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

Seeing that a banquet could be turned into such a mess, the emperor scolded Mu Yuanzhi harshly.

The imperial doctors were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweats and said tremblingly, "Everyone has been poisoned, and... and..."

The imperial physician hesitated to speak, but the emperor sternly said, "What are you talking about? Why don't you just say it directly?"

The imperial physician hurriedly said, "It's exactly the same poison that the Crown Prince was previously poisoned with."

Hearing this, Song Zhi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Mu Nanqi was indeed a man who would never let go of his grudges.

Although he had never told her explicitly about Mu Yuan's poisoning last time, she could guess that Mu Yuanzhi must have poisoned himself on purpose in order to deal with him.

Even though he finally presented all the evidence to the emperor, the emperor still chose to favor Mu Yuanzhi and turned a blind eye to the injustice he had suffered and the harm he had suffered in prison.

Since justice cannot be sought, then treat others in their own way.

Song Zhi approved of Mu Nanqi's approach.

Xiao Tao continued, "Because the Crown Prince had previously been poisoned, an antidote was prepared. So, even though everyone was poisoned, they quickly took the antidote and saved their lives. After their lives were no longer in danger, the Emperor ordered each family to bring their people back home."

Song Zhi stretched out a hand and said, "Wait, you haven't even been to the palace, how come you know everything so clearly?"

Xiao Tao said confidently, "It was my uncle. He said that you must be very curious about the process when you wake up, so he asked the secret guard to tell me again and told me to tell you when you wake up."

"Okay, then what?"

Song Zhi was indeed quite curious.

Xiao Tao continued, "Although the nobles didn't dare to say anything, after all, something happened in the Eastern Palace, and they still feel resentful."

Mu Yuan had been poisoned before, and everyone assumed that someone wanted to take his life.

Even if it wasn't Mu Yuanzhi who poisoned them, they were implicated and nearly died in the Eastern Palace. What's more, they were all poisoned, but Mu Yuanzhi himself was fine. How infuriating.

In the future, these aristocratic families will definitely keep their distance from Mu Yuanzhi.

"The Emperor and the Crown Prince do suspect that it was you and my uncle who were responsible, but a day and a night have passed, and they still haven't found any evidence. Even if they wanted to smear you, they can't. After all, you and my uncle were both 'poisoned' in public, and you are also victims."

This is just like Mu Yuanzhi poisoning himself. Who would have thought that the Crown Prince, who has been frail and sickly since childhood, would be so bold.

In order to put the blame on Mu Nanqi, he actually drank poison and went to the gates of hell.

Since he was going to be imprisoned anyway, Mu Nanqi might as well confirm the charge.

This time, it was Mu Yuanzhi's turn to be speechless.

The emperor believed Mu Yuanzhi, but the noble families did not.

This is enough.

It was said that Mu Yuan was so angry that he fainted due to the anger and blood flowing into his heart. However, the noble families thought that this was a self-torture trick he used to gain sympathy, and no one went to offer condolences.

Song Zhixiao's teeth are not visible, this is what he deserves.

She probably understood what Mu Nanqi meant, so from today on, she would claim to be sick and stay indoors, and would refuse all visitors.

The emperor originally wanted to summon her to the palace for questioning, but now everyone knows that she is still recovering from the sequelae of the poisoning in the Eastern Palace and cannot go out at all.

As a last resort, the emperor had to let Mu Yuan go to investigate.

Song Zhi put on a sickly makeup and fainted after talking to Mu Yuanzhi for only three sentences.

Mu Yuanzhi couldn't help but believe it 70% when he saw Song Zhi's weak appearance. He waited for a long time until Song Zhi woke up, but she fainted again before she could say three words.

Song Yang, who loved his daughter dearly, immediately chased them away. "Your Highness, please go back. You have seen the child's current condition. I'm afraid she is seriously injured and needs proper care. It would be best if she doesn't see any guests for the time being. As soon as the child recovers, I will inform Your Highness as soon as possible."

Things have come to this point. If he continues to ask questions, it will seem very unkind, which is not conducive to the image he has always presented to the public.

Thinking of this, Mu Yuanzhi looked at Qingfengyuan worriedly from outside, and took the Tianshan Snow Lotus that she had sent back last time before leaving.

When he walked away, Song Zhi, who was originally "on the verge of death", suddenly recovered with full health.

She threw back the quilt and stood up, hugging Song Yang's arm and said coquettishly: "I'll have to trouble Daddy to help me from now on. I will definitely come back as soon as possible."

Song Yang said lovingly, "Be careful, your safety is always the priority."

"Okay, I will."

Song Zhi smiled sweetly, picked up the bag beside her, went out and quietly came to Gouer Lane.

She came to the tunnel again. She had to say that this tunnel was really convenient and completely avoided being checked when leaving the city.

The main feature is that she comes and goes without a trace, and there is no way to catch her.

Mu Nanqi had already prepared a carriage and a series of things that might be needed outside the city. He stood in the woods outside the city. Xiaocao, Lin'er, Huan'er and others all came to see him off.

Huan'er was very worried, "Miss, why don't you let us go with you? It's so far away so that we can have someone to look after you."

"Yes, although we don't know martial arts, we can at least take care of your food, clothing, housing and transportation." Qiu'er also agreed.

Song Zhi shook his head. "Master Qi has prepared some people to protect me. Don't worry, just wait here for me to come back."

After saying that, he looked at Mu Nanqi and said, "During this time, you should prepare for the marriage. I will be back soon."

Mu Nanqi squeezed her hand and said softly, "Okay."

Song Zhi got on the carriage and left, soon disappearing from the spot.

The driver was a secret guard in disguise as a coachman. This secret guard was the same secret guard who went with him to the border town last time, so they were quite familiar with each other.

Both of them were delayed along the way, and they were either resting or rushing on their way.

The further north you go, the colder the temperature becomes.

At first, Song Zhi only needed to wear a small jacket, and he needed to add a cloak at the back. Later, the small jacket and cloak had to be accompanied by a hand warmer.

After walking for many days, they saw that the mountain peaks in the distance were covered with white snow.

It's only early winter, but it already feels like deep winter.

Song Zhi let out a breath, and hot air instantly surged out from between his lips and teeth like a soft cloud of mist.

She looked at the map in her hand and realized that it would take about four or five days to reach the border.

Because it was getting late, she decided to rest for a night in the nearest town before setting off again.

People here have already put on thick clothes because the temperature will drop sharply after the sun goes down, so the vendors have already closed their stalls at this time and basically no one is walking on the street.

Song Zhi found an inn. The proprietress quickly stood up from behind the counter when she saw a guest. When she saw the carriage behind her, she smiled and said, "Please park in the backyard. It's spacious and there are stables."

The secret guard followed the waiter into the backyard from the side, while Song Zhi followed the proprietress upstairs to choose a room.

The proprietress was a beautiful woman with a lingering charm. Seeing that Song Zhi was well-dressed and good-looking, she said, "Miss, you are not from here. Are you here to look for relatives?"
