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

No one present spoke at this time, and the entire imperial garden was unusually quiet.

The ladies pretended to continue admiring the flowers, but they pricked up their ears to listen to the noise over here.

They have completely understood Song Yale's status in the royal family. Song Yang is the master of the Song family. She only has the favor of Sun, but Sun has no power.

Song Yang visibly disliked Song Yale after the incident of breaking off the engagement. Without the support of the Song family, Song Yale was at best a thing that took advantage of the prince's favor and occupied the title of crown princess.

Even the title of Crown Princess may not last long.

The Queen's attitude was clearly intended to show goodwill to Song Zhi, and anyone could see that.

Song Zhi also realized that the Queen thought this was a way for her to 'vent her anger', so she deliberately humiliated Song Yale in various ways.

Everyone saw it, except Song Yale herself, who was confused by the situation and didn't see it.

She felt that the matter was done and she had become the Crown Princess known to the world, and everything was set in stone.

What's more, Mu Qinghan treated her with love. Even if the emperor and empress were annoyed by her previous concealment of her identity, they would turn a blind eye for Qinghan's sake.

She never expected that the current situation would be a big blow to her. The queen had never regarded her as her own daughter-in-law.

Anya Song felt a little suffocated, and her whole body was shaky.

She wanted to resist, but she had no capital to resist. Even though she didn't want to lose face in front of Song Zhi at this moment, she could not refuse the queen's order.

Taking a long breath, Anya Song tried her best to steady her breathing and said, "Your son obeys."

She slowly retreated, and before leaving, she glared at Song Zhi with resentment and unwillingness, as if she wanted to eat Song Zhi.

Song Zhi found it ridiculous that instead of blaming the person she should blame, she put the blame on herself.

What's more, isn't this the result of her hard work? Why should I hate her?

Song Zhi sneered in his heart, but his expression remained calm.

Anyway, she and Song Yale were destined to be unable to reconcile, and it didn't matter whether she resented him or not. Once she dealt with Mu Qinghan, the next one to pay the blood debt would be Song Yale.

The Queen picked up the teacup and slowly used the lid to stir the tea leaves on the surface. She said in a deep voice, "I thought Yale was a good person, but it turns out that he is not as steady as Zhier."

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. The Crown Princess is gentle and virtuous. Many women in the capital look up to her as a role model."

Song Zhi looked indifferent, even though this happened a long time ago.

At that time, Song Yale had not yet hooked up with Mu Qinghan. Her talent and personality were first-class, so she was indeed well-known and sought after in the capital.

As for now, even though she has the title of Crown Princess, any woman with a little status is unwilling to associate with her, especially unmarried girls.

Birds of a feather flock together. Everyone is afraid that getting close to her will affect their reputation and make it difficult to propose marriage.

So now Song Yale is like a helpless dodder, and can only cling tightly to Mu Qinghan.

But she herself couldn't see the situation clearly and thought she had turned into a phoenix by flying to a tree.

The two chatted idly, and during this time the queen kept trying to lead the topic to Mu Qinghan, but every time Song Zhisi managed to avoid the topic.

As the mother of a country, the queen looked kind and indifferent, but there was a hint of depth in her eyes as she looked at Song Zhi.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with the Queen, Song Zhi left on the pretext of wanting to look at the flowers everywhere.

After leaving the Queen's side, Song Zhi felt that the air became much more freer.

After she left, several women of the same age came up to the queen to curry favor and chat with her, while some smart ones knew that they were just there to serve as a foil, so they stayed away.

Most people just wait and see.

Song Zhi walked to a pavilion a little further away and sat down. A group of palace maids immediately brought him snacks and tea.

Now the weather is gradually getting warmer, the sun is gentle, and the breeze is blowing. It is very comfortable to sit there.

She wanted to take a break for a while, but when she picked up the tea to drink, a faint smell rushed into her nose.

Her fingers froze for a moment, but she quickly adjusted them, naturally putting down the teacup and picking up the snack beside her.

But as soon as I put the snack to my mouth, the familiar smell rushed into my nose again.

She was too familiar with the taste of this medicine. After all, she was the boss of Yunshui Youyou, and there were plenty of such medicines that could arouse people and promote pleasure.

Song Zhi couldn't help but twitch her lips. She really overestimated the Queen's methods by drugging her food and tea in public.

Fearing that his intentions would be discovered, Song Zhi pretended to be nitpicking, put down the snacks, and said to the palace maid, "This tea isn't the pine needle tea I like, and the snacks smell too sweet. Remove them."

A trace of panic flashed across the maid's face. "Please wait a moment, young lady. We will go and change it for you."

After saying that, without waiting for Song Zhi to refuse, he picked up the things on the table and left quickly.

Song Zhi's hand that wanted to stop him stopped in mid-air, and he could only withdraw it silently.

After a while, the best pine needles and new snacks were placed in front of Song Zhi.

What remains unchanged is what is added here.

Song Zhi sighed. If she didn't eat some of these things today, it would be difficult for her to leave the palace smoothly.

As she thought about it, she picked up the smallest dessert on the table, put it to her lips and took a bite.

Seeing that she had successfully eaten it, the palace maids all breathed a sigh of relief.

She finished the dessert in a few bites, pretended to be tired, and leaned against the pillar to take a nap.

Just as I closed my eyes, there was a sudden 'pop' sound.

A palace maid accidentally knocked over the teacup, and the tea spilled right onto Song Zhi's dress.

The maid knelt down in panic and said, "Please forgive me, young lady. I saw that the tea was cold and wanted to change it for a hot cup, but I accidentally knocked over the cup."

Song Zhi sighed in his heart, it was really hard for these palace maids to act so sincerely.

She waved her hand generously to indicate that she wouldn't mind it, and then, while no one was paying attention, she covered her face and spit the snack in her mouth into her sleeve.

Seeing the commotion here, the queen and her men walked over slowly.

After briefly explaining the situation, the queen immediately punished the maid who spilled the tea and had her taken to Kunning Palace to change into clean clothes.

In her previous life, as the Crown Princess, she was not very familiar with the entire palace, but at least she was very familiar with the way to Kunning Palace. After all, she had to pay her respects to the "Queen Mother" every day.

But now these palace maids were taking her in twists and turns, and it was not the way to Kunning Palace at all.

She showed no sign of abnormality and continued to follow them calmly.

Soon, they arrived at a quiet palace.

Song Zhi recognized that this palace was the one where Mu Qinghan lived before he moved into the East Palace.

Because no one has lived here for many years and there are no servants who stay here regularly to clean the place, it seems a bit quiet.

Standing at the door, she asked, "Aren't we going to Kunning Palace to change clothes? Why did you bring me here?"

The leading maid said calmly, "This is where the girls change their clothes. Just go in."

Song Zhi laughed playfully, "What if I don't go in?"

The maid didn't say much, but just said coldly: "Miss, this is the imperial palace."

She didn't say anything explicitly, but the threat was obvious.
