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

Song Zhi sighed.

Okay, I have to see her.

It’s the same whether you meet one or two, so it’s more efficient to meet them together.

So Song Zhi asked the jailer to lock up King Xian and Wang Lanzhi in two adjacent cells, while he himself sat in the middle obediently.

Wang Lanzhi was covered in wounds and looked like a monster. When he saw Song Zhi, he wanted to pounce on him.

"Song Zhi, you've caused me so much trouble. You even took away my mansion. Why can't you let me go?"

Song Zhi folded his hands between his legs, his back straight. "I didn't ask you to collude with the virtuous king. Why do you blame me for the path you chose?"

"How could our plan fail if it weren't for you."

Song Zhi had a blank expression on his face. "If you're not as skilled as others, then don't shout so loudly, okay? You think it's so glorious."

"you!"

Wang Lan was so angry that he wanted to bite the prison door and looked like he was about to explode.

Compared with him, the wise king is much more emotionally stable.

Although the wise king was also covered in blood, he still sat upright on the straw-covered bed and looked at her, like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark.

He spoke slowly, "Miss Song, we were indeed inferior in skills and became prisoners. You took advantage of this to make great contributions. With the current status of your Song family, it would be easy for you to support anyone to take the top position."

If Song Zhi hadn't been careful, it would have been easy to overlook the calculation in his eyes and the barely perceptible vicious smile.

Song Zhi was shocked and immediately understood.

It wasn't Wang Lanzhi and the Xian King who wanted to see her; it was clearly the Dog Emperor trying to test her.

If she guessed correctly, there must be someone eavesdropping nearby.

It is even possible that the person eavesdropping was the emperor himself.

Song Zhi put away his nonchalant look and said seriously, "The throne is naturally decided by the emperor. We, the Song family, are just ministers and do not have the power you claim."

The virtuous prince was relentless, "Miss Song is so close to the commoner Third Prince, it's hard not to suspect anything."

Song Zhi wanted to curse after hearing this. This bastard king was about to die but he still didn't forget to dig a hole for her.

"You also said that he is a commoner. He has been removed from the Jade Plate. What threat can he pose? To be honest, I am close to him because I like him. My father also likes him very much and is planning to recruit him as a son-in-law."

A son-in-law who married into the harem would lose the qualification to inherit the throne forever even if he was not removed from the jade plate.

With that said, even a calm and virtuous king would be at a loss.

He stood up in surprise, "Impossible, how could he agree to be a son-in-law!"

"But he did agree. From now on, his name will be included in the Song family tree and he will no longer be associated with the royal family."

This was something she had discussed with Mu Nanqi earlier.

In the past, one of them was a prince and the other's father was an important official in the court.

In order to reassure the dog emperor, he dared not make any explicit intentions. Of course, it was impossible for a prince to become a son-in-law, as this would damage the royal family's reputation.

But since the dog emperor has taken the initiative to expel Mu Nanqi from the royal family, they can naturally do so.

The virtuous king was very unwilling, "But he is still of royal blood. It is not proper for him to be your son-in-law."

Song Zhi smiled, "You really are the Kitchen God sweeping the yard."

After a pause, she slowly uttered four words, "Mind your own business."

"you!"

"Mu Nanqi was willing to do this, and the emperor who expelled him from the royal family had no objection. But he got desperate. Isn't that ridiculous?"

"Song Zhi!"

"I'm here. If you don't agree, come out and bite me."

I want to set a trap for her, but today she won't jump into it even if the king of heaven comes.

"How dare you call me a dog?!"

"You're already a prisoner, yet you're still acting like a prince. If I were you, I'd definitely keep my tail between my legs."

The wise king's chest heaved violently as he tried to calm himself.

He knew that he would not have a good ending, but he really didn't want to let Song Zhi go, so he continued:

"Hmph, I won't argue with you, but I'm not going to let you lead me astray. Who knows if you're using the guise of being a son-in-law to conceal your true love and plot something big? After all, how many people can resist the temptation of the Queen and the King's father-in-law?"

Song Zhi was not at all flustered. "Your Highness, this is wrong. If I wanted to be the Queen, why did I break off my engagement with Mu Qinghan? If I wanted to be the Queen, why did I subconsciously reject the Emperor's offer of marriage to Mu Yuanzhi? Do you think all women in this world are willing to be Queens?"

She said with reason, "Being a queen means I have to endure my husband having three thousand concubines and sharing one husband with countless women;"

"It means that he and I must treat each other as king and subject, and there will be no more equal intimacy."

"It means that if I want to see my husband, I have to wait and wait for a long time, and I may not see him more than a few times in the whole year."

"Tell me, why do I want to be the queen?"

These words left the wise king speechless.

Seeing that the virtuous king was losing, Wang Lanzhi calmed down and said, "Song Zhi, don't be so stubborn. Do you dare to swear that you will never support Mu Nanqi to become the emperor in this life? If you break your oath, your whole family will not have a good end."

Song Zhi raised the corner of his mouth without thinking, "I, Song Zhi, swear that if I support Mu Nanqi to become the emperor in the future, my whole family will not have a good end."

Wang Lanzhi is not a naive person, so how could he believe in something as vague as an oath.

The reason he said this was that he was betting on Song Zhi's guilty conscience.

If Song Zhi hesitated for even a second, that second of hesitation would be like a thorn piercing the emperor, making him feel unhappy until he pulled it out.

And now, Song Zhi swore so frankly and quickly that he could not find any problems, which made Wang Lanzhi's plan of digging a trap fail.

He couldn't help but doubt it. Could it be that the Song family really didn't intend to support Mu Nanqi?

But he quickly said with hatred in his eyes: "You must not believe in the oath to speak so quickly."

Song Zhi spread his hands and said, "You're being unreasonable."

Wang Lanzhi shut his mouth in disappointment, because he himself felt that there was nothing wrong with Song Zhi.

Seeing that the two had no new tricks, she stood up and said, "You two should confess your crimes quickly. The sooner you die, the sooner you will be reborn."

When she reached the prison door, she heard Wang Lanzhi crying bitterly from behind.

"I regret it, I really do. What's wrong with being a prime minister without real power? I can eat and drink delicious food without having to worry about anything. Why am I so ungrateful and so depressed when I have such a good life?"

The virtuous king on the side scolded coldly, "A real man should die with dignity. How can you behave so unruly?"

Wang Lanzhi felt even more heartbroken after hearing this. "I'm about to die. What's the point of maintaining dignity? It's all your fault. Didn't you say that the plan you carefully laid out for years would be foolproof?"

The wise king said, "I didn't expect you to be so useless and unable to help at all."

"I'm useless. Who came forward to help you deal with those soldiers at the city gate? Otherwise, how could your troops have entered the city in the first place?"

"How dare you bring up such a trivial matter? How can you not find a way to mobilize some troops to suppress Gou'er Lane?"

The two men were fighting behind him, and as they were talking, the wise king suddenly got a shock in his mind.

He murmured softly, "Dog Lane..."
