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

"Do you know who sent these assassins today?"

Suddenly, Mu Nanqi regained his cold expression, sat down, and asked this question.

Song Zhi was stunned for a moment, then opened his eyes and asked, "Mu Qinghan?"

"It's Father."

Mu Nanqi said in a deep voice, "Although I am a prince, I am not favored. Didn't you ask me why I didn't attend the banquet in the palace yesterday? Because my father didn't want me to attend, so he just randomly assigned me an errand and sent me out of the palace. Now, he even wants to kill me."

Now it was Song Zhi's turn to remain silent.

"You're telling me this because if I approach you to gain something, you can't do that in your situation?"

Mu Nanqi raised a sarcastic smile, "You're quite smart when you're not pretending to be stupid."

Song Zhi couldn't help but defend himself, "I'm not pretending to be stupid."

Mu Nanqi seemed to be in a good mood, "Could it be that he is really stupid?"

Song Zhi gritted his teeth and said, "You can insult my body, but you can't insult my intelligence."

"Miss Song used to be quite satisfied with the position of Crown Princess. Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Mu Nanqi suddenly said seriously: "Could it be that this is really just to rekindle our past relationship?"

Song Zhi shook his head without thinking, "Not only that, I was blind before, now I just want Mu Qinghan to die."

“Just because he changed his mind and wanted to marry Anya Song?”

"Well, it's okay if you think so."

Anyway, he wouldn't believe her even if she said there was a blood feud in the previous life, so she had to use this lame excuse.

Song Zhi relaxed, sat across from him, and said seriously, "Besides renewing our relationship, I also want to do something important. Ah Qi, it doesn't matter if they don't give you some things. I'll help you get them."

Mu Nanqi narrowed his eyes and his emotions could not be seen. He sat there motionless as a mountain, as if trying to figure out the meaning of her words.

But Song Zhi knew that he must have understood what she meant at the first moment.

After a long moment, he said nonchalantly, "Your father should have told you that I don't care about that."

Song Zhi smiled, "Then you should know now that the enemy will not let you go just because you give in. If you don't fight, you will only become an easier prey, not to mention..."

Song Zhi dragged out his words, "Based on Ah Qi's plan, it doesn't seem like it was unintentional."

Mu Nanqi did not answer.

Song Zhi continued, "I've known for a long time that you're skilled in martial arts. If you wanted to harm you, you should have told the Emperor directly from the beginning. He would have killed you without hesitation. Why would I risk getting hurt talking to you here?"

The voice was extremely resentful, full of accusations and dissatisfaction.

Mu Nanqi glanced at Song Zhi's wrist seemingly unintentionally, and saw a glaring red mark on the originally white jade-like wrist.

"Squeamish."

He took out a bottle of high-quality ointment from his arms and threw it over, and Mu Nanqi turned his face away and looked elsewhere.

Song Zhi accepted the medicine with great satisfaction.

"You gave me this, do you accept what I said?"

Mu Nanqi showed a meaningful look, "Miss Song, rather than this, why don't you consider yourself first? They don't seem to have given up the idea of ​​taking you into the East Palace."

Song Zhi understood that this was to test her ability.

If you can't even protect yourself, how can you help him?

Bo Liang's situation made him destined to be a stalker in the dark night. For Mu Nanqi now, only if she was strong enough would she be qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Song Zhi was very confident about this matter. If she couldn't even do this, she would be unworthy of being the daughter of the Song family, and her rebirth would be in vain.

A barely perceptible smile appeared on Mu Nanqi's lips, a smile that he himself didn't even notice.

Before she could retract her smile, she heard Song Zhi say with a smile, "Then Ah Qi must also consider renewing our relationship."

Her tone was cheerful, as if she had encountered something extremely happy.

Mu Nanqi glanced at her and ruthlessly ordered her to leave, "Miss Song, it's time to leave."

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."

Song Zhi saw that it was getting late and that if he went back late it would inevitably make his father worry, so he listened to the advice and prepared to leave.

But before jumping off the carriage, she couldn't help but turn around and warn: "Aqi, be careful of the new prime minister."

The newly appointed prime minister is named Wang Lanzhi, and he is a member of Mu Qinghan's faction.

On the surface, this person seems to have no ability. He is just a small person who is good at flattering Mu Qinghan. But in her previous life, she and Mu Qinghan got married and moved into the East Palace. She often saw Wang Lanzhi making plans behind Mu Qinghan's back. He is definitely not a villain who only knows how to flatter.

This time, he was promoted to prime minister as an exception from his fifth-rank official status, which must have been due to Mu Qinghan's recommendation.

Song Zhi knew that in addition to Mu Qinghan's recommendation, the emperor also intended to promote him for the Song family's benefit.

The emperor wants the Song family to know that the prince does not have to be supported by the Song family. This high position and generous salary is given to whoever by the royal family, and anyone who stands in the right position can have it.

In response to this, the former Prime Minister Song Yang expressed his satisfaction with this arrangement and was so happy that he ate two extra bowls of dinner.

"Great! This way I can continue to be the Minister of Rites and have more time to go home and spend time with you."

As soon as the news of his demotion came out, the high-ranking officials in the capital began to distance themselves from the Song Mansion. The Song Mansion, which was once bustling with people, became deserted almost immediately.

But because the Song family has always been generous in their dealings with others, apart from a few mocking and sarcastic voices, most people did not take advantage of the situation.

The next two days were calm and nothing happened. Of course, Song Zhi did not see Mu Nanqi again.

That day, she jumped off the carriage and went straight back to the Song Mansion. Although she never showed it, she guessed that Mu Nanqi must have sent someone to observe her secretly.

She thought that he did not completely trust her. If she showed any intention to reveal his secret to the public during this period, she was afraid that those people in the dark would kill her immediately.

Song Zhi sat by the window with his head propped up and sighed. This man's heart must be made of iron.

But despite her worries, there was good news: she received a reply from Wanfo Temple.

There were no extra words in the letter, only the word "OK".

Song Zhi held the letter with a smile on his face, then placed it on the candle and burned it.

On the third day, it was the day when Crown Prince Mu Qinghan and Song Yale returned home.

The Empress Dowager had sent someone to inform them in advance that they would come to the Song Mansion. The implicit meaning of the words was that although Song Yale was not the biological daughter of the Song family, they had lived together for more than ten years. Yale could not let go of this family relationship and was always thinking about the Sun family. Therefore, this time when they returned home, they would first go to the Sun Mansion for a tour and then stay at the Song Mansion.

The words were spoken in a tactful and generous manner, and there was nothing wrong with them. The arrangements were also flawless. Although they were extremely reluctant, they couldn't refuse.

So early in the morning, they packed up and waited in the flower hall.

Song Zhi originally planned to find an excuse not to show up, but then she thought that today's show might be aimed at her, so how could the show start if she didn't go.

So he stayed in the mansion and wanted to see what kind of play they were performing.
