Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

Song Zhi already had a plan in mind, "While the virtuous prince is focusing on the emperor, I don't mind giving him some trouble."

The most important thing was that she had to cut off the virtuous king's retreat in Gouer Lane.

It is impossible for such a large number of soldiers to hide here without making any noise, yet they have hidden for such a long time without making any noise.

She guessed that there must be some secret here, and what made her most suspicious was that these people had dug a tunnel leading to the outside of the city.

Gouer Lane is right at the edge of the city wall, so it wouldn't take much effort to dig it out.

She had wanted to investigate earlier, but was afraid of alerting the other party and losing the opportunity to take advantage.

Now that so much time has passed, if they wanted to dig a tunnel, they would have already dug it through, and she just started to make trouble.

Song Zhi's abacus beads clattered loudly, and a smile graced the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

Mu Nanqi naturally supported her, "Okay, then I can't stay here and eat for free, so I'll really be a teacher and help out."

Before Song Zhi could answer, an old man over a hundred years old suddenly jumped out from the side. He said bitterly, "You are cutting me off midway. This is disrespectful. The Song family girl clearly asked me to be her teacher first."

Mu Nanqi looked at Song Zhi, and the words "You solve it" were written brightly in his narrow eyes.

Song Zhi said without hesitation: "There are so many girls who need to be taught. One person can't handle it all. You two can take turns."

The Master stroked his beard and thought for a moment, "As long as you don't chase me away, that's all that matters."

Mu Nanqi also agreed with this arrangement, "That's good."

In the future, he won't always have time to be a peaceful teacher here, so it would be best if someone could take over.

After agreeing on this matter, Song Zhi took Mu Nanqi out of the city.

At present, hundreds of "refugees" have been settled not far away, and they only rely on the porridge provided by the wise king to survive every day.

At first, the wise king would bring food every day, but after two days, he only brought food every two days.

Although someone would quietly deliver food to them every night, the refugees still pretended to be extremely hungry and went to the wise king to plead for mercy.

The virtuous king said in embarrassment, "The food in my palace is limited. Even my relatives are almost out of food. It's not that I'm stingy, but I really can't afford it. If the emperor is willing to open the granary to release the food..."

Having said this, the wise king stopped talking with a look of pity and sighed, "Alas..."

The word "Alas" expresses the sadness. If they were real refugees, they would probably be instigated to rise up in rebellion immediately.

However, they performed well and showed the effect that the wise king wanted.

At this point, all the people became even more dissatisfied with the emperor, believing that he was unworthy of his position and were showing signs of wanting to rebel.

The wise king watched all this with a smile on his face, as this was getting closer and closer to the ending he had expected.

At this time, news spread in the palace that the queen had regained her favor.

It turned out that there was an accidental fire in the cold palace three days ago, and the queen was almost burned to death inside.

When the palace maids rescued her, she was still holding the token of love between her and the emperor tightly in her hand.

The palace maid presented the token of love to the emperor. Perhaps recalling the tenderness and sweetness of the past, the emperor finally diverted his attention from the elixir and went to visit the queen.

When the queen woke up and saw the emperor, she thought she was dreaming and pulled the emperor to her side and cried to him.

In the end, this cry touched the emperor's heart, and that night he hugged the queen and relived their old friendship.

The next day, the queen was taken out of the cold palace and restored to favor.

Listening to the news, Song Zhi leaned against Mu Nanqi with his elbow and said, "Let your father eat something good."

Fortunately, she had already reminded the emperor to pay attention to the queen. Given his personality, he should not be seduced by her beauty.

Mu Nanqi's eyes were dark, "I have nothing to do with him anymore."

He seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with him, with no expression on his face.

Liu Ruoyu lazily leaned against a tree to enjoy the cool breeze. "This old emperor is really cruel. You actually tolerated him for so long. If it were me, I would just rebel. While the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is waiting behind. Let your uncle take the lead, and we will reap the benefits."

Mu Nanqi shook his head. "The Emperor has a cavalry of 300,000 men under his command. This is his biggest trump card. The virtuous king's small-scale actions can only force out 10,000 cavalrymen at most."

Song Zhi's expression suddenly became serious. "Three hundred thousand! Where are these three hundred thousand cavalrymen?"

"I don't know. I searched for a long time but found no clues."

Liu Ruoyu covered her lips and chuckled, "I thought the Third Prince was omnipotent. Oh no, now I can't call him the Third Prince anymore."

Mu Nanqi's expression remained unchanged as he calmly said, "Come to think of it, Miss Liu does look a bit like the woman in the portrait that was sent from another country a few days ago."

Liu Ruoyu was startled, her pupils contracted sharply, and she no longer looked relaxed.

"Which country are you talking about?"

Mu Nanqi slowly uttered two words, "Li Kingdom."

"It's the King of Li..."

"It's the Prime Minister of Li."

Mu Nanqi interrupted, "He said his soon-to-be fiancée ran away the night before their wedding, and he's mobilizing the entire country to find her at all costs."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruoyu's face instantly turned pale, as pale as a piece of white paper.

"You...what did you say..."

Liu Ruoyu is emotionally stable and rarely shows such joy on her face.

She was like a drowning person, even her breathing became heavy.

"Ruoyu, are you okay?"

Song Zhi quickly supported her and asked with concern.

Liu Ruoyu didn't answer, but looked straight at Mu Nanqi, "When did it happen?"

"Just these two days."

Liu Ruoyu suddenly seemed to have lost all her strength, and her shoulders drooped weakly.

She laughed to herself, "He found it so quickly? It's ridiculous that he tried so hard but still couldn't get that position. It's really ridiculous."

Liu Ruoyu laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes, and she was shrouded in great sadness.

Now, Mu Nanqi and Song Zhi were sure that she was the person the Prime Minister of Li was looking for.

Song Zhi wanted to say something but was stopped by Mu Nanqi.

"Miss Liu is a low-key person. Not many people in the capital have seen her. I don't think they will be able to find out your whereabouts for a while."

Liu Ruoyu closed her eyes tiredly, "I understand. Thanks for reminding me. I owe you a favor this time."

"What are you going to do from now on?"

Compared to Mu Nanqi's calm appearance, Song Zhi was more worried about Liu Ruoyu's safety.

She knew that Li Kingdom was a big country with strength comparable to Tianqi. If the Prime Minister of Li Kingdom set his sights on Liu Ruoyu, then Liu Ruoyu would definitely be found in no time.

She always knew that Liu Ruoyu's identity was not simple. After all, how could a woman who was so beautiful be an ordinary person?

But she didn't expect Liu Ruoyu to be directly involved with other countries

From now on, she must never be allowed to show up in public easily to avoid exposing her whereabouts.

"His fiancée ran away. What does it have to do with me?"

Liu Ruoyu forced a smile, "I am Liu Ruoyu from Tianqi, and I have nothing to do with him."
