Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.
Chapter 247 Bring Song Zhi here
The young girl who was just beginning to fall in love was redeemed by a man who seemed like a god.
Just like what it says in every play script.
At that moment, Tuoba Yu's eyes were filled with light for Mu Nanqi.
"He was willing to risk his life to save me. His sincerity towards me is evident."
Song Zhi's confusion gradually turned into surprise, and then from surprise to understanding.
"I understand. I'll go back first. You wait here for a while."
Song Zhi left with a sense of relief.
She understood Tuoba Yu's feelings and became tolerant of her obsession.
Mu Nanqi had caused the trouble himself, so naturally he had to solve it himself. She was very busy and had no time to help him deal with these beautiful women.
When she returned to Gouer Lane, she found Mu Nanqi and told him what had happened.
As expected, Mu Nanqi looked indifferent.
"I'll go and explain it to her."
Mu Nanqi walked very fast, and when she turned around, the other party had disappeared.
On the other hand, next door to Liu Ruoyu, it was quite lively.
Driven by curiosity, Song Zhi couldn't help but walk over to take a look. He saw that in the green courtyard, the young master was carrying water to water the vegetables under the command of Liu Ruoyu.
He was extremely careful in his work and would check whether every seedling was watered properly.
After pouring a bucket of water, he would wait proudly for Liu Ruoyu's praise.
At this time, Liu Ruoyu, who was making clothes with brocade, would give a few perfunctory compliments.
Although he knew it was just a perfunctory gesture without any sincerity, the young master still felt very benefited.
Song Zhi didn't want to disturb such a peaceful and beautiful atmosphere, so he quietly retreated.
At this time in the East Palace, Mu Yuanzhi, who had hit a wall twice in a row, was sitting in front of the window with a frown on his face and not saying a word.
The palace attendant looked troubled. "Your Highness, it is indeed very difficult to find such a huge amount of money to carry out this matter. Perhaps we should consider abandoning this plan."
However, Mu Yuanzhi refused without hesitation: "No!"
He knew very well that if this plan could be successfully implemented, it would be a crucial step for both his personal reputation and his father's recognition of him.
Therefore, he was unwilling to give up this opportunity easily.
The palace servant sighed helplessly: "But now even the Cang family can't provide this money, who else can support us?"
Mu Yuanzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "Take me to the dungeon, I want to see him in person."
There was a hint of surprise in the palace maid's eyes, but she still obeyed the order.
Mu Yuanzhi said solemnly, "Although Father hasn't found out anything, I don't believe he didn't leave any tricks behind after doing so many things."
The two men dismissed the servants and entered the study. After carefully confirming that no one was spying, they cautiously approached the antique display case. Mu Yuanzhi reached out and gently turned a vase on the display case. With a slight click, the display case immediately split in half, revealing a secret door at the back, just wide enough for one person to pass through.
Mu Yuanzhi gently pushed open the secret door, then turned to the palace attendant beside him and said, "Stay outside first and don't let anyone in. If there is anything unusual, notify me immediately."
The palace maid bowed her head respectfully, "Yes."
Mu Yuanzhi stepped into the secret door without hesitation, and a long staircase appeared in front of him, which seemed to have no end.
Every few steps, he would see a lamp, emitting a faint light. Although the light was not strong, it was enough for him to see the road clearly.
Mu Yuanzhi walked down the stairs.
I don’t know how long it took, but I finally reached the bottom of the stairs, and a space about the size of two rooms appeared in front of me.
The place was obviously carefully designed, with walls and floors made of solid stone, giving it an oppressive feeling.
You can tell at a glance that it is specially used to imprison people. Various torture instruments are placed around it, which makes people shudder.
A dying figure lay in the cell. He heard footsteps but did not move.
Mu Yuanzhi sat on a chair outside the cell and said in a deep voice, "Uncle, if you don't want to continue suffering, you should tell me what I want to know as soon as possible."
The figure inside seemed extremely weak, as if every movement would take up all his strength.
Seeing that the person inside still didn't react, Mu Yuanzhi said again: "I spent a lot of effort to rescue you by stealthily replacing you. Otherwise, it would be you who would be hanging on the city wall, exposed to the wind and rain. Shouldn't you thank me?"
"Humph."
The weak figure finally snorted coldly.
He slowly raised his head, revealing a blood-stained face. It was the wise king who had been "executed" not long ago.
"As expected of father and son, you and your hypocritical father are really alike."
Mu Yuanzhi didn't want to talk about this. "Uncle, as long as you tell me where the rest of your money is, I promise to let you leave alive. You can find a place where no one knows you and live out the rest of your life in hiding."
Although he was called the Imperial Uncle, the Emperor had long ago stripped him of his title and expelled him from the Jade Records, not to mention that the "Wise King" was already dead on the surface, so there was no question of whether he was the Imperial Uncle or not.
The reason for calling it this is just to make everyone look decent and gain some good impression.
However, this trick obviously didn't work on the wise king.
The wise king sneered, "Don't say I don't trust your character. Even if I do, I'd rather die than live a miserable life with nothing."
Mu Yuanzhi's face turned grim, and he drew his sword and pressed it against his throat.
"Then I will make it happen for you."
The wise king showed no fear at all, and even said with some confidence, "You won't kill me. I have paid so much and received no reward. How could you bear to kill me?"
I have to say, this sentence really hit Mu Yuanzhi in the lungs.
He really couldn't bear to touch him before he got any benefits out of him.
Mu Yuanzhi threw away the sword in his hand dejectedly, showing a rare bit of sincerity.
"Tell me what you want."
Upon hearing this, the wise king hunched his body and showed a hint of complacency. So what if he was a prisoner? He still stood in the dominant position.
He gritted his teeth and stated his conditions, "I want you to bring Song Zhi here and let me deal with him."
"Children..."
Hearing this name, Mu Yuanzhi was stunned for two seconds.
He didn't expect that the information that couldn't be extracted from the wise king by coercion, bribery, and torture could be revealed by simply bringing Song Zhi over.
After a moment's silence, Mu Yuanzhi said, "Change the conditions."
The virtuous king said without a trace of room for negotiation: "I only want her."
Mu Yuanzhi's eyes darkened, "I'll think about it."
After saying that, he prepared to leave.
Looking at his heavy back, the wise king said, "If I were you, I wouldn't feel any compassion for a woman who only has other men in her heart. You are so sentimental and indecisive. Even if you get the money I left, you won't be able to keep your position."
Mu Yuanzhi's figure stiffened, and his eyes darkened.
"There's no need for the emperor's uncle to worry about this."
