The two looked at each other silently, the wind blew past him, making his clothes rustle.

Each other's eyes were clearly reflected in theirs, and they could see the surprising seriousness in each other's eyes.

Mu Nanqi didn't say anything, only the sound of the wind passed by his ears.

After a long time, just when Song Zhi thought he would not answer and was about to give up, a light laugh interrupted the stare.

"I thought you would just say a few words to fool me and not tell the truth."

Mu Nanqi looked much more relaxed than before. He ruffled her hair and said, "If possible, I hope Ah Zhi will always be so honest with me."

Song Zhi snorted and opened his hand.

He took her hand and placed it on his lips and kissed it, "Okay, then let Azhi be the emperor."

He agreed very easily, without even thinking about it, as if this was the right answer for him.

This lack of hesitation made Song Zhi feel that he was just being perfunctory.

"I'm serious, no kidding," she emphasized.

"I'm serious too."

His eyes were filled with tenderness, not a trace of coldness or ruthlessness. "Power is only a means of self-preservation for me. If Ah Zhi can protect me, then who is the emperor doesn't matter. It's just..."

He drawled out his words, his tone unclear, "You can't be a heartless woman with three thousand beauties in your harem."

Song Zhi was amused by his behavior and couldn't help but let go of the heavy mood and laughed out loud.

"Why, you men are allowed to have three wives and four concubines, but we women are not allowed to have more than one male favorite?"

Mu Nanqi didn't laugh with her, his expression was extremely serious, "I won't have three wives and four concubines, and you are not allowed to have more male favorites."

Song Zhi raised her eyebrows without commenting, and Mu Nanqi pulled her forward.

"Where to go?"

"Aren't you going to be the emperor? You have to be aware of the power of your subordinates."

He said it lightly, and Song Zhi thought he was joking.

Unexpectedly, when she arrived at a courtyard in the city, she was stunned by the talented people gathered in the courtyard.

Mu Nanqi introduced them to her one by one. After he finished introducing them, she pulled him aside in disbelief and said, "They are all real and alive. How did you trick them into giving you these things?"

There is not only a former imperial teacher who has unique insights into state affairs, but also a genius who is said to be the best martial artist in the world. Those secret guards were trained by him, and even Mu Nanqi's martial arts were learned from him. However, Mu Nanqi is better than his teacher and is on the verge of surpassing him.

There are also people who have a say in various forces.

Mu Nanqi said: "It's a long story, but they are all trustworthy people, you can use them without worry."

"There's no use for it right now. Any one of these people is a well-known boss. Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?"

Song Zhi took a deep breath and gave them an apologetic smile.

Unexpectedly, those people were all arrogant and looked down upon a little girl. They hardly even looked at her straight in the eye.

Those who were friends with Song Yang snorted in response to her.

Song Zhi suddenly retracted her smile. These people were indeed very powerful, but she would not curry favor with someone who didn't like her.

Mu Nanqi's face darkened as he was about to speak, but she held him back, "They are all your people, don't ruin your relationship because of me."

Of course, he could force these people to change their attitude towards her, but she was not interested in dealing with these people who were not convinced in their hearts.

Therefore, only when you are strong yourself can you be truly strong. Relying on others to take shortcuts is not the best option after all.

She prepared to leave without saying much, and Mu Nanqi followed her.

Someone behind said, "Third Prince, a force has emerged at the border, led by someone named Meng Qi. Meng Qi is the emperor's man, so we must be careful."

"Yes, Yunshui Youyou is also very popular and has opened several branches. With their intelligence acquisition capabilities, they will be very helpful to us. Your Highness should also interact more with the owner of Yunshui Youyou."

Everyone gave advice to Mu Nanqi and did not avoid Song Zhi's presence.

After all, the Song family is in the same boat with them. Although they don't value her as a woman, they dare not go too far for Song Yang's sake.

After hearing what they said, Song Zhi knew that Mu Nanqi had never exposed her situation.

She didn't want to pay attention to it, but then she thought that these people had the same purpose as her.

She turned around and said in an innocent tone, "I'm sorry, everyone. I'm not very talented. Yunshui Youyou is my business, and Meng Qi is also my man. You don't have to worry about them."

After saying that, he waved his sleeves and left gracefully, leaving everyone in the yard stunned.

Mu Nanqi hurriedly caught up with him, and the two of them walked slowly forward along the sparsely populated alley.

"Feel sorry."

"Why are you sorry? You mean their attitude?"

After a moment of silence, Mu Nanqi said, "I will set some new rules for them."

"unnecessary."

Song Zhi stopped and looked up with a smile, "It takes time to change people's minds. It's normal for me to be looked down upon because I'm young and have no real achievements."

She is very open-minded. "But one day, I will straighten my back and convince them with my body as a woman."

When she said this, her eyes were extremely firm, as if she was swearing an oath, and her tone was very solemn.

At last, he blinked and lowered his voice, "I won't refuse your help, but I won't choose to rely on you and be pushed around by you, Mu Nanqi. I have my own ideas. We can meet at the top."

Her voice was clear and pleasant, like the collision of two crisp beads.

She has a bright smile and is calm and confident.

Mu Nanqi looked at her for a long time, every frown and smile of hers was in his eyes.

He curled his lips and said slowly: "Okay."

Song Zhi suddenly thought of something and said cunningly, "But you are really generous. You give up your power without hesitation."

He brought her here today to reveal his cards to her and express his attitude through practical actions.

Mu Nanqi looked far away and said, "If it's you, of course I can."

Song Zhi hissed and spun briskly in front of him, "I don't think I've ever done anything to be kind to you, have I? Could it be that I saved your life?"

His love for her was incredible enough to make her feel incredible, and now he could be so generous to her, which was really unbelievable.

Seeing Song Zhi's face wrinkled in confusion, Mu Nanqi couldn't help but reach out and pinch it, "You have a rich imagination."

Song Zhi grabbed his hand and took it away from his face. "If I hadn't saved your life, why would you be so fond of me and treat me so well? Could it be that I saved the life of someone very important to you?"

There are women among the noble ladies of the imperial family who are prettier than her, so it seems untenable to fall in love at first sight just because of her face.

Seeing that she was really concerned about this question, Mu Nanqi said without beating around the bush: "Although you didn't save my life, you gave me a ray of light when I was in darkness as a child. It can be called redemption."
