughter all the way to the position of Crown Princess are unimaginable.
Song's father, who was already drowning his sorrows in alcohol, became even more impatient upon hearing this.
"If we don't give up now, our entire families will be implicated and punished!"
Madam Song was taken aback: "There's already a lot of tension outside. It seems the Emperor is serious this time."
"I served the court diligently all my life, and in the end, I still ended up like this. What does she matter? Anyone can become the Crown Princess."
Song's father was particularly sarcastic, and after speaking, he didn't forget to give a final warning.
"Just remember this: you must ignore this matter. If anyone asks you, you can only say you don't know. From now on, act as if this child never existed."
"Is there still a glimmer of hope? After all, she is pregnant with twins, which is a great auspicious sign for the royal family."
Song's mother was not giving up at all, and instead continued to probe with further questions.
Unexpectedly, Song's father had already lost patience when he heard this stupid, pig-like question.
His expression changed instantly, and the wine glass in his hand was thrown away, making a crisp sound.
"She's already come to this point, and has been banished to the cold palace. Do you think she has any chance of survival? It's more useful to rely on that ungrateful wretch than on her!"
Song Tangxue was brought up again, but they were really ruthless, wanting to use their daughter while refusing to face their problems.
Because Song's mother couldn't escape Song Tangxue's path, their grudges and affections had long since hardened to the rock.
There is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation in this lifetime, which is why Song's mother places all her hopes on Song Tangli.
"Alright, I understand. Don't be angry." Song's mother, unlike her usual domineering self, spoke with unusual humility.
Mr. Song was already exhausted. As the head of the household, he had suffered repeated blows and was no longer able to hold on.
"You speak so casually, but how can we restore our former glory? Have you ever considered that it is absolutely impossible in this lifetime?"
He has gone down a dead end, and the emperor will never have any hope for him again.
And this child was beyond hope. When Mr. Song mentioned this again, he felt a deep sense of regret.
"Over the years, you can imagine the effort we have put into the struggle, but now we have been completely wiped out."
All the hard work of the past years was destroyed in an instant, all gone just like that, and in his old age at that.
As Mr. Song was speaking, he suddenly burst into laughter.
"It really is heaven's will to destroy me, hahaha!"
When Song's mother saw this scene, she couldn't help but feel frightened, as Song's father had never lost his composure like this before.
She didn't know what to say, so she could only stand awkwardly to the side, not daring to utter a sound.
Now that Song's mother has no hope left, she can no longer be as arrogant as before.
Song Tangxue, on the other hand, had a good rest and was not affected by the outside world.
However, once we got together, a thought came to mind.
"Madam, please don't let things outside cause you any trouble. Look at how thoughtful you look."
Haitang was doing Song Tangxue's hair and makeup, but she seemed to be thinking about something.
Upon hearing this, Song Tangxue could only manage a bitter smile.
"Sigh, I wish I could do that too, but things haven't gone as planned. We still have to take care of what we're supposed to take care of."
After saying this, she started muttering to herself.
"However, after so many years of grudges and feuds, it's time to put an end to them..."
"Do you perhaps wish to see the Crown Princess?"
As soon as Song Tangxue finished speaking, Haitang immediately understood, but said in disbelief.
However, Song Tangxue did nod seriously when asked this question.
Seeing this, Haitang became extremely nervous and quickly spoke up.
"Absolutely not. She has suffered such a huge setback, and her ambitions of many years will be extinguished in an instant. She is probably going crazy now and is even thinking of taking revenge. You and the Crown Princess have a long-standing grudge, and she will definitely hold you responsible for all of this."
Song Tangli truly doesn't reflect on herself; she only feels that others are blocking her path to wealth and glory.
Song Tangxue was aware of this, but after listening, she remained unusually calm, gave a cold laugh, and said...
"Hmph, it's time to go. He schemed against me before, causing us so much trouble. It's time to settle things."
After saying this, Song Tangxue closed her eyes, as if she had made up her mind.
Haitang understood her wife's temperament; once she made a decision, no one could change it.
She stopped speaking and sighed helplessly.
Song Tangxue didn't say anything more, but closed her eyes to rest, as if she was thinking about the situation she would face next.
Xie Qianzhong returned not long after, maintaining his habit of practicing martial arts every morning.
Song Tangxue was already waiting for him at the restaurant. After he returned and sat down, she seemed to have something to say, but she was also hesitant.
"Look at you, if you have something to say, just say it. Do you think I'm going to eat you?"
Xie Qianzhong said, both amused and exasperated, that Song Tangxue was just too adorable.
Hearing this, Song Tangxue became embarrassed, perhaps knowing that what she said would put him in a difficult position, but she had no choice.
