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

Having not seen each other for a long time, the two looked at each other with deep longing in their eyes.

Sitting on the couch in front of the window, Mu Nanqi took her hand and placed it in his palm, "Why have you lost so much weight?"

Song Zhi shook his head. "It's okay. I just moved around a lot while traveling, so I lost some weight."

She leaned her head on his shoulder and asked, "What do you think about the ring and pendant?"

Mu Nanqi's voice was cold, "Uncle Song asked for my opinion before entering the palace, and it was I who agreed to let him wear the ring and pendant to the palace to meet the emperor."

"Why are you so calm? You don't look like you know such an important life story."

"I know how to do it, but what if I don't know how to do it?"

Mu Nanqi thought clearly, "The prejudice and harsh treatment of the past ten years can never be erased. He can't let all this happen, and I can't be so generous as to be a loving father and a filial son to him in the future."

His eyes were long and dark. "I told you long ago in the prison that he had severed the last blood relationship between us."

Song Zhi hugged him distressedly and said, "He is not worthy of being a father. I will support you no matter what choice you make."

Mu Yuanzhi always said that they were the same kind of people, but if you think about it carefully, it is obvious that Mu Nanqi is more like her.

A father who doesn't love me, a mother who doesn't love me.

They are all poor kids.

The two of them snuggled together and talked a lot. After knowing Mu Nanqi's attitude, Song Zhi no longer mentioned the Dog Emperor.

She told him about her experiences over the past four months, in every detail.

When he heard Huang Bing's malicious attitude towards her, he frowned.

After hearing that Huang Bing's 30,000 people were thrown into the mountain torrent, his brows quickly relaxed again.

When he heard that she had conquered the first city on the border with ease, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

When he heard that the taxes of the people in many cities had increased by 20%, his smile suddenly disappeared.

Song Zhi was amused by his varied expressions. "But I brought back the witnesses and evidence. They will play the biggest role at the most critical moment."

Mu Nanqi nodded, "You've grown very quickly, and now you can arrange these things completely independently."

The woman had only been gone for four months, but the changes in her expression were huge.

Although she was still wearing the same clothes she wore when she left, her overall temperament was much more capable.

Her clear eyes were filled with confidence. If Song Zhi was like a bright pearl before, then now she was not only a bright pearl, but also a shining pearl, so dazzling that people could not take their eyes off her.

Song Zhi could sense his emotional changes and comforted him, "Don't worry, no matter how independent you are, you will always be my unique choice in this life."

Mu Nanqi was successfully coaxed into happiness, and his eyes were so gentle that it seemed as if he could make her indulge in them.

"Ah Zhi, I feel the same way."

The two talked until very late before they were reluctantly about to part. After taking two steps, Song Zhi suddenly remembered something and chased after him.

Unexpectedly, Mu Nanqi stopped suddenly when he heard the footsteps, and she bumped into his strong back without any preparation.

Song Zhi was pushed back two steps by inertia and bumped into the antique shelf.

She casually swept her arm and the vase above fell to the ground.

It was just a broken vase, so she didn't take it seriously.

Unexpectedly, when she lowered her head and her eyes met the familiar cloth among the fragments, the blood in her body suddenly rushed to her head.

Song Zhi's face flushed red, and regardless of Mu Nanqi's attempt to pull her hand, she quickly picked up the things on the ground and hid them behind her.

"Are you OK?"

Mu Nanqi looked at her hands behind her back with concern and confusion.

Song Zhi shook his head and said, "I'm fine. It's getting late, you should go back and rest."

"Did you have something to say to me just now?"

"No."

Song Zhi glanced around, his tone guilty, "We've been talking all night, what else is there to say?"

In fact, she originally wanted to chase after them and ask if the embroidery shop had finished making the wedding dress, but now she wanted to find a crack in the ground to stuff this damn pajamas into.

Mu Nanqi continued to look at her hands behind her back.

Song Zhixin lied, "It's just my pajamas, what are you looking at?"

Mu Nanqi didn't say anything, but just smiled.

"Okay, go quickly."

Song Zhi urged them to leave.

He quietly retreated to the door and said, "Ah Zhi, I actually saw what it was."

Song Zhi's face turned red again. Before he could react, he saw Mu Nanqi quickly close the door and leave.

Song Zhi stared at the clothes in her hands in annoyance. Her lifelong reputation was at stake!

That night, Song Zhi tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep.

I finally fell asleep, and my dreams were filled with the pajamas made of Shu brocade.

This resulted in Song Zhi looking extremely bad the next morning, as if he was about to seduce someone.

She finished her breakfast listlessly, and because she didn't want to meet Mu Nanqi, she quietly left Gouer Lane and returned to the Song Mansion.

Before leaving, she closed the door and refused visitors due to "physical weakness caused by poisoning", putting on a complete show. Naturally, it would be safer to return to the Song Mansion.

Song Yang, Song Chenfeng and others had already heard the news of Song Zhi's return, so they waited at home on their day off and did not go anywhere.

As soon as he entered the Song Mansion, he heard the news that the emperor was seriously ill.

He probably just couldn't accept such a blow and made himself sick with anger.

Mu Yuan went to visit before, but for some reason they parted on bad terms.

Xiao Qingzi said that he vaguely heard the Dog Emperor say that Mu Yuanzhi had taken Mu Nanqi's place, and told him to never target Mu Nanqi in the future.

There was another sentence that Xiao Qingzi was not sure if she heard correctly.

He said he seemed to have heard the dog emperor tell Eunuch Li that he wanted to depose Mu Yuanzhi and make Mu Nanqi the crown prince.

But now that we have just lost 300,000 troops, it is not the best time to change the crown prince, whether for the trust of the people or the stability of the court officials.

Eunuch Li advised the emperor to think twice, and even if he really wanted to do so, he should wait a little longer.

Song Zhi just found it funny when he heard these words. Is the dog emperor going to start compensating Mu Nanqi?

Mu Yuanzhi must be extremely panicked now. After all, he is at risk of giving up the position of crown prince before he even gets comfortable in it.

"Sister, you're finally back. You don't even know that if Dad and I hadn't received your letter when the snow closed the mountain, we would have almost gone to the border to look for you."

Song Chenfeng walked forward with concern and looked his sister up and down.

The more he looked at her, the more frightened he became. His sister now exuded a kind of aura that was very familiar to him. He had seen it in General Feng before.

Song Chenfeng opened his mouth wide, "You went well this time, it seems much more formidable than before."

Song Yang walked over and glared at his silly son with dissatisfaction, "Your sister just came back, what nonsense are you talking about?"

He affectionately pulled Song Zhi inside and said, "My daughter, you must have suffered a lot on this journey. Dad looks thinner. Your Aunt Xie personally cooked ginseng soup. Hurry and drink two bowls to replenish your body."
