"Okay, then I'll head over now. I might not be back today, so don't wait for me. Get some rest."
No sooner had the words left her mouth than Meng Youyu rushed over; Xie Qianzhong had summoned her.
"Your Excellency, please go ahead with your work without worry. I will take good care of Xue."
She had barely arrived when she immediately began to speak.
Upon seeing this, Song Tangxue immediately understood what was going on, and smiled helplessly.
“I’m not a child, why do I need to be taken care of like this?”
She smiled helplessly at the end, but then told Xie Qianzhong.
"But now you can rest assured, so go ahead and get busy. Don't worry about things at home, there won't be any problems."
Song Tangxue never imagined that they would one day be so affectionate with each other.
Xie Qianzhong didn't say anything more and quickly rode away.
Several squads of guards followed behind them, and they set off for the palace in a grand procession.
Song Tangxue remained remarkably calm. After watching them leave, she told Meng Youyu.
"This is the real end. The Crown Prince has shot himself in the foot; he's practically courting his own destruction."
Lee So-hyeon's sudden betrayal clearly hastened his own demise.
Perhaps the emperor never intended to kill him, and he could have lived on in any way.
But now that they have rebelled, the emperor certainly cannot continue to tolerate it.
Upon hearing this, Meng Youyu sneered, but then helped Song Tangxue walk inside, saying as they went.
"Now the Emperor has lost all face and is furious. He has sent men to imprison the Crown Prince in the Imperial Prison."
After she finished speaking, she realized that she had made a mistake, so she added a sentence.
"No, he's no longer the crown prince, but a criminal. The emperor probably wants to tear him to pieces right now."
The emperor was a man who cared a lot about his reputation, but he never expected that one day he would be severely humiliated by the crown prince he had once doted on.
The two chatted as they walked into the hall, but they were unusually calm.
Especially Song Tangxue, she didn't have the mindset of getting revenge, but rather she was exceptionally relieved.
“Last night, I told the adults that all of this felt like a dream, and it felt so unreal.”
After Song Tangxue and the others sat down, they didn't even drink a sip of hot water. Instead, they spoke with great emotion.
Meng Youyu felt the same way: "Who says otherwise? I thought I would be very happy and want to set off firecrackers for three days and three nights, but now I think it's meaningless."
It's not worth it to experience extreme joy or sorrow for these people; I'm not willing to do something so foolish.
After speaking, Meng Youyu became quite emotional and looked at Song Tangxue again.
"But you must remember, when the Marquis and his wife arrive, you must not compromise."
Now everyone knows that Mr. and Mrs. Song are plotting to curry favor with Song Tangxue.
"I know you don't want to see me being disgusted by them again, but don't worry, my heart has already been broken, and I will no longer have any pity for them."
Song Tangxue was exceptionally calm and composed, knowing exactly what she should do.
As she was finishing her sentence, Meng Youyu suddenly spoke.
"Song Tangli is a madwoman now. If we don't meet her now, we might never have another chance. Why don't we go there quickly?"
"You promised me this yesterday, and now it seems we really need to act quickly, or we'll regret it for the rest of our lives."
Haitang was serving desserts when she heard Meng Youyu say that, and she quickly chimed in.
Seeing how serious the two of them were, Song Tangxue was both amused and exasperated when she heard this, but she quickly nodded in agreement.
"Alright, alright, don't worry. She has harmed so much of us in the past, it's time for a final reckoning."
After Song Tangxue finished speaking, she glanced at Lian Zhi beside her and found that the other person's expression was perfectly normal.
Seeing this, Song Tangxue felt relieved, but then she said something else.
"She definitely won't die within two or three days, and the adults aren't here right now, so let's wait until she comes back."
Without Xie Qianzhong's guidance, they would have had a hard time accomplishing this.
Meng Youyu was relieved and nodded in agreement.
"Well, let's wait then. It won't make a difference if we wait a little longer."
But in the end, it feels a bit of a pity.
"Now that Song Tangli is insane, I regret not going to check on her when she was lucid."
After Meng Youyu finished speaking, she shook her head, feeling very regretful.
"Not everything can go our way. It's good as it is now, so let's not think too much about it."
Song Tangxue was unusually calm and composed, as she had always been very open-minded about these things.
Meanwhile, Xie Qianzhong rushed to the palace as quickly as possible, where many important court officials were already waiting.
They were all waiting for Xie Qianzhong to return, because only then could they begin today's discussion.
Even the emperor, who is the supreme ruler, is the same.
"Now that the Prime Minister has returned to his post, let's talk about what happened today: the Crown Prince's sudden rebellion. How should we deal with it?"
The Emperor did not wait for Xie Qianzhong to pay his respects before speaking directly.
It seems he's really anxious, afraid of further complications, so he wants to finalize things as soon as possible.
Xie Qianzhong remained silent, but instead stood in his place and listened to what others were saying.
"The emperor is subject to the same laws as commoners; only in this way can the emperor's prestige be preserved. Therefore, he must be executed!"
"Not only as Lord Liu said, but also to turn them into commoners and remove them from the imperial family genealogy."
Two respected senior officials spoke in unison, clearly having already made their decision.
The Emperor listened but did not rush to agree. Instead, he looked at Xie Qianzhong, who had arrived late.
"The Prime Minister's ideas have always been good. I wonder what your conclusion is on this matter?"
"I believe that we should do as the two gentlemen have said. Only in this way can we preserve the prestige of the royal family and quell the rebellion."
If the Crown Prince's faction suddenly pulls this stunt, then all of them will inevitably have to step down.
This would surely throw the court into chaos, and these people would undoubtedly be prepared to fight to the death.
Therefore, after Xie Qianzhong finished speaking, he even spoke up to remind him.
"What the Emperor needs to do is to first find out who the court officials related to the Crown Prince are and whether there are any potential dangers now."
You should know that Xie Qianzhong and Li Zhaoxian are brothers-in-law, a fact known to the whole world.
But everyone knows that they have always been irreconcilable enemies, so Xie Qianzhong no longer needs to avoid suspicion.
The courtiers standing nearby had no doubts whatsoever.
