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

The poor queen couldn't see clearly and still thought that once the virtuous king came to the throne, she would be able to live with her beloved openly and forever.

At this time, Wang Lanzhi also came over. Although he didn't hear what Song Zhi and the Queen said, he knew that it was probably not something good.

"Miss Song, there's no need to sow discord. Just wait until after tonight, and I will take back everything you took from me."

Song Zhigu was embarrassed. "The things you took away, do you mean the silver? Alas, but I spent all that silver."

Wang Lanzhi didn't care. "How could a woman like you spend all that money?"

In his eyes, women are nothing more than buying rouge, powder, silk and satin, what else can he spend money on.

Song Zhi was a little embarrassed, twisting the corner of his clothes and said, "I really have spent it all. In fact, I wanted to ask Lord Wang for some interest."

When Wang Lanzhi heard the word interest, he almost went crazy.

"All spent?! Are you eating the silver? Even if you were eating the silver, it wouldn't be as fast as you."

Song Zhi felt wronged. "I don't want to either. It's because my expenses are so high. You know I opened a rouge shop and lost a lot of money."

Wang Lan was so angry that he almost died. He pointed at Song Zhi with trembling fingers and didn't know what to say for a long time.

Song Zhi was afraid that he would get hurt from anger, so he quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, I have already put your Prime Minister's Mansion up for sale overnight and am ready to sell it for emergency use. This time I will definitely not ask you for an extra ounce of silver in interest."

green.

Wang Lanzhi's face turned green.

He was so angry that he couldn't help but faint.

The queen quickly had him carried aside, "Bitch, what's going on between you and him? Why do you think you can sell his Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Song Zhi smiled shyly, "Your Majesty, this is a long story. Men all want to save face. Why don't you wait until Lord Wang wakes up and tell it to you in person? Of course, if you still have the chance to listen."

The Queen's eyes were about to spit fire. "Wang Lanzhi is right. You bitch are just trying to sow discord. The prince would never do that to me."

"Yeah, yeah, I'm trying to sow discord, so just wait and see."

Song Zhi's eyes narrowed, "But I'll protect him."

She pointed her slender, green fingers at Mu Yuanzhi.

Mu Yuanzhi's expression was moved, "Child."

Song Zhi quickly said, "Stop, I'm only doing this for the greater good, not for any personal feelings."

The virtuous king has not appeared yet. If something happens to Mu Yuanzhi here, the anxious dog emperor will jump out immediately.

The most crucial person has not appeared yet, so the previous plan will be ruined.

But Mu Yuanzhi obviously didn't think so. He looked at Song Zhi with more affection.

Song Zhi got goosebumps all over his body when he was looked at. He said to the queen seriously, "How about we start bickering?"

The Queen's expression hardened. "Why would I, the mother of a country, argue with you? I even asked you to protect him. Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to protect him?"

Song Zhi's eyes lit up, "Yes, yes, that's it."

The queen's face turned pale. "Bitch, what do you think of me?"

Song Zhi said, "My Lady, calling me a bitch is really disrespectful. Why don't you change your name?"

The queen was about to explode in anger when the virtuous king, dressed in noble attire, finally came up accompanied by two teams of guards.

He was steady and calm as he took out a bright yellow imperial edict from the box in his hand.

"The imperial edict has arrived, my dear ministers, please listen to it."

Everyone knelt down in response.

The wise king's voice was calm and powerful.

"The Emperor proclaims, by order of Heaven.

Since I ascended the throne, I have been diligent in my work, caring for the people, and working hard to govern the country. However, my health has been poor recently, and I am afraid that I will not live long. The crown prince has not yet grown up and is not capable of shouldering such a great responsibility. Therefore, after much consideration, I have decided to pass the throne to the virtuous king.

The wise king is kind-hearted, benevolent, and concerned about the people. He is determined to build up the country. He will surely shoulder the great responsibility of making the four seas submit and the people win their hearts.

I hope that you all will loyally assist the wise king and jointly ensure that Tianqi will prosper for thousands of years and that the country will remain forever stable.

Admire this. "

If the situation did not allow it, Song Zhi really wanted to applaud the wise king.

Awesome, really awesome.

The lies he made up were so good that even the storytellers under the overpass would feel ashamed of themselves.

No wonder he hasn't appeared for so long. It seems he went to forge an imperial edict.

As expected, he had to put on a complete show, he really didn't want to be criticized at all.

After the wise king announced the decree, the whole audience was silent for a few seconds.

Then, some ministers knelt down and shouted, "The late emperor was wise and virtuous. We, the ministers, will faithfully follow his will and assist the new master with all our strength to ensure the eternal stability of our Tianqi Empire!"

First one person spoke, then three, then five...

Most of the people present shouted in unison, and the deafening sound resounded throughout the world.

Li Yan and Song Yang looked at each other. Although they did not shout, the appearance of the imperial edict made them pretend to compromise.

The wise king was very satisfied with the current situation and enjoyed the pleasure of having everyone submitting to him.

He had waited for this day for too long.

Taking a deep breath, he walked step by step to the highest position in the main hall under everyone's gaze.

When she passed by the Queen, she was sincerely happy for her lover and couldn't wait to hold his hand.

"Your Majesty~"

"Your Majesty, please respect yourself."

The hand she extended was coldly waved away, and the face of a wise king she had never seen before cruelly unfolded before her.

Her eyes widened in disbelief, "You want me to respect myself?"

The virtuous prince gave her an impatient look and said, "The late emperor has passed away, and your majesty should now mourn for him in front of him."

The queen staggered back two steps, her whole body shaky, as if someone had stabbed her in the heart.

"Are you drawing a line between you and me now?"

"Your Majesty, be careful with your words. We are not close friends to begin with."

He used the word "朕" effortlessly and smoothly, as if he had practiced it thousands of times in his mind.

The queen looked at Song Zhi in frustration. Song Zhi shrugged with an expression that said, "See, I told you so."

"That's not what you told me before."

She was a little upset. "You clearly said that once you ascended the throne, you would openly let me be your queen."

The virtuous prince frowned and, before the queen could reveal more, he said directly, "The late emperor passed away, and the queen was so heartbroken that she became mentally confused and babbled nonsense. Come, take the queen away first."

"No, I'm not leaving, ugh!"

Two palace maids immediately stepped forward to carry the queen away, and when they saw that she was resisting fiercely, they covered her mouth.

But even with such a heinous act, no one questioned it.

Song Zhi saw the murderous intent in the eyes of the two men, and immediately gave them a secret signal to have his men follow them.

The virtuous king continued walking into the hall. When he reached the highest position, he stroked the dragon throne and laughed happily.

"I finally did it."

“I finally got this position.”

He looked delighted, and his whole body was enveloped in great ecstasy.
