Having achieved his goal, Mu Yuanzhi left quickly.

He took the sedan chair and headed for the East Palace. A palace attendant beside him asked, "Your Highness, are you truly willing to give up the throne of Crown Prince?"

Mu Yuanzhi glanced at the man coldly and waved at him. He then leaned over with his ear tilted as usual.

Perhaps it was because he had been with Mu Yuanzhi for too long, so he was not on guard at all.

After all, everyone knew that Mu Yuanzhi had always trusted him.

However, this time, he miscalculated.

A huge force gripped his throat. Mu Yuanzhi's expression was ferocious at this moment, as if he wanted to eat someone.

He whispered in the palace maid's ear, "I'm in a bad mood today and I really want to kill someone. It would be fine at other times, but who told you to try to test me by putting me in danger right now?"

He gradually retracted his fingers, and the palace maid's face immediately turned red due to difficulty breathing.

The sedan chair had stopped. The palace maids wanted to break free, but found that they could not move it at all.

This kind of strength doesn't seem like the strength that a weak and sick person can use.

The palace maid's eyes widened in fear and she waved her hands in vain.

It was not until he was about to suffocate that he realized that Mu Yuanzhi really wanted to kill him.

The palace maid's face was full of confusion. He really didn't understand. He was obviously Mu Yuanzhi's confidant, so why did he want to take his life just because of a disagreement.

Mu Yuanzhi also noticed his confusion, so he kindly leaned close to his ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Do you really think I don't know that you are someone that my father has planted to monitor me?"

Hearing these words, the palace maids were extremely shocked.

He knew that he would die today, and the light in his eyes went out instantly.

A servant is unfaithful to two masters, which is a big taboo.

The palace maid died alive. Mu Yuanzhi threw her away like a rag and wiped his hands with disgust.

He looked calm and composed.

It was just killing a spy, which was nothing compared to his willingness to swallow his anger and give up his position.

Even if the emperor was angry, he would not argue with him at this time.

The sedan chair left slowly, and the passing of a life did not cause any waves.

The rest of the people were silent as a mouse, not daring to make a sound.

After returning to the East Palace, he quickly wrote a few letters and sent them to the border.

His grand plan can be put on the agenda now.

Power and beauty will all be his!

Mu Yuanzhi's face was full of frost and irony.

If the emperor had paid attention to his growth process, he would have known how it was possible for a sunflower to bloom in the mud.

A truly gentleman must have grown up surrounded by love.

How could he feel warm and gentle when he had never enjoyed love for a single day?

He only greets everyone with a smile because he is too weak.

Mu Yuanzhi stared at the plum blossoms outside the window in a daze.

He suddenly wanted to know, if he had to choose between the throne and Mu Nanqi, what would his father choose?

……

Unlike the heavy atmosphere in the palace, the entire Song Mansion was decorated with lights and colorful lights.

As the wedding day draws closer, the mansion begins to busy itself with decorations.

Song Zhi didn't want to mobilize a large army, and kept persuading Song Yang not to go to great lengths.

Song Yang said that he only had this one daughter, so he had to give her a good wedding.

Mu Yuanzhi went to visit the Song Mansion the next day. Knowing that he could not hide the fact that he was visiting, he did not intend to avoid Song Zhi.

Even though he had prepared himself mentally, he was still a little dazed after seeing the scorching red.

Song Zhi did not go out to receive guests, which was normal for a girl about to get married.

Song Yang didn't know why Mu Yuanzhi came, but he didn't show any negligence.

They drank tea in the flower hall and chatted about some family matters before Mu Yuanzhi got to the point.

"Sir Song, my father sent me here to discuss the matter of my third brother with you."

Song Yang frowned slightly, "Please speak frankly, Your Highness."

Mu Yuanzhi said gently, like a kindly old man: "Father's point is that Third Brother is of royal blood after all, and he must not marry into the royal family. Of course, Father doesn't mean to oppose this marriage, but he wants to give me some grievances and not exchange the marriage certificate and affix the official seal for the time being."

Song Yang stood up angrily and said, "Not exchanging the marriage certificate is the same as having an affair without a matchmaker. Nan Qi is indeed a prince, and my child is also my treasure. How could he be treated so rudely?"

Mu Yuanzhi raised his hand and pressed it to signal him to calm down. "Uncle Song, actually, from my personal perspective, I also think that the emperor's decision is indeed inappropriate. I have tried my best to persuade the emperor, but you also know the emperor's temperament. It is always difficult to change his decisions."

Song Yang's beard was shaking with anger. "So what? Even if we take a step back, Nan Qi no longer has any relationship with the royal family. Marriage is a family matter. Does the emperor really want to forcibly interfere in other people's family affairs?"

Mu Yuanzhi sighed, "But as long as the emperor doesn't give in, I'm afraid it will be difficult to approve the marriage."

Song Yang gritted his teeth and said, "Then I won't marry you! I can raise my daughter for the rest of her life."

Hearing the answer he wanted, Mu Yuan couldn't suppress the upturned corners of his mouth.

He tried his best to control his emotions and said gently, "Uncle, don't be angry. Since you don't agree, I will definitely go back and ask my father to consider it."

After saying that, Mu Yuanzhi left without staying any longer.

He did not ask about Song Zhi's situation at all, as if he really came just to complete the task assigned by the emperor.

As he was leaving, he heard Song Yang shouting furiously behind him, "Stop, stop hanging up, stop hanging up."

Well, the Song Mansion looks more comfortable without the red silk.

Mu Yuanzhi walked briskly, and Song Zhicai came out from a small room on the side until his figure disappeared at the gate.

Song Yang also lost his furious look and returned to a calm demeanor. He looked deeply at Song Zhi, "Zhi'er, what do you think?"

Song Zhi's eyes were fixed. "Based on my understanding of the Dog Emperor, he wouldn't do anything like this at this critical moment. It's very likely that Mu Yuanzhi is trying to sow discord."

Song Yang thought it made sense. The emperor had kept him after court several times as if he had something to say.

But every time, after talking for a long time, she would say nothing and just let him go back with a sense of loss.

That attitude doesn't seem to be very tough.

Furthermore, if the emperor had such intention, he could have just said it directly, so why would he have needed Mu Yuanzhi to convey the message?

The father and daughter both had deep eyes and were skeptical about Mu Yuanzhi's statement.

However, in order to prevent Mu Yuanzhi from causing trouble, Song Zhi still called the secret guards to make some arrangements.

Under Song Yang's urging, the bright red silk was hung up again.

The servants were busy and having a great time.

The Song family has always been generous to their servants. Last time, Song Yang and Xie Yinyin got married, they gave them a lot of rewards, so they worked extra hard.
